Love Ironman :)

I am enjoying the evening checking up on friends doing Ironman Florida.  (not loving the LSU loss as much...)  

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????    :))))))))
