What a great race!
I am ...Seriously amazing job!! What a great race!<br /><br />I am one of those slow people out of the swim transition. I get so winded by the swim I can hardly breathe when I come out of the water. All I really want to do is just sit down for a minute and catch my breath. I usually end up running at first, but walking by the time I reach my bike.<br /><br />Again - GREAT job!Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584071206419891364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850016502233066661.post-82870649979173691932011-07-16T02:58:37.600-04:002011-07-16T02:58:37.600-04:00You are the man!
