Congrats Lise!!!

I got a call on the cell this morning during my long ride. I stopped to listen to the message and it was ms. Lise telling me that she had completed her half mary!! She sounded chipper, so I'm guessing it went well.
I can't wait to hear ALLL about it!!!!
Oh and Lise FWIW, I used to say the same thing to my Ironman friends.... " I can barely run a marathon! How can you swim 2.4, ride 112, and THEN run a marathon??!!!"
It confounded me until I did it. I think there is a real difference between a stand alone 'thon and an IM 'thon. And the weird thing is I think it's mental. In a stand alone you are pushing yourself to do your best and keep up with "that girl in pink" etc. But in an IM 'thon by the time you get to it your like "oh fluck it! I'll just do what I can to cover the miles"... :D
So you take alot of pressure off yourself. Or at least *I* did. And of course I'm not gunning for a Kona slot either. I know it's a far different story at the FRONT of the pack!! :p
Anyhoo... I hope you had some PROTEIN with that french toast!! :D
Ice up and recover well.
Ciao bella!
Denise
P.S. Thanks for the call. I love hearing from you! :)

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!! :D It means so much to me that Denise/RM sent me her cell # and said, "Call me after your tri!" last month. So now you can just about count on a call after every race, sister! I'm off to write the race report. I love you TE gals. :D

[Running Mommy]

Now I have YOUR number so I can call you after my race in a couple of weeks!
Heck the way my running has been going I may need to call you after my training runs just so you can assure me that I really *don't* suck as much as I think I do!!!
OY!!!!
Denise (take out the *I* and I'm just DENSE) :)
