Wahine at IM Canada - Race Feed

[Wahine]

we did get some good shots of the mass start- ohh looked really scarey, and then at the 4km mark at the bike- unfortunately we missed you there and then at yellow lake- again you were too fast for us ( mighta been that we really should have just gone for 1 wine tour instead of 2- but I know you won't hold that against us- besides we did discover the most amazing wine- has some sage in it!!! and a dessert wine with chili peppers - YOWZA!!!-- oops drifting here--- anyway we did finally get YOU on camera at the 4km to finish mark ( husky station) and along the boulevard at the finish- evidence of your speed- passing passing passing- AMAZING!!! You ROCKED!!!
Will let you know asap when edited

I can't wait to see the vid to see if I was actually holding form or just hallucinating. As for the wine...you went to Silver Sage didn't you!! That's the hardest part about doing IMC, you're in the middle of wine country and you can't taste a drop. That's OK, I'm making up for it tonight.

Oh, and that bloke who won? From the bestest little country in the world.

1st place- you're INCREDIBLE!!!!! Congrats on such a fantastic day- even through all the struggles you still pulled out your A game and dug deep. That's what Ironman is all about!!!

[KnottedYet]

Whoooooo-hoooooooo-eeeeeeeeeee!

First Place! You stud-muffin!

Wahine - fantastic job! Thanks so much for the inspiration and sharing your training and complete journey with us regular folk

AMAZING!!

[Running Mommy]

WOW! Simply amazing!!
And as a fellow Athena- DAMN GIRL!!! You smoked that course! Tho looking at the pics I have to say that your prolly an athena cause your tall?? You certainly aren't even CLOSE to being as much of an athena as I am...

So tell us, how badly did you smoke the 2nd place athena??

And to think my goal is to come anywhere in the 15 hour range... OY! I have a long way to go!! sigh....

It sounds like you have a great coach too. They are hard to find! I'd say he's a keeper.

And one last thought. Your DH ROCKS!!! I LOVED reading his reports thru the day. I could feel how proud he was of you, and his love for you. And I could also feel the excitement of the race in his written words. Not easy to do.

Ahhhhh.... Now it's recovery time. Keep that protein up. You have compromised your immune system. It's time to get all healed up.
And enjoy sleeping in.

Soo did you sign up for next year???

Silver Sage it was...hopefully your DH picked up some wine for you to sample post IM.
my DH has cables for camera at work so will take longer to edit- hopefully in the next day or two- really needed someone like LBTC to be there to get the great shots.
