That's one hell of a race, Jen. I think it's far more impressive that you battled back after the swim and T1 - staying in the game mentally is a LOT harder than executing physically.

Well done on a great race and two new PRs!

I also wanted to say that on your blog you say you are always BOP and dont expect a change. If you try ultrarunning, I expect that WILL change. I went from VERY BOP at running and tris, to often placing and sometimes winning AG at runs of all distances after I spent a year training for my first 100. I mention this as I saw its a goal of yours. All that volume running added a ton of speed and I am still shocked at how well I am doing even at the shorter distances just from running more. It still amazes me as I never thought I had one speed besides, well , plodding along! good for you! and what is the next goal?

My secret theory is that I just haven't been going long enough, that eventually I'll find my distance and kick some ass. My goal is two 100 milers next year and Badwater in 2010 or 2011, whenever I can get in. I'm headed down there in 2 weeks to crew for a runner, my second time doing it. I can't wait! I'll be taking time off from Ironman until I hit that goal.

I love running. Whenever I get to the run on a tri I'm always happy. Even when suffering I'm happy to be running. It makes sense to finally take some time away from the long distance tris and focus on what I love. I'll still do sprints and olys as a way to cross train and maybe the occasional half but otherwise, all running.

Thanks for asking about what I want to do. It is good news to hear I might just get faster after all!

Great job on the race. And how funny...I got out of the swim just behind you and I saw a woman about 3 people ahead of me fall getting out the water. Had to be you I guess :) Congratulations on a great day!

WHOOP, WHOOP!

that's awesome Jen!
