Yanti & Salty Mad Manatees PART 3: FULL POD (Page 19)

Hi, I'm Adrienne, can we be friends? 

Good run, 99 degrees feels like 212 I'm pretty sure my sweat was boiling off me not evaporating.  I get to fill in for an Investigator the next three weeks and today was a shadowing day, getting forms, figuring out how to access databases, getting to know where to go for things etc. but I get to spend my time inside in air conditioning so I am not completly exhausted when I get home more mental exertion than physical looking forward to the next three weeks!

Jo-  Did I read that right I think about 10 pages ago you had a Founders KBS?  One of my favorite beers and breweries, they were out of SC for the past 2 years though just got back...  You wanna send some of that KBS down this way ?

(Shameless Plug)

GO RACING MANATEES!!!!PRS ALL AROUND!!!

Can you head up to the Stanwood Fairgrounds about 6:30 PM Saturday night?  Pretty nearby to you...

Damn Canadians can't stay out of my state!

We should do a race together some time. Do you have any more planned down here?

That would be fun.  But you would be waiting for me, cause I have seen your logs!  I don't have anything planned after my HIM.  I have found it interesting that I have looked for nothing after that date.  I guess I am waiting to see if I survive .  Let me know if you know of anything good, I'll see if I am available!

Yeah, I'll be in a bit of a lull after my marathon, too. I'll keep my eye out for a sprint or something. I will most definitely be doing some 5 and 10Ks...not sure if you would be willing to make the trip for a run event or not.

Good to see you back in action, Kirk!  Both in training and popping in to see us on whopping page 23 of forum 3, already!

Heehee thanks! As it is my first olympic, I am seeing it as PR, NO MATTER WHAT! 

And I got my bike back finally---I dunno though, it looks ENTIRELY TOO CLEAN for my usage...

Lots of Manatee racing this weekend totally jealous!

I'm out of practice on the bike - I did an hour on the drainer this morning, sweated buckets, was aiming for 1.45 but no way - I had to get off I was going mad!  I will try and get on it for half an hour before my 1hour run tomorrow (may make that an hour and a half)

I'm loving combining Fink Intermediate and the BT beginner HIM program.  I just add extra bits - I definitely do 3 hours more swimming than recommended but that's coz I like the eye candy!

It's cold here - 1 degree Celsius this morning, no way I'm riding in that.  It's sunny though which is nice, see how we go tomorrow!

My daughter had a visit to the emergency room yesterday first time since she was about 11 months old - she's now 7!  Ran into a pole and thought she'd broken her upper arm but nothing on the xray, just jarred her shoulder.  She's happy with the sling and the attention.  Specialist on Monday if no improvement.

Have fun out there - oh I got squad this afternoon - yummy.

Ooh, glad the wee one wasn't hurt worse!  Stay warm

Thanks for the recommendation. I haven't read/listened to it, but I will put it on my list.  I love listening to books on my long runs and trainer rides in the winter.

I'm sorry you're both sick, but I love that quote from Prada. I sometimes catch myself thinking that way.

yum!!!!!  I could so eat that about now!  I'm having a carb free week to shift a couple of stubborn pounds....a burger with the works would hit the spot!  Instead it's off to the pool - I always get full there coz I swallow so much cholrinated water!

Founders is local for me.  Michigan and Illinois have the greatest breweries.  I am convinced of it.  The KBS was last year's.   I had won a raffle about 30 pages or so ago where I received a basket of about 25 really amazing micobrews.  A friend of mine is a microbrew expert.  I school him in wine.  He schools me in beer. He is staying at the campsite right across from mine (funny how that worked out) for the tri.  I plan on some awesome post-race beverages.  I will detail them in my RR just for you. 

For dinner, I had Bell's Two Hearted.  One of my favorite go-to beers at a sports bar.  Beer is carb loading right?  

On hand for translation if required.

Brilliant stuff. Swim gains seem so hard to acheive and are really satisfying when you realise that you have improved your technique.

I'll second that. Have a great time out there you guys

Want some of ours? June was the wettest on record and July looks to be the same. We have had a months rain in the last 24 hours. I was diverted yesterday due to road floods and all of south west of England is on red alert. (I live in the Midlands on the side of a little hill so luckily it doesnt affect me directly). Messes up my training a little. Not keen on geting on the bike when you can hardly see for the rain and spray.

No training thursday/ friday due to work/weather. Hoped to get out this morning (only heavy showers forecast today around here).However, son No.2 just phoned with a conversation that went something like this.

'me and my friend have been at a party close by, can we come over for breakfast? Have you got bacon, eggs, sausage, hash browns, mushrooms, beans and toast?'

A 'fry-up' is carb loading right? 

Guess my bike/run brick will have to wait for my digestive system to catch up.

Watching Tour de Piglets and trying to stay loose, warm and relaxed for the ocean swim tomorrow ...

Came across this and this is exactly what the lineup looks like tomorrow since all those piglets are who come to race, and those who don't, are working the event in that capacity.

Hm ... might happen to me ...
