Pika - no you can't be me. I'm still using me. And to be honest, I'm not sure you'd want all my worn out parts by the time I'm done with them. But you don't need to be me, you're great just the way you are!! I know that first hand!!

KG - sick part is, my legs weren't any more sore than they are after any race, in fact I felt good enough to go out for a very light run yesterday and I'll do a transition workout tonight

It's all about having a lot of base to draw from... about 11 years worth in fact.

Thanks again everyone!! I appreciate all your feedback.
