Hey, here's TJ tolakson rockin' his version of the porn stach at IMAZ. So Rich can get an idea of what it might look like. AND prrof positive, it won't slow you down!
Pink Speedo for the run if you can't for the bike!!!
Beth- If you can't get the HIM swim under 38' AND execute like an EN ninja, then...you... should... maybe be Rich's personal assistant for the 5-7 days of IMWI? In a pink bikini?
hmm, as far as times... FWIW, I'm a decent swimmer (typically in the top third of the swim)... and my best HIM (only done 3) is 35 in good water conditions. I did Timberman in 38... and that was with choppy water, mean girls, and stopping to doggie paddle and chat with a guy on a jet ski as the scrum went by and I could get my head together...
I just did my first iron distance swim in open water in pretty good conditions (better than Timberman by far and not nearly as crowded) first loop was glass, second loop a bit choppy) in 1:17... which cut in half is about 38.
If you work as hard as you're planning to and see a coach, I think 38-40 is very doable!

I can do all the IMWI weekend in a pink bikini -- Four Keys Talk to Midnight finish? And I can be coffee fetcher/sherpa/assistant lady.

I volunteered in a previous thread that I shave my chest because the 3 or 4 hairs that would normally be there are too embarrassed to show themselves. If I have to grow a substantial mustache of any sort for Sept 2011, I'd have to start now... which might cost several SAUs. :-)

Since we have lot of ENBoys racing IMWI, maybe we can rock the pornstache as a team, if not the pink speedo?

Winning. Or relying heavily on my clear raincoat!
This is your bet, Mister.
Blond is a natural color :-)
