For those of you Team Preddy-ers out there. Oh, let me digress, I won’t be long. The whole family went out to eat the other night. Mom wanted to know what you call a person from Idaho. She kindly asked the waitress:
mom: so you’re from Idaho right?
waitress: Sure am.
mom: so what do they call you?…. (pause)
do they call you Ida -Ho (pause whole family gets a little nervous) – ans?
yeah, Idahoans?
waitress: yeah, that sounds about right (as the whole family wipes the sweat off our brows thinkings she was going to leave it at just Ida-HOS or take it one step further with Ida-Ho-Ers — seriously say it outloud, say it with a slight southern drawl — does not sound appropriate.
Anyways. For all you Team Preddy-ans out there, I want to let you know that you can actually track kelly along her race. All you have to do is go to www.ironman.com and go to the ‘live coverage.’ Then you can type in her name or her race number which is 2080. This live coverage should allow you to see her times as she passes various checkpoints, and there’s also a live video feed of the finish line that you can watch her strut across.
The race is tomorrow and Kelly is all prepped up and ready. She’s got all her race and special bags packed and ready to be dropped off in just a short while….
Putting the final touches on the gear, equipment, and nutrition

I demand an update! How was it? Was it agony the next day? How is she feeling now? Did she sign up for next year, or swear she’ll never do another one?
