Ok- so maybe I'm the only "nerd" who is inserting the IV of the interent into my veins right now. On ironmanlive.com they are playing live video feed of the race- for 20 HOURS! This is the most exciting time of the year for me!!! :) I better get a pillow for my bum, and a arsenal of snacks for the day. I'm spending my day off glued to my computer screen!
Ok- gotta get back to the excitement!
Have a great day, ladies!
DAMN! I worked all night, now have vacuumed the apt, am eating my spelt pasta and veggies, and really must sleep. I want to stay up and watch KONA!!! OK. I'll go sleep for a few hours and get up and watch. Thanks for the reminder, Trigirl. I have a sticky note on my computer about it, but did it remind me? Nooo.... The NBC broadcast is 12/9/06, 4-6PM. Did I mention that the new guy has a huge flat screen TV? :D
Get some sleep, Lise- then come back and join me later today. It'll be on ALL day, so even if you come back tonight, you'll still see some great action!!!
It'll be on until about 5 am! Yikes- don't think I'll catch the last place finishers! :p
Now get some sleep!
Cool, I wanted to watch this. :) And, it provides the perfect excuse for me to be watching for my mail carrier. I know he has a package for me, I just know it.
He better have a couple packages coming for you... :D
It is 4:15 and still no sign of my postal carrier. :mad:
5:35, mail arrived with no packages. :( :(
At least the Kona Ironman is on.
I'm watching, I'm watching - now that I'm done with my bike ride.
I'm watching! These guys are AMAZING. Just started the marathon. Incredible how they can run off the bike.
Normann had a 4:18 bike split- that was the time for my first half of the IM bike that I did last month- simply amazing!!!!
And look at them flying on the marathon... that's why they're the pros!
I wonder if we'll see a sub 8 hour race- could be a slight possiblity!
WOW!! :eek:
This is interesting--I'm hearing the music I run to in the background at Kona. Tom Petty, Katrina and the Waves, Three Doors Down.
See, Lise, it means you should do an IM. Don't deny what Hawaii is telling you...
I agree with Tri Girl. Lise, Hawaii is calling you....
Just came back from my pathetic run compared to what I am watching via live feed. They are simply amazing. I cannot take my computer into the shower, oh the delemia.
My friend Gail is holding her own on the bike- check her out in the athlete finder - bib # 708.
But Molly Zhar the overall womens winner at IMLP (in a field w/ no pro women) is KICKING ASZ!!!!! She is such a stud!!
You want some inspiration, check out her splits bib # 1723, and keep in mind that she used to be 70 lbs ovrweight!! And like alot of us she was last picked for teams at school. WOW!! It just goes to show what hard work and dedication will do for you!!!
GO MOLLY!!!! GO GAIL!!!!!!!
OMG, you guys. Those of you who've done an IM have all my respect. I've done 4 Int'l distance tris, and each one feels so long to me. It's one-quarter of the distance. I do not know how you do it. What toughness, mentally and physically.Quote:
