You are why this sport is the best! You share your highs, lows, triumphs and achievements! You show that this sport is MORE than about yourself, it takes a "family" to get you across the finish line. Best of everything to you and the family.TriFilmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15867671244598128116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302965147817846017.post-77237267836359229522008-10-29T19:25:00.000-05:002008-10-29T19:25:00.000-05:00Nice report! It's great reading it from some who is SO fast!!! That stinks about the 2 penalties on the bike - I got one at WI by just zoning out, so I can see how it can happen so easily.<BR/><BR/>WAY TO GO, CHRIS!!Steve Stenzelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11419298404210612118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302965147817846017.post-34979356545508634322008-10-28T13:21:00.000-05:002008-10-28T13:21:00.000-05:00I was out there spectating with my husband and saw you at Mile one on the marathon--you looked anything bu frustrated!!!

Don't kid yourself, you had a good day. That course was HARD and conditions made it even HARDER!! You stayed focused even though you had so much adversity with your penalty and nutrition. Don't kid yourself, you will go back. Who cares if the course is baren and boring, you want to kick it's ass don't you? I'd like another chance.... cdGFOQhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13553132130238270317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302965147817846017.post-9463344369888098002008-10-20T17:45:00.000-05:002008-10-20T17:45:00.000-05:00What a great race report. I have been waiting to read it. I want so badly to qualify, but for some of us, it will take a great deal of attrition or a switch to a qualifying time. Anyway, it was so exciting to watch you all day and get updates. In my mind you exemplify the best of the best in our sport. You take the time to teach us all, and are the reason this sport is the best in the world. Thanks for all you do.SimplyStuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01574046753131974066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5302965147817846017.post-67594163474631700412008-10-20T14:08:00.000-05:002008-10-20T14:08:00.000-05:00unreal... two penalties... you flew buddy.JP Severinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08968216670922496660noreply@blogger.com
