Back off man, I'm a scientist.: WWR Day 0: Stupid *&$%^& terrorists,
http://insertwittyteamnamehere.blogspot.com/2006/08/wwr-day-0-stupid-terrorists.html
Wednesday, August 16, 2006. WWR Day 0: Stupid *&$% and terrorists,. After crashing for our last full night of sleep for awhile, the four of us awoke and started pre-race preparations. The three of us girls all took ice baths (what can I say? She was awesome and totally stepped up to the plate to run 14 miles at the last minute. Did I mention she had a fractured elbow? When we went to sleep that night at 10, only 7 members of the team were actually in Fort Collins. Nerve-wracking? Yes, one might say that&...

Wednesday, August 16, 2006. WWR Day 1 (II): Okay, now we're really climbing. Van 1 (above: Teresa, Chrissy, Mark, Joe, Laurie, and Shaun) finished up after 27 miles and 900 foot net elevation gain (that is almost the elevation of Ames! Anyways, with a mile left, the girl from the Iowa Flatlanders (who started a half hour before us) started gaining on me. Her team was very nice and offered me water, although I had my own (to which they said "we have cold water! Next up: Full moon running. That would look ...

Back off man, I'm a scientist.: Holy crap. Less than three weeks.
http://insertwittyteamnamehere.blogspot.com/2012/02/holy-crap-less-than-three-weeks.html
Monday, February 13, 2012. Holy crap. Less than three weeks. My time here is Seattle is rapidly coming to a close. I actually haven't been running lately outside (I do intervals on the treadmill after doing weights at the gym) because I have been trying to squeeze in as much playing in the snow as possible before moving to Ireland! Skate skiing surely has to be an adequate running replacement! To answer Bertie's question - I'm actually stalled out at 55 minutes since I haven't been running. Tomorrow!

Back off man, I'm a scientist.: WWR Day 1 (I): The ascent begins.
http://insertwittyteamnamehere.blogspot.com/2006/08/wwr-day-1-i-ascent-begins.html
Wednesday, August 16, 2006. WWR Day 1 (I): The ascent begins. Of Fort Collins. Well, maybe at like 6am, we were all finally together at the start. After doing all the various check-in things, we were ready to roll about ten minutes before the starting time. And in a somewhat anti-climactic moment, Teresa and the seven other runners in our wave were off! Next up: The ascent really. Posted by Danielle in Iowa in Ireland. It was good times! You should totally do it! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 2006:...

Thursday, August 17, 2006. WWR Day 1 (III): Full moon running. As we were waiting at Exchange 18, our Van 1 arrived surprisingly early. And it occurred to me that there weren't any other Van 1s around. And apparently, this photo showing Shaun blowing past the competition shows why. Our Van 1 kicked some serious butt! As I noted before, I never take photos and the photographers in Van 2 haven't sent their photos to Joe yet, so all I have to illustrate these posts are mostly Van 1 photos.). Al did an aweso...

Back off man, I'm a scientist.: 55 minutes
http://insertwittyteamnamehere.blogspot.com/2012/01/55-minutes.html
Thursday, January 26, 2012. That's how long my next long run should be. This whole "10%/week" things is lame. So next time I have to run 61 minutes? And if you start from zero, how do you increase at all? 10% of 0 is. 0. But I shall be running none of that this weekend, as I shall be gallivanting in Whistler! I'm trying to smush in as much snow as possible before Ireland, as that is one thing Ireland is sorely lacking in. So much to do! Posted by Danielle in Iowa in Ireland. Have a good week end. Our lov...

Friday, December 14, 2012. In unfortunate running news, I effed up my knee doing too many double-unders and box jumps at Cross Fit and I have been out of commission for two months. It seems to be IT band. I have recently said "Screw it! And decided to start exercising again, but I can only run a mile before it starts to ache. So an April marathon is not likely, although I hope I can still do the half. All in the name of carb loading! Posted by Danielle in Iowa in Ireland. I need that enzyme! Team at the ...

Tuesday, August 22, 2006. WWR Day 2 (II): Please don't let me see another granola bar ever again. So, yay we finished! Don't make us wait for our lunch or this could get ugly! Halfway through my lunch, I transitioned from "eat" into "sleep" seamlessly, while propped up on my elbow over a half-eaten bowl of pasta. So, what can I say? I was the captain and I only knew three other teammates personally! And thus we all fit right in. Yay for science nerds! And as a tribute to our achievement:. Our lovely foll...

Back off man, I'm a scientist.: WWR Day -1: Where's the air?
http://insertwittyteamnamehere.blogspot.com/2006/08/wwr-day-1-wheres-air.html
Tuesday, August 15, 2006. WWR Day -1: Where's the air? I stole that tagline from the team that won our division. Anyways, I guess the best place to start is at the beginning! We got to Boulder and Mark and Teresa went for a run. I personally preferred to live in total ignorance of how much running at altitude was going to suck. As we watched the sun set behind the mountains we thought "Why do we live in Iowa? Next up: How terrorists fucked everything up. Posted by Danielle in Iowa in Ireland. Team at the...
