Thanks for the well wishes Derek - good luck to you next weekend at Trail Mix (and with your daughter...hope she's feeling better!); Great advice Libor, I'll totally look into that. Have you ever had to pull over in a race and use it? I bet that was an amusing site to drive past...I just posted a bunch of Ironman questions that maybe you'll have some insights on (Derek, you might find it useful, too, and check out Kathi's IMAZ report in the comments of another post...); RJD - welcome! Thanks for your kind words and for checking in - we've got a small and interesting group of regulars around here, so here's hoping you'll remain one!<BR/><BR/>Thanks one and all for everything - seriously, it's so cool and important to me that you're all along for the ride, offering advice and encouragement and insights. You're part of the Ironman team, and I'm grateful and happy to have you on board.xt4https://www.blogger.com/profile/15308795755496807869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17549049.post-1144898568175031122006-04-12T22:22:00.000-05:002006-04-12T22:22:00.000-05:00Hey I just wanted to add that it was a GREAT analo...Hey I just wanted to add that it was a GREAT analogy :) !!! and that when I said Marathon, I forgot to add 1/2 in front of it, but either way I would love to know how it went...<BR/><BR/>KathiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17549049.post-1144896993505730482006-04-12T21:56:00.000-05:002006-04-12T21:56:00.000-05:00Hey Chris,I am sorry to hear about your ride. I ha...Hey Chris,<BR/><BR/>I am sorry to hear about your ride. I have to say though that I am glad that this happened now, and this is why...<BR/><BR/>Because this is the time when you figure out what works and what to expect and what your options would be on race day. Things will end up going faster if they were to happen. Plus it might be the good ole "bad things happen now so that on race day it will be perfect!!!"<BR/><BR/>I love the booting of your tire with the 10$ bill. I remember a few years ago, a really awesome triathlete by the name of Jimmy Riccitello was telling a story about booting his tire with a 10$ bill and that he would forget about the bill and then the next time he went to change his tire he would find the money and be all excited :) hehehe. You are able to boot the tire with a power bar wrapper or some energy bar wrapper, so if you do not have money that would be an option.<BR/><BR/>How did the Marathon go? I know that you did awesome!!! I can't wait to hear about it :)!!<BR/><BR/>Smile,<BR/><BR/>KathiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17549049.post-1144511653540083142006-04-08T10:54:00.000-05:002006-04-08T10:54:00.000-05:00Damn Gina, when it rains, it pours!Have a wonderfu...Damn Gina, when it rains, it pours!<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful vacation in New Mexico!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17549049.post-1144477689094573912006-04-08T01:28:00.000-05:002006-04-08T01:28:00.000-05:00Dang!
