Tour De Saint George 101 mile bike race. Yeah! I did it!  I rode the whole way with Tiffany. I had a great time, despite the cold, cold, cold, COLD weather and Rain. I was soaked to the bone! Over half the people dropped out! We must have been the last to arrive, because after we came in, they started packing up!!! 

Tiff and I got a flat tire at the same exact time with only 5 miles to go. Our fingers were so frozen, we couldn't even change our tire. I called Ryan to come and change our tires! He was there in a few minutes (since we were only 5 miles away)...he tempted us by saying he would give us a ride back....but by golly...i came this far, i wasn't going to stop now.  

 After we started for the last descent, it started to POUR...so bad that I wished my glasses had windshield wipers!!!!

 Ryan did it too and finished 2.5 hrs before me, he said he was shocked that when he got done that the car was still there because he thought I would have quit hrs ago and would be at home in a warm bath....I love it when i am underestimated....it makes me look cooler!!!

A warm bath I did take after I got home. In fact I kept refilling the tub with warm water until our water tank was empty!!!!!

Now I am ready for bed!!

Anji! Congrats on your bike race, you are a trooper in that rain!

Oh my HE** (heavens) I feel SO out of the loop- I had no idea you were doing the ironman! Anji that's so AWESOME, I'm not surprised, I"m super excited for you! I can totally relate to your open water swim this last week, I had a complete "freak out" experience 2 weeks before ironman, where I hyperventilated and I thought I might drown! I had to go back to the lake and swim that same night just to prove that I was going to be ok, it's like getting bucked off a horse and getting back on to prove who is boss! Anyway, I'd love to chat with you sometime! Take care and I'll keep in touch with ya, I've been so busy I'm way out of the loop!

amber- thanks....am your not really out of the loop because i haven't even officially signed up for IM yet!!!! The last few yrs I have seemed to be cursed and I get injured right before the race I am training for.....so I really am not signing up till like the week of!!! hee hee. silly I know.... some days I don't think I am doing it...and others I'm totally for it!!! I still am not running much, but I figured I could walk most of it, like everyone else did!!! (well except for maybe you, I think you are the only person I know who actually ran pretty much the whole thing!). Do you have a bike yet??? I would love to have more biker buddies!!
