Hope you don't mind me borrowing a bunch of them for my own trip down the path toward IM FL.<BR/><BR/>I got hung up on that "goal finish" thing a couple of weeks ago, & began to parse out what I felt I was capable of in each of the three disciplines, based on my half-iron performance last year. Really, the goal is to finish standing so I can smile when Mike Reilly provides that public affirmation over the PA. Then, I can go recover with a beer, a tattoo, and a nondescript M-dot sticker for the back of my car...well, perhaps the beer and the tattoo. ;)<BR/><BR/>BTW - I loved your article in Triathlete magazine...especially the innuendos. ;)Michael Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08389220912107632600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116549614625002616.post-41618951393126250782009-03-17T21:35:00.000-07:002009-03-17T21:35:00.000-07:00"those who prepare, prevail""those who prepare, prevail"Zagrunner23https://www.blogger.com/profile/03152196870772518381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116549614625002616.post-27984144140029107282009-03-15T23:05:00.000-07:002009-03-15T23:05:00.000-07:00Thanks for the tips!

I catch hell for my relatively weak/nonexistent kick, and they don't realize it's because we have to save our legs for several hours of land-based locomotion immediately after the swim.<BR/><BR/>Good on you for talking the coach about your specific needs; most good ones I've met do understand we are looking for something to make us better swimmers, not just good pool racers.Michael Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08389220912107632600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116549614625002616.post-90622480047768551972009-01-28T22:49:00.000-08:002009-01-28T22:49:00.000-08:00Did it work?Loved the picture of Viggo!Did it work?<BR/><BR/>Loved the picture of Viggo!Neal Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640667639625351617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116549614625002616.post-62182366847189223062009-01-27T07:25:00.000-08:002009-01-27T07:25:00.000-08:00Sorry I couldn't make it to OR.
