That course is hilly as hell so it still sounds like you did pretty good to me, of course I doubt that would cheer you up if a trophy couldn't. A free race entry is still sweet though. I couldn't find a course map of Culpepper, is that just as hilly?Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02517428815573698474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581132630137396385.post-84789211372170052832012-05-24T18:00:27.523-07:002012-05-24T18:00:27.523-07:00I don't like the idea of people wearing calf s...I don't like the idea of people wearing calf sleeves (to possibly?) cover their race markings. That sounds like a pretty intense race and I do like the plaque though. <br /><br />I'm sorry to hear the race wasn't as good as you would have hoped. I know you aren't too happy but from an outside (and trifail) it looks great to me.hollie@fueledbylolzhttp://www.fueledbylolz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581132630137396385.post-13181867865697262372012-05-24T12:08:42.209-07:002012-05-24T12:08:42.209-07:00Congrats on the podium finish!

I basically feel like this at the end of every tri I do. You still had a good race though.

It has nothing to do with your physical limits or fitness, and it always makes me mad after the fact. <br /><br />But, hey, trophy!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187172647072971436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581132630137396385.post-59362503534216417212012-05-24T08:57:34.670-07:002012-05-24T08:57:34.670-07:00Nice job on the plate/award!

It's quite a tough run and it's really hard to keep up a fast pace at that point in the day.kmwprohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06253956058337564535noreply@blogger.com
