In contrast to the last race she took part in, the GCA Runaway back in June, this time we opted to leave the kids at home with Grammy due to the miserable weather. In fact, we were seriously doubting the race would even happen when the radar showed approaching thunderstorms. But by God's good grace, when race time rolled around, we were blessed with a break in the deluge.
Of course, the important bit - The results: Mom finished the course in 29.50, coming in 79th. More importantly, she placed 2nd in the 30-39 year women class. Woo hoo! Not bad when you consider the puddles, mud, and 77 year old men she had to dodge. Way to go, Mom!(Full results are available here (PDF).)
Next on the agenda? Mom keeps bringing up the idea of doing a triathlon. And a friend at church suggested they take part in a biathlon (I think she meant duathlon, but I needed a reason to post this pic).
