Just started a little blog a couple of weeks ago to track my good times with the girls--please check it out!<BR/>trijinx.blogspot.com<BR/>carmencarmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02717951238155199369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17628635.post-1157312478666922582006-09-03T12:41:00.000-07:002006-09-03T12:41:00.000-07:00Hey Mr. Ironman, thank you SO MUCH for your kind w...Hey Mr. Ironman, <BR/><BR/>thank you SO MUCH for your kind words. I've never thought of us as having moxie, OR flapdoodlery, but I'm proud to say we've both! One of my favorite parts of racing triathlon with TriGirl is that big group of women in pink there at the finish line absolutely freaking out any time any one of us crosses the finish line. By the time the last of us crosses, there are only a few others athletes out on the course and we stay to go apeshit to run them in. It is just so much freakin' fun. We've a number of teams around town [with lots more "fasties" than we've got] and I've seen NARY a one at the finish hollering for their team mates. I suppose I'm spoiled, but I think that's shameful. I'm always threatening to go right on over to some of those lonely women and whisper, "hey sister, come on over here, and train with us..." We love our fasties, too, make no mistake, and they are sometimes surprised at how much we love to support them as much as everyone else - but we just don't do that comparison thing. What for? TriGirl triathlon is about getting your ass out of bed every morning -- your big ass, your skinny ass, or, in my case, your ass with just one glute!-- and doing it. Races? All they are is a group celebration of all that training. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for supporting us, and for SUCH an inspiring race report. <BR/><BR/>Yours very sincerely, <BR/>Heilbron Rushing-Cooper, TRIGirl<BR/>PS: Burn Glycogen, Not Fossil FuelsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17628635.post-1157229696775913022006-09-02T13:41:00.000-07:002006-09-02T13:41:00.000-07:00Thanks J.
