I didn't know she was racing either. I've been watching live coverage for the last hour or so, and it's making me want to do another one. I think I'm going to try to sign up for the race tomorrow morning....
Go Melisa!!!!!

It's really inspiring. Seeing people finish makes it harder NOT to want to enter. It's just an extra 10 miles out of my way to go sign up on my way to work...

What a speedster!!
I just got back from dinner and checked in and saw that AWESOME finish!! I hope she posts a RR! I have her cell # programmed in my phone so I have half a mind to call her and wish her a congrats... But I don't want to bug her. I wanted to spectate this year too, now I'm bummed!! If I had known she was going to be up there I would have made more of an effort to be there. That race is on my radar, so I wanted to see what the bike course looks like. I know the lake is COLD!!
WAY TO GO MELISA!!!!!!

Thanks! I sent her an e-mail just after she finished... after IMFL I talked to her DH and if I remember correctly she went straight to the tub! Originally Posted by Running Mommy

I read on the website that the bike course is more challenging than people expect... don't know why but I suspect Melisa will let us know Originally Posted by Running Mommy

uhhh yeah.. I dunno.. Lets just say that I have ridden with Melisa before and she is an animal on the bike. Me, not so much!
I know they changed the bike course, and it sounds like they are changing it again. I'll have to wait to see what the profile looks like, maybe 09. I'm already in for IMAZ 08. Also looking to do IM western Australia at the end of 08- but may have to save that for 09 as well. Two IM's in one year is brutal! Tho Melisa did IMFL last november and then just did CDA, so that's pretty impressive!
