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!

I have a (second) cousin who lives in France now, but grew up in Wisconsin. She's turned into a trail runner, and it sounds like they've got some beautiful courses out there. I was just dreaming about doing races with her...if she still lived here, I know I could talk her into becoming a triathlete. How wonderful that you guys have each other!

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
