"Full value athletes" as in - we get our race fee's money worth...

LOVE the picture, Alpine! I loved Animal as a kid- still kinda do...

"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...

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. 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

You went UP AND OVER a mtn. and finished in 5:32???? SHEESH!! You are one strong and speedy chickie poo!! You are gonna ROCK Richter pass!!
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!
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...
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!!!
