| OCup 1 - first race at Expert - decided to keep this one cool just to test what it feels like to go at race pace for the extra 9K from last year...ended up 3rd and totally shocked myself! All in all a great race and a great day for racing - the new bike worked like a charm!! OCup #2 here I come, and push it I will... |

| Waterloo 1/2 Marathon |
| warm up/down 20:00 [2] | |
| |
| easy run with form exercise to get things lose |
| road run (Waterloo Race) 1:46:00 [4] | |
| |
| This one was odd, but oddly good...had trouble getting to the car due to downpour and chill, but figured I'd make the drive and just see what it was like in Waterloo. Picked up my race package, and hesitated picking up the chip cuz 80% of me was not going to run due to constant downpour and 6degr. weather. Somehow, the chip ended up on my ankle, and I was at the start. Nerves didn't even have a chance to set in cuz in my mind, I was just gonna run a bit, and then chill. The gun went off, so I figured I'd just have a nice training run - still downpour. Then things were feeling good, so after a very slow start, I decided I didn't want to be wet and cold any longer than need be, so I kicked in. Had agreat run, and a good time despite the slow start - might make this a habit. Back felt great; hams are tight, but good... |
| Note | |

| I just checked the results page and to my utter shock AND awe, I was 3rd in my catagory - I have NEVER placed in a road race...wow...stunned. Prizes to follow!!! |
