At Metroplex Sprint, I was surprised to see a lot of people stand up before the swim exit and try walk through chest-deep water. That's not very efficient. I swam right past them until it was too shallow to swim anymore.

This is me, completely sub-consciously pulling my singlet down so my belly won't be hanging out:


On the run, I used the first mile to settle in, then during miles 2 and 3, all I did was pick out someone in front of me and get up to them. Didn't matter if the person was male, female, young or old. With about 1/4 mile to go, my victim was about to be a 21-year old guy. I gasped, "I am... old enough... to be... your... mother... Do NOT... let me... pass you!" He thought about it for a second, saw how close he was to the finish, and took off.

Here I am, working way too hard to realize that my belly is hanging out:

I like that run strategy! I'm gonna try that next time. Your race bib is nicely covering up your tummy, so no worries! Congrats on a great race and a strong finish!

Your legs are hot hot hot, ma'am. And the bottoms of your feet are pretty nice, too!

I should start saying that when I pass other guys at Ironman... just to make them break their concentration.

I laughed at the "old enough" line. Hard enough to snort.

The strategically placed race bib makes all the difference! You got kudos yesterday at the workout for your race. Congrats!
