The back stretch

[Running Mommy]

FARK! I MUST have my head in the sand??!! I had NO IDEA that you were doing the grande dame of Canada??!!
OY, where have I been??? Oh yeah, at the doctors office.... ALOT!!!

I want to break out in a verse of "O CANADA" right now.. But ummm errr... Don't know the words- if there are any.. heh heh heh

Anyway, that is some SERIOUS climbing girlfriend. You are ready for Richter pass I'd say! SHEESH!!
You are going to ROCK that course. And yeah, taking that week off is prolly just what you needed to get all healed up and everything.
Oh- and one more thing... The week or so before the race, you will feel heavy and sloggish. THAT IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BE FEELING. I know you know that, but I felt the need to SHOUT it too ya!! hee hee

Anyway, don't go losing your mind during this taper now, 'kay??
Oh do I know that feeling... ohh do I... I envy you. I'm ready to start building my mileage again. I'm in a weight loss phase, so only doing short stuff... sigh.. I MISS my 7 hour ride, 2 hour run bricks. Tho I will be seeing them again come the end of the year... Patience I keep telling myself. PATIENCE...
Something us Iron women aren't very good at! lol

What the @#$!! am I doing still up, I need to be sleeping so I can get up at 5:00 AM to go to the pool. Aaaaaaggggghhhhh!!

Edited to add: Thanks for the Reminder RM. I already feel sluggish. I'm sure CC could help you out with the words. Take care, you've been going through a lot.

Bring on the crazy venting YODA...we can take it.... I look forward to tuning in on any and all insanity that it stimulates....

[HappyAnika]

Oh my gosh, is it really August? How did that happen . . .

Hmm, so now you have an audience that's actually looking forward to your insane ranting!

[LBTC]

Oh Hmm, so now you have an audience that's actually looking forward to your insane ranting!

Indeed! Bring it on, Wahine! You've earned it!!

Hugs and butterflies,

[alpinerabbit]

For you Running Mommy - to the best of my memory.


Oh Canada, our home and native land,
True patriot love, in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts, we see thee rise,
The true north strong and free,
So stand on guard, oh Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land,
Glorious and Free,
Oh Canada we stand on guard for thee,
Oh Canada we stand on guard for thee

[kelownagirl]

Wahine - I can't wait to watch you run across the finish line on the 26th. DH and I will be there, we're planning our day around it! So what time frame do you hope to be in bike/run transition?

[Running Mommy]

Thanks KG! I have the melody in my head, now I have words to go with it!!

[crazycanuck]

URGH..i hate the fact that i'm a time zone ahead & won't be able to watch the race(hmmm..perhaps a bit) live on ironmanlive.com I do hope someone can keep us updated though on your race.

I'll be tinking about ya Wahine! Are you going for a top 10 age group spot?

[Running Mommy]

I just realized that IM Louisville is the SAME DAY as canada!
So I wonder if Ironmanlive is only going to be broadcasting one race- and if so- which one??
canada is HUGE, so you would think that would be a given. But "Lou" is the new kid on the block and took some time to fill, so they may want to advertise that.
Plus for some reason I'm thinking that NA sports doesn't "own" the canada race, so I have a sinking feeling that they are going to broadcast Lou and not canada.
I have no facts to base this on, just a feeling.
I'll be PISZED if I can't see Wahine cross the line! uurrggh!!
What race was it last year that they didn't broadcast? It was either canada or Florida if my foggy memory can recall???
I just remember tuning in to see one of the TE'ers and being very disappointed.

[Running Mommy]

Ok, upon further research I see that NA sports DOES own canada, so we may be in luck. Unless of course the IMloive folks don't care to haul their cameras over the border...
Oh- wait! They ARE from canada! When I ordered my customized super special finishers video from them they were in canada..
Ok, my mind is at ease, I think we are going to be safe!
Wheewww!!

WTC owns "Lou"... Hmmm I wonder who controls the Ironmanlive feeds? WTC or NA sports??

[Veronica]

Thanks for the pics! I'm glad that tank worked for ya. It just seemed... appropriate.

That place looks beautiful. Which tri was that?
