They sprung my Dad from the hospital last night and now he is at my wife's nursing home for cardiac rehab. He was the happiest guy around when I told him I was coming to pick him up and bring him back here and he would be with my Mom. For us we will get a little bit of respite and hopefully I can get my training back on track. That is fantastic news. I bet there is relief all around!Edited by ceilidh 2016-07-28 9:27 AM |

My niece's husband got on with Santa Fe PD so he is going to live with us for a while until she can get down here and they can get a house. Fortunately we have a guest room in addition to DS2's room (which I use for a workout room) but the guest room doesn't have a cable box! Fortunately nephew-in-law, hereinafter referred to as nephew, uses wifi on his playstation so he can take the room without cable 
. He's as big as DS1 so I will now be feeding not one, but two 6'3" 250#ish young men

I'm glad that you got to keep your pain cave. It's so nice that you are able to help out your nephew with this. Good stuff! |

| Master 10208 Northern IL | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Part deux Originally posted by Hot Runner Race report for Calgary is up. You probably shouldn't read it with hot coffee in your mouth if you want to visualize my snafus in T1 and T2. I always manage to transition with style! Pics may have to wait a few days owing to technical difficulties! Kind of feel like waiting on pics as they can make such a difference! Per you Ranking question, I believe IM takes the rank at that point in the race, so you were 4th place in your division at the end of the bike leg, not 4th fastest bike split. Looking over the race it would be 2nd out of the water. Lost 2 spots on the bike, falling to 4th place. Gained 2 spots back on the run getting back to 2nd. Make sense? I'm wondering if the wind is the real killer for you on the course. Heard that Canada had some blowing that day. Coupled with some otherwise more minor hills and they can seem a LOT bigger. A flat, normally fast Oly course by me had wind the second year and took me near 4 minutes longer in spite of near identical everything else (bike setup, power output, etc) and was much harder to get through as it was so much harder to just go. Fighting through the combination for such prolonged periods can really wear you down. Both mentally and what your legs felt on the run. From the map and the IM site vids, it looks like things were pretty wide open to keep blowing on you. |

| Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Part deux I'm regretfully back from the Adirondack region. Part of my heart stays there for sure, it's such a beautiful, special part of the world that I can never quite get enough of. It was great (and a surprise) to be able to meet up with Randee on race day! I wish we could've had more time to chat or do something together, but hopefully we'll get another chance some day. Maybe next year. Speaking of next year, as in September 2017, Lake Placid will now be hosting a 70.3...anyone? Anyone? It is extremely likely I will be signing up for it; I mean, what better redemption race than this in a place I love on courses I've trained on repeatedly? I just hope I get in, it seems to have garnered quite a bit of interest already. |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Part deux Aha--that does make sense--both for Calgary and Vietnam. There I think it said I was second, but I had the 4th fastest bike split--I think because I came out of the water with a big lead on some of the stronger bikers in my AG, and they never made it up. I'm pretty sure when I returned to T2 then, there was only one bike parked near mine. (We were racked by AG.) I almost dropped dead of shock at that point, and had only one thought, "She's out there somewhere. Run like hell!" Actually only missed first at Calgary by about five minutes. Might have nailed it with a bit stronger swim and/or run, and a smoother T1. But it is what it is--I gave it everything I had that day and dealt with the difficulties as best as I could. There was definitely some wind out there and much of the course was pretty exposed to it, but nothing catastrophic. There was probably a difference in speed (at same watts/RPE) of about 10 kph on the flats depending on direction. I think last year at Toughman it was closer to a 15-16 kph difference-there were stretches there where I struggled to control the bike. Bike plus me is probably only about 135 pounds, so crosswinds can make things interesting. I don't have hills to train on in Saigon; I do actually have wind. The "famous" industrial park where I do almost all of my outdoor riding is on the peninsula of a tidal river. |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Part deux Okay, here it is....proof of bling! Will try to post more pics in the race report. Fortunately there are no pictures of my "one shoe off, one shoe on" version of the "flying dismount" in T2. OMG this pic is way too big--but I don't know how to resize it--sorry!

Good luck and have a lot of fun. I thought I must have misread that Yanti is doing another ironman, but, nope, I read it right! ETA: The racery site looks pretty cool. I haven't explored it too much, but perhaps the free race with everyone making a donation. I only say that b/c my limited review of the site, it seems that would be the most cost effective -most money the cause solution. Edited by amd723 2016-07-29 10:07 AM |

Champion 10550 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Part deux Originally posted by Asalzwed Originally posted by TXTriRook Originally posted by Asalzwed He seems like such a character. Collecting clothes and licence plates as entry fees. Nuts! Opportunity is definitely one way to describe it. Apparently this documentary has really driven up the interest level but (for now) he's still keeping it to 30 or 40 participants. Gotta love the old school / not greedy mentality of this one. Originally posted by TXTriRook I just watched the documentary The Barkley Marathons, it's available on iTunes for $0.99. Does anyone know anyone who's done one of these? Awesome movie and very motivating if you haven't seen it. Just figure I share with the group given all the ultra/marathon talk of late. Hahaha I love the RD Gary Cantrell. I don't personally know anyone. It's a pretty select few that get the "opportunity" I previously had no baseline to compare Jared Campbell to. No elite status trail runners had attempted it to my knowledge. When Gary Robbins failed and wrote his report I now know how truly badazz Jared is. http://garyrobbinsrun.com/blog/2016/4/barkley One of Tony's co-workers from when he was working at Bloomberg asked to go and do a story on the Barkley Marathon before it became a documentary & said there wasn't enough money in the world that someone could pay him to make him attempt it!

Master 9705 Raleigh, NC area | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Part deux Originally posted by amd723 Originally posted by jmkizer Steve follow up: Any additional thoughts on the charity that we would like to use? Virtual event in his honor? We could set up something in Racery (http://racery.com/) and ask for donations (free race, ask for donations or paid race to raise money for our cause.) ETA: The racery site looks pretty cool. I haven't explored it too much, but perhaps the free race with everyone making a donation. I only say that b/c my limited review of the site, it seems that would be the most cost effective -most money the cause solution. (Non Steve stuff removed) Two thoughts on racery
Overall, though, I agree that a free race with a suggestion to donate is probably the way to go. |
