Thanks! Seriously, how do they just keep going? I think that the worse was that she would smile at me when I was passing her or she was passing me. Evil.
YAY! I'm glad you finished it, and that you are thinking you might do another! It's the worst when you are battling the voices in your head about going on.
On the swim, what was off with your breathing? or was it just that it was choppy?
I'm not sure exactly what was wrong about my breathing, it seemed that everytime I opened my mouth for the breathing a wave would come in. I couldn't get them timed right so I was breathing over the crest of the wave Plus, salt water really dries your mouth out! I don't know why that never occured to me before?
And thanks! Finishing is good. Much, much better than doing the triathlon.
Awesome! Swimming scares the hell out of me, especially in open water. I totally relate to the mental path you took through this race, rationalizing a dropping out, realizing that once you're so far in you might as well keep going. Congratulations on your finish.
Thanks! You should do one too - I managed so everyone else should. I think (know) that I will actually train better for the next one. It was too painful to not learn from it.

Oh, the little old lady plodders, with their consistant pace. Boo!
It sounds like fun (well, the finishing part). Congratulations again.
