Guelph I June 24th 2006

My first race in the "big girls" age group.

I improved my overall position to 109th out of 123 from 116th out of 125 in this same distance race September 2005.

I came 4th in my age group, my goodness are those older chicks speedy!

I was a bit disappointed with not getting an age group position, but as Pete reminded me, I have moved up to the serious athletes distance now! I felt a bit better after his comment, I had forgotten that fact!

What a relief to see the side view - I thought you had a dragon tatooed on your left arm!!!
Great photos - you look just as cool at the end as you did at the beginning. Good luck for the next one.
