Nautica Triathlon 2007

September 16, 2007, one day after the Nike Run we, a team of three girls, had registered for the Nautica Malibu Triathlon as a relay team.
I think I can say we had been the most chaotic and unprepared team of the whole event. After registering on time in March, the entire schedule went out of control.
To make a long story short, I only like to mention that the chaos continued until the day of the race even during the race! I guess the worst part was the fact that we didn't even know whether we got the right chip for the race due to a mix up with another person right before the competition!

Although team "Unprepared" aka "Moondogs" had a couple of issues, I like to say we had lots of fun. It is worth joining one way or the other just because of the beautiful scenery at Zuma Beach in Malibu.

Despite the mess we finished in 14th (2:02 hours) place out of 37 other relay women teams. I personally think this is a very nice result for a very first, completely chaotic triathlon.
Our hopes are up for next year... the goal should be to show up "a bit better prepared"!

Nike Run Remix 2007

It's September again and another Nike Run had been scheduled.
This time we drove down to the Coliseum - a group of four girls - in order to join the fun event.
This year's t-shirt was solid red and way to tight... everybody struggled fitting in it... After doing some alterations we had lots of fun running anyway.
Two days after the event we learnt that something went wrong with the chip time starting mats. No data had been collected. Means there aren't any real results for this year's event...

Gallery Mix One

Over the last months I have received many images of friends and family members. So I thought they should get its own gallery. Since some of them don't fill a gallery on its own, I had the idea to put them together as a mix ~ a gallery mix!
