Remember Lucia Colbert? 1991 Hawaii Ironman finisher (among a million other things)? Here she is...looking a little dorky just like me in our stylish socks. But hey, when it is a little chilly in the am, these things feel good!
These girls are the bomb! Lisa, Nannette, (me), Lucia, and Giselle. They are the fastest and most dedicated women out there. Even more importantly is they share a great friendship and are fun to be around!
And, of course no race would be complete without Gina! Okay, so we were quite a bit slower than we were last year, and the year before that, and.... But, we are now motivated to start kicking some butt again. I am learning so many little lessons about myself and racing this year, and I can't wait to use them and improve!Okay, just 4 weeks left until Florida. I am ready to go! Two more hard weeks and then some taper time. Oh, and it is time to tighten up on my nutrition- my worst discipline in the sport. Like Marit, maybe I will try the October no candy challenge. It sounds horrible, but maybe necessary?

this isn't related to your post, it's about the new picture that you posted. when did you dance? what on earth are you wearing!!!
Lucia did hawaii in 1991 and 1992 I believe. In 1991 her and I(gary)
got in via the lottery. In 1992 she qualified at memphis in may triathlon.
Yes thats correct memphis in may used to be a qualifier race back in the day before there were any other ironman races in the us that didn't happen until 1999 with lake placid and florida. Canada was the only qualifer in north america at the time.
First, I LOVE your new pictures! We should totally go out dancing sometime, now that I know you're a pro and all... ;)
I'm sad I didn't end up heading out to the forest this Sunday to run with you and Gina! I did my 10 miles in Shelby Farms on my own since I was out late on Saturday for a farewell to my friend Tiffany who is moving to Baltimore next week. You're probably not going to be doing the next 10 miler since you'll be a week out from your race! Wow, so close!!! :)
Cute Pics!! Love the socks!!!
Ha ha, yeah, what are you wearing in that 80's dance photo! LOVE it...
hope your next 4 wks are incredible. Just full of fun and speed :)
Great pictures! Yes yes yes - join the challenge and then do it thru the race. You get EXTRA points!!! :) AND your post race will be incredible.
And for the record: its the baked items that are killing me... :)
