Boulder 70.3 in Pictures

Sunrise at the Boulder Reservoir. If I wasn’t so nervous and in the porta potty, I might have enjoyed it!

swimstart1

I’ve said it before, this place called Boulder sucks:

You can see the terror/worry in my eyes.

I remember seeing the photographer inside a large fishbowl and wondered what he was doing.

swimstart2

“Hello, I am smiling to hide my anxiety. Right now I am actually peeing in my wetsuit.”

swimstart4

Finally getting in my groove:

bethbike

About 3 miles from the finish line. What’s not to smile about except that it’s 95 degrees and I almost crapped my pants.

Coming into the finish, glad this bitch is over.

This moment was worth 15 weeks of early morning workouts, one crash on the bike, the nerves, the uncertainty, the training hours:

PS: Finish video is HERE if you care.

    Such great pictures! Congrats again on an awesome race! I love your tri top - what brand is it? Since I want my upcoming race experience to be as good as yours, I thought I would start with the clothes and then work on the speed later ;)

    Chat settings in Gmail are easy to navigate and use and can be
    changed at any time, allowing you to personalize your
    Gmail chat experience continually, according to your needs.

    The dependency on meeting people directly and calling them too often has began to
    dwindle as meeting people on the internet and to chat online is more favorable because it reduces the travel time in
    contacting a friend conventionally, and also cuts down the cost factor involved in
    doing it through mobiles and phones. You can change how your audio behaves when you're on a call and when you have an incoming call.
