How far from Tempe do you live and do you live out on the bike course?

Very cool Bryan, must be awesome to train everyday on the course and have that type of home court advantage

Oh and in the heat

I just talked to Marcy and she sounds great!  She said that she made it about a mile and that she was last in the water.  She was wheezing really bad and her chest was really tight.  She said that she was starting to get dizzy.  She said that she had planned to keep going until the cutoff, even though she knew that she wouldn't finish the swim, but when she started getting dizzy she let them bring her in.

She was able to get to the swim exit in time to see Steve and tell him quickly what happened.  She said the first couple of hours were rough but now whe is more motivated that ever and plans to kick a$$ the rest of the year.

She saw Steve after the first loop on the bike and said that he looked great.  She said he was pedaling with both legs which was great given his recent ITB problems.  They are headed sown now to try and see him on the third loop and will call me when she does so I can post.

Oops...it must have been my cast that did that!!

Just got back from the bike course (I'm moving photos/disks around for ASI Photo today) and it is really windy out there. There are a fair amount of cones blown over and a lot of folks are sitting up and stretching and just doing some grim-faced grinding on the way out. People look like they're flying coming back, though... lots of smiles for the photographer, who's a bit past the turnaround point. I saw a fair number of ambulances moving up and down Beeline which isn't a good sign either... I hope everyone out there is doing the best they can to take care of themselves with the weather like this.

It seems a bit warmer today than it was last year, too.

If you think it's hot today you should come down in 2-3 months, it will be HOT then

As long as Nov. 23 is a nice 78 degree day I'll be happy

Running when it's 110 degrees does earn you a few stares from passing motorists! Nobody's going to be able to get under 10 hours today. Conditions are too tough.

Probably the same type i get when its 15 below

Maybe half of my prediciton will come true. Erika is looking good, Sergio...not so much
