In the next few weeks, when you think you're going nuts, think again, as you won't REALLY go nuts until you get on site in Madison. Enjoy! |

Extreme Veteran 552 Minnetonka, MN | Subject: RE: Welcome to Moo taper time It's nice of you guys to join me. I've been here in Taperville for a while.  Actually, I got some good biking and running in the last few weekends, but the swimming has been behind schedule. I quit hockey completely until after IMOO due to the shoulder, and I am hitting Lake Minnewashta tonight for some OWS stuff. |

Expert 2189 Dodge County, MN (out in the corn) | Subject: RE: Welcome to Moo taper time Taper and the start of school.... Eeek! Can you send out a letter ahead of time warning them? Or would it be better to just let them find out for themselves? And if mine are seeming kind of rowdy, can I get you down here as a special guest speaker? |

Master 2808 , Minnesota | Subject: RE: Welcome to Moo taper time Come on Rodger and Bryan, it's time to get out of your funk. There's less than two weeks to go and you'll be joining the club. Just think, 13 days from now at this very hour (7pm), we'll be midway through a marathon! |

Hell, I'm hoping to be more than midway through it by 7:00. So I guess taper is the period where you can't figure out what the hell your body is going to do. Felt good before yesterdays run after just coming off a rest day. Worst run of the year. Was dreading this evenings run because I was tired, cranky and pissy. Plus I had been on my feet all day and all ready biked and swam. Proceeded to have one of my best runs in the last 6 weeks. Crazy stuff man. |

Master 2808 , Minnesota | Subject: RE: Welcome to Moo taper time I used "midway" to be ambiguous. Could mean anything between mile 1 and 26 depending on how the day treats us. Wait till we get to Madison and you get that wristband put on you. You won't be able to wipe that grin from your face till you cut that baby off. mndiver - 2008-08-25 9:24 PM leapdog - 2008-08-25 7:00 PM Come on Rodger and Bryan, it's time to get out of your funk.

Pro 4541 A farming town in MN | Subject: RE: Welcome to Moo taper time You guys are awful chatty...almost as if you didn't have any training on your calendar or such... So...is there a 'real-time' link where we can punch your race numbers in and see your splits the day of the race?

Master 2808 , Minnesota | Subject: RE: Welcome to Moo taper time Thx for checking in Sal! I get chatty when I'm nervous. I believe there's a link thru the IMWI page. I followed someone thru the IM Canada site on Sunday but am unsure if it was off the main page, or if I was re-directed somewhere else. Check out IMWI homepage on raceday and you should be able to find out how we're all doing. sparco - 2008-08-26 11:07 AM You guys are awful chatty...almost as if you didn't have any training on your calendar or such...

Elite 3687 | Subject: RE: Welcome to Moo taper time You can also go to the Ironman forums on this site. Jeepbleeg stickies a IMWI thread on the top. People usually follow all the events throughout the day and post. I think for IMAZ the thread ended up about 20 pages long. |

| Subject: RE: Welcome to Moo taper time THAT is funny and I remember exactly how you feel. Only thing I would have added would have been something about my legs feeling like the Michelin man's legs look. Edited by JoeR 2008-08-26 4:00 PM |
