With the nicest weather in years and cool
temperatures all day we were totally not
prepared for the speedy times the girls
put down.

Claudia's bike split on their relay team,
with Megan as the swimmer,
caught Reene laying on the grass
surfing the web and withot her running
shoes on totally off guard.

We were barely able to finish our
breakfast before Teresa, Joanne, Kim,
and Elizabeth rolled in as age group
winners in the 1.2-mile Swim and 56-mile
Bike AquaBike ahead of just about
anybody.

Anne, Christine and Jen's relay team was
2nd in the women's relay division.

Kim and Megan fineshed their first 1/2
Ironman well under six hours meaning
that we again next year will have a
good chance of putting a couple of
girls back on the podium in the Barb's
Race.

And, then there was Jeanne who had
decided to do the 2.4 mile swim, 112
mile bike and 26.2 mile run distance.

12 hrs 50 minutes later she sprinted
across the finish line with a 1:15 hr
swim, a 6:15 hr bike including a flat
and then a 5:20 hr run with the last
8 miles the fastest of all day.

That time was 7 min faster that Reene's
time from last year so rumours have
it that a show- down is set for 2010.

Her time was also good enough for the
age group win so we all get to watch
the Awards Show Slide Show - thanks
Jeanne!

Actually, having to sit through the slide
show has allowed me to post this post
using Anne,s new iPhone while also
"missing" awards for people we don't
know!
