I did my 1st HIM this weekend - Mosseman. It is an excellent, well run event.
It was the 1st race I’ve participated in with wetsuit strippers. It was actually fun. They removed the worst part of T1. I encourage race directors everywhere to add them to the roster.
Agreed.
The Deuces Wild Festival had strippers for all three races (HIM, Olympic, and Xterra)…so much better having someone take it off for you ; )
You hear that chip, Rockman needs stripers, not just the dancing girls you had on tap.

One more good thing to add about Mooseman…The maple syrup has been making my breakfasts so much better! Thanks KJ
Haha, I don’t want to eat mine, I like looking at its pretty amber color!
How are you feeling? I’ve been so freakin’ tired… if I’m not at work (half days teaching kindergarten) then I have been in bed, sleeping or trying to. Soooo not like me.
oh yeah, the wetsuit strippers were great. I can never get that wicked thing off by myself 
FYI, use the syrup on your pancakes, and refill the bottle with whiskey…it’ll look the same:)
I’m tired too…

You must be EXHAUSTED, particularly as you don’t get a taper before all these events!
I don’t know if we have whiskey. My parents don’t drink a lot at all, except for a little wine now and then (I got to have a glass tonight, I’ll sleep like a kitten). But anyway good idea! I wonder what mom will say when I add “whiskey” to the grocery list 
I’m feeling pretty good. I only did the international though and I just trained through it. I’m racing again this weekend! The worst part was having to pack up everything after the race then drive hours to get home by 5.

There is something so hard about driving home from a race, or a vacation… there is none of the excitment of driving to it!
I drove to NH by myself but was in no condition to make it home safely afterward, so my brother and dad had to come rescue me. Yes, I am spoiled. I had driven an hour toward Maine and just felt like I could not focus so when I called mom and said that she sent them after me, “better than you wrecking another one of our cars”
I’ve got syrup from Mooseman 3 years ago. I dont think ill be eating it.
Sorry if this seems like a hijack, but I’ve been thinking about wetsuit strippers and the fact that most of us pee in our suits…
Anyone else think about that? That’s one job I don’t think I’ll ever volunteer for

I like it when they strip your wetusit and as they are doing it your shorts slide off. Happen to me several years back. That wasn’t a brown trout that flopped out.
