In commemoration of the 100th Danskin Triathlon to be raced in Seattle this year, Helzberg Diamonds has donated a Circle of Diamonds pendant to be awarded to every hundredth woman to cross the finish line in each of this year's race cities. I'm still in shock to think that I was one of the women lucky enough to win a necklace! If you've read my race report below, you'll realize how amazing it was that I hit that lucky number.
If I had made my race start, I wouldn't have won the necklace.
If I hadn't run to transition after the swim, I wouldn't have won the necklace.
If I had been on my old hybrid bicycle, I wouldn't have won the necklace.
If I had made my desired 10min/mile race pace on the run course, I wouldn't have won the necklace.
If I had tried to run up the dam(n) hill, I wouldn't have won the necklace.
If I had beat that last woman to the finish line, I wouldn't have won the necklace.
But all my stars were aligned and I WON THE NECKLACE!

Posted by: Leah on June 14, 2005 8:40 AMYou know, strictly speaking, if you had made your race start and/or made your 10min/mile and/or had run up the damn(n) hill, your stars might have aligned differently and you might have finished 100 people ahead and still won that necklace...
