I got this nice email today from one of my best tri buddies.

What a great swim race. Well done.

Thanks, best tri buddy, it WAS awesome.  I forgot about the 5 min head start that the boys got – so I thought my time was 1:10.  When I saw it was 1:05 (later in the afternoon when I checked the results online) I was really excited.  Were you there for the awards?  I was wondering if I got a ribbon.  I would be proud of that ribbon.  It’s 8 min faster then the last time I swam the Canada Day swim.  Woo hoo!
