I have to thank La and BJH, who both encouraged me to get out on the bike (train your weekness)... I made remarkable progress here, and I know I can get even better. I love my new bike!
The first 2 women in my age group came in top first and second female overall - this is a tough age group division!
My second run sucked. I could not hold a steady pace. I kept going too fast, then would just stop running. The out portion had the wind on our backs, and it was hot, hot, hot! Thankfully, there were a number of neighbours with their sprinklers out, and would ask each runner if they wanted to be sprinkled. That was great! I would say I ran 3 minutes, walked 30 secs until the final 2K, when I passed a fellow age grouper. I was afraid she would see my age on the back of her leg, and come after me. (She didn't, but I dared not look back!) I also have something wonky happening to the bottom of my foot. My priformis and hamstrings were very, very tight. Need to get that fixed before Aug. 10!
So, clearly, I still need to work on the run portions... especially the second run off the bike. I don't have that rubbery-leg feeling at all off the bike, but I was pushing some sub 5 min K's, then blowing up. Need to slow down to a reasonable pace (for me)...
However, getting a PB feels very good!
bike progress and PB 
Well done!!!
You're such a model for me!!
