Congrats Sherry on your finish at IMLP!
Way To Go, Sherry!
Awesome job!
By the way... did you guys hear that IMLP for 2009 sold out today, ON-SITE??? No on-line registration available... if you were not there in person, you're S.O.L.!!! It took 3 Days for IM Coeur d'Alene 09 to sell out.
That is just crazy
Looks like this sport is really gaining in populartiy

Thanks everyone! I totally sandbagged the run-on purpose!
I took the swim EASY...WIDE first loop to avoid punched...got beat up at the turn-around bouys...I followed the bouy line on the 2nd loop-1:19 for the 2.4 mile swim!
Ok, bike. OMG. HARD. I took it easy and rode low gears mostly. The last 15 miles are a climb back into lake placid on each loop. Some major climbs throughout.
First half I averaged an ok 15.5 mph-(I'll take that w/the hillz). 2nd loop I managed an "easy" 14.5. Like I said...that shizzle is uphill each way...rawr. Bike was 7.5ish hours. My crotch survived niceley thanks to Aquafor.
Run...I ran/walked the first half in 3 and change.
The 2nd half I walked. My left hip was hurting. I figured I had a whole 5 hours left to finish, so why injure myself further.
I have pics-so I'll post them when I get back into CT.
Thanks for cheering me on.
Total time spent in the DOWNPOURS... 16:09:09

Sherry, You Are AMAZING! To be able to push through the weather, the hills and the shear number of miles and hours to get to the end certainly is proof of your IRON-tested mental and physical strength. When I visited my surgeon today for my two-year anniversary, I had to brag about you and all that you've accomplished.
