I'm actually doing another one in a month. The Castaway Club triathlon in Detroit Lakes, MN. My goal for next year is to move up and do an Olympic distance race. Unfortunately I don't have a blog, I just mooch off of Chris's here...hehe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17549049.post-1153287612026161072006-07-19T00:40:00.000-05:002006-07-19T00:40:00.000-05:00Wow, Chris, I am glad that you made it and withsto...Wow, Chris, I am glad that you made it and withstood the heat!! :) I can hardly wait to see the pictures!! I am not sure that I would agree with the shortening of the race either!!<BR/><BR/>But I do have to share, that a friend of mine who raced in Ironman Utah a couple of years ago. I want to konw where there decision making was then!! It was no where!<BR/><BR/>During this race there were high swells in the water and they still let the race go, there were horrible conditions and someone ended up dying and another person almost drowned. My friend told me that the kayakers in the water were capsizing and they could not help anyone. <BR/><BR/>Then he said that on the bike, the winds were so bad that they were blowing semis across the roads and the bike was shortened.<BR/><BR/>I don't remember what he said about the run, but all in all it sounded like a bad day and I am not even sure why they even let the race start!!<BR/><BR/>Todd, I did not know that you had another race!! that is sooo cool, congrats on your success. Hey Todd do you have a blog also?<BR/><BR/>KathiFeGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405522547085138204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17549049.post-1153182764026923732006-07-17T19:32:00.000-05:002006-07-17T19:32:00.000-05:00Thanks Mike!

I hope your trip is going well...happy and safe travels to you. <BR/><BR/>The race went very well. I had an absolute blast. What a great production Lifetime puts on. The heat was pretty nasty but I prepared well for it and dealt with it pretty with it as best I could. No disasters out there. My goal was 1:25 and I ended up finishing at 1:28.34. So all in all, considering the conditions, I'm gonna call it a success.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17549049.post-1153071558447347332006-07-16T12:39:00.000-05:002006-07-16T12:39:00.000-05:00Hey! Glad to hear that you had a good race. I go...Hey! Glad to hear that you had a good race. I got to see you come out of the water, but you were too fast for me to shout anything. You and Steve were in such different sections of the race that, even though I tried, I could not see both of you at once. Hopefully we'll actually be able to meet before IM!<BR/><BR/>I agree with the "lameness" of the decision to change the course. They've been predicting this type of heat for the past 10 days and must have known their decision WAY before the late announcement they decided to make. <BR/><BR/>Don't have an official time for Steve yet, but all I can say is that I think he's a rock star. He averaged something like 7:30/mile on his run. I keep telling him that it was the sunglasses I lent him :)<BR/><BR/>With all of the race curve balls you've been thrown this year, Wisconsin will be in the bag!Pharmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18293012607436038731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17549049.post-1153027941797925372006-07-16T00:32:00.000-05:002006-07-16T00:32:00.000-05:00So happy to hear that everyone made it to the end ...So happy to hear that everyone made it to the end in a good way...
