Kamikaze Geckos (Page 20)

Way to go Geckos!!!!!

I'm back from my race and will post my RR later once I get my official finish time.  I think I can say that I had a good swim, positive I had a good bike split but totally crapped out on the run.  Why?  Simply because of the numerous terrain changes on the course and I'm not talking about hills but more like grass, packed dirt, grass, packed dirt, grass... ooops, a little bit of alsphalt.... grass, more grass, packed dirt... ooops, another bit of alsphalt... more grass and grass to finish.  Out of 6.5 km, only a couple of 150m patches of asphalt.  I am not a trail runner by any means and that's something I should be thinking about doing if I want to race this venue (which is awesome BTW) again next year. 

Sigh...

I had an interesting ride through Chester today.  Rode in neighborhoods I've passed by before, crossed over railroad tracks for the first time.  Climbed some interesting hills...then followed it with the transition run around the block.

WAY TO GO GECKO'S!  Let's keep moving towards the goals!

LET'S GO GE-CKOS, LET'S GO!
CLAP CLAP
LET'S GO GE-CKOS, LET'S GO!
CLAP CLAP

And I promise, I was never a cheerleader...that just popped into my head. 

Morning Gecko's ....had a hot date with Coach Troy this morning....core at lunch break....

You Go Girl!   GREAT JOB!

Nice avatar.  Are you UW grad or somethin'?  Or was that just to make me smile?

That is huge.  Great job.  Way to go.  You rock.  Awesome.  Woohoo. 

I bet people are always vacationing with you.  When I come to Hawaii can I stay at your house?  I promise I will train with you  Some day I will get there.

Have you heard this one:

Rah, rah, rhee, kick 'em in the knee

Rah, rah, rass, kick 'em in the other knee) LOL.

Yipee for us being in 1st place.  That is wwaaaaayyyyy cool. 

Yep.  BS in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry in 2002.  Husband is a UW grad too.  We met while we were working at Frank's Place.

Frank's out on the beltline?  Yummy burgers.  You sound like a smarty marty.  I did not fare too well in Chemistry  I guess I shouldn't have cheated so much in high school.  Maybe you can tell me what stinks so bad in my office.  It smells like stinky feet.  Maybe someone is eating Frito's.  YUCK!

Lo-Daddy - 2008-06-16 11:53 AM The sprint race I did yesterday went well. I was hoping to come in under 1:10:30, but missed by 15 seconds. It was still a course PR for me so all is good. After the race I hung out on the beach with a cold beverage and played in the surf with my two boys. A Father's Day spent racing in the morning, playing with my boys, and enjoying a cold beer....now that is the definition of living the "AMERICAN DREAM"! Train hard. race report: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp... bh

CONGRATS on a great race!   It's painful though to come that close to a time goal and miss it by so little.   I missed  my time goal on a race by 18 seconds once -- about killed me -- That one was a PR as well.

Oh well -- nothing to cry about -- you did it!   How many other people can say that they did that???
