glad you all enjoy

I'm assuming that if it's a 1/2 then all the times are cut by half? 

I hope I'm right - I won't have time to check back because I'm training for a 1/2 Ironman...

I'm letting all of you, as I've let my friends and family know already, that I will be taking a family vacation in Lake George in July solely so that we can end the vacation with a drive up to Lake Placid to sign-up for IMUSA 2010.  So I'd like to make an addendum and I'd like to add -- Pre-Sign Up Phase bragging:   Effective last August, I have and will continue to be informing everyone, including my postmaster's Great Aunt, the bag boy at the checkout, and people waiting at the bus stop down the block from my work, and not excluding my mother and wife's co-workers friends and family, that I will be signing up this July to compete in an Ironman the following year.  The two or three HIM's I'm doing this year, all prep for the big dance, the event humonguouso, my first Ironman ...the Olympic Oval of all Olympic Ovals in the known universe, I---r---o---n---m---a---n  "Born in the beautifull U S of A" ... introooduuuucing (cue the drums and epic beginning theme music from Superman dunt dunt dunt dunt, raise volume)... the epic New York beast of the East 140.6 miler Ironman Lake Placid 2010... WHICH I WILL BE RACING! 

Seriously, I don't ever mention triathlon unless someone asks me, and then I just vaguely say yay I swim, bike and run -- it's good exercise.  The few times I've told people how much I train and how many races I did last year, I often gotten responses like "Are you trying to kill yourself?"  or "Why would you want to do that to yourself?"   Oh well.  

my background for my work computer is the swim/bike/run course map of IMCOZ.

did I mention I'm DOING AN IRONMAN?

This is SO funny.  I don't know how I missed it before.

Oh, I guess I was recovering from my Iron Man race...

Replies - very funny THanks guys

ha, I hear you on that !!

"Tricia is running 20"
"Tricia is 10 mo. out from IMCOZ!"
"Tricia booked her hotel in Cozumel for the IM"
"Tricia will be an IM in 9 mo!"

etc....

i missed the first part of this.......... i have been out training for an Ironman.......

i love the knocking on the neighbors door part!  i laughed so hard i had to log it as anerobic training!  (that would be funnier if i spelled it right)
