He also provides details on food and bathroom issues. But The Hammer's descending through fog description is very cool. (I agree "If you can read this, you're not going to Kona" would be a great jersey. Sleeveless, but club fit of course.) wharton_crew — My dog says you’re being a little harsh on FC.

I love the fact that you can comment on the surrounding scene (singing, clouds, moisture, temperature, AND how you felt about it all). All we get from Fatty is how badly he wants to catch the guy in front of him. :-) Lisa, great details so far!

Looking forward to rest of the tale. The last bit of the guy thinking the race was going to be decided at the beginning reminds me of Ironman Florida in 2009. During T1 you have to go through a wet slick concrete section through a hotel to get to the changing tent. Some lady was screaming for people to get out of her way through this dangerous area. She went out wide and ran hard into a fire extinguisher box. I remember somebody telling her as we went by, "You know, if you can see me, you aren't going to Kona." Ahh, good times. <blockquote>That would be an awesome thing to have printed on a jersey. - FC</blockquote> Great start to the story, Lisa! Looking forward to rest of the tale.

(carnage in the peloton!) Maybe it was just the camera/time of day, but your new FC kits look distinctly BLAZE-Red/Orange in that shot w/ the majestic pose w/ davidh...And Lindsey looks like she's preparing to DESTROY in that corral pic! (I'd surely be quite-afraid of her on the bike! You are BOTH quite a powerhouse on wheels!) Great story Lisa, keep it coming Fatty! <blockquote>The color oddness is my fault; in the original shot our faces are kind of silhouetted.
