We've just returned from our drive to Lake Placid, NY for
Ironman USA, and it's so good to be home. After the race we went down to Philidelphia for a few days to hang with Derrick and Ali, and a great time was had being
touristy,
eating lots of food, and confronting

I know what you mean about the long drive. I drove straight through from AngelFire for 18 hours at xmas, and I'm not positive I want to do that again. (although it was pretty sweet to be able to crash in my own bed that night!)
I'm gonna think of both of you, and how badass both of you are when I'm down in the bottom of that canyon running and sweating..and sweating, and hopefully still running some more. When I want to quit, I'm gonna remember you both kicking ass in the pouring rain for more than half a day. It will keep me going, I feel sure of it!

If you'd like to see where we're going and when, I put the schedule up at http://ical.me.com/extempore7/paloduro2008
Note that the distances there are for the 20k training schedule, but we have folks training for the 31 miler and the 50 miler who will be doing bigger distances. In most of these places, they are big loops, that the big distance folks do multiple times.
This Saturday, the Enchanted Rock loop is gonna be 7 miles. Looks like the 50 miler folks are gonna be doing 18 miles (probably 21, so they can just do the loop 3 times) Anyhow, we'll be all over the place and if you don't have field trips of your own planned, you should come along!

I'm so proud of you. You were dealt a crappy hand this training season, but despite all of that, you managed to have a fantastic race, an amazing bike on a hard and rainy course, and a PR. I can't wait to see how you tear up the course on the next IM we do, when you have a GOOD season of training. I take the checkbook every time, because I know some day soon we'll be writing you a check for Kona.
Thank you for an amazing vacation!
