It's official, I need to get back to a routine. I also need to get back to some recovery training.
I stayed up partying with the neighbour until 5:15 am last night. That's late, even for me.
When I woke up, I could feel a nice cold sore coming on and my calf's are on the verge of cramping. When my calf's want to cramp, it's a major signal that I'm dehydrated. I'm not surprised.
I got some great news today, Simon signed up for next years Ironman Lake Placid and Johan is close to registering. I'm pumped.
We're going to have a good group coming next year. Right now we have Derek, John P, Rodney, Simon, Mandy, Jamie and hopefully Johan. If I missed anyone, let me know. It should be a lot of suffering and post race partying.
Today was the first day that I looked at my race results. I also got my race pictures and tonight I put together an IMLP video of our trip.
I'm hoping I'm now back to my normal routine and can get back to not being behind on my blogging. Johan's been giving me a bad time about my blog not being up on time. It's forcing him to buy a newspaper. Poor Johan.
Oh, I also got a new donation to the TPPF. It came from a wonderful gentleman named John Fisher. Thanks John, you're now on the tote board. Also, let John be an example to all of you deadbeats that haven't donated, er, I mean fine people. Please donate now and donate often. I have a post celebration Kona party I need to pay for.
As crazy as this sounds, and it's rarely said, "I'm beer-ed out." My first Keg is pretty much empty, it look less than 24 hours. I'm back on the beer wagon, at least until we go to Jamie's to watch UFC on Sunday night.
The stats for IMLP were as follows:
45 - 49 Age Group

Run - 3:37:47 / 8:19 per mile pace (15 AG / 150 Overall)
T1 - 5:51
T2 - 2:44
Overall - 10:20:18

B., I love your pictures, especially #6, the one with you getting ready to give high fives. It just shows how much you enjoyed the race.
I also just got my pictures today. I am going to post mine on my blog somewhere next week.

Thanks for being back on time again, haha

They weigh you? I didn't sign up for that shit.
LOVE the pictures and video. The picture of the swimmers all together scares the shit out of me. I am psyched.
Nice wiggle when you are walking to registration.
10 hours and change! killer time! are you from the NYC area? im gunning for my first full IM next fall if not sooner.
that's a seriously good marathon. Well done!
Alright, first things first... another major congratulations on the Kona slot.
Loved the video it was a great recap of your race experience. Carlos is a riot man.
I was shocked at the pics man, Reid's face looks thin! Man all that hard work paid off for him. Hopefully he is continuing some sort of a program at least a few times a week, would be a shame for him to lose that base he built.
Alright, someone has to call you out... You look like a flaming homo in the picture where you are running up to give high fives hahah! You look like a ballerina getting read to do some sort of jump spin move! I never thought that a captain could look that feminine.
Congrats again, your hard work has paid off!
D, thanks. The pictures are worth a 1000 words. That's how I felt all day. It was one of the greatest day's of my life racing. Can hardly wait to see your photo's.
J, we aim to please.
M, hahaha, yup, you better call "Jenny". If you have any dirty clothes, bring it down to the washing machine swim. Kill two birds with one stone. haha. What wiggle??? That's how I walk. haha.
B, thanks. No, I'm from Toronto area. Good luck on your first IM.
V, thanks bro. Seven minutes faster and I would have qualified for Boston.
M, thanks. Hopefully Reid keeps it up, right now he's relaxing on the lazy boy and practicing to kick your A$$ at Call of Duty. I told him you're going to "give him a schooling" and he's looking forward to you bringing it on. haha.
I like the idea of a tutu for you. I can see it now, you coming down the finish shute with a tutu on and doing the ballerina spins. There'd be me on one side "saluting" the crowd and you on the other side "twerling" at the crowds. maybe with a sunflower wand as well. I can just see it. haha
And as a reward for your hard work, I'll even take you out for your favourite food, "Pizza Hut Pizza". No more "alpo" for you. At least not that day. haha
