Pshorty's Group-GO NATHAN!!! (Page 21)

The first time I bought a bike, I was talking to the guy in the store about tris.  He said he did them because he liked beer and donuts.

You know that Lowes or Home Depot commercial, where the guy is showing the kids how he copies keys, then the Dad says, "Do it again!!"  That's kind of why I do it.  I'm addicted to the finish line, no matter how long it takes to get there.

I can't wait to see how ya do, Candace.  The New Orleans 70.3 updated their start list and I finally saw my name.  I instantly had that "ooohhh craaap" feeling come over me, and I've still got over 12 months to go.  GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!

I think beer must be THE prime motivator -- but for me, cookies are a close second. Any kind, any day. (Digression -- Shouldn't we all post our favorite beer in this thread? I think its as worthy as any of my questions about pedals, etc.)

However, to get back to my point . . .  I do think you've got another reason you've got to race -- to turn that sick looking ride of yours loose on the HIM course! Get your rest, and keep your eye on the prize!

GO

CANDACE

GO

That's gonna be a pretty diverse set of clothes to pack.

RUN FAST, NATHAN

heh... this is a lot more fun when it's somebody else about to go 70.3 miles.

I'm still kinda jealous though.  It's always a lot of fun to let the training take over and actually do what you've been busting your own arse to do.

Have a great weekend.  I'll be on a boat in Perdido Bay tomorrow, beer in one hand, fishing pole in the other, thinking about Nathan and Candace as they pull the weight of the group for this weekend.

GO FAST!!  GO SMART!! GO FUN!!

wyndswept - 2008-03-28 12:25 PM Go Nathan! 500 miles in 90 degree F weather??  

Sweet Jesus -- between Nathan's cross-Canada run and Candace's 700.3KM HIM, our group's doing a heck of a lot of mileage -- or kilometerage -- this weekend! I will add to it by walking back and forth to the fridge during the halftime of many NCAA games. I believe that distance is at least 20KM.

Work hard, run run, and don't forget your reward at the finish line! Woo hoo!

Good luck to everyone racing this weekend!

i just signed up for an april multisport challenge with some seriously higher #s than my March ones, so we'll see how that goes :-)

for now I think I'll go have a Magic Hat #9 (my favorite east coast beer, and since I'm here through Monday I've gotta get in as many as possible I guess :-) )

 Happy racing!
