I'm trying to figure out how you guys actually got any racing done. It sounds like you giggled the whole way.
I'm actually claustrophobic looking at some of those photos. I hate crowds. I can't imagine racing in a crowd. I tip my helmet to yawl (that is the plural yawl).

Loud guffaws, mostly, interspersed with various types of snickering, giggling, downright cackling, and occasional smirking.

Thanks!
PS The size of the crowd made me want to moo. And yes, I realize I opened the door just now to a vast amount of cow wisecracks. They'll serve me right, I'm sure.
PPS I have a feeling that today's weather is similar to Danskin's of last year. I repeat, we lucked out. I actually opened the door just now to go down the street to the mailbox, looked outside, and said, "NO.""My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."

No, please don't. I can't even handle malls during non-holiday periods.

I read somewhere on one of the threads about the woman who turned blue and had to have cpr done and rushed to the hospital during the swim at the Seattle's Danskin Triathlon. I can't find the website that has the information and update on her. Does anyone know where I can find it?
