Got Your Mojo WORKIN'! group - CLOSED (Page 121)

Ellen, thank you so much for the donation. Look forward to seeing you at the race.

Steve, are you racing in the Nation? I know you were talking about it.

stevebradley - 2011-05-25 8:36 AM RACE PHOTOS, TOO The company that does the photos for this series always shoots many, many, many. Many. Manymany. So, if you want, go to www.zoomphoto.ca, and then click on Early Bird Tri/Du and Colonel By Classic (that's the run-only part of the day). Then for participant #, my bib number was 321. I actually like a couple from each running set (first batch were end of 1st run, copming into T1, second batch was approaching the finish). The bike ones are okay, but not too inspired. Do I look menacing in black?

My race photos make me look old and a little crazy........

George,

They always give us old ladies a pink cap.  I'll give you a few in September.  I guess once I was yellow.  You have to be pretty secure to wear a pink cap but you can handle it. 

Steve,

Since you are into yoga now, I have some questions.  Do you do it to keep yourself more flexible or to stretch.  Maybe they are the same thing.  I have a tape called "Flexible Warrior". It is distributed by Troy Jacobson and is advertised for multi sport.  It does not specify what kind of yoga it is so maybe it is a variety of whatever they think makes sense for multi sport athletes. I think it is a very  good invertment of time but you probably want to do it the rigtht way.  What do you think?

Ellen

Cool Pictures Steve.  I'm not sharing mine either.  I haven't even looked at them yet but I got the email today. 

You don't look menacing, it's that Johnny Cash thing.

Steve - Great photos. Man you were not kidding, he does take a lot of photos.  I like that helmet, what kind is it?

Ellen - Sure bring me a pink hat and I will sport it around DC. Im not afraid to wear Pink.  Its funny about 3 years ago me and my wife went shopping at the outlet to get me some new clothes and I went into the Polo Outlet and walked out with 5 short sleeve button downs. They were pattern shirts and not solid color.  Well when I was shopping my wife was not with me. When we got home I showed her my shirts and she started to laugh.  Out of the 5 shirts only 1 did not have pink in it, where as 4 of them had some sort of pink stripes.  So Yes I will wear Pink.

Has anyone rode a bike with disc wheels, I was just thinking this afternoon I went on a 15mile bike and it was pretty windy, some parts the wind was coming from the side and the bike kept pushing to the side.  I thought if I had a disc wheel that might have been hard to control, atleast the wind was able to cut through the spokes which made a cool whistle sound.

Ok about pictures.  According to Article 5, Paragragh 2, line 4-7 of the Got Your Mojo WORKIN handbook, it states that all race photos need to be made public to the group.  Now If I posted my big whale belly photos coming out of the water for yall to see, then I do want to see some race photos. So lets have them.

I don't usually buy race pics but have a few times. I have some of those plus others my wife has taken on Facebook:

George,

I loved your article.  You have a pretty special family.

Ellen

Nice write up George.

I found an Olympic in July-very near home. It will not be wetsuit legal-July in Texas=very warm water. And, it will be another $100+ entry fee. I have had a full season of events and the fees are being felt but I will consider it. The wetsuit thing bothers me, hopefully I can get enough OWS to feel more confident not having that extra buoyancy.

The same organization also has a half marathon planned Oct 9th which seems to be a logical time plus one in November as  bench marks toward my Dec marathon.

Thanks everyone on the kind words about the article.

Jeff -  I know what you mean, those fee add up and you sure have done a lot of races this year.  I still have to pay my fees for my July, Aug & Oct Tri Races and then Nov Half Marathon.  I guess for my Birthday next month I will ask my family to pitch in and try and pay for atleast 2 of the tri races.  Im just glad my wife is on board with me getting healthy becuase since i just started racing this year, there has been a lot I had to buy so it has been pretty expensive. 

George,

You're famous  http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/cms/article-detail.asp?articleid=2280 .  Great article and well done.
