Guelph 1 - June 25th 2005

What a scorcher of a day with 35C/95F heat and the race not starting until 2:30pm no wonder I wasn't smiling on the finish line photo, I was just about cooked!

With a time of 1hr 1min 15sec my overall position was 285 out of 350 and 26th out of 46 in my age group.
The whole picture

T-Shirt Logo		 Both through the finish line
Both through the finish line		 My don't you look gorgeous waiting for the starters horn?
My don't you look gorgeous waiting for the starters horn?
And they're off
And they're off		 Oh wow, back already my but don't I look exhausted?
Oh wow, back already my but don't I look exhausted?		 Now if only I can get out of this wetsuit
Now if only I can get out of this wetsuit		 Is it this way to get my bike?

Off on to the bike part
Off on to the bike part		 On at the line
On at the line		 See you in about half an hour
See you in about half an hour		 Back already

Another elegant dismount

Back over the timing chip mat again		 Pass the race officials
Pass the race officials		 Racking the bike

Now on to the last bit

Hi Pete, I'll smile for the camera		 Do you like the lovely bike hat head hair do?
Do you like the lovely bike hat head hair do?		 Hi Pete, nearly done
Hi Pete, nearly done
Almost there, just another kilometer or so to go now
Almost there, just another kilometer or so to go now		 And crossing the finish line
And crossing the finish line		 The finish line is in sight
The finish line is in sight		 Through the finish line
Through the finish line
Phew thank heavens that is over
Phew thank heavens that is over		 Oh this cold shower is great in this 35C heat
Oh this cold shower is great in this 35C heat		 I could just stay here all day

Thank you Lesley, I'll probably do about one a month until the season ends in September.
