Ut Oh - Looks Like Chad's (Kyppir) Got Some F Competition!

You know her?  She did the FL last year in 14:19 mins and is doing the AZ and Lake Placid ones  this year ..    She's going to be featured on CNN news this weekend a.m.

 Hmmm   I just noticed something ..  Sherry's Triathlon time was in the 14 hour range ..  and Chad's was in the only 1 hr.+ range  ..    Am I comparing apples and oranges here?   I assumed that all Ironman Triathlon courses are the same length ..  (?)    Sounds like there was either a big difference in these two races' lengths or either someone is Superman (or Snailwoman)  (???) 

I see she's from Dracula, Georgia. Hmmmmm.......

  hmmmm ..  she DOES have that sorta Goth look goin' on ..   &;-)

I went over to TunaTown to see when this "IronGal" lady was going to be on CNN and saw that the Heidi skank threatened to kick your ass. Counselor, you do have a way with women, don't you?  Now, don't be gettin' em all upset and have them come over here looking for you.  "Counselor? Come out, come out whereever you are...!"   http://www.videosift.com/video/Cape-Fear-Counselor-Come-out- come-out

 Great flick(s), Boner!     They make me glad I don't do criminal law at all ..  with civil law, they usually just sue us if we screw up ..   &;-)   As to Ms. Heidi (NoFleisch), note that she jumped me  b/c I referred to the F marathoners as "gals", which she somehow considered a slam to her gender ..  (note that I asked her, in a nice way, wtf do Fs want to be called these days???) ...     geez, some people ....... !

 and here's her answer:   Personally I prefer womyn, no man or men in me, thanks.     < eyeroll >    I could have followed that one up with the OBVIOUS follow up question, but I'm trying to be a genitalman ...  errr  gentleman ...      (actually, I've always thought of "woman" = "woe-to-man"   hmmmm )

Dacula no "r"

Heh.  There's no comparison to what I did last weekend to what she did.    I did a sprint triathlon (300m swim / 13.8 mi bike / 5K run)  My goal of doing a full in Florida, Arizona, Kentucky or Wisconsion is on my goal list and my ULTIMATE goal of doing the Ironman Championship series in Kona, Hawaii is the big daddy of all my goals.   What I did last weekend was approximately 1/8 of an ultra distance Ironman event.   I'm doing a quarter Ironman in a couple weeks and will probably do a half by the middle / end of the summer. 

What she did is impressive.  The full Ironman course is a  2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike followed by a full marathon.  14:19 is a VERY respectable time.  

In all fairness she does have a 3 year start on me though. :)   I guess I'll have to read the whole thread because by that couple sentances she does seem a little ****y.  I guess I will be ****y too after I finish my full course.  I DID lose more weight than her though so there!   That's my ANGLE!  :)

 thanks for clearing that up, Chad ..  I thought something was amiss with 14 hours vs. 1 hour!
