The blisters started on the bike. Hotter asphalt, feet swelled, blister happened. Last year I lost 6 toenails, but 0 blisters, this year 1 toenail, but evil blisters. Same shoes. You just never know what you're going to get, luckily none of it hurts until afterwards. <br /><br />What a fun post, I am really excited to be part of your progress going forward!goSonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06748893144293913815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325532016786910647.post-57544539510544368602011-10-17T15:26:13.072-04:002011-10-17T15:26:13.072-04:00OMG, those feet!!!!!

I agree...OMG, those feet!!!!! She is badass, wow!<br /><br />I agree with you about the 12-IM WTC thing. It is a great way to recognize loyalty. No different then a frequent flyers program or a points system on a credit card. <br /><br />However, if I ever got to 12 IM's without qualifying the old-fashioned way I probably would not want to get in this way. Oh, and I have never registered for the Kona lotto either (-:Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325532016786910647.post-51583851750450898202011-10-13T20:26:20.028-04:002011-10-13T20:26:20.028-04:00Love your comments about WTC...I just wonder when ...Love your comments about WTC...I just wonder when people will start to say enough is enough!!<br /><br />Also...I didn't know you were coached by Sonja.

I won't do either unless I qualify, which wouldn't be until I'm 60 and at that point, people in my age group will still be beating me so it might always be a pipe-dream!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771758178064698651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325532016786910647.post-16117834124175201922011-10-13T16:40:47.614-04:002011-10-13T16:40:47.614-04:00You might have me to thank for the WTC 12 finishes...You might have me to thank for the WTC 12 finishes and you are in Kona ruling. I emailed Messick and gave him several suggestions on mixing up the lottery of which this was a variation. He actually thanked me for my suggestions, didn't know he would act (I am sure other old guys wrote him too)<br /><br />And since I am approaching 60....<br />Only 7 races to go..<br /><br />And, I am going to coach the coach here... zero blisters since starting to use Sportslick. One quick 15 second application at T1 and no blisters.<br /><br />Now if she could teach me to go 10:07 I could skip the 12 step ruling.....ONEHOURIRONMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618244547263041741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325532016786910647.post-51471745113806218542011-10-13T14:48:06.631-04:002011-10-13T14:48:06.631-04:00i don't even know what to say about those feet...i don't even know what to say about those feet but ouch and well earned!
