Lise's Pleasant Prairie Report (long, of course )

[Lise]

Hey, colby and darby!

Thanks! It is so great to come here and tell the stories with women who really get it. Other people admire, respect, or are just baffled by what we do. I know that you all really know what it feels like! Oh, yes, part of the tears are truly because, "Really? I can stop now? I'm done? Thank God!"

Colby, I just got up from a 2 hr nap, and I hope you've written a race report, too. I'm going to go check.

Darby, sorry I didn't give you the heads up before. It would've been so fun if you had been there. Glad you enjoyed the map. I'm sure I was really much more jiggity-jaggety than that, even! L.

OK, I know I'm late to the kudos and yes, I'm one of those admirers/respecters/baffledites.

Good go, Lise! That tri stuff is HARDCORE!

This from the woman who's going to ride a double century on Saturday? That's hardcore! OK, they're both hardcore. Looking forward to reading your report! Maybe even a pre-report...? Best wishes as you gear up for that big adventure.

Thanks. I probably won't be back online until Sunday evening.

Of course my mind is running through this right now:

oooooooooooh, yes. Quite similar to the pre-tri mental scramble! I'll be thinking of you! You will ROCK!
