left.right.repeat - 2010-11-08 9:42 PM One more thing -I can't believe I didn't put this in my report.........so I finish and talk to Deb and Taylour for a couple of minutes and then this nice lady walks up and says Bryan I am Amy.... I am about delirious at that moment and it takes me a bit to realize it is IRONAMY - OUR IRON AMY. She was at the finish line and had yelled at me on the run course. Honestly I had no idea who you were on the run - I am so sorry. Thanks for finding me so we could meet. How long did you have to wait in line to sign up?


Ummmm....I think I liked hot chick much better!! What's wrong with being a hot chick??  LOL
I didn't have to wait long in line to sign up.  My brother didn't get to make the trip to FL with me.  His wife's grandma died.  So I talked one of my besties into going with me.  We cheered my friend Phil on...well we also cheered lots of people on...even Bryan but he didn't even know who I was!! LOL  Anyway we had a great time!!  We couldn't tear ourselves away from the beach the next day...so we stayed a long time..then drove home...all night...we each got approx 1 hr of sleep and went to school...ahhhhh...now that was interesting!!  But we made it through the day!  I had a great time volunteering!  And.....my friend was even inspired and she is now signed up to run the mini in May...let's see if she still loves me after she starts training!!  LOL

It is Remembrance Day here in Canada - November 11th. In some parts of the country (like here in New Brunswick where I live) it is a statutory holiday but not in all provinces. My family and I will be heading downtown to the cenotaph for the service. For the past ten days we have been wearing red poppies as an outward sign of remembrance.

Encourage you to have a look at this video. The singer/songwriter is a chap I've gotten to know - he is one of the members of the Blind Guys Tri Team!

Hey all!
Day before race.  Got up early and went for a swim.  Decided the booties were good with the 62 degree water.  Swim gloves and hood would be good.  They were all out of gloves and the hood I got was too small.  Modified it and hopefully will work.  Road this morning, cold and windy.  21mph heading out and 15 coming back.  About to go drop off the bikes.  We ended up renting a beautiful place with a great view.

Hey all!
Finished my portions today.  The swim was cold, choppy and no incoming tide for those doing the full.  Half group started 1.5 hrs later and got the full benefit.  We ended up swimming against the tide.  I swam around a 1:32 which is fine for me.  But was freezing and it killed my bike time.  RR in a couple of days, heading home tomorrow.

Diane - good luck on your ride!

Hey all!
Home, safe and sound.  Tired and sore.  Happy about finishing, my ego always pushes me a little when I don't place well but my goal was to finish and I did.  Mission accomplished!  On a training break until December where I will start training for NOLA 70.3.

Billy - great trip, you are a fantastic person and I hope you got home safe and sound (well I am not sure you were sound before hand so just go with it :>

Diane - how was the 200 mile ride?

Thanks for the support folks, was cool to see.

Hey all!
Just swinging by.  Neck is healing fine.  RR should be up soon but want to get a few pics that Billy took.  I think my "Swim" outfit (specifically my head gear) will be good for a few laughs.

Mav - Go Mav, Go!!  Make us proud.

Hey all!

RR is up: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=234075 for BT but considering the length the Runnersworld format is a little better at: http://www.runnersworld.com/community/forums/training/triathlons/b2b-im-relay-swimbike

Mav, you are so ready.  Nail that course!

Hope you've had a great week Mav.

In your honour Old Glory will once again over Chateau FBP, albeit on a temporary flagpole since I've not been able to sort out my storm-damaged one. I have no doubt that sometime late Sunday evening you will be hearing that famous phrase, "Marianne, YOU ARE AN IRONMAN".

Go Mav Go !!

Mav, I will be out of the country this weekend but will be thinking about you and your quest.  I wish you the best of luck and enjoy the finishing shoot, (slow down and enjoy).

Taking my wife on a cruise, but I will be in Cozumel on Thursday, right before Ironman Cozumel, cool.

Billy, have a great trip!

Hmmm, Redman Full is only 10 hrs from my house, 3 hrs from my inlaws.  Wetsuit legal, seems to be somewhat flat.  In September, will be hot but I can train for that.......Just need to talk the DW into it.  Anyone do Redman before?

 Amy...no worries , the race is Sun!!!!

Tonight was FANTASTIC. I had kind of a rough day with bike technical difficulties...I wont bore you with the details but I had a major melt down. This evening I went to the athletes dinner with some friends. Got a txt from Bryan to go to the welcome sign ...and there he was!!! I was SO suprised. This is going to make my day so special. I am so thankful to have such wonderful BT friends. I will carry all of your spirits with me on race day. Thanks for being there!!!!

Bryan...I just dont know what to say!!!!

Marianne, SO excited for you! So proud of you and can't wait to follow your awesome journey on Sunday!!!!! I'll be glued to my computer!
You don't have the tracker that Billy had, do you? Just regular ironman.com tracking? Just making sure

SUCH a nice surprise, Bryan! wow! Nicely done.

As for me.... i had a wisdom tooth extracted a week ago, and i'm still in pain! SEVEN freaking days, and I'm still taking Vicodin and Ibuprofen. Unbelievable.. getting better, but so slow. Lost a whole week-workouts, yard work, just being functional. Can't wait to get back to normal.

Mav- get off BT and go hydrate before your swim. I have been her 18 hours and am dehydrated from doing nothing. Gotta love the desert...
