What a star!!!

Very exciting tracking you, well done!

Great job, Kyla!!!  Had a great time following you today.  Looking forward to your RR!

CONGRATULATIONS, KYLA! YOU KICKED AZZ TODAY! CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR EVERY DETAIL! YOU ARE AN IRONMAN X2!!! WOOHOO!

Thanks for the love, peeps!! I thought of each and every one of you every time I crossed a timing mat... crossing those darned things is one of the best parts of the day.

Bestest part: DONE.

Second bestest part: An amazing woman I met before the race. I'll share her story later. I need to stalk her and see how she finished. She truly inspired me and we promised we'd find each other on FB post-race (she live in Portland).

My body is TOAST. I am crippled, sun-burned, and achy all over. Promise to write more another time. Thanks again, everyone. This group rocks!!!

Congrats Kyla!   You rock!!

Can't wait to hear all the details of your day.

eating pizza in the bathroom is NOT cool.  even the morning after IM. 

just sayin'

AWESOME WEEKEND AROUND HERE!!!!  a first timer, some podiums and an IM pr!   GREAT JOB ALL!!!

agree on the bathroom part, but the pizza and a good beer to wash it down sounds likeacceptable behavior the morning after an IM....

just thinkin' (it is something I might be inclined to do)

I'm guessing there are some sleeping kids in the untold part of this story. 

But it will let me double post! So I got that working for me.

Question for the group; if you plan your long run for late afternoon, how do you plan your eating leading up to the run?  I typically do my workouts first thing in the am, mostly on an empty stomach, and yesterday's 8 mile 3pm run did not go well.  Felt like I was going to vomit from mile 2 on.   

I can always count on Julia to have my back. Thanks, girlfriend!

So I wake up around 2:15, restless. Around 3:30 I'm STARVING but only for salty foods. I had a cup of potato chips from the finish area near my bed. Ate those. I knew there was pizza in the fridge and I was so hungry. But yeah, one kid in bed with me, one sleeping husband, and a very long day for those not competing. So I quietly took my pizza and my iphone into the bathroom, sat on the toilet (CLOSED LID -- I was NOT using the bathroom!!) and ate. And stupidly texted John so he could tease me about it later. What was I thinking?! Ha!!!

Trying to pack up and get outa here. Quick stop to the site to see if I can retrieve special needs bags, maybe check out the finisher's gear, and hit the road. I did score an awesome 2010 Finisher's jacket for 50% off before the race! So cool cuz I didn't buy anything last year so now I have a jacket for that one, at least.

You guys rock!
