Zoomin' in Dallas

The weekend started off a tad bit more swift than expected when I was escorted to my options for a rental car, & this one proved to have the largest trunk. OH yea. This thing has a couple “blowers” (nephew's term) and looked exactly like a few of his favorite toy cars that he zooms around the house...I felt like it was missing some eyes on the windshield though. ;) The correct driving swagger doesn't really mesh with slow driving around a big city & on the brink of getting lost at every turn...hmm....but every time I merged onto the interstate, I did it with confidence & some killer pickup!

Driving around made me smile more than a few times...The stereo was amazing and the car handled really well! One time I came back to my parked car to witness some people drooling over it, looking inside, and one of them sort of jumped back when I unlocked the car and said, “Ooooh girl is this your car?! It's niiiice! Is it so smooth? It looks so good, uh!?” hehehe.

The Dallas Lifetime Fitness Triathlon was a great experience! I am so very thankful for the opportunity to compete and glorify the Lord with all that He has given me!

Shortnsweet: Made progress in all 3 sports. I still have a lot of work to put in, exclamation points, and need to get faster in everything, exclamation points, but definitely encouraged by the progress and excited to keep on chuggin'! A big Thank You!! to all my sponsors (located on the right side of this blog :) - check 'em out!! :) 3^rd pro race: complete! Taking today off and ready to put in some work and race again at Oceanside in 2 weeks!

Details, details...(or not so much, actually...)

Swim: I was in the mix on the swim!

Bike: My average power was a bit better than the last couple races – I'll take the progress, for sure!

Run: Hilly hilly! (and that's coming from an East TN girl...)
And making good progress on the experience side of racing.  Although I have an undergrad major in logistics and transportation, I've definitely had my fair share of fail moments in all the logistics of everything being race-ready the moment the blow horn sounds! ...gettin' better though :)

Post race band was so good! Super fun to zone out, pig out, & chill out as they entertained us.

Next up, and last hurrah for this year: Oceanside, CA on October 20th. Should be another stacked field, especially since it's the finale for the series!

Godspeed!
