It's been fun to share in some of the training and racing adventures together!<BR/><BR/>The sign patrol was HILARIOUS. Thanks for all the laughs and pulling out your A+ ness in a big way. What a great memory!jessithompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04262488207052276853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325596730601577245.post-25885411821854975932008-07-02T13:25:00.000-07:002008-07-02T13:25:00.000-07:00Dude, it was fun watching you race, even if you di...Dude, it was fun watching you race, even if you didn't hold off Josh :) That was by far the funniest moment of the day...we were all laughing our asses off long after you had given your "WTF" pose! You really did kick ass in T2. It totally makes a difference in short races where seconds count.<BR/><BR/>And thanks again for the signs and streamers at my house. It was a nice surprise to wake up to on race day.Tim Swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18383688047011136886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325596730601577245.post-16608627790133933322008-06-30T20:11:00.000-07:002008-06-30T20:11:00.000-07:00Steve;Way to PR.

Looks like you all did a great job with the signs and stuff!!! Being at registration was fun too. Hope to have the post up soon.<BR/>Keep it up Soon to be IM :)<BR/><BR/>Michelle and JayM-Dothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08249733617168118698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325596730601577245.post-90668828367153927992008-06-28T06:02:00.000-07:002008-06-28T06:02:00.000-07:00Way to go Steve.

I guess it's the law of increasing returns for you. I'm sure you've worked really hard and gutted it out, earning every bit of gain. As fast as you're improving, you're going to earn that first W before long. I like that you used the accurate number (2.92M) for the run instead of the listed 3.4M. I was pretty amused by Tim's comment "Hold him off!" Josh is one fast dude. Being competitive (just a little ... lot), I had to compare our splits after your "fastest guy" remark. Don't bet against the old guy ;0). Anyway, thanks so much for participating in putting up the signs. Despite having a tough time seeing myself as an Ironman and being terribly allergic to Ironman, I really appreciated my sign, which is still on display in my flower garden. It was really great when I saw that sign after being away from home, esentially for a month trainng and racing. Thank you.Michael W.

Keep it up and you WILL win a race someday! <BR/><BR/>And props to you and Jessi and Tiff for you dedication to being the BEST Iron cheer squad out there! It looks like you had a blast!
