You gals are the greatest! I just love this website !!

Well TriGirl, I am hoping to get my hands on some pictures in the next week. When you say you did Nike San Francisco . . are you talking about the Nike Women's marathon? I did that marathon in 2005 and 2006. It was my first full marathon in 05. Talk about a "girl's weekend!" I know what you mean about taking a break with TNT due to the fundraising. I've fundraised 5 times since 2004 and I am DONE (so are my family and friends by the way!!)

And Bikergal/Shelly, I remember seeing your Shark fins! Do you know where the tomato people were from? There sure were a lot of people on the course with tomatos on their helmets!

Dear Celeste/Joyce, You are an inspiration to me going out there as a leukemia survivor. GOOD Job! I didn't much like the hill at Emerald Bay either but what are you going to do? Better early in the ride then when your leggs are really "cooked!" I also remember those Texas spurs . . GO TEAM !!

Although I've considered myself a runner I'm now a "cycling convert" . . it is so much easier on my aging joints !! I could actually walk after the ride !! (although sitting was a bit more difficult-ha ha) My running friends still say that the bike does all the work for you . . I've invited them to ride with me !!!!!

happy riding!
Susan
