Yeah, baby!!! I'm one of those. I didn't get into a hurry on IM day- I got my fill of food, ambiance and course scenery. :p Heck- what am I talking about- I get my fill at every race! I load up on gels, pretzels and post race beer (although I've yet to have a settled enough stomach to handle any- one of the perks of our local races is that one sponsor owns a bar and he provides us with all-you-can-drink suds after the race). :)
Those fast people just don't get to have as much racing fun as we do- they're too busy racing twice as fast as me (and they are working just oh, so hard).


but here's to secretly hoping that in 2 years I can join the speedy club with Wahine, mommelisa, and RNRgirl...

AWESOME!!!

That is the word that comes to mind- nice to see all your hard work pay off- am planning the Aug weekend with DH so we can see you fly by in person:)
Can't imagine you will have no one to talk to in penticton but just in case we will be there to shout at you randomly thru the course:)

Ok so now it looks like the speedy tri chickies here are YOU, Melisa, and RNR girl (the fast and dirty girl)... Am I forgetting anyone??
All I know is I'm at the top of the "chubby and slow" category! :rolleyes:
Or as they call it these days "Full value athletes" as in - we get our race fee's money worth by taking full advantage of the course and all it has to offer... :p
YAY! I can't wait for IMC now!! You are so lucky to even be in the race, that is such a hard one to get into these days.

RM - they took the mountain out this year due to construction so the ride was actually pretty flat. I have yet to download the data from my GPS to see exactly how flat.

As for being a "full value athlete", you are the best, you work harder for longer and that means a lot in my books. I don't think I'd do it if I knew I was going to be out there for 16 to 17 hours!! Good on ya!

Pika - Can't wait!!!
