Master  9705     Raleigh, NC area |  Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Part deuxOriginally posted by melbo55 Thank you everyone for your tips and thoughts on power meters. I think it was MS Matt who mentioned it is worthless without someone who will read it - I agree. I was looking toward the future, not my current situation. Speaking of my current situation, I'm in the process of deciding if I'm dumping my coach starting in June. This is causing some apprehension as I have a HM mid-June I'm training for, not to mention events in July-Oct. I've got some thinking to do on both coaches and power meters! I have the impression that you haven't been happy with your current coach for a while. I hope that you work something out. As we've all said, you're worth it! |

It makes me laugh sometimes when I finally hear a Manatee speak, like the first time I heard Yanti's voice totally threw me. I'm still waiting to hear Janyne voice. I won't humiliate myself by telling you what I think she sounds like Originally posted by mcmanusclan5 Warning: the below might seem like self-horn-tooting (so feel free to just pass on by), but it's really about how lucky I am to work at a great place. Not tri related, but thought I'd share... My company just tweeted this from the Cancer Research and Prevention Institute of Texas (CPRIT), from whom we have and are just finishing a grant to use next generation sequencing (NGS) to diagnose and direct treatment in cancer. Only a part of what we do, but a fun part. I'm very lucky to be able to work someplace where the product is good ONLY when it helps people. Having been personally affected recently, it's even more weird/great to work on this stuff (we are hopefully about to have the first FDA cleared test in blood cancer, in addition to the NGS products above, and that's from what my mother recently passed). Sorry if it seems like bragging or such, but there aren't many groups of folks with whom I even CAN share something as geeky/goofy! Matt OK, I understood about 10% of that, but you have a great job at a great company! Not the voice/accent I was expecting.  Good work on the cancer front though. Now I'm scared! |

| 812 Katy, Texas | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Part deux Originally posted by rrrunner So for TJ's lunch and learn I am going to talk about some military related holidays (in the US) and such... We recently had Armed Forces Day. It's the third Saturday of May and honors active military. Memorial Day, as most know, is the last Monday in May and honors those fallen in the line of duty. Veterans Day always falls on November 11 and honors those who have served in the past. Some of you may have seen the Blue Star Moms flag, it is flown by Mom's who have a child serving in war time. If there is more than one star on the flag that mom has more than one kid serving. A gold star mom is something I never want to achieve. She has lost a child in battle. My eyes fill with tears every time I see this flag. Thanks for reading. "Happy" Memorial Day all. Thanks for this TJ.  |

I have the impression that you haven't been happy with your current coach for a while. I hope that you work something out. As we've all said, you're worth it! Yeah, and if you end up getting that power meter (and I think you already have a trainer?), then I'd recommend getting a trainerroad subscription and just doing one of their plans. They've got triathlon specific ones with run & swim workouts too, plus the awesome bike workouts. And you can pick your volume for each plan too to really tailor it to your needs. I just started on there this week and I'm already amazed at how it's pushing me much more than I used to push myself, and I thought I was working pretty hard before. edit: Plus, the main trainer/workout planner for trainerroad replys to all training planning/succession question (or really any question) you have on the trainerroad thread on slowtwich. Pretty cool! Edited by Jet Black 2016-05-27 9:27 AM |

I have the same ID as here on all of the above. At work, they are trying to get us more involved in SnapChat (think connecting with 4-H participants, etc.). That app is a PitA. I'm jmkizer-snap on that one.

. Just look at how you shared info about power meters, traveling in Asia, etc. Can we look forward to hearing about Mooloolaba?| 2016-05-27 9:36 AM in reply to: rrrunner |

One of my nephews keeps telling me I need to get on snapchat, but all I know about it is he will take pictures of us doing something stupid together and snapchat it to somewhere!! |

On a somewhat happier note, many military moms wear R.E.D. on Friday to signify remember everyone deployed. I can usually be found in red on Friday and usually accompany it with my anchor earrings |

I can usually be found in red on Friday and usually accompany it with my anchor earrings Thank you so much for sharing this information. I love reading about traditions of this country. I heard about wearing red t-shirt on Friday. I used to listen to DreX in the Morning Show on the radio and DreX always had a red shirt on Fridays. Kudos to all military moms. I think it takes a lot of strength, patience, and faith. And probably some other things that I cannot even imagine.... |

You are definitely not in the post only when there's a problem camp Omg Karen I found your posts so full of knowledge, experience, advice, tips, do's & donts', and anything else.... WHat I like the most is that you don't respond in a tone of the technical book, but you speak from experience and give examples from your own life: examples of what did not work - and how to make it work, and not try it at all lol - and what worked out perfectly. |

IR vs DL (I actually said it out loud to get the sense of pronunciation). I think for me it's easier to say DL-ers than IR-ers, but I like IR Edited by marysia83 2016-05-27 10:56 AM |

Hard days are not "moderately uncomfortable"! ETA: Should add that it's not really about burying oneself entirely with those. I'm trying to figure out how to better explain ways that things feel different with hitting some the hard workouts as high as I have been. Not just training benefits at that.

Master 6595 Rio Rancho, NM | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Part deux Coach Scott sent me an "intake form". A 15 page questionnaire about medical history, training background, etc. I'm sure I did one the first time I worked with him but I don't remember it being that long. Anyway, a couple of the questions: 2) When I have a bad workout, I: a) lament on FB, b) analyze the training data to look where things went wrong c) get back out there and do it again d) google, there must be an explanation e) take an extra recovery day, its not that big of a deal 3) What's blaring through your earbuds before a race? a)"Happy" by Pharrell b) a voicemail from my coach reviewing the race plan c) "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC d) Nothing - I like to find a quiet place in transition, close my eyes and visualize e) a recording of my children singing and laughing
And the questions go on. It feels like an athletic dating site

I am vastly improved compared to last weekend, so all the healing Manatee vibes must be working. IR vs DL...doesn't matter to me. I just wish we didn't have to have the list at all.  And TJ - thank you for the lesson. I'm ashamed to say I have family and friends that serve and still never seem to keep the observances straight in my head. |

Wow, that's in depth, for sure. Those are the kind of questions that leave me paralyzed, and then forever questioning if I answered "right" or not. Good luck! |
