I was a bit nervous about this race (LB tri #3) because I had pulled one of my hip flexors about 2 1/2 weeks prior and wasn't able to train the way I wanted right before the race. I had barely run or gotten on the bike in 2 weeks. I wasn't sure if I could perform well enough or if I would just end up injuring myself even more....BUT,  In the begining of the summer I made it a goal of mine to win the series award for best triathlete out of the Long Branch Triathlon Series. In order to even be a contender for this award, I had to race. Considering my situation, I couldn't have been happier landing 6th place overall, and winning my age group again! Now we will have to wait until September 9th to see about the Series Award! To the ones who came out to support me in the blowin rain, THANK YOU!!!

This was the first Xterra (off-road) Triathlon for Ryan and I. Getting to do it with our buddy Tim AND all placing top 3 in our separate age-groups was an awesome way to begin the 2012 tri season!!...and getting to camp out the night before wasn't bad either.
