Left.Right.Repeat - CLoSED for the season - will reopen Jan 2013 (Page 39)

I forgot to mention that there was another article written about me and my Ironman experience and this one they wrote about you guys!  The article was written in my sorority's Zeta Tau Alpha quarterly magazine and it mention the Left, Right, Repeat motto and how I had written it on my arm so I would 1) remember what I was suppose to do and 2) remember you guys.

Bib #922 here.  I will also have an athlete tracker, but I won't get the link to the tracking details until right before the race.

Here we go...

11/18 - Ironman Arizona Bib# 2736

Bib # 1109!!!!

So Fit, Marainne and Brianna are racing IMAZ.  I'm sooo excited for you guys!! Will try to track.

LRR and possibly KTC cheering, any one else?? bBe praying for all.  Safety, fun, finish!! 

What is the date of IMAZ?

Here is the link to the magazine article, unfortunately I can't get the link to get right to the page.  So once you get the magazine open I am on page 35.

Yes.. I am famous! LOL!!!!

For those who are coming out to Tempe I will be having a BT get together on Thurs from 4-7pm...just snacks and drinks. I thought it would be fun to get to put names with faces. I will be in Tempe on Monday and will post the details then. The condo I am renting is 2 blocks from transition. It should be fun. Bring your spouses...traveling companions

Geez, I am WAY out of the loop...

Ann - sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy to you and your families.

Phil -awesome run! So can I put my chip on you after I get off the bike?

Amy - awesome race, and Lena-truly a fantastic sherpa report!

Bryan's podium finish should count as at least two finish lines!

IMAZ 2013? -- the 2013 slate is so far completely clean. Unlike last year, when I committed to IMAZ 2012 with the IronHeart team before I had even finished my first, IMFL 2011, I have made no commitments. This year has been a roller coaster as far as training, stupid stunts, and other "impositions" so I have made no decisions so far.

As Briana said, I am "participating" in IMAZ as well (I do NOT compete!) My bib number is 2723. We also got the athlete trackers, so we will be on myathletelive.com on race day... don't worry if you see me stop for a long period of time on the run - I probably dropped some cones out of the wagon and had to pick them up again.

Speaking of the IronHeart team - we have a handful of cardiac survivor athletes doing this race. Not that any of you will be around me on the run, but you may get caught on film in the documentary www.flatlinetofinishline.com when you pass me on the bike; so don't be surprised if somebody asks you to sign a permission form  

 Oh, yeah - the kidney stone... surgery prevented me from participating in one scheduled century ride, but I have managed to get back on the bike. With the running I still feel some impact on the knee from the bike wreck and the lower back from the surgery, but a walk/run is still manageable.

Patrick...thats some very interesting video...congrats!!!! I look forward to meeting you at IMAZ...perhaps we will be gathering cones together!!!!

If any of you are inclined to pray for Mav, Triplebypat and myself (and any other BTers you know racing) on race day (November 18), I've set up a signup sheet so that we are covered in prayers the entire day.  Mav's name isn't on the actual sign up, but please include her as well. Go to:  www.mysignup.com/imazprayers to sign up.  Thanks.

We have excitement in the air as we have another IM race coming up.  Oh I can feel it!

It doesn't look like I will make it out to AZ this year, don't suppose you guys can sign me up while you are out there can you?  We might be heading to Missouri soon as the hubby's father is not doing well.  I will still try thought.

We are officially moved into our new house, after a week and 3 scheduled internet installation appointments....we still have no internet.  Each day I have been hiding out at Panera's using their internet.  I haven't worked out in over 2 weeks and I feel it.  Can't wait to start working out again.

Very nice article Marv!

YEs you can give me your chip anytime.

Dang surgery this close to IMAZ. Good luck!!!!!!

Well I did it, volunteered on saturday catching people at IMFL.  It was amazing.  Had a lot of sweat on me at the end of my shift but so much richer from talking to these folks crossing the finish line.  Also got some great pictures of the start from the 21st story (my kids did not wake up on time) and a few pix of pros at the finish..  I'll try to figure out how to post them here

And then on Sunday I signed up after standing in the volunteer line for a few hours.  The race sold out online in 1 minute!

Hope you guys rock IMAZ this weekend.  I will be following along online!
