Race results

Students,
   I had told many of you I had one of my biggest races this past weekend.  The task was to run 2.6 miles, bike 17 miles and run another 2.6 miles.  The task was very challenging.  The bike part was espeically hard because there were many hills that were right into the wind.  Please check the link to find my results.  I did very well on the run parts, but could have done better on the bicycle.  I got 2nd in my age group, but a little but of faster biking could have won me the group.  Maybe next year!

Unfortunately, they have me down as a female (weird) so that messes up the results a little bit.  I got my best time yet and this proves that hard work really pays off.
