YESTERDAY (or since I last checked), a slog-worthy addition was made to the women's field -- IRONMAN WORLD CHAMP CHRISSIE WELLINGTON! MOST exciting... and Rebeccah Wassner, who is also racing, recently cleaned up in a stacked St. Anthony's field. ooOOOoo
SO - GAME PLAN for next wkd's race. After meeting Chrissie at the pro mtg, I will introduce my dad to her to MAKE SURE he knows he is to photograph HER during the race... more likely I will just stare at her w/ mouth-gapping expression. Continuing, I will, fingers crossed, swim as if I were in a pool (decently) so I can experience first-hand, Chrissie blasting past me on the bike and document experience with helmet-mounted camera.
Yikes! That's a STACKED pro field. Thankfully you all start 5 minutes before open, so I don't have to worry about being passed, she is going to SMOKE me.
ReplyDeleteI just saw that this morning too. Should be an interesting pro race!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou can hold her off!
ReplyDeleteHelmet camera - AWESOME!! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Matt should fly out for this race to film the pass or "the hold off!"
ReplyDeletewhatever.
ReplyDeleteGood race today, Lindsey. You had Chrissie right in your sights... just a 90 seconds off her time.
ReplyDeleteYou looked great out there girl! I kind of lost my sh*t when Chrissy passed my waterstop. At least I made her laugh, but I think she was a tad bit scared...I just screamed "Chrissy!!!! Chrissyyyyyyyy!!!!!" in a weird, high-pitched voice. I think I might have chased her for a while...but I don't remember.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, great work out there!
