laura - sorry for the delay - i'm in a post-IM, post-thanksgiving stupor. :-) replying to your email now!!

hey, laura! congrats on a fantastic finish! april was MISERABLE, i'm so happy for you that you got the chance to do nov's race and that you did so well!

regarding the training... this was my...

hi, all! yep, i did my first arizona ironman on sunday. it was fantastic! here's a link to my race report if you want to read:

couldn't have asked for a better...

in my training, i never do a brick longer than 30 minutes. my coach believes that the purpose of a brick is to get your legs used to the motion of running after being on the bike only - so i usually...

i think the pockets are angled sideways so that when you're in aero position on your bike, things don't fall out.

i use a race belt in all multisport races. put it on in t1 and you don't have to...

i don't post that often, but i couldn't pass up this one! :-)

two so far. imfl in 2006, imcda in 2007 and i'm getting ready for number three - cda 2008. only eight weeks to go!

in florida, the sun sets around 4:00 the first week of november when imfl is held. almost everyone finishes in the dark - well, except the pros i guess and those really fast people. i finished in...

denise, this is going to be my second go at cda. it is absolutely beautiful, honestly, if you're thinking of a different race, try that one.

that is unless i get a kona spot in the lottery tomorrow. :-)

but, being a volunteer yesterday. honestly, that course scares me. it was brutal out there. i know november weather can be iffy...

denise - the weather was brutal out there. it was a long hard day. you made a wise decision. there's always november ;-)

we saw you getting out of the water, we were in the transition area and...

denise - i was wondering if you were doing imaz again. i've been mia for awhile from team estrogen, but with the race coming up - i thought i'd check for you.

have a fantastic day! i'll be out...

denise - i haven't been around much (you know, life... :-) ) but i read this and i had to respond.

you do NOT need that from your coach. his job is to make you feel good and prepared come...

I haven't been posting much lately, but I saw this and thought I'd chime in...

1) How far out did you start training for your IM?

For my first IM (IMFL) I started training "officially" in...

i signed up too. it was too beautiful to pass up.

ok, girls, i've written a race report. you can find it here: http://mommelisa.blogspot.com.

First of all - thank you so much for watching out for me yesterday. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Tracy sent me a message so I knew you were there with me in spirit and truly -...

hey, roadie gal - i was there too! what number were you? you must have finished right with me, my time on the clock was 2:39, but i think the actual was a few minutes back of that.

denise - i wanted you to know i'll be thinking about you this weekend! i will be down at the race, probably before the swim start and into the bike with my kids, then i'm hoping to come back later...

Denise - I've started swimming with the Camelback Coaching's Master's group. IT IS AWESOME. Totally non-competitive like Cactus' was and Anne, the coach is amazing. Everyone is training for some...

RM - so glad to see you post! Actually, I haven't been around much, so strike that - I'm glad to see your training is going well! LOL!

I'll be down there on April 15th cheering you on!

Denise - are you guys going to stay in a motorhome?? I want to do Wildflower, but I didn't know about the staying situation!

RM - where are you doing the VO2 Testing? I'd love to hear how it goes!! I've been thinking about doing it too, so let me know when you get a chance! Hugs.

Nanci - you know what is funny, I didn't see my name, but I do remember the pigeon! How funny! Thank you!!

It was really nice to meet you - your bf sounded like he did well. I sure could have...
