I AM AN IRONWOMAN!!!Today I completed the Troika Ironman 70.3. I plan to write a great big long wordy race report, but here's a synopsis:
Woke up this morning really nervous. Felt like I was going to throw up all the way to the site. Secured a spot next to a tree (score, you don't have to rack your bike, or fight to get it down) and set up. Chatted a bit with teammates, and with Roy. He documented EVERYTHING. LOL!
Swim: My watch said 50:50. It's a 1.2 mile swim. I should have don...
All Comers Track Meet
Friday, August 1st 2008

Our 23rd Anniversary
Monday, July 21st 2008

It's nothing to write home about.Anyhow, we got up early and I did a bit of work before taking off. We double checked all of our gear. Roy had BIG butterflies, which was cute because he's always Mr. Cool. I know how much this was out of his comfort zone, so I'm so proud of him for suggesting it and following through. Got to Seattle j...

Well it is official. I am officially a Certified Personal Fitness Trainer (well, I told you that a few weeks ago). But of course that didn't mean I could go out and grab some guy or gal off the street and start barking orders to "Exhale with the effort!" Nope, had to get some ducks in a row.So I did...
I applied for my business license. I got word on Friday that's it's cleared. Just need to get it in the mail.
