    You crazy, crazy tri girl Two races in two days with that kind of average. Man, you kicked some booty. With those results you'll do great with you're 1/2 IM. Good luck!

    DANG! You are hardcore lady!

    Here we are just proud of finishing sprints... or an Oly and you are doing those back to back! Gosh.

    Looks like you had two solid races though. So impressive.

    OK, call me silly... but you are doing Cordelane (? spelling) for the IM? My coworker is doing that one. For some odd reason I thought you were doing an IM later in the season or in Canada. Gosh, I'm a confused gal.

    WOW ! ! ! ! ! I don't even know what to say

    You ladies AMAZE me.

    Great report and it was so fun to read. (I am glad I was reading about it and not living it

    Unbelievably fast swim times for those distances. AND bike AND run AND doing them back to back

    I am in AWE!


    It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination

    What a BIG weekend! Well done on two great performances, especially the Oly after a few setbacks before your start - you obviously have the mental prep side of racing sorted.

    You are such an animal. Yoda rocks!
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    do it

    Wahine-what a cool chick

    You will do well on the 1/2 on the 23rd. Are you aiming for a top spot in your age group?

    V-you can do an enticer tri! Ok, that's the term Tri WA gives them...300m swim, 10km bike ride 3km run..easy peasy!

    YOu could however do the bike leg of an Ironman as part of a team..Easy 180km for ya. (Easy 180km bike leg in Western Australia for our Denise in Dec 08 )

    I am doing Canada on August 26th. The race I have in 2 weeks is HIM.

    CC - I highly doubt I'll medal in my AG. I can go long, but not that fast. The ladies that win in my AG are averaging 7 min miles or less on the run and averages of above 20 mph on the bike. Having said that, if I have a magical day and kill the ride, I have a chance.

    V - You don't even have to train, you're all over it.

    Ladies, thank you very much for all the positive feedback. I tend to hang out with the big kids and sometimes, (though the logical side of my brain knows better), my heart can sink a bit when I'm constantly getting beat by my buddies. So what if my buddies are 6'4" men with no body fat? But at least I can still kill 'em on the swim!!
