Hi,
The bracelet she's referring to is the one that has your race number on it. Normally they give it to you at rego & you HAVE to wear it when you check your bike in and during the whole event.

I got my flashy bracelet with my flashy number. Weighed in and guess what girls.......
I'm an Athena.
Yup it's true. Dh has started referring to me as Miss Piggy.
Anyway, I just wanted to post really quickly. I'm feeling fabulous. Pleasantly nervous, the kind of nervous that makes you a little higher energy but doesn't keep you from sleeping or make you sick.
Thanks again for being here in cyberspace for me.
My new outfit is a go....Living life like there's no tomorrow.

Yowza, if you're an athena then I am a . . . I'm not sure they even have a category for me!
Anyways, you look great! Love the outfit.

The Athena cut-off is 145. I weighed in at 146 this AM. I've been struggling to try to drop my weight below 140 for months and in the last 2 months I stopped weighing myself and worrying about it. I guess I gained a few lbs back, but I think in the right way.
DH likes to say that I'm just a little dense.Living life like there's no tomorrow.

You look fabulous! Where do I find the weight ratings that show Athena et al. Curious....
Sorry we won't make it. I'm home with the bug DH has had - if I managed to see you in person I wouldn't want you to get the bug....and I doubt I should spend a bunch of time travelling, etc, when I'm low on immunity.....I'm sorry, though. I really do want to meet you in person, but in the middle of your event isn't really an ideal time.
I will be sending super fast and happy butterflies, and watching online, etc. You're going to rock!
Hugs and butterflies,
~T~The butterflies are within you.

YOU are an Athena? NO WAY! You must be tall, because you look thin to me!

No, no, no. It's my butt that's Athena, not yours. Originally Posted by KSH

Thanks for all the well wishes girls. I had a great meal tonight with a bunch of my old tried and true Edmonton friends. Now it's off to bed.
Hasta Luego.Living life like there's no tomorrow.

Well, I have seen TV shows about why people are taller in some countries and not others. It kind of relates to the standard of living, education, etc. The Dutch have seen a huge growth spurt because of their standard of living being so wonderful. Originally Posted by Wahine

Hey Cassie,
Kit and I just wanted to say have fun, we will be thinking of you and take care of yourself. No matter what, we want you back here safe and sound.
Now get out there and tear it up!
