Great job, ladies!!!! Although I'm a tad bit envious that you're both getting to do an IM again this year, I sooooo don't miss those long weeks of training. I'm finding it harder and harder to get the motivation to workout 5 days a week now...sad how I've fallen from IM grace...
Keep it up girlies- we're all out here pulling for you!

Wow... the training looks solid Denise! Way to get the miles in, even when you felt tired and drained.
That is so cool that you got a shirt from Ms. Canuck.
Kona? Eh? What are the chances of "winning" the lottery? Are there any qualifiers to win the lottery? I suspect not... as I heard some guy who hadn't even run a 5K won it one year. Although, he was required to finish a HIM by a certain date, I do believe."Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

Yeah the lottery is luck of the draw. And I imagine there are THOUSANDS of us kooks willing to shell out 50 clams just to be in the lottery...
Lets just say the odds are against me. But I have this wierd karma with race lotteries, I tend to get picked. Lets just say I have a perfect record. Now I still don't think I have a hogs chance in heaven to get picked. But if I do, I'll be convicned that pigs really CAN fly...
Sigh... I just wish I had that kind of luck with the lotteries that involve large sums of money....

more IM AZ tng
Denise,
I hear you, another tough week! We are starting to get some nice weather here, I am fearing the heat in Phoenix though!
My tng week (i always start counting from Monday):
MON-easy swim (1200m) and weights
TUE-7 mile run, 1000m swim, 15 min spin bike
WED-1.5 hour bike, 3.5 mile run, 1800m swim
THUR-8.5 mile run
FRI-500m swim and aqua jog (i hurt my hand in a fall and it hurt to swim)
SAT-15 mi run, 3000m swim
SUN- 73 mi bike, 5.5 mi run
Sunday was so hard for me on the bike, my tng partner was hurting and we stopped for him to eat 2 meals! 73 miles felt like all day long, and i am hoping next weekend will be better!
Good luck,
LauraLaura
