Here is a link to the few other pictures we took. Wish we'd have gotten a picture of Phil with his plaque for winning 1st place in his age group in the Olympic!! http://picasaweb.google.com/sandy.plentzas/MountainMan2008Week 19

Thurs 7/17

Fri 7/18
Scheduled/Actual Workout:
1 hr bike, 30 min jog – I survived my first experience of going over the handlebars on my bike this morning! Phil and I rode an hour with FWT, starting at Starbucks there at 67th & 101. Just as we were pulling back into SB parking lot to drop my bike off so I could do my 30 min run, my front tire caught one of the seams in the concrete area of the parking lot, and I was going just the right speed (thankfully, very slow) for my wheel to decide to follow the seam instead of the direction of the rest of my body, and over the handlebars I went! Phil said he looked up and there I was rolling in front of my bike. All I could hear was your voice saying “you can NOT get injured between now and the event!” J My right elbow got scraped up, but thank the Lord, that was all. Phil put my bike in the truck and I took off on my run, and all was good.
Sat 7/19
Scheduled/Actual Workout: REST
Sun 7/20
Scheduled/Actual Workout:
Mountain Man Half-Ironman!! Swim 1.2, Bike 56, Run 13.1
Came in 77 out of 89, and dead last in my age group, but this wasn’t a race for me anyway. Even if it was, I doubt I’d have been any faster since I was trying very hard to conserve energy to get through the run. The bike was harder than I expected with the hills. I just haven’t been training hills at all, or altitude, and since I didn’t drive the course beforehand, all I had to go by was my memory of the Olympic course from last year. My legs were pretty beat by the run, but I just kept plodding away. Wish we had some pictures from when Phil saw me at the aid stations at miles 10 and 11.5. It was raining SO hard, it was comical.
