Beth and Yanti's Newest Manatees - FULL (Page 2)

Yes lots of T.I.T.S (Time In The Saddle) for the new people.  Yes Victoria is Great I left it once only for a year and had to come back!!

I guess I should say a bit about myself as everyone else has and before TR makes up stories.  I did my first triathlon about 8 or 9 years ago then did nothing it was a spring I didn't train for it I wasn't even sure I could swim the distance before I left.  I did it backstroke most of the way.  After that didn't do much then had my second knee operation and decided to start running because my ex who is not an athlete was and if she could do so could I.  I got hooked on how I felt after running.  I still don't like running I just like the feeling after, that and my group I run with is stuck with me for however long on trainging runs.  I have made it up to doing Half Marathons and plan do to another this October.  I need to find time to get to the pool I am a horrible swimmer that loves to be in the water.  I can just hang out at the lake all day floating around playing with the kids.  Oh yes kids there are many here 5 right now 4 from my gf previous marriage our son who is just over 2 and we are expecting another in September.  So we have 14, 13, 11, 9 and 2 and a newborn by the end of the year.  

I was in Yanti's first mentor group with Beth then I stayed with them for Beth and yanti's great adventrue together and am now finding my way back to them.  I have forgotten all their great advice and will be asking the same questions I probably asked last year.  

Glad to see a great group forming here and we are in great hands with these two ladies helping us along the way!!

Hi ladies -- I've been around Bt since Jan. 08 and have seen the Manatees -- would love to be a part if there's room. I was in a great Jan. mentor group that I hope we continue, but I know more is better...kind of goes with size matters. But since it will be officially no more...would like to meet new peeps.

Here's my brief tri bio: Lynn, in So. California, San Diego County. Going for my first HIM in August, Barb's race and in the last year and a half I've done 4 half marathons, 10 or 11 sprints (lost count) and  the Soma quarterman in Phoenix last October (more than an oly, less than a half iron). If you'll have me....I'll do my best to support and uphold the honor of being a Manatee mentoree.  Cross my heart. xxx

givemashot - 2009-04-08 6:27 PM Oh, the newest manatees are so lucky! Beth and Yanti are incredible mentors.

Welcome on board, Amy ... all former Manatees are needed and your lively spirit and participation will be a wonderful part of this group!

(I replied to your post in the old thread too)

Yahoo! Thanks Yanti!

Hi all- my name is amy and I am a manatee addict... er... um, a reborn manatee, LOL.  Yeah, that's it, I'm a reborn manatee mentee.  

I am a 34 year old married mom of two, and I am a nurse by profession. I was a swimmer as a kid, and a diver and sorta swimmer in high school. Over the years, I became less and less active until about a year and a half ago I realized I had become the dreaded couch potato. Ack! So, after being challenged by a good friend, I decided to tackle my first sprint tri. May 2008 I finished the tri in the middle of the pack. I have since continued to train, and will be doing several sprint tris and a half marathon this summer. My biggest hurdles to overcome mostly have to do with scheduling time to train. 

Oh, and I have been known to be chatty and sarcastic at times
