Master 1318 Houston | Subject: RE: Evondo's Group - FULL Ya that game stunk but I kinda saw it coming. We never really played well this entire year not sure why everyone expected us to play well then. Mostly felt sad for Tebow, he's been great for our team and hopefully Brantley picked up on a few of his leadership skills  I hope to talk with my family about it this week. Goal is to have a guarantee before the prices go up on 12/31. I'll let you know as soon as I do... Get back on that wagon, you've got at 1.2mi swim to kill!

Expert 1323 Rowlett, TX | Subject: RE: Evondo's Group - FULL I like the plan of cheaper prices. Kill it I am going to murder it. I plan on eating lots of beans and brocoli the night before. I wil be bringing a little extra air powered propulsion to the swim. I will feel bad for everyone behind me. evondo - 2009-12-08 7:56 AM Ya that game stunk but I kinda saw it coming.

| Triathlete Nation ~ Texas! | Subject: RE: Evondo's Group - FULL Happy 'hump-day'! Garmin International rocks! I sent in my 305 last week for repair/replacement ($85 out of warranty cost - but better than $160+ for a new one). They received it Friday of last week and I got the new one in the mail yesterday. It looks brand new, although I know it is refurbished. Anyways, I was a little concerned I would be without it for a while (even though I haven't been doing activity that requires it). I am glad to have it back and this just reinforces my love for my 305! Way to Garmin, way to go! |

| Triathlete Nation ~ Texas! | Subject: RE: Evondo's Group - FULL Oh yeah, movie reviwes as of late... Crank 2 - High Voltage (more ridiculous than the first - action packed, funny, stupid and lots-o-sexual stuff) definitely not in the presence of chill-ren. Star Trek (the newest one) Great movie, entertaining... liked it, and I am not a trek fan typically. That's all for now kids... watched them last night at my second job... that's right I get paid to sit at a desk and watch movies... They don't pay me for WHAT I do, but what I MIGHT have to do. lol! |

Master 1318 Houston | Subject: RE: Evondo's Group - FULL Happy day after hump day Garmin has by far the best customer service I've seen... They recently replaced my 305 as well, I got lucky and even though it was out of warranty they replaced it. I've been asked by a few people if I'm doing another mentor group this month. My concern is with the wedding much of my March/April will be pretty busy. What do you guys think? Anyone in here going to try and join another group as well? I saw some groups with multiple mentors anyone up for that? KelliD - 2009-12-09 2:14 PM Woot woot HUMP DAY is here! Sweet deal about Garmin!!! Trin2bfast - 2009-12-09 12:08 PM Happy 'hump-day'!

Master 1209 New York, NY | Subject: RE: Evondo's Group - FULL I've contemplating joining a group, but still on the fence. This group has been super helpful and full of neverending good times! I sort of fell off the wagon with the last group I joined. I think it would be fun to be a mentor, but not quite sure I'm qualified. evondo - 2009-12-10 8:54 AM Happy day after hump day Garmin has by far the best customer service I've seen...

Master 1209 New York, NY | Subject: RE: Evondo's Group - FULL It looks like I'm almost good as new!!! Got in the pool again last night and felt great. To test myself I did some 100's at full effort. I honestly didn't think I'd make it past the first one, but I kept going back for more and tried to keep pushing harder. I'm feeling motivation like never before!!! I finally got focused on finding some races for next year....nothing set in stone yet but I have a general plan for the season. And hopefully I'll have a new ride to help me crush some goals  |

Expert 1323 Rowlett, TX | Subject: RE: Evondo's Group - FULL So we would be the EvD's Group of Mentors Group? I am up for that. I may not be the most usefull Tri'er of information but the 2 things I know may help someone. Kelli glad to hear you are getting better. I know a race that alot of the cool people are doing. Even more cool people if Eric can convince the family he should race. That would make all but one of us there. The Intimidator aka the Hibernator right now. |

| Triathlete Nation ~ Texas! | Subject: RE: Evondo's Group - FULL Hey Kel... new ride huh? what ya got in mind? I am driving myself crazy right now over new bikes/wheels... constantly looking, but I know I won't pull the trigger anytime in the next year. Maybe wheels or at least a front wheel. Now I am also on the power meter thing... looking for a deal there too. This Tri crap is worse than crack methinks! |

Master 1318 Houston | Subject: RE: Evondo's Group - FULL That will make you faster than any wheel/bike upgrade from your Quintana Roo. Best deal to watch on that is bing.com... every now and then there will be 15-20% off all ebay purchases w/buy it now. That's how I got mine (it was 25%) and topped it off with a 10% off paypal purchase. I'm with you and this group spoiling me. The last group of mine didn't turn out as good, there is one triathlete that I still keep in contact with but that's it...

Expert 1323 Rowlett, TX | Subject: RE: Evondo's Group - FULL lol I am in your same boat. I even know the bike I want and saw it for sale. I have made the EvD promise to myself though. Must have a race with 23 mph before any new bike related goodies. ie new bike new wheels. Now a Power meter is training material so that is a maybe.

Pro 4742   Sarasota FL | Subject: RE: Evondo's Group - FULL The Hibernator? I would be offended if you weren't so right. Hi everyone! I miss you all sooooo much! Never fear, I am in full blown half mary training mode, just doing a job of logging it all on here. As in, uh never. It's looking like my move to daytona is probably going to happen in the spring of next year, but it also appears that there is a pretty active tri-community out there, so I'm really excited. I also told Santa this year that I want him to save his money so that next year I can get the new tri-bike I've always wanted. I think he might listen. Making a trek to TX next year isn't completely out of the question... but I will need to wait and see how this whole Daytona thing plays out. Plus my sister is popping out a kid in April which means I will need to travel to CO at some point... but you never know. I might just show up with my pom poms for the hell of it. It would be pretty awesome to do a race with so many of you... Anyway, happy Thursday. |

Master 1318 Houston | Subject: RE: Evondo's Group - FULL I have been unsuccessful in this effort  My stepdad told my mom that he really hopes I don't race so I'm there to help him out even though he told me no problem. So my conscious got the best of me, I want to help him out as much as possible so I will be at the race but won't be actually racing. Our planned runner (John aka fattyfatfat) I know still wants to do the relay so you guys just need one more if you still want to do the relay together. I'll get to your powertap question a little later, in a dang meeting now that I should probably pay attention to Newtons1st - 2009-12-10 9:44 AM So we would be the EvD's Group of Mentors Group?

Master 1318 Houston | Subject: RE: Evondo's Group - FULL My recommendation is get a wheel you can train/race on with the powertap. So I'd do what you said just throw an aero cover on it and you're good to go. Other option is the SRAM route and have the power on your crank so you can swap wheels to whatever you'd like, downfall is they're more $$$. For the different powertap models, I have the SL+ because it was the only model available at the time. I have friends with the PRO+ and have no issues but stay away from the ELITE+ model... it doesn't do power averaging on the computer and so the #s jump around a lot which is annoying.

Master 1209 New York, NY | Subject: RE: Evondo's Group - FULL Happy Monday kids!!! Hope everyone had a great weekend! Happy belated bday to your daughter, Todd! Was hoping to get in some swimming or running this weekend, but holiday parties and party recovery sort of took over the weekend. Planning to get in some workouts this week, but until holiday season is over doubtful there will be any consistency. After this weekend I'm 99.9% sure I'm going to do Syracuse 70.3 in September. |

Master 1318 Houston | Subject: RE: Evondo's Group - FULL Happy Monday all! Todd- Happy belated bday to your daughter as well! I forwarded your biker notice to fattyfatfat... Woho for Syracuse 70.3! That looks like it'll be a great race, should be nice and cool weather for you too So I decided to do another mentor group and see how it goes. What do you all think of joining that one as well as all the new people? I think it'd be fun to have everyone in one spot and hopefully the consistency and accomplishments of our current group could inspire everyone else... Either way I'll always be checking this thread but here's the new one, join away... http://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=190447 |
