OK.  Now I'm, pi$$ed   - Correction, committed to 5:45...  thanks for the motivation.

(I'm assuming that nobody takes any of my posts even remotely seriously)

Excuse me. I'd just like to make a little announcement. It seems as if the smack talking has been relegated to the elites among us who hope to turn in times in the sub 5 and sub 6 hour range. I'd like to speak up on behalf of those of us, on both sides of the contest, who have realistic chances of coming in at slower times. These races, and this challenge, is as much about us as it is about you guys/gals. It is about each of us pushing ourselves to our limits and beyond, WHATEVER THOSE LIMITS MAY BE.

I know none of you are intentionally slighting any of us personally. However, some of the comments are coming very close to doing that. I want everyone to have a great race and to enjoy being part of this contest. Now, this may seem contradictory to the concept of a contest between SOR and Steelhead. That is not the case. While I hope everyone has a great race, those of you doing Steelhead can't even compare to how smoking hot the SOR team is gonna look. Especially those of us with Donkey gear.

I'm too sexy for Steelhead, too sexy for Steelhead, so sexy you're dead.

Y'all smell funny too. Nyah.

My goal is also sub 4:50.  But that is not for the finish, that is just to be off the bike by then.....heh.

I have a real good feeling about this SOR group.  I can't put my finger on it, but there is an energy about us that just tastes like victory.

Or maybe its this picture I found in Jazzy's album???  Maybe she signed up for the wrong race?  Not sure.
