Even then I was mostly hanging out in the 148 to 152 range. In spite of all this I averaged a 19.4 mph pace.:D :D Well Mimi I guess you weren't that far off.

This is the part that really wows me! (Once I get over the idea of doing two races back to back! :eek: ) Great job. Can't wait to hear how the HIM goes. :)

sooo- can I be you???? You are awesome!!! I only wish I had half the discipline you do- what with all the building, moving, job etc etc etc...The great thing I learn from all you gals on TE is that you have a life and you still manage to do all this great stuff! There is hope:)!!
( maybe I can be you in my next life.. can I? can I? pleeeeeease?????)

Wow indeed! :eek: I need to stop complaining about my sore legs. :o :p :D

I can't wait to watch you do the IM!!!!!

Pika - no you can't be me. I'm still using me. And to be honest, I'm not sure you'd want all my worn out parts by the time I'm done with them. But you don't need to be me, you're great just the way you are!! I know that first hand!!

KG - sick part is, my legs weren't any more sore than they are after any race, in fact I felt good enough to go out for a very light run yesterday and I'll do a transition workout tonight

It's all about having a lot of base to draw from... about 11 years worth in fact.

Thanks again everyone!! I appreciate all your feedback.

LOL, and the amusing part from my point of view is that I was in so much worse shape after 5k than you after back-to-back tri's. I wanna be you when I grow up. Trouble is, I'll 58 in 11 years.... :rolleyes:
