Canadian XC National Championships
November 26, 2011 - Vancouver, BC
Masters Division (Female 35-39) - 3rd
I slipped and slid away around the 4 loop, 8 km run course at Jericho Beach on a very cold, very rainy Saturday morning. It was my very first cross country race and I was the only competitor at the start line without spikes on. Cross country running is a lot different than road racing (not a surprise) and a lot of fun.
I think I might try XC racing next season. Could be fun!

Kelowna Apple Triathlon - Olympic Distance National Championships
August 21, 2011
While I didn't achieve the result I wanted, I am satisfied with my race. I am satisfied because I executed it as well or better than my other races this summer, and I was in good position coming off the bike. But I cramped near the end of the bike, again in transition and spasmed on the run. And this made for a VERY painful and slow run. Like 8 minutes off normal pace slow. And 8 minutes was the difference between meeting my goal (Top 20 or better, meaning Top 10) and finishing 57th. (Wow, I didn't like typing that result.)
This is a picture of my swim start. I am out in front on the far right, setting myself up to come out of the water with the leaders.
Still out in front with a few other girls.
Working hard on the bike.
Me struggling on the run. I don't know how Chris managed to make me look like I was moving.

Subaru Sooke Olympic Distance Triathlon
August 7, 2011
3rd Female Overall, 2nd Female 30-39
A great race despite crushing my face on a pontoon during the swim warm up, falling going into T1, fumbling with my bike helmet, and getting stung by a wasp minutes before the bike finish.
