Barb's Race is run on the same course as the Vineman. I hope it's not full yet because I haven't signed up yet.

Congrats Kacie! Glad to hear the Big Easy was good for you! (sorry about our roads, we don't like them either)

Great job! Esp. w/ the bottle hand off. I'm just no that coordinated.
BUt SNAKES?????! I hate snakes!! OY. I would have been freaking out. I'm imagining our big daddy rattlesnakes out here being all over the road and shuttering... ugh
Anyway, great job. Kelly Ripa mentioned on Regis and Kelly that she went for a run with Faith Ford and they "ended up on the course that a marathon was being run on".. I was yelling at the t.v. "it was a half IRONMAN you dolt!".
And they also showed a taped piece of them going into a restaurant, and the run course was in the background. Very cool!
And a big congrats!!

Kacie---
a question that bothers me everyday and I keep forgetting to ask, in prep for my HIM in July...
HOW WHEN WHERE do you get to pee during the race? Or do you just have to hold it all those hours? In the Olympic distance I can hold it the 3 hours I take, but in a HIM?

Thanks for the wetsuit! It really helped me!!!!

I'm so glad it worked out!

The roads on the actual bike course were MUCH better than the roads I was spinning around on the day before! Thanks to your city for literally shutting down major roads to have this race! It was wonderful!

I heard that she ran into the "end of a marathon." Not quite! Those times would be pretty rough for a marathon! Oh, yes, the snakes were pretty funny. They were not any rattlesnakes, thank goodness. I did hear people talking about them while we were passing them!
