IM WI - Photos




Monona Terrace on a gorgeous Thursday morning.
By the way the lady in the green top on the path is Andrea Fisher.



Bags Bags Bags


Ferrah all ready for a slumber party at the Monona Terrace.
Note to athlete #476, please rack your bike according to instructions.



Some of the bike transition zone. I didn't see another Felt F1C.




Mass swim start. Can you see me amongst the 2400 plus swimmers? I was just to the right of the black buoy to the right of the ski ramp to the right of the other black buoy to the right of the orange start buoy.



Nice view. Excellent product placement Ford.
(From Through th3 wall.)



Coming out of the water.



Enjoying my brunch.



One of the crazy bike spectators.
(from IronmanLive.)



Note to self: get aero.



Give me a helmet and some pads.



Not quite singin' in the rain.



If my race number looked like this, I wonder what I looked like at the finish.



'nuff said.

Dude, I loved that guy in drag on the hill! He was still there the second time I passed, too. I told him he was a "sight for sore eyes." :)He seemed to really like that.

No wonder they were calling you Ala! :) ha ha my race # looked pretty similar!

That was great. Your "note to self" was funny, and I hope Ferrah and Ol' Blue enjoyed the slumber party!

Nice photos! You'll have to learn singing in the rain may help lift your spirits. Great finish!

That's fantastic! Great photos. You should be so proud! The race conditions were harsh that day from what I hear. COLD!

You are hard-core. Racing right after an IM? Jeez. Definitely take some time to give yourself a pat on the back.

The pics made me homesick for my alma mater. The capital, the terrace, Lake Mendota (or Monona?), and Camp Randall. Sigh.

Great pics!

I tried to find you in the swim start pic... I really did. I even enlarged the circle you put in, but all I saw was some whitewash.
