You SO rock!!!! Terrie looked great~ I am so sorry for bailing on you two... I just couldn't get my act together ... heck, lately I'm lucky if I have a shirt on when I leave the house! UGH!

Great Job though! I will look forward to seeing the times etc.... loved the bike leg! That was really fast; especially since it was wet... was the course pretty flat? I thought it would be fairly flat since you'd have to have a longer course to get to any major hilly stuff but I wasn't sure.

Are there more pics coming???? And, YES, my ears were burning, I was totally thinking of you guys yesterday

Yes, my cuz has it right on.....burning, burning, burning..those ears should have been crispy! But I totally understand the inability to get out the door as I've been getting a bit like that lately.....as I've been reminded and thoroughly spanked in the ocean this past weekend. When asked how "things went" I can only mumble that the swim was sort of like a "controlled drowning!" in the wonderful ocean..... I was doing nothing that even resembed swimming...ekkkkk

Yes, it was a first---and likely a last, as I was rebaptised by fire! The first tri since 2002..and a tough and highly underestimated ocean swim....

had I fully known what i was getting into--I'd have not gone near the surf!

But--heck, were it not for my cuz loaning me a wetsuit, the experience would have been complete..NOTE: The only people being pulled from the water--seriously lacked the rubber floatation device! Make that a note to self!

And once again! It was a wonderful experience, and were it not for my cousin---the infamous "Running Mommy" I'd have not placed a toe in the water! Another adventure on the "tales of the road" experiences we've had!

And on that note--do you know that some people think we are "psycho" to do this for "fun" on any given weekend....;-) Aren't they stupid! tee-hee

Hey there T!!!!

I am so sorry I missed you ladies this weekend!!!! I'm glad you made it through safe and sound though... although I DO hope you have more pictures...

more later... I just got a job and I'm a little in overwhelm... but when I saw your screen name pop up, I had to say HI!!!!

Terrie, welcome to TE! Any cousin of Running Mommy's is a friend of ours. It was fun to see your picture--you two look like family! You have all my respect for that ocean swim. Amazing. Hope to see more of you around here. Take care, Lise

Terrie has been lurking for quite some time!! I kept threatening to "out" her!! tee hee!!!!
Finally she made her presence known!!
The real funny thing is that I would get calls from her and she already KNEW I was sick, or hurt, etc because she had read it on TE. Her take was that if she didn't hear from me in a few days she just did a search on everything I posted on TE!!! LOL!!!!!
Yeah, Terrie hung tough! I knew that if it was that hard for ME then she was probably having a time of it. I think I felt more beat up after that little .25 mi than after 2.4 at IM. It was rough!! I remember yelling for Tony when I was heading to T1 to keep an eye out for Terrie, as I was worried. Neither one of us are ocean swimmers THATS for sure!!!

Ok, so now Terrie needs to get a good bike fit as she's having some neck issues, and then maybe she can join Tracy on the so cal girls rides. I would LOVE to be able to join you!

We were never athletic--either RM or myself...unless you count days on the "Slip and Slide" (For those old enuf to remember that..lol! )

But...going down the road to the NYC Marathon in 2002--helping each other across the line of that finish-- did more than just make us cousins, it truely made us friends and bonded us in life like no other experience.

Each of these crazy and fun tri's or any endeavor--weither we are supporting each other or doing it together, bonds us like only other TE athletes can understand?! It's this weird crazy world of going through physical challenges.....with all it's fun and friendship, that makes us even closer..?!

Now, that I've been officially "welcomed" to the TE board---I feel like I get the fun of "extended family"..WOW! What an honor....

Now...off to find a bike fit---fix the neck---get a "real" bike--- and hit the road again to train for the next one you'all talk me into! ha ha.....

And yes, I've been "lurking" because you women are awesome! but i also feel a bit intimidated being in your company! And in case anyone wonders---I'm so proud of my cuz--that I beam with pride when i talk about all she's accomplished in life------Because as I was reminded this week, "everything in life translates to tri's"....

Thanks for the welcome and group hug!!!!!! xo
