August 9, 2015 - MEC Langley Sprint Triathlon
2nd Female Overall, 1st Female 40-49
I'm still not sure what happened in the swim, but another solid race, particularly on the bike and run. The bike and run routes were super hilly, which made for a slow but super fun race. Langely's rural areas are very nice.

July 18, 2015 - VOWSA Kits Challenge
2nd Overall, 1st Female Overall
EPIC WAVES!!!!
Waves came up during the warm up. This added to my nervousness although I LIKE swimming in rough water. They hit us in the face from the start to the 1st buoy, then we swam with them hitting us from the side, first from the left, then from the right after we turned to complete the loop.
Sighting was hard as a result and the waves pushed us towards the beach. We fell into the troughs between swells as we swam. I LOVED it and thought that I was on pace, but the conditions were slow. Still, technically and tactically, I had a great race. Picked up a draft at the 1st buoy and dropped her at the 4th buoy when she got pushed off course by the waves.
Catching my breath after the race:

July 5, 2015 - Subaru Vancouver Sprint Tri
6th Female OA, 1st Female 40-44
Forest fires in the Coast mountains created "perfect" race conditions in the middle of a heat wave in Vancouver by covering up the sun. After several windy days the ocean was pretty calm. A near perfect warm up followed up by a well executed race, resulting in, well, excellent results!
Coming out of the water in 7th (currents took me a little far west):
Finishing the bike (after seeing only Carolyn Hubbard on the bike course, just before the turnaround):
On the run (where I passed Carolyn Hubbard in the finishing shute after hunting her down):

Race conditions were perfect and I followed the race plan for the very hilly route. Finished behind two pros, an Olympian & a varsity runner in the Masters Division. I ran in good company!
The little one ran the kid's mile with her dad :)
