One could only hope. But what's a better deal, this, or something cheaper like a PowerTap? What power meters do you all use if you have one? I don't use one and really don't understand how they are used! I just moved up to HRM! One step at a time! The nice thing, though, is that I do get power info when I go to the cycling studio. Like this morning, I was watching cadence, heart rate and watts. This can be as easy or as complicated as you want it to be. |

Originally posted by mcmanusclan5 Originally posted by jmkizer It's a good thing neither Chris nor Ann-Marie are spending a lot of time swimming these days! Stay out of the water! Yuck... At least I made it out of Mass Bay just in time - a 14' GWS was spotted this week right where I've been OWSing my whole life (and as recently as last month)! Too many seals lately - they've killed (literally) the Striper and Blue fishing and attracted the GWS's from down Cape into the bay. All I saw at Barton Springs this morning was a big azzed turtle and some good sized (but fat and happy) feesh - oh, and some hippies... Matt ETA - or CROCS!!! Holy carp... I STILL haven't made it to Barton Springs for some early morning swimming... just how chilly is it? Will I need a wetsuit? |

Any updates from Kristen? How's she doing? She did not finish due to medical issues - dropped out at mile 20 of the bike and went to the hospital. She is currently in an air cast and on crutches making her way back to Richmond to get an official diagnosis. Looks like she is going to try IMMD next year. Ouch! I figured that it was something pretty significant. She's definitely in my thoughts! |

I did it. I was hot and grumpy, but at least I got out of the house for a little bit. I should have turned off the run/walk intervals on my Garmin. The first walk interval came up and I could have kept going, but once I heard that buzzer, my legs just stopped. Have to fix that for today. Go you! |

What's even worse is that a CROCODILE attacked 2 swimmers in Miami!! Florida crocs are very rare and this was the first ever attack, but shesh, it's just something else to worry about. They think he was about 11ft long! Of course, the idiots went swimming in a canal known as a croc habitat at about 2:30am, so I can't feel too badly for them So pretty much, the Gulf Coast is safe but stay out of the Atlantic if you are in Florida? Hmm. 2:30am swimming in croc infested canal. Sober? Maybe not, huh? |

Nope. The gulf coast has the double whammy of sharks and alligators. Recently a 15 feet 2000 lb alligator was caught in a marsh along the coast. Hmm. 2:30am swimming in croc infested canal. Sober? Maybe not, huh? |

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2014 v.2 thread2 CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) Sorry I've been a bit MIA lately been busy at work and home so haven't had time to get much of my manatee fix. I have also really struggled with my hay fever and sleep for the last 3 weeks which has messed with my training because I'm feeling so tired I just can't be bothered. I find it so frustrating to I am so inconsistent with training. 25 years ago I could go to bed at midnight and get up at 5am swim 3-4k a day then go to school, go to basketball training, or swimming again, then ride home and study and it was all so easy. Now it's a totally different story. Anyway enough of my pity party, next week I am away all week for work so there won't be much training happening, unless where we are staying has a gym (must check that out) but once I get back then the plan is back into it. Oh and by then it will be spring so the sun might be up before 6:30am and it might rain only every second day. |

Wish I swam like one… It's 69 or so consistently - maybe 70 on a warmer one. Lots of folks in wetsuits, but majority are just in jammers/speedo suits. I love the water there - cool but not cold, clear (if you're there early), fresh. Manatee swim! PM me if you have a morning when you can go. I can get there early or at a reasonable time (drop oldest off at school early - 0645 - for band, and it's only 10' from there). It's sooooo nice - DOOOOOO EEEEEET! Matt |

I asked them about it and then sent them a cue sheet. Phone conversation: Mom: "What are you doing this weekend?" Me: "I'm riding and swimming on Saturday and then I have a ride and a run on Sunday." I then emailed the cue sheet for a 106 mile ride. My mom was like, "That's a pretty long ride." I called them at 4:30 on Saturday when I was done with everything because my mom had wanted to go for coffee. She was like, it's too late for coffee. hahaha. |
