    fishdr- No one else will care!!

    Remember we were trying to think of the name of the white chalky sandy stuff in tortoise urine? Urates.

    In other news, I am BEAT from my ride Saturday. I didn't put it with the July 1 rides, because it deserves its own story.

    MWBR. Coincidentally, that phrase kept running through my head Saturday at odd moments.

    Nanci, looking forward to the ride report when you get it written. I agree it deserves a thread of its own.

    "MWBR" runs through my head all the time.

    I had a pretty quiet call shift, slept all night (except for 2-3 AM, who knows why ). The plan was to run and then take a long ride on the bike to really test out the new saddle and aero bars after I'm done doing rounds at the hosp. this AM.

    Alas, I awoke to a torential downpour, lightning, and thunder. Looks like....swimming at the Y and running on the tread mill instead! I'm hoping to ride my bike out to my sister's (9 mi) for the 4th, but...well...mwbr, weather-wise.

    All I can say is, I know exactly how Denise felt at IM- I got to the first Control at exactly the cutoff time, and raced the clock all day, and got to the last Control, again, at exactly the cutoff- 13.5 hours. I have _never_ been in danger of missing a time cut off before!!!

    Yeah, not as big a deal as IM, but, the 6th ride in a series of 12 to qualify me for the R-12 award next January- if I DQed, that means either find another 200k in July or it's all over. There is only one organized ride in Florida per month...

    I HATE HATE HATE hills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey ladies...

    My workmates & I have recovered from the june 30th blues...Worked until 8pm on friday,ventured home & in bed by 830pm..up at 9am the next day! My weekend was a blob weekend but oh it felt nice! Good thing june 30th (and the week leading up to it) only happens once a year...

    Anywho, would like to ask if i could do a trade with someone...I want to try the cliff blocks/shots/lara bars (whatever is the yummy kind) & would like to know if any of you ladies wouldn't mind. I've no clue what i''d trade or send you but we could work it out...

    Finally getting some rain in perth but nowhere near enough for the farmers...we received 26mm of rain in june & the average is 170mm..!

    Hey, CC, glad to hear you survived 6/30/06. Since I've never been part of the Secret Sister thing, I'd be happy to be an Overt Sister with you, and send you some treats! Clif blocks are firm-jello consistency, Clif Shots are gel (and I'll throw in some Endurance/Accelerade gel that I have at home). I love the Lara bars, and I'll also send you a Maya bar (same company as Lara, but the bars are fruit/nut/chocolate). Let me know if you have flavor preferences. I only ask that you don't send, um....kangaroo poop or something like that in return!

    PM me with your address, and I'll get a box together!
    .......................
    Nanci, so sorry to hear you were racing the clock. That is so stressful. It *is* a big deal--it would've messed up your whole plan if you had come in late. Glad you made it. L.

    Nanci, glad to hear that you made it and won't mess up your plan. What exactly is an R-12 award?
