Champion  18680       Lost in the Luminiferous Aether |  Subject: RE: TAN #185: Queens of Double EnTANdretech_geezer - 2012-10-16 9:48 AM Rant on Would you assume that coffee called Jamaica Me Crazy would be rum-flavored? J bought a bag of it for her mother's house thinking it was a premium coffee. Her mother only has Folger's. When I went to open the bag this morning, uh-oh. What is that smell? The bag does not say flavored coffee anywhere. It says 100% Arabica coffee. The bag should have said 99.9% coffee with the rest being awful rum flavoring. Spoiled my favorite thing in the morning, coffee in bed. Rant off Good morning, kids.
TW Messing up good coffee is really, really BAD! |

Of course you don't want to hear about AZ weather .... when it's hot like that and close to your race. It will cool down. lonoscurse - 2012-10-16 8:43 AM blueyedbikergirl - 2012-10-16 8:41 AM mr2tony - 2012-10-16 8:38 AM Teejaay - 2012-10-16 8:34 AM I have a lonnnnnng one everyday. It can be a burden. mr2tony - 2012-10-16 6:33 AM I have a lonnnnnnng one today! blueyedbikergirl - 2012-10-16 8:28 AM You can do it. I'm going to ride and run after work. Remember to keep the run short as we have a LONNNNG one on Thursday! Morning TAN! I think today will be a Walking Dead marathon day (at least until I have to go out and get my ride and run on) as last night we finally got caught up on American Horror Story. Yay! An even crazier thing is that I really should go and swim in the lake today, but I'm scared I might turn into a popsicle. I just can't comment without it sounding all kinds of dirty, and somehow I don't think TAN would really appreciate it... As far as getting my workout in... I'm waiting for it to warm up - that's going to happen today, right? It's going to warm up nicely here today. High around 80. That's just mean! Promise? Or at least lie to me and say that it will cool down. |

To let you all know my step mom died over the weekend. Thank you all for your prayers and good vibes. The end was mercifully quick. I will be on my way to Vegas tomorrow to help my brother with arrangements and such. |

TW Whoever did this to coffee should be severely punished. Is death too severe a punishment for such a travesty? |

Monica you guys are doing so great on your training - when is taper? The coffee was actually bagged by a company in Kansas. Perhaps you could launch a two-pronged attack. They will never see what was coming. TW |

Monica you guys are doing so great on your training - when is taper? Thanks Lisa! Still 2 more weeks of really high volume and then it starts to decline - but I'm really, really, REALLY not looking forward to swimming in the lake - it's going to be COLD! I'm probably going to freak out until the day of the race that I'm completely undertrained, aren't I? |

I'm probably going to freak out until the day of the race that I'm completely undertrained, aren't I? I freaked out a LOT before my first - but it helped me to do some mental calculations of "worst case" scenarios. I mean, you can take 2 hours to swim (2:51/100s), average 14mph on the bike (8 hours) and still have 7 hours to complete the marathon (minus transitions). When I thought in terms like that it made me feel better! |

I'm sticking by my 3 goals for my 1st one... 1) don't die; 2) finish (dependent on goal #1 holding true); and 3) finish in under 17 hours with a smile on my face. Should be doable, right? |

First, sorry to hear the bad news Kate. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Second, Lisa, what a great breakdown of the IM. I was thinking as some guy was the last guy to finish the swim at Kona this weekend; "Man, 2 hours swimming, no way he makes it to the finish." But I guess with your math, I can see how it's possible. |
