That is the suck...you were kicking some ass out there!

I'm so sorry that happened. I was watching the radar and saying, 'Stay north! Skip Lawrence!'
I know it's not the point of the HIM, but 63 miles ain't nothin' to sneeze at. You kick ass in my book.

That sucks so bad. I'm so sorry! Boo!
Posted by: LeahC | June 15, 2008 4:20 PM
Booooo!
Well done in any case. Did they let you have the bling?
Posted by: LBTEPA | June 15, 2008 4:28 PM
Mmmm...yeah...that melt down you mentioned? I went into hysterics on K-10. Wasn't pretty. You were rockin' that shit out there. Hopefully the RD addresses folks soon. Apparently they cancelled the awards ceremony and a lot of the clearwater contention folks are flipping out.

Wow...serious bummer. :(
But...you know you can do the rest of it. So now you can join me (and a thousand or so others) mid-July at the IM70.3 Rhode Island. See problemo solved.

That completely blows. They'd better come up with something for people, because that's just not fair.
I'm so sorry! I was watching your times though and you were kicking ass!

So sorry. So very sad. Nice work to mile 63 though...

I feel you chica, I FEEL YOU!!! (Remember--same thing happened to me last year at my first HIM around mile 66???)
Best thing is to exact your revenge on 70.3 in Austin. Yup.

That sucks! Your times for the parts you were allowed to finish looked great! Not you are more prepared for the next one.
Posted by: Al Durham | June 15, 2008 5:20 PM
You were looking great out there, with a huge smile on your face every time I saw you. The worst thing, 20 minutes later it was no longer raining, blue skies!

That really sucks-you were really rocking the course.

OH NO!!!! :( AJ I am so sorry to hear this!!!
Posted by: Runnergirl Jennifer | June 15, 2008 10:01 PM
Oh man, that is super shit. My heart goes out to you on that.
Posted by: running private | June 16, 2008 4:27 AM
It was the day from HELL!
In case you didn't notice, I didn't even show up for the start. No, I was in the hospital at 6:45 in the morning - when I should have been at the beach.
I feel so bad for you and the rest of the field. BUT you got to do so much - more than you ever thought you could! And you're times looked great! I bet you still surprised yourself out there!
Posted by: andrea | June 16, 2008 6:13 AM
man, that sucks. I'm really sorry you didn't get a chance to cross that line. :(

Mother Nature can be a cruel heartless bitch!
Posted by: Bob | June 16, 2008 7:47 AM
No! That's terrible! I would have been disappointed for sure. I hope you get to exact revenge at another 70.3 event soon.

Posted by: warren | June 16, 2008 9:41 AM
I am so sorry. That is terrible luck. I completely understand your disappointment. You are still a complete badass in my book.
Posted by: aerorunnergirl | June 16, 2008 10:06 AM
OOOOOHhhhhhhh.... that suuuuuuucks! I was in Canada and missed all of this pre-race and race stuff.
10 MILES SHORT!
Sucks. Really, really sucks.
Then again - you KNOW you could have finished if they just let you.
