That's Zane Gray 50 day (i'm sorry, I just wanted to up elliot)...I don't even belong here anymore.  I don't even own a bike.

you are better than all of us. go back to your other logging site where you belong. if i do ragnar ultra again you're on my team.

Elliot - do you really want anyone else to see you butt naked squeezing into the Zoot Recovery tights

hahaha.. well, well, well... look who it is. I think I'm all Ragnar'd out for at least another couple years. I still have nightmares about it.

i still need to get my baton trophy. i will cherish that thing more than my ironman medals.  running over 26.2 miles just isn't my thing... yet.

jzitar - 2011-04-14 3:45 PM It is a pretty red baton - #1 BABY! You were so fast even when you gave the field a handicap by running two EXTRA miles

i talked to stephen about it this morning and elizabeth wants him to throw it away. she thinks it looks like a "toy".

What kind of toy!

rumor has it you've stepped up your game in the pool. kim says she sees you once a week. you should start going to 5:30 masters. KK needs a swim pal.

karleen will swim a sub 30, so that'll put you back 5-7 minutes or so from her... get to work on the bike and run to catch her!

Congrats to everyone out at the Phoenix Tri yesterday.  I noticed Sally rocked the course (again) and pulled in the top female slot in the Sprint - Congrats!

The swim was rougher than expected (for the International distance, at least), as the winds were kicking up and we had some considerable chop on the lake.  The long run from the swim to transition was a bit inconvenient, but not overly painful.  The bike was hilly, as it always is at Lake Pleasant, and the run followed suit.  DCB put on another good event, although I hear the arrows on the trail portion of the run threw some people off course briefly.

Another good day of racing and sportsmanship out there.  Cam Hill is bad-a** - I was heading out on the bike, about 5 miles along, when he came tearing back the other way, finishing his 20 miler.  I think he was also the guy who came out of the water at like 25-26 minutes.

Personally, at 2:48:25, I calculate that out to a PR in comparison with some Oly races last summer, so I was happy - but I still need work for IM AZ.
