What an awesome experience and holy cow! Your swim has come a long way in such a short period of time....and like you said, that's what you've been able to put your time and effort into. <BR/><BR/>Let's get training for IM CDA!!! woohoooo. Tell me when you're ready to run :) I'm going to have to start training early in the morning and I'm gonna drag you with me.<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/>Phaedra.Phaedra Cotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03504294505773097123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325596730601577245.post-70390749874682133912008-11-12T18:25:00.000-08:002008-11-12T18:25:00.000-08:00Steve. . . . this is a really good race report.

We are proud of you.<BR/><BR/>L.LORIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634014734979126499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325596730601577245.post-48531677444186943402008-11-12T12:19:00.000-08:002008-11-12T12:19:00.000-08:00Well dude, even though you had a tough run, you co...Well dude, even though you had a tough run, you competed at and finished the World Championships, and that is something that not very many people can say.<BR/><BR/>Hmmmm....so your training was "sub par"? Uh, that's like saying "I am healthy, but I'm just too lazy to train". You were freaking injured!!! How could you have trained??? The fact that you rallied to get to the start line is a feat in itself. I remember what your knee was like 6 weeks ago, and I had doubts that you would make it to the start. But you manned up, healed up, and did it.<BR/><BR/>We all know you can run way faster when you are healthy, and you will get back there soon. But maybe for my sake you can delay that day by a few races? :)<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear you are using this one as a learning experience, and that you still have the fire to get better. Just make sure the next big race you do isn't notorious for blatant cheating. The fact that you didn't let that get to ya is also big...you are more mentally strong than I am. I probably would have started doing some brake checks :)<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to get back at it with ya, and launch you on to IMCDA.<BR/><BR/>P.S. Can I motor-pace off ya next time you are clicking along at 201,000 mph? :) ha ha haTim Swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18383688047011136886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325596730601577245.post-56603680875667003872008-11-11T20:37:00.000-08:002008-11-11T20:37:00.000-08:00Way to go, B!

Emma LOVED seeing a pic of you in your visor :)<BR/><BR/>I agree with Lil' B that the conversation with Fast Guy was HILARIOUS... especially the conversation you were having with yourself. I was laughing out loud.<BR/><BR/>I'm so impressed with your swim time, buddy. Really, really awesome! I'm also glad that you didn't fall into the 'Cheatwater' bike tactics and rode your race. That's admirable when it's happening all around you... literally.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad it was a good experience and I'm interested to hear how it affects the future for you.<BR/><BR/>Glad you've been having so much fun playing too - well deserved, B! We're all so proud of you!jessithompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04262488207052276853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325596730601577245.post-67342235296642170382008-11-11T08:31:00.000-08:002008-11-11T08:31:00.000-08:00Congratulations!

All that hard work at Whitworth has really paid off!<BR/><BR/>Awesome job on the bike too! I wish I could ride 201,600 mph! No wonder people wanted to draft you! ;) Nice job not getting caught up in the drafting yourself, and I'm glad to hear the others got time penalties. Must have been fun to feel like Roger - I hope you treasured that moment!<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry to hear your run didn't quite go as planned, but I'm stoked that you are not beating yourself up over it. You really went into this race with a great attitude and "raced your race." Nice job! It sounds like it was an awesome experience and you will take a lot away from it.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on your World Championship finish, B! You are hard core A+ and you made us proud!!!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437428974126458186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325596730601577245.post-18277167828054569302008-11-10T18:59:00.000-08:002008-11-10T18:59:00.000-08:00Hey buddy, great race report!

Bummer about your run, but it sounds like you still did your best, and that is what counts. Like you said...the race should be a learning experience. I am so happy for you that you got to compete with world class athletes! You deserved this race, and I am pretty sure you will be there again some day :)Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650734081921103404noreply@blogger.com
