Bike it to the MAX in June Ghoulies!!! (Page 41)

iowagander - 2010-06-15 12:28 PM I also just called and switched from the International distance for my race next week to the Sprint. I just have not been able to maintain any kind of consistency, especially with swimming and biking, and I want to be able to enjoy my first race. There will always be time to train longer and harder for bigger races later on.

ironannekidd - 2010-06-15 9:30 AM

Sorry Tom. I know you really wanted to do the International.

Keep on moving. Keep on training. There will be other races!

iowagander - 2010-06-15 11:35 AM

Thanks Ann, but it's the best for now. Like I said, I'd much rather go into a shorter distance at my first race knowing that I can do it. The good news is that this race will still be here next year, and so will I!

We're planning on getting there at about 5:00. And tell them to make as many margaritas as YOU can drink! Daddy = sober cab, since my wife can't drive.

Sounds like a smart move.  Having that confidence will help for sure

mndymond - 2010-06-15 1:05 PM Soooo...yesterday my friend asked me to send him a side profile picture of me...haha

So. the reason is: he and this other guy in my class are doing presentations for high school students in the area based on dietary and lifestyle health. Apparently apart of the presentation is profiles of people based on personal attributes (activity, etc) I was selected as a good silhouette because I am "a physical activity machine" haha. YAY! I'm a PAM...PAM=physical activity machine...haha...

I'm there!  I love Red Lobster (and margaritas)!  I used to eat there like weekly with the last girl I dated.  I haven't been there much since and really miss it.

Happy Birthday to your little one, too!

We used to go there a ton when we lived in Ames too. My son was always trying to sneak one too many biscuits!

ironannekidd - 2010-06-15 11:07 AM


Suuuuuurrrreee, that's why they wanted the pics. It has nothing to do with you being a hot tri chick, does it?

iowagander - 2010-06-15 11:22 AM

So do we get to call you PaMelindy now?

LOVE THE BISCUITS!

kcarroll - 2010-06-15 2:12 PM

Those biscuits are THE BEST.  

Happy Birthday to Little A.  Neal, we have got to find you a new girlfriend.   

iowagander - 2010-06-15 12:05 PM

Thanks Neal. And honestly, even with the shorter distance I'm not sure what to expect. I know my run will be slower than I'm used to, but I don't know by how much. I know getting on the bike after a rough swim will feel weird. I know that the swim itself will be a learning experience, to say the least.

I guess the big thing I'm going for is building experience so I can focus on speed later. If I do well then all the better, but my number 1 goal is to have fun and not look like a complete fool

ironannekidd - 2010-06-15 1:27 PM

PICK ME! PICK ME!!!

disturbed275 - 2010-06-15 3:17 PM

I would Ann, but unfortunately you fail the "not currently married" criteria I've established

disturbed275 - 2010-06-15 3:17 PM

ironannekidd - 2010-06-15 2:19 PM

That is good criteria to have. (cure you marriage license!)

We could still go to Red Lobster and drink margarita's and get biscuits, and maybe even some real food, too.

disturbed275 - 2010-06-15 3:26 PM

Most definitely.  Mmmmmmm.......Cheddar Bay Biscuits!
