So how are all of our Sunday racers feeling today? Getting all the soreness out? Finally got on the bike last night. The Adamo saddle feels better and better each time I get on it.

...what sort of costume???  Obviously it needs to be something minimal, and it's no secret that I love spandex.  Some of our first ideas (I have a friend running with me) were ballerinas or fairys.

Nicole83 - 2009-04-29 7:38 AM Eric, Justin, are you guys all right over there in Houston?

The local news here is showing constant footage of all the flooding yesterday.  It's a damn good thing you're both great swimmers as you might need it to get out of your house and down the street.

Update and let us know you're ok.

KelliD - 2009-04-28 9:49 AM I almost forgot!  Yesterday I entered the lottery for the NYC Marathon!!  There are also a couple slots given to each local running club, so if I don't get in via lottery, there's a good chance I'll get in through my club.  At first I was on the fence about the marathon this year bc it's the day after Halloween.  AND, Halloween is on a Saturday this year, and likely the next time it's on a Saturday I won't be able to enjoy the reckless fun I can at this point in life.  Then I came to my senses, realized I'd regret this decision later AND came up with a better plan....run the marathon in costume!!!!!!!!  Now the big question is....what sort of costume???  Obviously it needs to be something minimal, and it's no secret that I love spandex.  Some of our first ideas (I have a friend running with me) were ballerinas or fairys.

evondo - 2009-04-29 8:49 AM I'm good thanks for asking I probably could have done an OWS yesterday to get into work but no damage to report.  Here's a pic of my friends truck which is very high off the ground, notice the cars in the background underwater...

KelliD - 2009-04-29 8:27 AM FYI.....tonight is Baskin Robbin's 31 cent scoop night!!!  Go get yourselves some ice cream!

Tri_n_2_b_fast - 2009-04-29 3:00 PM How do you post pics on this thread, that are not published on the web?  I have a couple race pics of the swim conditions I wanted to share, but they will not post from picasaweb...  I have them saved in a personal photo folder but can't seem to publish them here.  I am not that computer illiterate... I should have paid more attention during html writing time in school...

Tri_n_2_b_fast - 2009-04-29 4:18 PM Some pics of the swim in Corpus Christi.  When you are swimming, the waves and rollers look so much bigger at eye level!  Sighting was very tough!  And only 3 kayaks in support of the course.  With several "groups" of swimmers swimming off course.

WOW!!  That just looks scary!  I did one ocean swim last summer, and still on the fence whether I'm ready for another one or not.  How many mouth/face-fuls of water did you get?

Tri_n_2_b_fast - 2009-04-29 3:35 PM I don't need to salt any food for a week!   Several... every time I tried to breath I got a healthy taste!  I figured out how to breath on top of the rollers, but I found my self smacking the water coming down... I hope IMFL is a little easier than this was... but if not, at least I know I can get through it!  I don't have to like it, I just have to do it!

Betsy0706 - 2009-04-29 4:22 PM Damn impressive swim man! I'll do that race with you next year, I've always wanted to do one with a rough swim
