I've decided to dedicate this last race to Margaret and Dawn at Splish is whipping me up this suit for next Sunday September 7th for Pumpkin Man 1/2 ironman in South Berwick, Maine. I want to thank Mel for helping me and inspiring me with her own designs for this suit.
Last weekend was Cranberry Country Triathlon in Lakeville MA. It's an international distance race and this year, chosen as the 2008 USAT Northeast Region's Club Championship. We as Team Psycho got first in our division and here's a picture of me being very modest upon receiving our certificate.
Team Psycho also supplied the cold hard cash for the top 3 male and female over all.
We do this at select races to promote our Elite Team Development Program. I got the job of handing out the checks on Sunday.Here I am laying out the love to the top male finisher that just happens to be on our team. Hugs Hugs Kiss Kiss. Not a bad job, eh?
Here I am containing myself in a more *professional* manner and not slobbering all over the 2nd place overall finisher who I didn't know
Hard to believe Labor Day weekend is here. You know what that means...
summer.. boo hooo is coming to an end.
To all my blog readers: If you are racing this weekend,
GET IT DONE! TIME IS MONEY! IF YOUR NOT SUFFERING,YOUR NOT GOING HARD ENOUGH!
....oh and good luck of course.

Great suit and those will be fun photos for Margaret once she recovers!
Have fun at Pumpkinman! I would love to do that one some day, the course looks unbelievable and I know the RDs are a ton of fun.. have a great one!
Yeah - Labor Day weekend means that 'cross season is here! Bring it on!
Lol. That second guy totally looks like he is leaning in for some love/upset about getting turned down with a very distant hand shake.
Good luck at pumpkin man!
Have a great race next weekend.
Thoughts are with your friend Margaret for a speedy recovery.
best..
I'm so sorry about Margaret. My daughter, Kaitlyn, had an anaplastic astrocytoma of the thalamus. It was inoperable, and she was given 6 months to live. She was 7 years old at diagnosis. It's a nasty, nasty cancer, extremely agressive. And they just don't know enough about these cancers to be really effective in their treatment. Quality of life also suffers from the treatment. My daughter was phenomenal; she fought hard, smiled and laughed often, hugged everyone she met, and she lasted another 22 months before finally succumbing to the cancer in February 2003 at the age of 9. I am sure your Margaret will do the same. We will send all our thoughts and prayers your way. -Dana
cool suit that Mel designed! I'm sure Margaret will love to see you racing in it. Cute pics of you handing out the awards and accepting the team one ;-)
Dana-
I'm so sorry about your daughter Kaitlyn. Thanks for sharing your story.There just isn't enough research going into this type of cancer because it's so rare. Margaret is still at Duke. She has a feeding tube and a trach now but is doing well enough that I think she can come back to Boston soon.
I like the suit e :) You are a awesome person and Margaret will love you racing in her name...so go and kick butt for her :)
ONE more race, oh man! I feel my season nearing an end too...
GREAT way to end the season with racing for someone else! Make it a good one!
