Ok, just a short post. After I did IMAZ I did a post about a letter of concern from my mom. Essentially she was worried about the fact that I became very dehydrated and ended up having some trouble. She wondered why anyone would do an Ironman and especially why anyone would do more than one. It was suggested that she may better understand the whole Ironman culture if she were to come and see me race so I went ahead and presented her with the following deal.
I offered to fly her and my step-dad out to Louisville to come watch the GEEKGRL and I run the inaugural Ironman Louisville. Mama Baboo thought about it a couple days and just called me and accepted. So…I’ve made hotel reservations for them at the headquarters hotel, the Galt House Hotel and Suites. I also suggested that they start training for a day full of spectating.
So it is all set, August 26th me and the GEEKGRL will run the inaugural IMKY and Mama Baboo will be watching and soaking up the Ironman atmosphere.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words you posted. I have been a silent reader of your blog (and your wife's) for quite some time and I must admit that you are quite an inspiration to your fellow clydesdales. Your mental and physical toughness, along with your accomplishments are something to be proud of. I have learned a lot about endurance sport nutrition and training habits from your blog and I thank you. If I am ever in your neck of the woods, it would be an honor and privelidge to run a race with you. You would beat me like a bad habit but it would still be fun.
