Wow, I can't believe that 24 hours from now I'll hopefully sitting down with Tribabe and Gordy for a nice reunion dinner. I've got less than 5 more hours of work until I'm officially on IMAZ voly and cheer vacation. Whoo-hoo, as you all know the last week has been very stressful and filled with worry, punctuated with some real emotional highs and lows. So glad to still have our home, so sad that 170 other familys in our town do not.

Fisch,

Healing vibes coming your way buddy, I was thinking of you this morning, be a good patient and heal up properly. If you have any pain meds left over rumor has it that suFe is often willing to dispose of them for you.

bt,

Glad to see you back posting. Take it easy and heal up completely. Hopefully you won't need the vicoden too much longer and can move to less upsetting pain meds to keep you more comfortable yet still able to function with out pain.

I'll cheer especially loud for all the Goldrushers who are at the cyber party. Working Kayaks for the swim and Security for an afternoon into the evening shift. I'll be available for Gordy and any other Goldrusher who needs a Sherpa from 8 PM on.

hello from sunny Tempe...we arrived on Tuesday night...too late to meet Jen as we were stuck in security....a full 747 and immigration had 3 desks open...and as of last month they need whole hand prints...this was difficult for me as I can't put my hand flat !!!!

Gordy is very laid back...just gone for a massage...he picked up his race day wheels so he has a very cool looking bike !

He as had a couple of trips to Gordon Biertsch so he is ready to race......he swam this morning so I went for a short run..felt good.

Saw Trimom at registration and finally hooked up with Jenny Lou...we will be at swim in the morning and looking forward to having dinner with the Flyfamily !

Fisch...do you want me to send some ice cream from Coldstone Creamery?.now be a good patient and take your medicine.

bt..heal well and take it easy.....

wil keep your informed of our new soon-to-be Ironman !

I just wanted to take the time to say thanks for everyone's prayers and well wishes. I haven't been that scared in a very long time and it was nice to have our friends there supporting us. We are still dealing with a lot of smoke, especially last night and this am because the dew set for the first time since the fire. The kids are complaining of the smell burning their noses and throats. A friend of ours lost their home, so we are trying to do what we can to help out. Fortunately they have very good insurance and will rebuild. Again thanks so much for being good friends.

Can't wait to leave for Tempe tomorrow. We are looking forward to seeing everyone!

Yeah but the forecast changes a wee bit for tomorrow. See link above for the brutal truth about Denver weather in November.

I actually enjoy the cold weather, especially at elevation.

FYI I think I am definitely out for Sunmart.

Yesterday at 08:30 AM IP: 64.15.110.234

Maybe I should go ahead and post those pictures of WJ in the final miles of Lean Horse to dispell all these rumors of his super-human strength.

But that would be mean and I'm trying to be more sensitive these days.

Prefect weather in Denver right now. I ran last night in shorts, temp a balmy 66 degrees which is amazing for Denver in November.

Tribabe, Gordy:

Glad you are in Tempe, can't wait to watch imlive on Sunday. I gave FlyBoy orders to allow you to steal his phone and call me on Friday or Saturday (not tomorrow - I get knocked out at 9:30 for the surgery!)

Everyone going to Tempe, have a blast. I'll miss being there.

Have a great day!

Josef,

I'll keep my fingers crossed that your repairs held for your jacuzzi. Have an Alexander Keith's for me buddy.

Jen,

Say hello to the English when they get there. We'll be driving over Friday, hopefully arriving in the late afternoon.

Does anyone have any plans for a Goldrusher get together? We have a voly meeting Saturday morning at 9, so maybe lunch on Saturday if that isn't too close to race day for the competitors.

Safe travels to those who are enroute or will be shortly. If any of you come to Tempe by way of LAX drop me a line and I'll meet you at your gate.

As was posted earlier, we were allowed back into our house at about 5 PM on Sunday. I returned to find that the house was fine with the exception of very minor smoke odors inside and a little ash. We were incredibly lucky. Thank you to everyone who kept good thoughts and prayers for us, it is appreciated more than I can express. We are truly blessed to have such a great group of friends. I appreciated the calls, texts, and encouragement that I received, again, thank you.

bt,

Take care of yourself girl, healing vibes coming your way.

Fisch,

I'm with Windjunkee, having you lose the weight of those teeth seems like an unfair advantage, I'll have to report you to USAT for a ruling. Good luck on Thursday and heal fast. We'll miss you in Tempe.
