I find that when I track friends doing an Ironman, I get so pumped up to race again. I want to sign up for an Ironman ASAP- know the feeling?
The IMFL drafting reports are already out there, though. And that is one thing about that race that really turns me off- the reason I may never do that course again. I remember- vividly- literally my heart rate is elevated thinking about it- the drafting. I remember seeing people I know fly by me in packs. It sure is easy to hold a pace 1-2 mph faster with a pack than on your own. Grrrr! I had to work hard to keep my focus inward instead of wasting energy on losers. And there were sooooo many losers! Ughhh!!!! Cheating sucks. So, Joy, to answer your question- nope, won't do Florida again. I just remembered why.
But, anyways, back to the good stuff. Daniela Kruse (blogger) and my friend Kat Grifo (college teamie) look like they are both on there way to a finish- yea!!!!! I hope they are enjoying every step of their marathon and taking it all in- that first Ironman finish. Congratulations!
And I am just sitting around thinking...which IM next???? :))))))))
