As I suspected, she had more game than me and won fair and square. (Although a girl looking suspiciously like her gave me the forearm shimmy and kneed me in the groin when the ladies in her wave gapped up to my wave.) A full race report will follow after my court appearance on Tuesday morning. Gotta be prepared for the client and all.
I had a nice comfortable swim for a change and a fun bike. But, suffice it to say that by the time of the run, it would have taken my best stuff to even get close, and I did not have my best stuff on the shelf. (Frankly, I'm not fit enough to beat someone like her . . . yet.)
So, watch the blogosphere, and you will soon see Trigreyhound bedecked in maple leaf garb singing "O Canada." Ugly American, I am not. And I pay my bets.

Congrats on finishing! Can't wait to hear how you did and what you endured along the way! (I hear this is really a tough, hilly, hot course!)
Well done!
never underestimate a canadian.
we're just like americans.
only, we were born in canada.
all i was hoping is that you'd have a good swim. a fun bike, that's just the cherry!
well done.
Sounds like it was a great race for you regardless of smackage. Yeah for new wetsuits!!
Go, go Greyhound.
Bugger... I was hoping for a Texas victory on home turf. Congrats on finishing an uber-scary couse again!
I think it's the bacon... Congratulations on a great, close race. Look forward to reading about it!
Oh noes!!!!!!
Great blog.
I did my first 1/2 Iron last weekend in lovely Lubbock. Only my second tri. My cat could have swam faster, my 11 year old ridden faster and I don't even want to talk about the run (or was that a walk, hum) but I finished.
Looking forward to you next post!
toldja ya shoulda stuck with pickin' on huge athena's that can't run.
So you may not have won the smack down, but you did complete what some people say is one of the hardest Half IM's around. Way to go dude!!! You just keep plugging along!!
Dude. Where were You? huh? hiding out in the bushes? Dang. I can't believe we didn't meet.
AGAIN!
don't worry... i've decided that the pirate isn't real. merely a figment of our imagination. no one's ever seen her in real life...
