I'm definitely interested.<br /><br />You really looked great out there. <br /><br />Question: What aerobars did you get for Roberta?

Beautifully done. You're gonna have an almost pancake flat bike at IM FL.

Good for you for pushing through & knocking out such a GREAT new PR!! <br /><br />I must say - I really like how you have your main goal, a secondary goal & a "perfect conditions" goal. I was so bummed after my last sprint because I had an awful performance & was nowhere near my goal times...but it was super hot & windy, so my bike & run legs were much slower. Had I given myself a secondary goal I might not have been so down on myself after crossing the finish line. <br /><br />Dare I say this recap is making me actually consider a Half Iron someday? ...but I guess I need to get through my first Olympic before I consider that...Theresa @ActiveEggplanthttp://activeeggplant.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6475703851125751608.post-43615531801328529392011-09-13T09:00:33.821-04:002011-09-13T09:00:33.821-04:00Nice work, CJ.
