It’s true. She of the metal leg is stepping up an racing IM Arizona in '06. Entry form was submitted last week.
Congrats!
Now back on your bike.
…but with the help of my awesome new coaches, Desert Dude and SAC!!
YEAH!! I’m racing AZ too, we can sport our skirts together!! 
Hey what’s the scoop on your ankle, leg, hurt body part?
I’m a mess. Had a bone scan done on Friday, reviewing the report w/docs tomorrow. They’re thinking possibly stress fracture. I’ll find out tomorrow. I’ve got a few runs in this week (trail), and tried doing a water run as well - shoot me now.
Stress level - high!. I’m already racing with enough buggered up body parts without this
I will have to make sure when I get a new bike that it matches my running skirt… =)
I got my hip replaced in 2000. Feels great now, but I set off metal detectors.
I will keep my fingers crossed for you that it’s good news!!
Thanks KK!
please post a hi res pic when you are ready to show it off…the bike I mean : )
in the meantime we can critique the skirt!.. LOL
How the heck did you end up needing a hip replacement. You’re sooo young?
F i s h
See you there. I’m sure that your coaches will have you more prepared for it then I will be.

long story, but the more-or-less condensed version is here:

sorry, can’t make links on my mac. and i’ll definitely show off my bike as soon as I decide what i’m getting!
lakercr and i have been comparing notes on major injuries sustained as a result of our hobbies, but i think he has me beat since i’ve never come close to dying…
I must have been out of town when that post was around.
Reading your story was painful.
You are very courageous!
Heck-You only get one chance at life…right?
Since you’re part Tit and flesh(titanium that is) you need to get a Litespeed : )
Remember that aluminum and titanium don’t get along.
I know you will do well at IMAZ.
You’ve gotten this far.
You’re tiny so choose you’re bike well.
I know Heather Fuhr uses a K2, i think they come as small a 48 ?
Keep us posted.
“Heck-You only get one chance at life…right?”
Exactly. And I wouldn’t want mine to be any different than what it is.
Thanks for the encouragement! I’ll definitely keep you posted on the progress.
SAC is helping me look into bikes - including Litespeed. I like the idea of having a Ti theme… I ride a 43 road bike frame now and am thinking I’ll have to go custom to get something in the right proportions for me.
43!?!?!? Holy smokes girl you are tiny!! 
“Holy smokes girl you are tiny!! :)”
I like to think of myself as extra aero… =)
Running skirt? What’s that?
as if you didn’t know…
Hope SAC told you to get 650 wheels girl!
and btw, how come, as a dd & sac athlete, you aren’t coming to EP camp??

I spent all my mad money on a $70 running skirt… but it’s really cool!
The rest of my $$ is going into a new bike… =)
I assume you just wanted to see a pic of Miami79 in said skirt, but just in case: http://www.skirtsports.com
