I would have had an issue with this until I saw that it was on an AFB. I hate to say it, but I gotta agree. I'm sorry TJ, were you doing this one with DS1? I don't disagree with the decision but it makes me sad. This is one of my faves because it's on the base the run and ride are closed to traffic, part of the ride is along the airport runway (super cool), and it's a serpantine swim in a 50m pool. I also like it because it's Mothers Day so DH and the kid(s) come to spectate then we go do Mother's Day-ish things. No... DS1 isn't doing tri's... yet. Agreed. OK, so is the other son, ah man, I can't keep this straight. Which one is Yanti stalking? I think you are referring to DS2. Do you need a play bill? (I was going to say "dance card," but that didn't seem quite right.) |

Master 2770 Central Kansas | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) jmkizer - 2013-05-06 1:23 PM I noticed that there have been a lot of recent wetsuit purchases in the pod. I think that it's important to have some background on how wetsuits work. Sure they add buoyancy and that's handy (especially for certain adult onset swimmers) and the keep you warm but how exactly? Wetsuits works by keeping an insulating layer of water next to your skin. So wetsuit has to first get wet and you have to warm up the water before it protects you from the cold water. So, while they do keep you warm, you do still have that initial shock. It also means that if you have a chance to do a warm up swim, that it really helps to fully submerge and dooo eeet! Thanks, Janyne. I did some more poking around, and I found an OWS clinic about 70 miles from here this Saturday afternoon. I am seriously considering it even though I'll probably spend about three times as long in the car as in the water. lol |

Or you could do the Yanti thing and make your sherpa bring a thermos of warm water just to pour into your wetsuit. This is in addition to the thermos with hot chocolate, the bottle with cool water, the 2nd-breakfast, the pre-race snack, the post-race backpack, the ... well, you get the idea. Or I guess, pee in it (the suit). I am not doing that. Just saying. Not gonna happen. |

So jealous. I'll be competing on my big heave MTB, Trek 3900. It rolls, that's good enough. And remember having a strong engine (you!) is more important than what you ride. Admittedly, the bike does make some difference but rider power/ability totally trumps bike unless bike is 50 lbs. |

Ooooooooooh!!! Ricoooooo Suuuuaaaveeee Zackry what I was thinking! Riiiiiicoooooo Sexxeeeeeeeeeh. Is that an ISM saddle you have on him? Yep. Still trying to get the positioning dialed in 100% so I don't get chafed. The ISM cured a lot of my, uh, as TJ put it 'nether region' woes but I still get not-nice chafing where leg meets softer bits. In a way, I'll take that over the other issues I was having with my other seat! |
