I knew I wasn't in great shape due to injuries but it was kind of ugly toward the end. We pluged in my Garmin and the number of up and down lines at the end looked like I was making up all sorts of lies on a lie detector test.

Age has some benefits though I did place third in my divison. But I could barly stand sitting all the way home, glad it wasn't farther. Now we have a  sports massage at 4:oo. Maybe it will help. 

Bye bye :)

Good job Sylvie! I know it wasn't the race you wanted but I think 3rd place AD is pretty decent! It was great to be able to hang out with you and Brent.

Hope the massage went well!

Good job today Sylvie! I don't know how you keep it up so well with your asthma! You are an inspiration to me! It sure was fun hanging out with you guys!

Good job! It was fun hanging out with you guys. Keep up the hard work and try and keep Brent down for awhile so he can get better! I'm way jealous of the massage!

Congratulations on a great race! Under 2 hrs is fantastic! Enjoy your massage!

3rd place finish plus a massage? Sounds pretty good to me!
