7th place!


Ok, look how steep this hill is!
Here I am in the middle of the pack.

This is me just before the finish. It is out of focus because I am going so fast!


I just finished my 4th race and took 7th place! Hooray for me! The guy in front of me was only 8 seconds ahead of me too. If I had known that, I could have pushed a little harder there at the end, as the top six finishers get at least a ribbon! Anyway, the problem again was those darn hills! It isn't that I am slow going up them (there are people who walk up them!), there are just people who don't seem to realize that they are going up, and don't slow down! But I still managed to pass at least 3 people in my group in the last 2 miles or so to get my 7th place finish. Oh, and the winner was only 7 minutes ahead of me too! I am slowly closing the gap!

I think I deserve some credit here for being such a great cheerleader and photographer! That steep hill brian was talking about....I jogged up it to get his picture. I'm such a good wife :-)
