Great job Dan!!!!  4W/KG is really high.  Are you sure you competition is doing better than that?  I find that kind of questionable. 

SSMinnow - 2012-09-08 12:17 PM Where the he$$ are all of you?   I had a chance to meet Christina live and in person!  No, we didn't take a picture, but I'll make sure Paul does when we meet up in the morning.  Both of us are ready to hit it!

Good luck tomorrow Suzy, kick some butt.

First Cross race of the season for me tomorrow, a bit out of shape but it will still be fun.

Just finished my Sunday morning ride, had a really good ride down to Mooloolaba and saw a pod of dolphins as I stopped for a quick coffee!

I got dive bombed by a magpie as I was cooling down, left a dent in my helmet and a scratch on my ear, do you get this sort of thing in the US? It happens every Spring here and lasts for about 8 weeks then they go back to being normal shy birds again. Last year a toddler was blinded in one eye by one!

The website had some pictures of the lake yesterday, looks like it's going to be a beautiful flat calm swim. Have a great day Suzy and Christina!

A very early good Morning with only David online!  Many thunderstorms last night (glad I covered my bike bottle and didn't put in my salt tabs), but the weather looks clear and cool today with modest 10-15mph NNW winds to work with which will affect about 700-900m of the swim and the 16m stick coming back into town (Kim will get this) from the bike.  Went to bed at 8:30, slept until 11:30 and then woke up on the hour until I finally said screw it and got up at 2:20 instead of 3:00.   

I'll do my best to make the SWBKRUN clan proud of me. 

You do that every day Suzy! Go Suzy and Christina! And way to go Linda and the whole FAMILY!

I am leaving now for the 2hr. drive to my race : )

X3 Go, Go, Go! what are the bib numbers?

it doesn't happen enough and thats probably a good thing because it would probably get diluted... but long runs/rides are so much more fun and seemingly easier on Ironman weekend when one or more of us are racing.

Which one doesn't happen very often?

One of us racing an Ironman, or you doing a long ride and run?

good point.  both!  and long is relative to i guess. 

Awesome job on the swim, ladies! Stay strong and keep smiling!!!

What you guys think about TRX?

I'm thinking of buying a system today..... Something different to do for the winter.

Gotta jump into the IM tracking to post a little brag... My 10-year-old superstar daughter just ran her first 10K!! It was a very spur-of-the-moment decision to do a race that her BFF invited us to in June (and I forgot to register, ooops). After yesterday's soccer game, BFF's mom asked if we were running the IronGirl 5K today and I said, "Uhhhhh... can we register day-of?"

Wasn't sure if Shea would be up for it after a hard game and a long first week of school. Asked her and she was totally game, but thought a 5K sounded too easy -- she ran nearly 4.5 miles on the trails on Monday. I told her there was a 10K and she said she wanted to do that. Who am I to say no? So we hosted a BBQ last night and stayed up way too late and I got her up at 5:45am and off we went to register and run.

She tore it up!!! She was pretty grumpy from 1-2 miles and I thought this was a big mistake. But toward the end of 5K she found her mojo and took off and negative split and toward the end end she really cranked it up and averaged abotu 7:35 for the last .5 miles. I was trying to keep up with her, but she smoked me in the finish shoot. Love it!!! She had so much fun! Needless to say, so did I. RR to come very soon!

Meanwhile, back to IM stalking. Go girls!! And Linda, hoping you have had an awesome race too!!!!
