I finally have medal number three in my hot little hand. Sad thing is, I don't really care about it. Yes, it was hard earned. Yes, it was given to all finishers. Yes, I finished and I deserved it. I spent $14 getting it engraved, but it's sure as heck not my favourite medal.
However, I'm still miss cranky pants about the swim leg and I've made my thoughts known in the official post-event survey. I bet they are ignored and nothing happens as a result. But, at least I got to vent my frustrations at the piss poor planning - and that's what counts.
On a positive note, Sunday was my first race with Drymax socks. They are the shizzle! Normally when I change from my bike shoes to my run shoes my socks are dripping wet. Not anymore, Drymax socks are amazing. I hauled off my bike shoes and the socks were almost bone dry. After finishing, I took off my shoes and again, the socks were dry.
Hells bells, I thought, I wonder what they'll be like when they come out of the washing machine? So, it was off home to wash the socks and guess what? They came out of the machine about 80% dry and were dry on the line in half an hour with a mild breeze. Dude!
Sure, they cost $30 a pair but they are so worth it. NO "under my big toe" blisters on the bike. I have never had running shoe blisters but definitely won't in future, and I must go buy more of these socks. I thought my Thorlos were good, but these creatures are much better.
Go get some today. You'll be glad you did.
