as Homer would say....UMMMMMMMMM  DOHnuts!!!! 

IMCA70.3--Kyla-our Cali girl finished 1st in her AG, with a 4:47, she's going back to Kona!  1:26 on the 1/2mary...dayum!  And Rinny, what can we say, she is amazing, the finish was a 10sec win over the 2nd place female finisher and Mirinda had to run her down and that last mile is over this bridge overpass thing that seriously sucks every ounce of energy out of your already burning quads..1:18 on her half, omg.

I can't wait to do this race again, I loved it.  Hug your loved ones, peeps!  We are lucky to be able to do this stuff!

i didn't realize until l a few weeks ago that you were not going back (when i was looking for some shark info).  guess we've been together long enough that i just assume these things.  ha!

No, no, no! I didn't get 3rd OA - the 13-15 yr old girl who kicked my butt did! I was 7th or something. Almost 5 minutes behind her.

Isn't that awesome?!? (ETA: the kid, I mean!)

Congrats Sam!

Awesome Trainer ride Kyla.  Cant even imagine that time on the trainer.

Bad day here on the bike.  We were doing the Double H which is an 82 miler.  And, 68 miles into the ride, I was up front in my bars against a headwind.  I hit a rock and my front tire was thrown off course and I probably slowed a bit, and David...drafting behind me caught my wheel.

My bike went sideways, and somehow I got my left foot down and caught myself and threw my momentum back across the road and stayed upright.  David, who caught my wheel moving across from left to right was thrown down.  It appears that he was thrown down and hit his head on the pavement and broke his helmet and fractured his pelvis. 

When I got to him, he was out, but came back to us after the paramedics got there.  He suffered a concussion, and kept asking if he hit my wheel...probably a dozen times. 

The ambulance gave him a ride for the last 12 miles.  A pretty scary deal, and really makes you wonder if it is worth it sometimes.

Be careful out there!

TrevorC - 2011-04-02 7:50 PM Nice run Sam- that's quick quick.Barry hope your bud heels up.. I' don't even attempt to ride on others wheels. I'd be in the ditch every ride.Supposed to run a 10k tomorrow, but we have gotten crazy amounts of SNOW all day today. It's April!!!

Riding wheels...we've been doing it together for 10 years, and never an accident.  Typically, I havent' thought twice about being less than a foot from someones wheel.  Nothing has ever .happened, but it only takes a bobble.  I will rethink.

fattyfatfat - 2011-04-02 5:16 PM terrible to hear barry.  hope he recovers quickly.  i see so many people around here not wearing helmets, from kids to dudes trying to look like a pro,  i don't get it.

Wow Great job and Congratulations enjoy the ride

Good morning, all!   Southwest called last night - they cancelled our flights to Las Vegas.  The only one we could re-book on leaves at 11 am.   So.....here I am, 5 am, getting up to go run long in the dark so I can get home to make this flight.

I have truly gone over the crazy edge.
