GREAT JOB to Trijimi.com athletes Jodie and Jayne last weekend at the USWTS in Naperville. Both of them set a PR for the sprint distance and made substantial gains in speed, in each sport and a reduction in both age group and overall rankings from last year's race.
Jodie was 242 people closer to winning than last year and Jayne was a whopping 493!
They had a fantastic race and it sounds like a great weekend all together.
Awesome work ladies!

Lake morning
After a tough weekend with my back and the continuing up-down yo-yo of the pain, I decided to get up early and go for a swim. I was up at about 4:20am and stretched a little prior to attempting to put my wetsuit on.
It is hard enough to put on socks by myself let along put that on. I was much to chubby for the full wetsuit so I went with the sleeveless. After a couple minutes, I developed a way to get it on and get it pulled up to where it needed to be.
As always, I woke Trish up to zip it for me. Happy 18th anniversary Trish! First day of summer vacation for you and 18th year of putting up with me!
Thank goodness I couldn't get into the other suit. The water was great and the sleeveless was exactly what I needed. I went the shorter route since this was my first OWS in a long time. the water was clam, just a little breeze and the sun still had not come up.....PERFECT! There is no better way to start the morning; well other than on the starting line of Kona.
I hope to get in a couple more before Thursday.
Have a great morning!
