Holy Half Ironman, Batman
Chisago Lake Half Ironman? Done.

I'm too tired to bust out a wordy recap, but here are my splits...

Swim: 32:59 (1:42/100)
T1: 2:53
Bike: 3:45:01 (14.7 mph)
T2: 1:56
Run: 2:21:29 (10:48 min/mile)

Overall: 6:44:20

I was shooting for a 7-hour tri, so I'm pleased with my time. But if I ever say that I want to do another Half Ironman? PUNCH ME IN THE FACE.

Halfs are the bomb-diggity! I refuse to do any punching. Only encouraging.

Speaking of which. When is your next one?!

What? Too soon?

It was your first one! It gets easier! I hope! I'm doing my first half ironman at Square Lake in September.

Nice job!!!

Great to see you out there yesterday! I will do no face punching. My first HIM was a 6:57. You'll be hooked soon too :)

Too funny. Looking forward to the wordy version and a few days to go by to see if you sign up for another! LOL

Great job! I am signing up for my first half soon- I'll probably wish someone had slapped me too, but heck...I am a glutton for punishment!

Woman, you are BRILLIANT (with the balloon by your bike)! I am totally going to pull that move in future triathlons. It totally helped. Did you notice that our "Wave 8" sign got crushed by someone's transition bag? Without that balloon, I'd have taken way longer in T1 :-D

Great job on your race, you crushed your goal! You're one helluva swimmer. You'll reconsider that punch-in-the-face in a few months when you say to yourself: "Well, that half wasn't sooo bad..." And when you do, you should check out Liberty next June. That's a fun one, too. :-D

Well done!

Congrats, chica! That is an AMAZING time! You are such a rock star!! :)

Congrats!!! But it still says you want to do a full ironman under the 43 things to do before you die. Should we punch you in the face for that too?
