Where is the Bowmont?

Count QRguy and I in. I will bring something as well, I just don't know what yet. Maybe gluten free pasta if I can cook it there...

Alright peeps, I'm here. It was about 24 degrees and sunny when we arrived, then dropped down to under 20 and poured rain, and then went back over 20 and was sunny and bright, and is now back down to around 19 and raining. Oh, and I've been here for just over 2 hours lol!

Can't wait to see everyone! :D

Sounds about right. The rain has brought cooler weather and the big winds have inverted the lake. Those Gatorade swims @ 07:00 are gonna be FUN!

I got a last minute room at the Slumberlodge so that will be homebase for me. If you want my cell I'll PM it to you. I have a Canada calling plan so it should be OK to call, or you can text me.

Hey guys, I just wanted to make sure it's cool for me to bring along my SO. He's small and doesn't eat much!

Miranda, thanks for hosting a great event. it was cool to put faces to names.

For those spectating and volunteering THANK YOU! For my fellow racers I need to ask WHY do we do this? I've now finished four IMC's and I still can't believe I was stupid enough to sign up for #4. It will be a long time before I feel ready to do another IM. I kept introducing my self as, "Hi, my name is STUPID. I knew what I was getting myself into and I went ahead and did it anyhow". Who runs(or hobbles) a freaken marathon after swimming for ever and riding for ever???

Cheers and congrats!

Karen

One last thing...QRboy seems like a really great guy.

It was so great to meet you all. I was rooting for you out on the course! Khai and I were trading texts all day to report back and forth on how you all were doing.

The weather was just awful, IMO. I was freezing from just standing around and I can't imagine how much it sucked to be running in it. You girls are tough!

I hope we have another Womens get together soon!

What's the story on Black Diamond? Looks like I just may need to get out there and do a half! ;)

Jess - you looked awesome when you passed me - hope that the rest of your race went well. Jehns, thanks for cheering.
Huge thanks to QRGirl for shovelling me through T2. Yesterday was definitely not my day. I felt really nauseous from the start of the swim and started throwing up everything that I tried to eat just before Oliver. I was pretty close to dropping out at that point. Very glad that I did stick it out and finish. Sorry if I missed others on race day - just a little out of it :P

Now I am PISSED and ready for some REVENGE!!

Miranda! I was trying to figure out what happened to you all day. I was at your hotel putting my name on the list for next year, but I didn't want to knock on your door because I wasn't sure how you were feeling about yesterday. Glad I didn't because I don't want to see you pissed :P Thanks again for dinner!
I'm also ready for revenge next year!

Miranda, kudos to you for pulling it together and finishing! My heart ached seeing you so upset in T2... I'm so glad to hear that you did cross the finish line.

Thank you so much for be a pre-race hostess, it was great to meet you and D.

Jen-
Thanks much for your cheering out on the run course. Familiar faces in the crowds were like little beacons of hope and energy, and I needed all I could get in order to finish.

Chris

Hey Miranda, way to tough it out after a really rough day. When Erin texted me that you had just left T2 I was pretty shocked, and wondered if you had had an incident out on the bike course. Glad to hear that you're okay, if pissed off. Not that you're particularly lacking in motivation, but I guess this is even more fuel for your fire. :p


Hope CA is great to you this winter - you're gonna come back fighting!


Thanks again for hosting as well. I love the womens of ST. :)

Hey -

I was wondering.. I know that was not the kind of day you are trained for.

Sorry it was shit.. you still run a better marathon than most of the world when feeling like crap though, if that's any consolation!

Wisconsin? Florida? What's next?

Update your blog, woman ;) I must have looked 5 times since the race!

Hope you're feeling better now.

Thanks, I kind of like him too ;-)

How was the rain during the run on Sunday? I'm interested to know if it sucked or was kind of nice. I think I would have liked it as I melt in the heat.
