swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! (Page 194)

velcromom - 2010-06-28 2:44 AM I feel the same as Kyla...didn't hit my goal time, not even close. 12:59.59 didn't happen.  SECONDARY goal time, 13:59.59 obviously also didn't happen. Final goal was to beat my IMWI time and according to my daughter, I did.  By "1 stinkin' minute, Mom".    I also wanted beat Jeff at something, T1 works!  Helps that he felt like crap.

Jeff has reminded me a dozen times that this was my 'B' race, after my 'A' race in Boston.  He advises that I'm not allowed to change designation once training is done for the first one.  AND, I can't whine about it now.

It was awesome seeing Kyla pretty regularly this entire weekend - too bad she doesn't live closer, I could learn much by training with her!!  I am asolutely blown away by her splits - egads, she's been hiding her light under a bushell!  It was a perfectly HORRIBLE swiim -and Kyla breezed right through it.  My daughter called to LAUGH at my splits!

I'll work on my race report too......I have stories and plenty "I'd never to it again this way' to share!  Teaser - I saw 4 penises (peni?) thanks to men who can't lock a porta potty.

Made my day to have hubby out there - even got kisses during the run.  Ref tried to call outside assistance, but let us go!  ROFTFLMAO.

So wonderful  that you all got to see me and hubby (Jeff, 1608) finish, super bummer Kyla'a got buffered.  That was one of the things that kept me going - knowing how many of you were watching.  Should have kept up with miss fish to make it easier!

It was an amazing experience that trancends every thing I've done outside of marriage and makin' babies (and those took longer, anyway.  pain level similar.

Talk to you all soon.  Gonna go to the roll down in the morningand see if 37 ladies don't want their Kona spot!
Maybe rr tomorrow, may be Weds once we hit vacation.  Linda & Jeff, you are an Ironman (or 2, or 3), what will you do?   We're going to Hawaii!

OMG, 4 penises!?! Too funny. None for me. Congratulations, Linda. It was a hard, hard day. And hey, you PR'ed so great for you!!! Congratulations to Jeff also. He is amazing.

I will say that, aside from my tum-tum issues, the swim was the crappiest part of the day. That swim was BRUTAL and I was amongst mostly men and just got clobbered and hammered THE ENTIRE TIME. I never got to just find a spot and swim. Frustrating. But I'm happy I pulled off a good split in spite. My dream of dreams was 1:00, but I'll take the 1:05.

It was more than 3 hours before I could eat anything. Ugh! I had my post-race pizza in a bag and finally ate that around 11pm last night. Made myself drink some chicken broth post-race and had a power-something-or-other drink but really was just trashed. Then up at 4:30 totally starving and unable to sleep.  But I can walk and that's great!!

Post-race I told Dave, "I feel like I ran a marathon. A tough marathon, but really, just a marathon." Still feel like that this morning. I don't have any "special" IM soreness.
