Hey guys, it was nice to meet everybody yesterday, I wish I could have made it to chips house. Well my body was not ready to race, and it was pretty well a suffer fest for me on the run yesterday, but I did have one bright side to the day.
Here is the link to the Rockford Registar star, if you go to the left side of the page you can click on the small picture of the paper and it will give you a PDF version of the Paper, that is my daughter on the front page. My mom made those shirts for the whole family for IMWIS last year, and my daughter wears it to every race. If any of you saw my Mom and Dad (they live less than 30 miles away), my daughter and I think one of my sons yesterday they all had these red shirts on for a while.
By the way Bottomfeeder, sorry I did not get to introduce you to my mom she got there right as the race started.
Congratulations to everyone for great races yesterday, Chip it was a really good race and I am looking forward to next year.
TRIDOC, if your mom looks anything like your daughter, I would have liked to meet her. It was a pleasure meeting you. I wish we had more time to talk, and I am sorry I did not give you an opportunity to smack me. How did you do anyway?
I was the little bi!*h boy yesterday, I got smacked by everyone, I think I probably came in last in the ST smackdown and was close to last OA, OH well I will get them next year, and I am sure you will be there racing. I do not think you could stand on the sidelines and watch again next year
I look forward to seeing some of the pics you took. Thanks for all of your help at the race.
Yeah it was hard to resist jumping in… and show everybody WHAT NOT TO DO in a 1/2 Ironman!
I had some time to kill yesterday sitting at the airport and reviewed the pictures I took with Newbz’ camera. The women sitting across from me shot me weird glances as I exploded in laughter now and then. I will post some pics up tomorrow, and I will find a way to distribute the rest to the interested parties.
Tri-3 also took some killer pictures, and it would be nice if he and I pooled our pics together to post on some website, so that you racers can request whichever ones you want. I would be happy to email them to you (no charge of course).
