SWBKRUN fast, furious, and closed (Page 182)

I don't thinks so...

I love the toes!!!!!

that is crazy.  Please no more earthquake dreams.  Our office building closed like many around here to check for damage.  So I ran home.  Off to pick up the kiddos from camp.

THAT was scary sh*t!  I don't like earthquakes especially ones that shake the walls and rumble.

Dan- Great job on your run! 

Tracy- Love the toes!  Good luck to you and Trevor this weekend!  You guys are going to rock it!

Sam, Linda, and all other DC peeps- I hope everyone is ok after that earthquake. Stay safe.

Me?  12 weeks out, will be doing a 105 mile ride....with my cell phone busy tracking those riding 112 (plus a short warm-up swim and a cool-down marathon).

CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

YOO-HOO!!!!  I think there might be at least a couple of people racing this weekend!!!!  It feels like only yesterday when Tracy and Trevor signed up for IM Canada and now it's upon us.  Tell us your plans kids!  And if others are getting it done, tell us about that too!!!!

VERY EXCITED!

So excited to track Trevor and Tracy this weekend! You both have trained long, smart , and hard. You're going to ROCK Penticton!!!

Linda- Have a great ride this weekend!

Sam- Hot yoga is great, but I like vinyasa/flow/power yoga even better. Depends on the instructor what they call it, but it's very fluid and I find it keeps me from getting bored. Also, the Group Power or Power Pump classes are fantastic for strength training. They usually use hand weights and lots of body weight exercises, and they switch it up enough that you're hitting different muscles and not adapting to the exercises. Plus, it's much more fun than just going to the weight room by yourself.

Anyone Done Cedar point REV3 HIM distance?

I am seriously considering this for next year as my first HIM distance. I will know for sure if I make it through Detroit HM as my first HM... I figure if I can hold it together for that run. Then by next year with more training I can pull off a HIM distance race. I was looking at Steelhead with a friend who has done it a few times. But they seem to cancel the swim often.

Also Cedar Point would be more fun for the other half...

My coach and his wife Bri are expecting their first child. Their coaching company is One Step Beyond Multisport Coaching. The Logo has a guy running and breaking the tape. I had the following clothes made up:

Trevor/Tracy!  Race week is among you!  You have made the journey and your family has made some sacrifices!! Now the day has almost arrived.  The body is ready, your belly is nervous, and your mind is a rock!  Enjoy the week, enjoy your families, and enjoy the destination!!! THE FINISH AT IRONMAN CANADA!!!

Good luck!

Tracy- Keep me in the loop about you are coming through Lake Chelan.  I meet you guys somewhere in town.

YOU GUYS ARE GONNA ROCK!!!!   

kim.  why do you hate the east coast?

Yhea, I have a small outing planned for Sunday.  The weather is forcasted for low 80's in the day and upper 50's at night with zero chance of rain. That is my kind of race!!   Of course  I have my secret time goals which I will gladly share AFTER the race!    I'm not really nervous about the swim.  I'll be glad to get off the bike just because that is where the nerves come about unexpected problems (flats, broken spokes, etc).  Once I am out on the run it will be the true test of my bravery.  As you all know running is my weakest part and the main issue I've been focusing on.  But I will be very relieved once I get to the run.  I know I'll finish at that point and finally get to talk to people!!!!   And in honor of my pink feddish I bought a BRIGHT PINK pair of compression socks just for the occasion.  No worry about spotting me out on that course!!!

just did my last run. Nerves are starting up. But we are here.  Its going to be hot!

Talk about feeling out of shape. Lots of svelt people around.

Off to the beach with the girls

Yay!!!!!!!!!! I LOVED arriving in CDA and feeling like I was with "my people." I think it helped my family realize I wasn't this crazy girl off doing this weird thing all alone... there were plenty of other crazies out there of all shapes and sizes and ages. It's such awesome energy.

Enjoy everything about the weekend Tracy and Trevor!! Words cannot describe what you are in for. Your heart and soul will relish all of the moments! I'm so excited for both of you!! Be smart, be safe, be thankful, be happy, and just be. And as Fatty/Slim always says, SMILE!!!! Oh, and Tracy, you'll find you can have some short chats with people on the bike, too... when people are wearing their names on their numbers it makes them so approachable. I love talking to people out there (well, I just love talking...)!!

Congratulations on making it to this part of the adventure. The best is yet to come!!!

Because SHE knows what she is talking about and I am pretty sure she wouldn't lie to us, YES, YES, YES, the best is yet to come!!!!!

Good luck out there not that either of you will need it, but because I just wish the very best for you, from the very bottom of my heart, KICK AZZ out there!!! 

BIB #790 Checking in!

It can only mean that the old ladies are moving to the front of Transition (or so I hope).  Last year I was good, old #2825!

Oh Kim......how ya feeling about #745?

The ladies in this race are the elites, get pumped up girls!!

very good.

IM FEVER!! This is going to be fun.

Tracy and Trevor: Good luck to both of you this Sunday. You've done the work, now go out there and have your day! You know we'll all be cheering you on every stroke/pedal/step of the way.

Suzy and Kim: You're up next! Woohoo!
