KG-All the training you've done will pay off! Go and swear at the evil hill on your course! :D

EEEEEEEEEeeYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Thank you, CC. We will do our best to kick butt as our mentor did before us.

[dex]

And also have fun (dammit)! :p:D

[Skeezix]

Good luck everyone!

[salsabike]

And also have fun (dammit)! :p:D

Yes. I believe that may be our official motto here: "And also have fun, dammit." :D

Is this Karen's weekend?

I am taking my friend for her first tri on Sunday. I will report back....bet on it!

[Urlea]

Go out there and kick butt those of you racing and those of you training hard for races! :D

I've got another sprint tri tomorrow, first OWS. I'll let you know how it goes!

[teigyr]

My mantra will be "have fun, dammit" :D

That and don't drown. And, er, don't fall off the bike. These are all worthy goals.

Urlea, yay on your OWS!!! I bet you'll like it. It's different, granted, but it will be fun. Can't wait to hear how it goes.

[tjf9]

Good luck, ladies! Kick A**!!!!

[jesvetmed]

Can't wait to hear how everyone else does! GOOD LUCK!

[Wahine]

Yippeeeeeeeeee!!! It's here!! It's here!! I'm so excited for you gals.

Good luck on Sunday to everyone, Danskin Girls, KG... everyone. I can't wait to hear how it goes.:D:D:D

[HillSlugger]

Kelownagirl has her first triathlon on Sunday! (I'm also racing on Sunday)

[Wahine]

Good luck MD!!

Not only does KG have her 1st tri on Sunday, she might have to do the swim without a wetsuit. KG - you'll be fine!!

[salsabike]

Good luck and have fun, y'all!

[NbyNW]

hope everyone has a great racing weekend - can't wait to see your results!

[kelownagirl]

Good luck MD!!

Not only does KG have her 1st tri on Sunday, she might have to do the swim without a wetsuit. KG - you'll be fine!!

Wahoo, I will be fine. I was down at the site watching the try-a-tri people and the Kids of Steel early this morning - what fun! Then I stopped at Gyro beach and swam 500m in my tri suit. I was absolutely fine. I can do it - yahoo!!!!

Did I tell you my mantra? (Feel free to borrow it!)

I am awesome! I can fly!
I am gonna rock this tri!

And when I was swimming today I was chanting (to the beat of my stroke).

"I don't need a wetsuit. I'm not a baby. I am tough. I'm not a baby."

Good luck to everyone who's racing tomorrow! We rock!!!!!!

:D:D

[rocknrollgirl]

No wetsuits for us either. When I took my friend to practice OWS last week, we practiced with and without the wetsuit. I hope the jellies stay home!

The coolest thing by far that I saw today at the Danskin packet pick-up was a deaf-blind athlete, with her interpreter, picking up her race packet.

Second coolest, the Team Survivor folks.

Kind of helps you keep your perspective, these things.

[KnottedYet]

Have fun, all you racer-chickies!!!!!!

[LBTC]

Go, TE Girls, go!!!

My friend who makes the jewelry from recycled bike parts, did the Xterra in Ogden, Utah today! Yahoooooooo!!! I saw on the race results that she finished and I'm amazed that anyone can do a 1.5k swim, 30k mtb ride and 10k trail run in the 4:25 she did it in (let alone the 2:25 the overall mens winner did it in). I bow down before all racers and all triathletes in particular! You rock, every one of you!!!!

Hugs and butterflies,
