SWBKRUN fast, furious, and closed (Page 219)

You're going to do cross?  Very cool.  I think you'll like it.

Anyone here who is looking for a new challange after doing a full IM should check out Savageman! I know Tracy has talked about it as her DOug hasdone it, but go to Youtube and search it (and Westport wall) Also check out savagemantri.com. HOLY H#%!&!!! If you finish and get up the wall you get a brick with your name on it.

This year Dave Scott, 6 time IM Kona Champion, did it and finished 6th OA at 57 years old. However, he did not get a brick as he had to put a foot down on the Wall near the top. I hear the hill Killer Miller is also a b*tch!

The crowds are outstanding. At one point in the videos (#6) at 16:58 one guy (#495) nearly gets driven into the right curb by another climber but escapes. Then due to his compensation he almost hits the opposite curb! Barely moving he turns and continues to drive up the hill but once again come ridiculously close to the right curb. The crowd is going out of its mind! He ultimately makes it. He has ice water in his veins. Apparently he is an F-15 and F-16 test pilot. The videos also show lots of carnage!

This is a challange!!

No racing here.  Last few runs before next weeks marathon.  We have our annual Friends of Jeremy Golf Tournament this weekend.  Lots of friends and family visiting.  Forecast might bring a little rain but other than that is should be a great day.

Good luck racers - Roni, Doug, Dino, Tony...and anyone else who I missed!  I think Julia and Jayne are up too???

Last tri of the season for me is a sprint this Sunday.  It's at a state park, so we're making a camping weekend out of it.  Camping Friday & Saturday nights and then race on Sunday.  The run is supposed to be a trail run, so I'm hoping for my best run yet.

I have some other things on my agenda for this fall:  a 1/2 marathon walk, and a couple 5ks.  I need to keep up my running through the winter months.

Good luck to the other racers.

x2.

My season is just starting so I am training again for several road races this fall and spring!!

I live 90 min. from Deep Creek. This is one of the most challenging rides in the country. Every year a few of our club members do this. Our club Prez, fell while climbing "the wall" this past Sunday during Savageman 70.3, he did make it up though in a training ride. If you make it up during the race, you get a brick with your name on it placed into the street. I will post the video of his fall when I get a chance from my home PC.

AWESOME!!! That's such great news, Linda!

I have my last tri of the season on Saturday, a local Oly. The only hope I have of getting a PR is to go for broke, so that's the plan.

Good luck to all the other racers. Roni, have a great time in Jackson Hole. Grand Teton is my favorite National Park, please take lots of pics!

I'm mulling it over.

I worked with Lowell Ladd, founder of 2lcoaching for over three years.  During that time, I PR'ed every distance I competed in every year AND BQ'ed 3 times.   Kim's cousin used him and BQ'ed as did Chet (used to be part of the MG).   Coaching is his full time job and his only focus is running which is why I moved on when I started doing triathlon.

wait.  what?    all 3 Lindas in the same town!!!???  suzy and julia, too? 

this kind of course does not set up well for little mountain goats, but temperatures in the 50's and 60's seem quite pleasant.  *slap self upside head*  stop thinking about this!  i will read a Curious George story and tape it for you and the kiddos, John.

aiyah.  P cubed.  peer pressure peeps.  kyla please save me from myself.  portland. portland. portland.

Good luck Jayne, Doug and Dino! 

LOL!!!!  probably true though. 

thanks man... lots of awesome stuff going on around here,  very little of which i can hold a candle too.  the usual suspects and some newer peeps banging out some incredible stuff from first tri's to first kids to huge pr's to IM to new jobs!

hope you stick around bro!

seems i'm gonna be a tired pup!!!!

I can't see this picture, but I am going to guess it's an ultrasound, and a big fat CONGRATS is in order.

#4 on the way. Say congrats to J for me!

Wow!  If John, Kim and all three Lindas are all considering racing, this will be an even more awesome thing to spectate!  Way to step up to the plate girls to keep Fatty company!  Is Julia a racer or a spectater with me????

Man...with all that action, I might need to go too.  As a spectator, not a racer!

that's what i'm talking about!!!  and then you can sign up after volunteering!!!!  edit 

and kris can watch... or sign up to0!!!

John:  Will you be there this Nov to volunteer (and help/catch me at the finish -- assuming i make it all 140.6)? 

She likes to watch...

IM someday...but not for a while.  The kids need to either get a lot older or I have to figure out how to make enough money so Kris can be a stay at home mom.

She is just starting to talk about moving up to the oly distance next year.  I can't scare her with the long stuff yet!!

I'm thinking about racing. Yikes!!
