    I don't know that heads would roll, but I would bet that who-ever sent her the wrong suit (not the one she requested) feels really bad about the mistake.

    Make that really really really bad : It's one thing if the athlete is 24 and scheduled to do many more IM length in a season. But wasn't this to be her first IM at 80?

    OTOH I imagine so many things can occur with an event of that length and difficulty. I imagine it goes with the territory. You train and prepare and snap a shoelace, break a spoke ... stuff happens. She knows that's part of it.

    Spindizzy and all; I want to look that fit NOW at 54. What an inspiration. Now where's I put my excuses?
