Today is Denise's Ironman! Just wanted to send her wishes and good karma. I will be wearing your lovely BE IRON bracelet today. Please, once the lactic acid dissipates, give us all a race report.

I've worn my Be Iron bracelet since the day I got it. Yesterday, people in my bike group were asking about it, so now they are all sending positive energy to Denise, too! I wonder if she has one, or more, and what they say.

Nothing on the Ironmam Live site yet. I wish I had known you could sign up to track your athlete by cell phone, for free. (Registration is closed for that now.)

I have a friend from Flordia there, too. Her name is Sue and she is number 2244. Denise is 794. Two other friends of mine dropped out. :-(

I'm glad we have an IM race here, Ironman Panama City. It is _so_ cool to spectate, and so emotional. I wish I could be there, though, to see Denise and Sue in person.

If this doesn't work, go to the Ironman Live site

http://www.ironmanlive.com/events/ironman/arizona

and on the left there is a column with Ford Ironman Course Explorer listed at the top. It's Paula Newby Frasier and Heather Fuhr. You get to see exactly where Denise will be racing.

Thanks, Nanci, for posting those links! Fun to see part of the course. Denise should be out of the water soon....sending energetic best wishes! Lise

Live coverage starts at 6AM her time, 8AM your time, 9AM my time. Is that right??? I get all confused because they aren't on DST. I think that's right, she's on MST, which is two hours behind EST, but we sprang forward, so now it's a three hour difference.

Did you watch all the athlete interviews? It was so cool, at IM Florida (or I guess they call it IM Panama City) there was this forum with three pros, about what they ate, their transitions, race strategies- it was so cool. And I got to see Natasha Badman win at the Florida Half IM last spring- that was so exciting!

Aaaahhhh, that explains it. It won't start for 45 min, when I'll be helping a friend move. I'll tune in when I get home. I get confused about the times, but your read of it is correct (I think--but look who you're asking!).

I am looking forward to reading/watching the athlete interviews. I find their stragtegies fascinating.

There's an ironman race in Panama City? When? Where? Could you give me some details, Nanci? I'm over near Pensacola and would love to come over to watch the Panama City ironman race!

**Nanci** · 04-09-2006, 07:24 AM

http://www.ironmanflorida.com/ It's November 4th this year. BF will want to compete if he can get a slot.

Ah ha! You are also very close to the Florida West Brevet Series, in Bonifay!

**ladyfish** · 04-09-2006, 08:10 AM

Any updates any one? I was joking the other day when I said we'd crash the server trying to watch. I can't get Ironmanlive.com to come up. Well, got the front page, but trying to go to the AZ page, nothing.

Anyone have any info?

GO DENISE!!!

**tattiefritter** · 04-09-2006, 08:13 AM

I'm struggling to get on to the Arizona page as well, maybe its swamped.

**Nanci** · 04-09-2006, 08:24 AM

They took a 20 minute break, but are up now. I have it running on BF's computer- I don't want to lose the connection! Hope you guys are running Firefox, so you can do more than one thing at once and not lose the site!

**Nanci** · 04-09-2006, 08:41 AM

Too bad Track An Athlete isn't working yet. She could be coming out of the water at any time, but how would we know???

I have to go to Hope Depot, but can't leave until I know she's safely on the bike!

Go Denise!!!

**ladyfish** · 04-09-2006, 08:55 AM

I've got the live video, but the sound doesn't work--am I missing anything???

**Lise** · 04-09-2006, 09:07 AM

Isn't Denise's number 794? When I put that into "Track Athlete", it comes up as somebody else. Has anyone else tried it?
