Triathlon season has come to an end. Well, there are more races but our little group might be done. Gina, Pam and Val all headed to Federal Way for the Suburu All Women's sprint tri this past weekend. Such and exotic location. Gina was glad to have Val there to show them the ropes.
Results ! I know that's what you want to hear about. SO, drum roll please (ABB)...............................
Val won our age group AGAIN - AS USUAL - TO BE EXPECTED - whatever
But the results sheet shows that she really had to work for it. Our buddy Karen B. gave her a good run for the money, placing second by mere seconds. 4 to be exact. Not bad for a couple of old gals who really didn't put in a ton of training this summer. Both Val and Karen were in the Top 10 overall, too.
Gina put in a top 10 performance, and who cares how many were in the age group. TOP TEN, BABY !! she did say that the course is hard... esp. the transition from swim to bike where she had to run barefoot across a parking lot for a mile. ouch ouch... I exaggerate the distance, but as I'm a tenderfoot, too, I'm sure the pain was real.
Newbie Tri-er Pam B. was in the top 50 percentile of her age group (of which she's in her last year, being 49.... look out next year all you smug 50 year olds) She placed 19th, and when that swim stroke gets as smooth as her jump shot I think she will be podium material.
Our other racing buddy, Judy Fisher, in the 65 year old age group, took 1st. AS USUAL.
