Hi Aimee
I know we haven't spoken since before the race and I have heard you are upset. And at this point rightfully so. I wish you had just contacted me to talk
but since you have gone this route I guess I should remind you of the conversation we had at Terrys post race breakfast where we discussed Cozumel and the fact that you were not going and I was and I asked your permission to pick up your race packet and you were nice enough to say yes and I want to thank you for your generosity.
I do owe you an apology for your name showing up in the results. That was not supposed to happen. As you can see (or could before the results were pulled ) I did not cross any of the timing mats, I did not do the swim but I did do a couple loops of the bike. I certainly did not do the three loops of the run. I might have run 4-5 miles on the run and saw a couple of our friends from home and ran along with them and chatted for a few minutes. Kerry can certainly tell you that she talked with me. I did not pace Kerry and I did not pace anyone else. I was not wearing the timing chip but I had it in my back pocket and crossed the finish line to turn it in so you would not get a charge for losing it. I did not think it would register and for that I apologize. If you want to talk I would be happy to hear from you.
Now for all the curious peeps out there I just want to say that when I go along to these races I like to get out and ride a little. Not necesssarily 112 miles. But it is very boring waiting around for your freinds to finish their race and so I will take my bike out. And yes I know that is against the rules. I always wait until the last AG's have finished their swim and are on the bike before I start so I don't get in anyones way. I like to get out and take pictures along the course and actually have a nice video clip of a group of 5 or 6 who looked like they may have been drafting. And it was very hard to draft in Cozumel, the wind was not on the nose enough.
This is the first time I have used someones number (which I only used to keep the officials from harrasing me on the bike) and you can be sure after this much fuss I will not be doing this again.
This is getting better and better.
