    Very important day coming up on 9/11.

    Not because it is my IM race this year.........

    Because 9/11 IS the day EN will overtake and pass the current 1st place Division one team....

    Yes, I said it, hold me to it, mark my words....

    Your IMWI peeps are ready, they have done the work, completed CAMP on the course itself are coming mentally prepared for the THE LINE..... BUT,

    Gonna need all the Mojo the larger EN team can bring on this day to get it done.......!

    SS

    I've got that familiar tension building! Have to welcome that. I love quotes:

    In case you aren't on the GROUPME or didn't see it - Team Picture will be at the bottom of the service elevator stairs at 630am

    Transition closes at 630 so if you leave by 620 AND DONT TAKE THE HELIX (use the stairs next to the elevator where the picture will be on the south side of the helix) then you will have enough time to walk down there, get a quick pep talk, take a picture and walk with everyone else towards swim start.

    Use groupme or text me personally if you have any questions. Once I finalize my spectating plan, I will post that here as well just in case.

    Cant wait to cheer you all on!

    Mariah and Rich will be at transition around 530am, team picture at 630am, swim start, bike mount (as close as I can get) - bike mile 16/56/98 intersection of waylen road and old PB (great place for families - have them search for Grey's Tide House) -- on the run we will be on state street bouncing around between mile 1 and 9 which is also mile 12 -19ish --- then behind the finish line and then we will have post race beers at coopers tavern - first one to finish starts that table! Coach R and I will split off on the run so you get extra mojo on the course. If you're not wearing an EN kit-- you might have to yell at me first if you happen to notice.

    Lots of early great work out there by the team. SS had a second bike split that was extremely un-SS-like. Hope he only had a flat and is back in the game.

    Tracker is really off - SS had a flat before the race started and luckily we caught it in time for him to go back to transition. Im at mile30 and haven't seen him yet which means he passed me before I got here. However I am noticing the tracker is taking FOREVER to update currently per usual. I'll go live on periscope in a few again if you're on there

    SS is physically AND mentally strong. He will manage the flat curveball.

    Apparently Teri got a penalty by the DNR for violating the No Wake zone in Lake Monona during her swim.

    Some smoking bike times and good starts on the run. Looks like some folks are doing to work for EN to hunt down that tri-club lead!

    Wow. And look at those crazy consistent run splits Frederick is putting up!

    Rich Stanbaugh, Todd Glass, and Teri Cashmere all look in with a chance to finish top ten. Teri might make podium with a strong finish to her run. Rich appears to be running at a very steady pace - maybe they put a metronome n when he had all those surgeries.
