So Eagleman Half Ironman Triathlon. 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run… 70.3 miles ….. didnt go exactly as planned... however.. t he weekend did start off great.. On Friday, June 11th...I with the bikes in tow.. drove to Indian River, Delaware to spend Friday night with mom and dad in the camper. A welcome surprise was that my brother, his wife, and my three darling nephews would be there too….sweet…. I got to admit, the sleeping accommodations needed some work.. my brother in his intimate wisdom pitched a tent for he and his beloved for their anniversary… yeah… and the three darling nephews had to stay in the camper with the parents and myself... of course the littlest one, the five year old, wanted the top bunk.. I got the bottom bunk.. the other two the pull out couch and table…sometimes you just KNOW when things are not a good idea.. SMACK… I promptly smashed my head on the too low clearance between the top and bottom bunk.. “SHIT!!”…. The quietness of the room and the lit...

Hi… will be heading to cambridge this weekend to compete in the Eagleman Half Ironman Triathlon (1.2 swim, 56 bike, 13.1 run)… This will be Joe’s first Triathlon and it’s a big one…our training has been less than optimal this year for various reasons, but I have to tell you, he looks good and I expect him to finish with no problems… but its such a big race that I have to warn you (as you all know what happen to me not making swim cut off at Columbia Tri), that things may not go as planned.. We both are competing… and its should take around 6-7 hours.. 1.2 mile swim 56 mile bike 13.1 mile run ****Its suppose to be 90 degrees and humid The swim is in the Choptank River, which is saltwater and can be very choppy at times, although I have lucked out last two years and its been fairly calm, there are jelly fish, and the bike course is very windy, and the run course NOT shaded. It’s a VERY tough course and Im proud that Joe is even attempting it… Race is this Sunday, June 13th… his wave st...

June 6, 2010 – Bear, DE 1/4 Mile Swim~10 Mile Bike~2 Mile Run http://www.piranha-sports.com/Race86.aspx 4am is just WAY too early.. for A LOT of things.. especially on a day off....but nope, me no learn, “Oh look Wendy, lets sign up for a race at the crack of dawn... on your day off… and make sure it's far enough away that you have to get up extra early to get there!!! I must have frontal lobe damage, because I actually pay$$ to do this... because.. I can? This will be the second year that I am doing the DiamondGirl Triathlon in Delaware, in which I sweetly called a “Baby Tri” (Please note, this is not to make fun of anyone doing this particular tri or any tri, as I have the highest respect and admiration for anyone who attempts a tri), but I call it a baby tri because once you swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles and run 26.2 miles.. to swim only a quarter mile, bike 10, and run 2.. well you get the point.. So my wave is set to go off at 7:50am….its 78 degrees with 8 mph winds… by the...
