#331


If you aren't familiar with Ironman, this is an endurance triathlon 
Swim 2.4 miles
Bike 112 miles
Run 26.2 miles 

Natasha's Race Info

  • Race number: 331
  • Sunday August 21st 
  • Swim starts at 6 am. I will enter the water I think around 6:25 am. 
  • Transitions are around Independence Point. Finish Line is on Sherman, I believe at 1st Street. Might be 3rd street. 
  • Estimated finish time : 9 pm
  • There are Cut Off times through out the race. So if I disappear at some point unexpectedly I am either hurt or disqualified. 
---------------------------------------------

Spectator Tips

  • Swim: The swim is boring once all the racers are in the water, which will be by 7 am. 
  • Bike: The course runs 2 loops. Starts at Independence Point, runs up to Higgins Point, then back down onto 95, up 95 about 20 miles past Mica Grange. Turn around at Setters Rd. *This is where I was recently stung by a bee.*  I think I should be on my bike by 8am. 
  • Run: Is 3 loops, from around McEuen Park, along Sanders Beach, out to Silver Marina, and back to McEuen. 

Unless this spot is blocked off, I would suggest spectating around O'Shay's Pub - 313 E. Coeur D'Alene ID 83814. At this spot, you get to see both the bike and the run. If you are there, the second time you see me come back from Higgins Point riding toward Mica Grange, means there are roughly 3 hours until I start my run. You will see me run past O'shays/Golf Resort Entrance 3 times up and 3 times back down. On the 3rd time down, I will pass Oshay's and head toward the Finish Line on Sherman. I might be walking at this point. 

Finish Line: Estimated 9 pm

Part 1: My Big Brother Died

Death, Spiders, Tumblr, and Uncertainty Writing a blog post after my brother dies feels dumb. As though I am pretending the right words can bring him back. Or at the very least, make me feel like I can control my environment by writing about it.  The day after his funeral, my family and I flew to Africa for a 2 week trip.  So this post will have two parts: My Brother Died  and  All the Layers of Uganda [with the Cheeley vibes]  My Brother Died Zach was 29. As I write this, tomorrow is his birthday. I never thought he would turn 30... 2 weeks ago, I high-fived him and told him I was proud of him for making it this far. He chuckled, drank some wine and said, "Me too! Thank you!" He liked wine. I went to bed a few minutes later, after a brief conversation about his road trip with our grandparents and how much he freaking loved Sasquatch - Music Festival. He lived for music festivals. Especially Sasquatch.  That conversation...

Finding Failure #Feels

Thank you My effort has been pretty minimal lately. To those who read for amusement, insight, inspiration or a good life-reminder; thank you. To those who have read with the hopes of finding an insane author, a high level of crazy, and a potentially toxic level of self-doubt: I welcome you. Failure ? Change and transition consistently permeate my little corner. My feeble attempt to fight it and prove I can overcome my instinct to flee has been more difficult than I imagined. I think I failed. In the last year, I moved 5 times, dated 3 people (not all at once), tried to read 4 books, applied to 2 graduate programs & the U.S. Navy, and successfully created dinner I think 4 times. Maybe. I think I failed this last year. To review my goals: 2017 Goals ...

Freaks and slobs

There are two groups of people in the world: the clean people, and the slobs. The clean people are on their own spectrum, and the slobs are on their own spectrum. The two spectrums do not interact.
