It was so sweet - as you went by and I offered you water, you said "No thank you!" And gave me the sweetest smile. A friend of mine who was spectating a few feet away said "how can she be so friendly at this point in the race! She's amazing!" ha ha! So, while we didn't officially get to meet, it was great to see you race - way to go!!!!!Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575577872803103610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577879543257460285.post-57871383852611509132011-07-19T10:51:06.469-04:002011-07-19T10:51:06.469-04:00Nice work on the races!

We wish we had the opportunity to race as often as you do - living vicariously through you and Tom these days, ha! The matching cap and tri-suit - nice! It's the little things, right?!<br /><br />Ever thought of starting up your own racing company?

I was trying to keep track of you and Tom with other competitors. With Tom, it was easier to locate his group. <br /><br />Even with all the bumps, I liked the looks of this race <br /><br />With this weird distance, I am assuming this the first time you both at these distances, leaving instant PR's, which makes my good luck streak for Tom to 3 straight PR races.Big Daddy Dieselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868041775049514011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577879543257460285.post-25138676738582092802011-07-19T09:51:20.286-04:002011-07-19T09:51:20.286-04:00wowzers another podium another race and another Te...wowzers another podium another race and another Team Kingery domination!

WOW. We had the same problem with the buoys and swim caps for our wave. Yellow on Yellow especially when the buoys were to be multicolored triangles and turned into yellow triangles and our course lengthened for no apparent reason.<br /><br />Way to hang in there though and use that mental toughness to get through an otherwise weird ass triathlon distance race.<br /><br />Send you thoughts about the race to the RD and hopefully they will work to fix it in the future.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08914217156791555569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577879543257460285.post-6761350400335054312011-07-19T08:34:17.877-04:002011-07-19T08:34:17.877-04:00Goodness that's a busy weekend!

I thought the same thing about my last race having yellow buoys when we swam towards the sun and orange swimming away; why not switch them?! The yellow was pretty impossible to see. I can't imagine having tons of green bobbing around and trying to pick out which one to follow in the half a second you get when you site. haha<br /><br />Good job either way!Kurt @ Becoming An Ironmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865313303891773591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577879543257460285.post-74357980061502981822011-07-18T21:09:19.890-04:002011-07-18T21:09:19.890-04:00Yay Team Kingery!!
