I'll agree with that, because since spectating IM OZ, I've ridden my
bike each day. And rain has been imminent each session. And I rode
anyway, and got rained on. Yay! I'm gonna be an iron-gal.

Next year you only have to go so far as Port Macquarie...

It was amazing. There were people drinking beer spectating the swim
start at 6.15 am. It's the 20th race at Forster and some people who did
all 20 stopped in
the finish chute, collected coles bags full of chocolate bars and
lollies and party poppers and noise makers and stood there for about 5
minutes throwing them into the crowd before crossing the line! We saw
the last guy come across with a few seconds to spare. The guy who got
race number 666 dressed up as the devil - he put on face paint in
tranisition! We saw a man with only one arm finish, we saw several who
had bike accidents and got bandaged up and still finished before cutoff.
We saw a 76 y.o.
man finish about 5 minutes before cutoff, we saw Macca win it for the
fourth time in a row, leading the whole way, we saw Lisa win it for the
fourth time in a row, coming from way back in the elite swim pack, way
back in the cycle, and catching everyone by halfway through the run! I
saw a guy sieze up and refuse aid from anyone so he could get up again
in 5 minutes and keep running. There was one man still out on the
course after the finish time but we all stayed late to cheer him in, he
was probably about 6 minutes over. People ran across the line and came
back into the chute to get applause. People did stupid dances, one guy
did lots of cartwheels (good way to pull a groin muscle after all the
running...). I think when I do it I'll work on being limber enough that
I can still do the splits after the marathon!!! It was sooooo fun. It's
a shame you have to go through so much pain to be a hero...

For some reason I was a VIP, don't know why, I just got asked. Sooo many
people knew me, it was freakish. Ironbee (Mike) called back to me when I
yelled Go Mike, he said "Thanks Tamyka, how are you doing?" and I
thought, a hell of a lot better than a guy who is only 6km into a
marathon and wearing a bee suit... Then in the VIP tent several people
were saying hi to me (old friends from defence triathlon assoc mostly)
and then all the kids were like "oooh is she someone famous?" it was
pretty funny.

If you're gonna be Iron-Gal, does that mean you have to stay out of the rain or you will rust?

Meet me at Hawthorn at 5:45 then ...

I've got 2 x 15min E3s, you can chase me

 

[ritcho]

with apologies to Lars and Co...

riding into work, spot a guy i see quite regularly on my commute. He's on a slicked up mtb and perpetually seems to be wearin the same kit (or maybe that's my stereotype gland overheating )

[snip]

suggestions welcome

[cheeky]A slicked up mtb? You should tell him he'd be faster on a real bike [/cheeky]

Seriously folks, you don't want to race wankers on the road in real traffic conditions. You might put the guy in his place, or you might not, but you stand a good chance of ending up broken and bruised. If he wants to race, get him down to the crits or a road race (or an mtb race if that's your thing). Please don't end up with the worst excuse for a bike accident.

Ritch
- Finally, my frame is on the way!!!

Oh wait.. we've done them already and I was late arriving (some pesky
email I had to answer ) so there wasn't any chasing at all.. 'cept me
and the dude on aerobars. "Eat my chainlube!"

...and then BAM! you jump around the outside hit max and take the sprint
by a wheel. I reckon Carl's HRmax is off.. Carl you're not THAT old
205bpm baby - watch that left ventricle explode!!
