wanted a good clean start so seeded myself front row to the right.....bang goes the announcers go and off we went. felt fine so just kept on pushing. felt i lost my wave by the first turn.......safe to say, nobody passed me on this run........

nadda, this run felt uber juju'd!!!

wanted to stay relaxed and focused, thought i did that. thought this was faster but in setting my goal i figured a minute each transition so this was fine!

nadda

wanted to push this and thought i did. kind of a bit (but not much) disappointed with the overall pace but, i'll take it. newbs didnt really affect me too much, mostly people were respectful if you called out "on your left".............nobody passed me on this ride.

not much. push harder but still think i have some lingerings from last week hanging around inside me...........

again, tried to just stay relaxed and focused here. and again thought i did. goal was one minute for this so goal met!

nadda

felt a weeee bit sluggish at the onset of this one, never really did find a "comfy" stride either, but still happy with it.........and again, nobody passed me on this run!

nadda

found family, found donkeys, drank water, drank gatorade, talked with peeps (included the doc from the med tent that helped me out last weekend at ironm*n)


not much, some lingerings from last weekend affected my breathing on the second run, but.........not complaining at all, very happy with this race. Goal time was 1:23:00 and beat that, didnt have to sherpa jmwebs gear back to his vehicle and will be getting a nice slice of extra cheesy superoni courtesy of jmwebs as well.

post race meal was F'N HILARIOUS!!! group first wanted to hit main street in dousman to find a small cafe, nogo, then onto perkins in delafield on hwy 83 only to get outvoted, then over to what we thought was the water street brewery in delafield only to be in the wrong place, then ended up at the water street brewery. ironically, lunatick was not leading the group on any of these wrong turns!!! meal was so-so but conversation top notch:

some quotes from the meal:

pjgrande - well i was talking to Charles Benson and he said someday he wants to do one of THESE (as she is pointing to herself.........um, yeah)

pjgrande - (while eating an olive.) oh man, i bit as i was sucking and it shot down my throat!!!.......um, yeah.........

lunatick - shaddup penis breath!

nic - "i have no idea what just happened"

nic - PJ, how much does an IV bag way? about a pound? (PJ) not sure, depends on how much a pound ways.....(jmwebs) i would guess right around a pound.......

and special props to joerunner who, after chugging two bloody mary's, stumbled and tripped out of the door.......



midwestsports events has had a tough year. great race by a good group!!!
