There is just a little more to the story then the Holy Cripe factor. I actually received a called from a good friend of mine, who started out as a fellow racer and now is more then just a fellow racer, but a good friend, Dominick from Chicago. He told me that PQ registration was opening soon and we should put a bid in. I actually laughed and then said Holy Cripe! I immediately contacted another one of my fellow racers, who also has become a very good friend of mine, Tony from Chicago. He had always talked about doing PQ. It is a dream of his (maybe 2009, Tony). Both of these guys really, really wanted to do the race, but after long soul searching they both had family obligations that came first. That is one of many reasons why I admire these guys. They are such family men.  Once I realized they were unable to do it, we thought about next year. Well, that Sunday morning when registration opened, I logged on to my computer to see how it was going. I actually started filling out the application and thought that at the end it would ask me for a credit card for the deposit. It did not. All of a sudden it stated, “congrats, you just registered for PQ. Another Holy Cripe came out. I went on with my day, biking, running, kayaking. When I returned home later, I checked my e-mails and Holy Cripe, “Congratulatins, your application has been accepted.” HOLY CRIPE!!!!!  and the journey begins!!!!
