Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hey all, completed my 10k mud/obstacle race....1:34:00 or something....not bad...though I seem to have bruised my left hammy (stupid marine hurdles!) and pulled my right calf muscle....so I am happily hobbling around, trying to finish up the costumes. While I love doing tris, I think I have more fun doing mud runs...something about the atmosphere of them; that and the challenge on the obstacles--doing more than you think is possible... |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Thanks for all the well wishes Manatees. I am home; powdered, puffed and eating pizza and drinking a beer! I messed up my Garmin, so I have no idea what my time was and I haven't checked the website yet. I will write a RR soon, but here's a little hint: during the run, I changed the words to the song "the wheels on the bus go round and round ' to "the wheels on the bus are coming off, off, off!" It was great to "meet" Chris. He was nice enough to find me on the course and cheer for me! Edited by amd723 2012-10-28 6:53 PM |

Trust me, I was muddy, bedraggled, and tired...and I am pretty sure I was snarling at the photographer who was taking the pro shots at the finish line...I am looking forward to seeing that.

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Asalzwed - 2012-10-27 8:56 AM bcraht - 2012-10-27 1:05 AM Ahh, big deal, you guys have met Macca and Chrissie. I am just back from having dinner with the infamous Salty! She has a pic to prove it. Hopefully she will actually post it, or y'all won't believe me.... Although we were 20 minutes late...freakin' Seattle traffic...Thank heavens she forgave me....Just back at the hotel from having a great dinner at Marination Ma Kai in Seattle. For those who want to know, Adrienne is a)as saucy in person b)as cute as her picture and c)pretty much as awesome as she seems here online. My SO and I had a great time chatting with her (quiz her on Canadian Serial Killers!) and having some beers. Even drove by the Salty's made famous by Adrienne's recent race! Hope to meet some of you other Manatees in person someday. In case anyone was wondering...nothing got blown up. Although the employees of the restaurant did start emptying the garbages RIGHT NEXT TO OUR TABLE--I think it was a hint to get the Frog out already...
Oh, yeah, and apparently she is a regular, they brought her extra take out and everything... Ooooh yeah, it's allllllll true! It was great getting to meet you guys. I thought I was going to get stood up wooomp wooomp woooomp. Wouldn't be the first time! I apparently failed in Canadian pop culture but in my defense I do: 1. Know what highway one is (with the 1 and the Canadian leaf, right?? I mean eh?) 2. Play hockey 3. I forgot to mention but I slept on the side of the road in Vancouver once ... long story of course we had beers. That's a silly question. Going to have to hear the Vancouver story sometime...Hopefully you mean in your car on the side of the road, and not actually the side of the road... |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Ok, back home where I have more reliable internet connection. Reece, nice to hear from you. Hope your relay went well. Ann Marie, so sorry your swim got cancelled, but sounds like you had a great race! Can't wait to read the RR. Kate, you make me want to try one of those races for sure. I think it would be a hoot. Jenn, hope your race went well and same to Janyne on your ride! So, I go to these agility trials with my SO. They are always looking for volunteers--sometimes the dogs knock the bars off the jumps and you have to put them back up, when the bigger dogs run you have to put more bars on the jumps to make them higher, etc. I usually volunteer at some point, because they feed you lunch. So yesterday, I signed up to set the chute. The chute is basically a barrel with a piece of fabric on the end that the dogs run through. After they go through, the fabric is all twisted up, so you have to straighten it out so the next dog doesn't get caught. I made the mistake of volunteering for several height classes, for a total of about 150 dogs. I made up a song, too Ann Marie..."This is the class that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends, some people started running it not knowing what it was..." Ok, hold that thought. We got back to the hotel and were going to go out for dinner, but I wanted to go for a bit of a run. Of course, it is pouring out, it has been pouring all day. So off I go, just 30 minutes, absolutely soaked at the end, but it was a good run. We go out for dinner, sat for an hour or so. I get up and I am feeling a little stiff. Strange, I didn't run that far/fast. I do some stretching and figure it was just the cold/wet. This AM I get up and my hamstrings are KILLING me. WTF? Takes me an hour to realize...I did about 150 squats yesterday! Get up from chair, walk to chute, crouch down, straighten chute, get up. Holy cr@p. Went out tonight for a short, slow, easy run to try and work some stiffness out...hopefully feeling better tomorrow! |

Science Nerd ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hi Manatees!! Had a great time at the 10k yesterday. Super fun race with lots of costumes. It was REALLY windy. Ended up changing the location of the after party to be inside. It was right next to our hotel, so that was nice. The rain from Hurricane Sandy just started at home. We are prepared with lots of bottled water, canned food, a camp stove, and flashlights. There’s a good chance we’ll lose power - we seem to with every storm that has strong wind - and possibly water. I am off work tomorrow and am keeping the baby home from daycare. Hubby still has to go to work, but it is about 10 minutes away, so it shouldn’t be too bad. I’ll keep you updated when I can.

How is your wrist doing? As you said - you'll probably get 2 inches of rain! But the stores will have done well with sales of canned goods and bottled water. |

Science Nerd ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Wrist is doing really good. It's healing well and a lot less sore. It did get pretty swollen during the race, so I'm probably going to not run until the stitches come out on Wednesday. Not that I could run anyway with the storm. I am really looking forward to getting the stitches out. They are so irritating!! Two came untied and worked there way out, but I have 10 down the middle of my wrist that are so itchy. I really hope that the doctor is open Wednesday morning! |

The prep is probably overkill, but I feel better having all the water, especially with the baby. We had most of the canned goods, I just bought more mac and cheese. And got the camp stove out of storage, so we can cook if there is no power. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I had the opportunity this weekend to volunteer at the Rev3 Half in Venice and I ended up leading the lead male runner through the course on my bike. I wrote in my log that I noticed the difference between the mental state of the pros and the "rest of us". By the rest of us, I guess I meant me, although I believe it applies to many. I was asked to elaborate and I thought about it and decided that the real difference was focus and mental fortitude. We were in the beginning of the run and there was no focus outside of his job at hand. In watching him I noticed that he never looked at the course, unless it was the 10-15 feet in front of him. He had an unwavering focus of the task at hand and was going to give anything within him to complete that task. On the out and back 2 loop run course, he was judging where he was in relation to the others behind him and calculating the entire time. His facial expression never changed (although I admit I missed the pass in mile 12 as I was riding into traffic and trying to make sure no one ran into me, the runners, or the film crew motorcycle.) His body language never let on to what he was feeling. WAY more mental effort then I have ever put into a race. All in all, it was very impressive, but as I have mentioned before, this is the largest struggle I have with racing. There were some other aspects that were pretty cool to watch, but that was the biggest thing I noticed. |

Oh alright then!!!!! OMG OMG, Jo, that is awesome! Don't be naughty now.... Coffee with Macca booked for next Saturday - he'd better bring mrs Macca or I won't be held accountable for him not making it to the start line Sunday morning...... Crowie is up there too, signing his book - yes I'll be getting one of those! After all without me he couldn't have won IM Melbourne - special needs on the bike that's all I'm saying.... Seriously cool!! |
