Great Job Mike!!! 

You executed your race plan perfectly-especially dealing with the heat.  Imagine what you could do on a 70 degree day .

Mike, Looks like you did a great job in all that heat.  I look forward to working upto that level.  Awesome JOB!  Great report.

Shelly, you know you got this.  I'm looking forward to your report.

Ok we have nearly every weekend with a race from our group!    Shells what day is Sugarman?        Also we need someone to race on Aug 1/2,  Sept 22/23  and 29/30  to keep the streak through October

I saw the burn in person. I was like um Mike ouch....    Then like that guy told us about carrying his bike 2 miles to T2  and the Sausage story from last year.    Mike you out to tell that story.  Mostly cause I can't remember it that well, but it was good.

Yup we had a great time in Door.   It was fun to race with a fellow Magical Mys-tri  tripper.   I totally agree with Tom that as many of us as possible out to do Memphis in May.    I will buy the first round!!!

Tom   I missed this post somehow     OMG there was this post on slowtwitch about a guy that cheated at Kona.  Someone there had figured it out and called him out on the forum there.   To his credit the guy admitted it and went through all that he felt after cheating and everything.   maybe I can dig up a link or whatevs to it.   

Sorry to hear someone stole your stuff.     I find that to be a very rare thing.   I've gotten so nonchalant about picking up stuff in transition after the race.    This past weekend raced South Shore sprint with Q and her DH (who took 3rd in my age group BTW  I was 17/45)  and we boozed it up and waited around for the awards.  By the time we were ready to go, there was like 5 bikes left out of 1000,  but I wasn't at all worried that my stuff would be there.   It was.     Just saying that stuff being stolen is a rarity.

So I mentioned this before.   The Holy Grail of Gatorade.    CUCUMBER Gatorade.   Interesting flavor.  VERY HARD to find.   After that one time I had it, I never saw it again until today.     

Was on a long ride with a friend.  I had ONE water bottle and its HOT  it's his route,  I've never been on it before.   He had like 3 bottles.   So after not having much of my bottle  he says  better fill up this is the last place to get water for a while  um ok  filled up the bottle.   Then we ride, and ride and ride and ride.  Almost 25 miles later I'm like  DAMN its getting HOT out here.  Really hot.   And I'm like on E  so just where is the next place we get get water??     "That last stop we made"   WHAT?????   are you kidding?   I could like DIE or something.   So he shared one of his bottles.   Nice.  But didnt last that long.  we turned around and basically I had to go 25 miles with no fuids/hot/sweaty    to say I was thirsty is a big time understatement.  They would have to scrape me off the road if I had to go much farther.  

  So finally  FINALLY we get back to that Gas station.  I'm getting Ice, water, and I'm like Ya  I need a big huge bottle of Gatorade.    So I look and que the music The Holy grail appeared right before my eyes CUCUMBER gatorade!    HA I'm so buying this SOB.   But first FIRST  I'm drinking the entire thing right here  right NOW!    lol   so I did.  but first I show it to my friend.  You gonna try it?    HELL No  that sounds totally gross.    Your loss  and I drink the whole damn thing plus a whole bunch of water.   Then while my stomach  did its best to deal with what seemed like a gallon of this precious weird fluid,  I burped cucumber all the way back to his house. 

    You can just smell it.   Can't you?   

Shelly! Tear it up on Sunday. You are gonna have a blast. Your national cheering squad will be whooping it up for you. 

Dave,  I knew I smelled something. LIMON-PEPINO!

Fellow tour-ists / Vikings:  Check out this race I just found near me. http://www.vikingman.org/

It has something for everyone.  I already have plans that weekend. Maybe next year. Hey, if Memphis dosen't work out....  We can all meet in Idaho and race the Vikingman. Mead and Speed!

Have a great weekend everyone. Git -r-done Shelly!

You need to find some of this rarefied, collectors edition,  super limited  Cucumbery Gatorade Stuff and then chill it to perfection and save it for your personal victory celebration!    That's right flip that Jax switch.   (Oh Jackie!!)       And its not crazy at all.    The feeling you have right now is half of the fun.    It'll all work out.   So awesome your daughter is racing.  

As much fun as we all have with this personally, passing it on to the next generation and mutual support is the best part for me.

Ironman Wisconsin looms for Senorita Quincyfnita and her DH so I hope she does not mind me speaking for her.

Ironman is a tough long road to get prepared for,  and this is the final month of training.   Full of long a$$  3 hour runs and 3,000 + yard swims.  Pile on those 5-6 hour bike rides,  THEN add in taking care of family etc while your DH trains for the SAME race at the same time with the same training needs  and ya not much time for staying awake, let alone blogging, BT or scouring the local haunts looking for cucumber Gatorade.    Hell I bet she has not even watched the latest episode of Breaking Bad or been to Costco.   

So rest assured she'll be along later or sooner,  to share what it's all like.
