david glover IS a genius.

i had never done a triathlon until august 2007 when i signed up for
irongirl. although i panicked in the swim, (for those who wonder - yes - you
can
backstroke an entire 1/2 mile) i loved it.
i talked to david about my swim panic and he gave me some good advice and
encouragement. next was reston 2007. i finished that as well and no panic.
so - i thought - why not an ironman? of course most of my friends thought i
was insane (in fairness - there could be other reasons they think that in
addition to my desire to complete an ironman). so - i asked david if he
thought i could do it. he was tremendously encouraging and told me if i was
willing to put the work into it - i could do it.
so - under david's guidance - my third triathlon was eagleman 2008 (it was a
tad warm) and then coeur d'alene ironman. it was an awesome experience and
one i will remember forever. i could not have done it without david's
mentoring and advice.

Doing a local 6k cross country race the week after my Savageman &
Chesapeakeman double is barely Kunkelian (maybe it's a Kunkel-ette)
Chesapeakeman
double is barely

1) David Glover had recommended I do some sustained, low cadence/low gear
efforts on the bike in preparation for IMFL. So, Friday evening I went out to
the one flat stretch of road in town and did a 10 mile time trial, keeping my
cadence at about 70 rpm's, and cursing David the whole time. I wondered if
David remembered what spindly little legs I have...these legs are made for
spinning, not mashing. But I had faith he could help me find my untapped power.

2) so, come the cross country race the next morning, I lined up next to two
young guys talking smack about their college conference meets and figured the
race was theirs--I wasn't going to have much in me the week after an Ironman
and twelve hours after the bike time trial. But these youngsters were all
bluster and were fading badly over the last mile of the challenging course. So,
digging deep, I thought about the untapped power lurking in my legs, and
overtook them to win the race. David is a genius :-) .

Hope everyone's weekend was as fun as mine.
