Thanks Wahine!
I'm walking around with my timing chip thingie on my ankle. I never got a chance to run with it, so I'm wearing it all day today. I wonder what sort of funny looks I'll get at the grocery store.
When did you decide to do this one? I thought you were under orders to rest? Or was the rest in prep. for it?
I know you'll do great!

Big Racing weekend for TE
To disable ads, please log-in.
So I know that Veronica is doing her HIM this weekend on Saturday. This is a really big race for her and we all need to send out lots of posi vibes.
Have fun V.!!!!
Oh, and while you're at it could you just shift those vibes to me on Sunday? I'm going to try to redeem myself at the Troika HIM in Spokane. Here goes my second attempt at a PR at this distance.
Who else is racing this weekend?Living life like there's no tomorrow.

Good Luck to both of you. I will send you both postive vibes. You guys will both rock it.
Nothing as big as a HIM, but we are doing a 40 mile mt bike race this weekend.
This may sound like a dumb question, but do they have live coverage for your races like at an IM. Can we track your progress online?

I don't think mine has live coverage.

We'll be thinking about you guys, you can be sure of that! Have fun, y'all.

Good luck ladies!
I'll be at the Midsummer Oly tri at Blue Lake on Sunday. 2nd time at this distance, and hopefully I'll be faster than my 3:30+ at Pac Crest!

This is exciting with so many races this w/e. I am currently trying to totally rest my legs. ( i hate the resting part), so I will swim tomorrow and then nothing till Sunday.
I am sure the HIM girls are in some sort of a taper........

This is a very Wahine friendly course with better temps than I had at Pacific Crest. So if all goes as planned, there is no reason for me not to have an excellent race.
Can't wait to hear how you do!!Living life like there's no tomorrow.
