IMAZ: Go Denise! Go Laura!

GO DENISE!!! GO LAURA!!!!


Yeah, I'm checking on a number of friends of mine and they're all progressing more slowly than I expected.

According to Wunderground it's supposed to be only 5% humidity in Tempe right now, with 7mph winds from the ENE.

Here I sit in 67% humid Vancouver, BC. Wow.

NOAA observations at Phoenix airport are 16-22 mph winds since 9 a.m.

Running Mommy, thanks for joining us on the cheering section. Can you paint us a verbal picture of what it's like out there? You've been there, what do you think it's like for our gals at this stage?

well I'm at home, but it's howling out there. Basically the wind is dead east, tho I hear from my friend at the race that it keeps changing. The course is an out and back loop that heads east/ north east on the way out, and of course south, south west on the way back.
So the first 18 miles of each loop are brutal. I had a guy fall over into me on the beeline hwy, lucky for me I was going so slow I had time to clip out. My wheel may need a true though..

It's also very hot out there, but the wind doesn't make it feel that hot.
I'll have to look on wunderground and see what the wind is doing. All I know is- it's not fun.
