SATURDAY!!!!!!!! Sprint Tri!!!!!!!!!!
0.6 mile swim - 15 mile bike - 3.1 mile run
4:30 am alarm
Up and at 'em ladies!!!
This day would start with a sprint for Priscilla and me followed by a kids Duathlon for Danielle. We all three have to get up and ready. No one traveled with us so I was "Moming"and racing. We get up. Coffee made. Stuff gathered. A few Carolina Country Snacks pork cracklings for breakfast and some bacon.Out the door to transition at 5:15 ish. Walk from camper to transition. This was fabulous being on site camping at the venue! We get set up and head to swim start.
This is just a "for fun" or because we are stupid race for us. Rev 3 offered special perks and bling if you were willing to sign up for The Revolution Challenge. Sprint Saturday, Half Sunday. We were IN! Only around 25 people total took this challenge.
The Swim - Women first followed by Men 5 min later ( I hate being swam over top of ). We are off. I am spotting by Priscilla. She wanted to try and stay together as much as possible. The start was a little congested but thinned out a little after the first turn. And after the turn is when I lost the ability to sight ANYTHING. The bouys were orange, the water was brown. I couldn't see SHIT. I just kept swimming and making sure there were swim caps near me. Some men swam by. HOLY SHIT what is that??? THE GROUND, SEA WEED, WTF??..... Well it was both. Crawl, swim, crawl, swim shit. LAST BUOY!!! People are walking should I walk? They always say it's faster to swim as far as you can. Why are all these people walking? Stand up, sink to thighs in mud. OH HELL NO!!!!! I'll crawl all while being completely violated and I'm pretty sure raped by seaweed. OUT OF THE LONGEST SWIM EVER (not literally but figuratively). Watch said 0.9 miles covered.
Transition 1 - socks, bike shoes, helmet, sunglasses, bike and run out of transition
The Bike - I can FLY!!! 15 Miles. Have fun, get in aerobars and peddle bitch! Go, go, go!!! Prissy spotted headed back. Go, go, go!!!!
THIS SHIT IS FUN!!! YYYYYEEEEEHHHHHHAAAAAAWWWWW
Transition 2 - PRISSY!! Running shoes, hat, Prissy headed out , cold bottle from cooler in transition ( fabulous idea from ME ), running belt and RUN
The Run - I'm chasing Prissy. She's in my sight. Well that's probably because you just skipped the first 3 intervals dummy! DO NOT SCREW THIS UP!!. Pass Prissy, walk interval. Prissy passes me. She gets to walk interval. I pass Prissy. About the 5th time this happened she informed be me this was the suckiest game of leap frog ever. About 2 more times like that and we decide just to pick a watch (hers), follow it, and stay together. Running, encouraging, handing out mustard for crampers and just having a good time!!! Headed back to the finish!!! Damn we are going fast (for us). Down the massive hill without injury and into the finishers shoot!
THAT SWIM SUCKED but the bike and run were pretty FABULOUS.
Prissy goes to check her times ..... 2nd SECOND, SECOND, SECOND
SHE GOT SECOND IN HER AGE GROUP!!
Well shit, check mine...... ARE YOU SERIOUS??????????
!!!!!!!!!!!!WE BOTH GOT SECOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot describe this in words. Second is sweet but both you and your daughter, racing partner, and best friend getting second at the same race... A pretty big race..... HUGE FOR US!!! What a moral booster for tired arms and legs!!!!

Dani completed the kids Duathlon. She still hates running. The only time she smiled was taking Lilly across the finish. Lilly got a medal too .
Go see Rock Tape guys. Thank them for their magic taping!!! Back to camper for shower and wine to celebrate. Back to Rock Tape for a refresh. I got to meet another Athena group member Christina and her husband. Oh my goodness she was fabulous. It's great being able to finally meet people who have supported you so much virtually. Eat and get everything back together and ready to race the half tomorrow!
