Master  7712     Orlando |  Subject: RE: Manatees - 2018 Edition Now CLOSEDOriginally posted by ceilidh Originally posted by kbhanson3 Originally posted by ceilidh I'm here! Wondering how our racers fared yesterday.... Anybody home? Well, this "racer" did okay. It was just a run for me. The day was absolutely perfect, sunny, cool to warm. I was not last, but pretty close to it. My times were un official because of some flaw in the timing chip. It made absolutely no difference to me. Of note, if I had decided to do the 10 K (that I had pondered) I would have been 3rd in my age group and gotten a wonderful mug. That was if I crawled the whole way. The best thing about getting older and smaller races. cmgratulations on the almost 3d place! Sounds like a perfect race day and a perfect attitude ! |

Ran my first 3 miles post recovery without any walk breaks and improved my pace a tiny bit. Things going in the right direction though still sloooooow. Waiting on my PT to finish so I can start hitting the pool. Didn't want to mess things up while that's still going on. Thinking about signing up for a super sprint mid April. Anybody home? glad to see you are recovering well! |

I was happy with my time, managing to shave 13 seconds off my course PR without having that as an intended goal (I've been doing this race series on and off over the past 18 years with a long no-racing gap in the early 2000s). My goal was just to have a solid race and to beat January's race time which was very low hanging fruit considering at that time I had just gotten back to running after being sick. I'm hoping to knock a little more time off for March's race. Plus the reason I do the race, chicken corn soup, was very tasty as always as was the newer perk, a free beer at Funk E-Town brewery. It was funny - Saturday we had close to 5" of snow but Sunday it warmed up so much that the roads were clear and mostly dry by race time (2 pm) and the temp was perfect, about 43*F and sunny. Excellent racing weather! |

I always am amazed when i see races that start later than 7:30! If we start any later than that in Florida we will die!! |

They tend to start races a little later in the winter months, say 8, 8:30, 9 so it warms up a touch. This race with its 2 pm start is an anomaly but I like it! |

I've done some races in NC mountains that haven't started until late morning or sometime in the afternoon, I like it b/c it generally means cool weather, but late also means a messed up day and some logistical concerns like eating! |

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2018 Edition Now CLOSED So my 10 year old neice has started running with my Mum and E. She liked our team turtle jumpers and thought if she started running that maybe she could have one too. We are taking it easy with her and limiting her to the short run days 3 days a week - so no more than 5k and doing run walk. She is up to a 2/1 split now. Mum said she can't keep up with her cause she is too fast. The other day mum rode her bike whil J ran and she let J wear her Garmin. Mum was complaining that J beat her 5k record and has messed up her stats She has started her medal collection (mum has signed her up for some short virtual runs) and she has the goal of blitzing the field at her school cross country race in September. She wants to be the first person in the history of the event to be able to run all the way up the massive sand dune (almost the entire run is in sand. I think it is 2-3k long). Any tips would be greatly appreciated. J also swims in the local swim club and plays tennis, but she seems to have really taken to running. She is even contemplating spending her life savings on her own running watch. So thank you Manatees your influence is reaching to the next generation.

Do you find it t be helpful when racing? I will be following this discussion with interest --- my coach emailed me on Wednesday asking if I would consider buying a power meter. I'm kind of torn on this, I think it would give me very good feedback and the people that I know who have one love their power meters. I'm leaning toward getting one but hate the thought of spending yet more money on a hobby. |
