Go Colby! You are an Iron Chick!
Go Susan! You have worked so hard for this HIM. You are going to rock!
Anyone else racing this weekend?
I'm doing a sprint tri on Sunday. It's the same course as the other sprints I've done. Although the swim may be longer than in those. It will be the first time I've taken the Cervelo on that course and I'm hoping to see some improvement in the bike time.

Yes! It is a huge weekend! I am thinking really good thoughts for everyone!!
I am doing a 5k open water swim sunday. It was a huge challenge last year, so I decided to give it a shot again this year. My overall fitness it much higher, but I am worried about the....well, length of the swim! It is not a very well marked course either, so you end up swimming farther than just 5K (at least I did last year!).
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!
I am doing a mt bike race on Sunday.
Good Luck to all of you. I look forward to your race reports!!!!!
Good luck everyone racing this weekend!
If you hit a low point in your races, listen really closely and you can hear us all rooting for you!
Wow, it looks like there are a TON of races this weekend of all shapes and sizes!
Regarding the 5k swim - a local swim team is putting on an open water swim sometime this summer, with varying distances. Something like 1k, 3k, 5k, and 10k! Holy crap, a 10k swim!! :eek: 5k sounds doable (albeit a little crazy). ;)
Good luck to everyone who is racing this weekend. Time to be awesome!! :D
Swim with guts, bike with courage, run with heart, finish with a smile? :)
Good luck and good weather to my teammate and anyone else doing the IM Coeur D'Alene.
Yes, lots of luck to Colby and Susan.
I'm doing a sprint on Sunday also, the same course as the two Irongirls I've done, but this one is coed. I've been sick all week, so it should be interesting.
MDHillSlug is doing the bike leg of a relay in the same sprint.
Wow, good luck to all of you racers this weekend! There should be lots of good reading on TE next week with all the race reports.
Me? I'm planting potatoes, harvesting peas and thinning carrots. No racing for me! :D
I'm doing the same tri as divingbiker, but as part of a relay team; I'm the biker.
I forgot the new sprint tri was this weekend--good luck to both of you, and to everyone else racing this weekend!
I'm wishing now I had signed up for the Celebration sprint. I didn't want to mess with the possibility of needing/wanting a wetsuit, but that's clearly not going to be an issue now. And I'm feeling ready--the last couple of weeks of training have gone well and now I just want to get on with racing. I was planning to get out to the course and do a bike/run brick tomorrow--I guess I'll try to get that out of the way before people show up to rack their bikes.

Lordy. On top of being sick this week, I just got stung by a bee on the bottom of my big toe. The universe does not want me doing this tri on Sunday.:mad::eek:
DH is riding Blood, Sweat and Gears this weekend. I'm not (long story), but I'll be finding a lovely place to ride my bike nevertheless. We called a friend to let her know we were in town and she invited us to stay with her, so we're staying with her tomorrow night (we were already checked into a hotel tonight). Glad we're not subjecting her to the 5:00 wake up call we're getting!
Big race weekend- I hope everyone has good ones.
BIL and an aquaintance are doing doing Coeur D'Alene this weekend - always exciting to follow.
Thanks for all the well wishes. I survived. I'm totally cooked. Details to follow....
Can't wait to hear Susan!
I will post about my race a little later too! Great improvement from last year!
Does anyone know Colby's number??? I just got home, and I would love to see where she is in the race right now!
