Waiting, and waiting, and waiting.

Sorry I haven't updated you regarding the race.  I'll start with the bad and end with the good.  I tend to think that it's the best way to do things. 

1. It was the worst organized event I have ever been a part of.  The right hand definitely did NOT know what the left hand was doing.
2. Nothing was computerized.  Not even the registrations to differentiate who did the 5K run and who did the 10K run.
3. We did not have timing chips.  So we have no idea what our official time was in either the swim, run, and both combined.
4. They started giving out awards to the overall winner of the race.  Ummm...duh.  There can't be an overall winner because if you ran a 5K of course you will finish before the person that did the 10K.
5. The 10K wasn't even measured out properly and was short by an entire mile!  Also, what was supposed to be a road race course was changed to cross-country.
6. They did rock, paper, scissors for prizes instead of just picking out bib numbers
7. They still do not have final results! 

Here are my reason why I LOVED the race.

1. The swim!  Even though the directions were horrible and the tide was ultra low, it was so exciting to be a part of.
2. I was the third overall woman out of the water!  At this point things were not screwed up so I really WAS the third woman out.  As you can tell I'm pretty pumped about this.
3. I beat Jake (The Bachelor) in the swim.  Oh, and even though he's supposed to be a douche he was pretty hot.
4. I loved the combination of events and challenging yourself.
5. I came in first in my age group for the 10K run.  However, I think I was the ONLY female in my age group to do the 10K run.  Hahaha!!!!!
6. I can not wait for my first real triathlon.

So, there you have it.  I've been so late in writing this because I had hoped to have some official results.  I don't believe that I will ever see them.  Completely lame seeing I paid $100 for the race and couldn't get any of my money back because it was a charity event.  Sorry homeless children.  If the organizers had their act together I'd be willing to donate my money and time next year.  Just isn't going to happen.
