Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's Manatees Mentor Group--FULL!

Soooo... my swim and run volume has been down a lot due to my illness and the new job.  I really wanted to register for a race in June, even if I felt a bit unprepared I figured it was a good way to get myself back into the routine now that I'm feeling slightly better and work should be calming down. 

Ummmm, I went to the website.  I read all of the information (that I already knew).  I looked at hotel information.  I looked at the entry fee.  I was reminded how stupidly excited I was last year about having my name on my bike rack and bib #.  And then?  I closed the window and didn't register.  WTF? 

I am not worried about a DNF or DFL... I realized I am concerned about a DNS, almost like I'm "tempting fate" and risking getting too sick to race if I go on and register.  How weird is that????  I swear I haven't even been drinking!

Mila - I don't think that is weird at all - it is completely understandable and totally human (yes, I'm sorry to say it, but we are all mere mortals)

What distance race were you looking at?  I am doing the Sprint at Callaway on June 22. if that interests you.  That is something you could certainly prepare for and it is an easy drive down from our area.  It is a pretty low key event so even if you are not 100% then you will do great.

If that doesn't look good then ...hey...you can always take up drinking

You all are full of such great ideas!!!

Calloway's a fast race, Steve.  You will have a blast and likely crush the course.  Giddyup!

I have a huge support system that I'll be racing with (once I register ) and it's actually not about the distance... if I'm well enough to race that part won't matter.  We will have tons of people racing and at least 40 volunteers from my tri club.  I signed up to volunteer at the Expo. so I could leave myself available to race.

Right now I've given myself this deadline:  register before the price goes up and before they can no longer guarantee personalized bib #s.  I have my priorities, you know.

yogus - 2008-05-01 2:23 PM I have a pretty good motivator, if only for my stretching. May I introduce my stretching/home workout buddy, Skittles ETA: Woot, it worked. It's hard to see her in this pic, but she's pretty tiny anyway. Also, does anyone know how to upload pics into logs? Do you have to be a performance member for that?

When you enter info into your blog, does your menu look like this?



Umm how do I get my page to look like that

Go to your control panel. Almost at the bottom is a box that asks you if you want to use Rich Text Format in blogs. Click yes and it shall appear.

Yes! Those are great! I love pictures out here. I was just reminded by the photo people from my last race (October) that if I didn't get them they were going away. So I pulled them down and put them in my album. It felt pretty funny to put in pictures from seven months ago, but that's all I got. I guess I could put in some X-ray's or MRI's but they're not that exciting!

What, 'cause you know HTML?

JEFF! Don't tantalize us with promises of pictures and not post them. That is just WUDE.

Mila ... you are so lovely and yes, sorry to say, beautifully human. Amazingly, powerfully, gloriously, womanly, pinkishly HUMAN.

IMO race fees are an excellent investment in motivation to train ... no matter what happens on race day or even during training. It's a continuous spark plug, anyway.
