Always have to have a goal. When I was preparing the morning of the race I thought, do I dare set a goal of top 100? I guess I did!

For the (Lake to Lake) race, I placed 34th overall out of over 400. I also placed Tenth of 110 in age category 40-49. Time 1:29:15 for the 29km race.

This was my goal destination, and I exceeded my expectations, and exceeded my family's too, who were also surprised, waiting at the finish.

My new profile pic is of this race.

    Thanks all for your kind words! I wasn't sure if this post was going into oblivion since nobody saw it for a few days.

    I did another local race (weekly summer series) Wednesday and got 15th out of 80. Just 5 seconds behind the women's champ of the original race above.

    krjack2 that's cool, I used to look at 'those guys' at the beginning of the races, and now I'm slowly becoming one of them. It is quite surreal.
