More Props

Boy, this is fun. What's more, traffic on the site is at an all-time high. Ok, more props to those who participated:

-- My main man and former training partner Payro, ran 9 miles and biked 70, to overpower Jeff in winning the "most nutty" category. Way to go, Kid.

-- My brother Scott and my father played tennis for an hour. That counts too as it got them active and outside. Question is: who won?

-- My new hero, Hope Gelbach, finished her first Half Ironman -- in an incredible time too I might add! Hope was the one who motivated me to do this race; thanks for that Hope and incredible effort on your part. You should be really, really pleased with your performance. Now here's the million dollar question: we going to do it again next year?! Chalk up 70.3 miles to Hope: 1.2 swimming, 56 bike and 13.1 on the run (and that last .1 is a doozy mind you as it a beach finish). I have some pictures of Hope and I that I will post tomorrow when I get back from LA (note to self: try not to book early morning flights the day after a half ironman.

-- Former collegue and good friend Kristie Heins Fox ran four miles on Sunday and hiked a big old mountain in Colorado on Saturday, which also counts for something. Kristie has bad kneees, so I know that running is an effort for her. Thanks much K -- you are the best.

I have to run to a meeting but there are a few others as well, which I will post this evening, including JT's daughter Nicole, Lana B (way to be out there yesterday Lana! Same too to Seth. That was awesome), and last but certainly not least, the inimitable Crazy Mama!
