SOR - the race within a race.

running2far - 2007-07-18 2:14 PM I just want to make sure Hangloose doesn't pass me No way you catch her before the run....my money is on Whizz. Sorry

CATCH RUNNING2FAR just isn't as catchy as CATCH THE WHIZZZZZ.  Sorry.  Not that I won't be trying to catch you.  Heck, with my swim (compared to most of y'all) I'll be spending the whole race trying to catch anyone who starts with or ahead of me and most of the people in the wave behind me too!  You could do the leg butterfly and still beat my split time.

OMG the pressure is on!

I intend to swim like my wetsuit is on fire and hammer the bike like there's no tomorrow.  I want to hang on for the run... I have the endurance to stick it out for 13.1 miles at a sorta decent pace. My goal will be not get caught til my feet touch the ground.

GAME ON, boys!  

Of course, Dumpster will get to me first.  As it should be.

actually, she only gets 12 minutes on us.  Kind of a neat little challenge.  My money is on Whizzzz, too.  She can swim and bike and 12 minutes is a ton.

However, and I already told her this.....she better be hauling 'cause the trio is coming.

It's a clydesdale conspiracy!  At Florida 70.3, they sent the Athenas and then, 3 minutes later the men 20-24.  Talk about full contact swimming.

My money's on the Whizzzzz

Have fun guys! 

Please allow me to sum, for those first time HIM’ers, that an actual attempt to make up 15 minutes on the bike = CRAZY!!!!

Save it for the run and out run that bum wheel of hers.

That would be why I stated, FIRST time HIM’ers.  But if they want to blow their wad on the bike to catch her and crash on the run, I look forward to that race report.  Besides, there will be plenty of other pace booty out there, so no need to single out Whizzzzz.  Don’t think Chris would appreciate others scoping HIS booty.

Aiming for a 2:48-2:54 ish bike split. Hoping I can hammer out something even faster. With all you whackos chasing me, I'm liable to be in Zone 4 the entire time!

Did a 2:54 last year with a bum knee. Am thinking I should *should* be faster with both lower limbs operational.

And Dumpster knows I've only got eyes for him. The rest of them can chase all they want! I'm going home to Chez Dumpster. That is, if he waits for me at the finish line.

I asked them to start us farther back so I could pass more people on the bike.  They are so good to me.

Hey, it's all fun.  I'm going to have to bend the laws of physics to start behind her, swim slower, bike slower, and then still catch her before the run.  But you gotta have goals, right?

And if you want to talk about pace booty, you ever seen jowisc in tri shorts?  Just sayin'.

I'm telling Jen (s)! Both of them!

No, but by your tone of type, I’m guessing I should.  Now Whizzzzz can tell all three Jen’s.

Ty - have you been able to,  uh, survey the landscape and make a decision on this weekend yet?  Clearance from the tower?  I know how these things depend on timing and can go down to the last minute.  If you don't know by tomorrow call me on Sat if its a go!

Roger Roger.  I’ll let you know if there is clearance Clarance.

Sorry, but there is no way anyone is going to beat me for the claim of SLOWEST swim split this Sunday.  I will be absolutely pathetic out there.
