Event got started with the releasing of the doves (no, I’m not kidding, they were real white doves). Dan had a great swim – gently passed the 12 year old who started in front of him - and that’s the last I saw of Dan. The pool at Heritage is great, FS Series did an awesome job with the staggered swim start and the bike course was a lot of fun. Lots of steep short climbs and enough downhills to say “weeee” (inside my head, not out loud for anyone to hear me). Dan told me that this is one of his favorite bike courses and I could see why and would now have to agree with him. The run course on the other hand….not so much. Those steep hills were no fun to run and the dark pavement got wavy from the blistering heat quickly. Best part of the run were all the neighbors watering their flowers and passing runners, and little kids with their super-soaker water guns who loved for runners to approach and say “Okay. Bring it!” I was drenched by the end of the run, including my shoes, and I was glad when it was over and I could find some shade. Checked the stats and Dan and I both finished top 10 in our age group (I’m not going to say who’s older). Dan finished 6th with a total time of 1:03 and I finished 9th with a total time of 1:15. GREAT JOB to everyone who got out there and left a little sweat on a course somewhere this weekend and came home with a sense of accomplishment!! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CyclistsOfWilson-COWs" group.
