and....... I'm sure you have everyone's curiousity now..... WHAT DOES IT SAY!!!

Yeah!! Those are my buddies!! The footage will be on King 5 tonight at 5pm!! How crazy!!

yeah...she's bad ass....I'm envious....

Found it! She's 26...my bad!! http://outside.away.com/outside/features/200312/200312_xx_11.html Triathlete Kona, Hawaii WHY SHE RULES: It was no big surprise when, at age 18, Lokelani McMichael (whose full name is Lokelanikuu'leimakamae) became the youngest woman to finish the Hawaii Ironman—a record she still holds. After all, she'd grown up watching the legendary triathlon pass by her parents' Kona surf shop and began volunteering as a race-day water patroller when she was seven. The real surprise? That she braved bike crashes, full-body jellyfish stings, and close encounters with tiger sharks to rocket through seven consecutive Ironman Triathlon World Championships in Hawaii—athletic cred she has put toward her latest multisport venture. As co-host of Adventure Challenge, debuting in December on HDNet, a new cable network that films only in high-definition digital format, McMichael offers onscreen instruction from enviable locales: surfing in Huntington Beach, paragliding in San Diego, and scuba diving in the Maldives. SAYS WHO: "Loke's an undercover athlete," says Adventure Challenge co-host and producer Tom Holm. "If you met her, you wouldn't guess she's such a fierce competitor. But after she kicks your butt, she'll joke around and drink a smoothie with you. She's very grounded." MEET THE ANTI-WAIF: "I've been told my muscles are too big for fashion magazines," says McMichael, who has modeled for Elle, Self, Shape, Esquire, and Nike's latest ad campaign. FORWARD SPIN: Her filming schedule is almost as grueling as her training regimen: Next year she'll sea-kayak in the San Juan Islands, climb Mount Rainier, and backcountry-ski in the Tetons. And in the far future? McMichael plans to compete in triathlons until she's 80. World record for the oldest woman to complete the Ironman, anyone? —KATE SIBER

hee hee..she's on my fridge....she's one of the top female tri-athletes....Adventure magazine did a huge spread on her earlier this summer. Yeah...she kicks ass! She competed and won (I think in her age bracket...not sure though) in the Hawaii Ironman!! She's only like 22 or something if I remember correctly. Yup...she's my idol!!

I'm voting for Sahale! OMG!! That is a super cute pup!! If you ever need play dates...let me know...My pup...Scooter Bug loves to play!!

sorry I missed it guys...looks like it was a lot of fun!! any re-runs planned??

question...and this is an honest question because I really don't know....what is the impact on the huge (international and national) commercial fishing ships out in the ocean? I mean..I totally agree with protecting our local waters here...but really?? Aren't the big ships the cause of most of the decline? I really don't know...this is just something I've heard as a counter argument against this. I'd love to know the response I should be giving.

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel sticking out of his pants zipper. The bartender says..ey mate....what's up with the steering wheel. The pirate states "aye Mate..it's driving me nuts"! Gawd...I love that one...yeah..I'm laughing at my own jokes!! HA!!!Love it!!
