Melyyyyyssssaaaa how did your race go?!  ... had a bit of a drama in first transition trying to get my top on (after all that training, I should've concentrated on learning how to get dressed!) ... Melyssa I bet many guys didn't mind that. |

Extreme Veteran 396 Eastern Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed It went great!!! The OWS training definitely paid off as I surprised myself (and my coach, and my friends) as I was earlyish out of the water, had a bit of a drama in first transition trying to get my top on (after all that training, I should've concentrated on learning how to get dressed!) Bike was average, reflecting that I haven't spent enough time on it, and my back still a bit doubtful, got passed by a few people who were quicker up the hills. First ten minutes in the run was hard, got a bit of the stitch which i haven't had for months, but I remembered that it gets better, and it did! I felt slow though, but not much slower than everyone else fortunately. The average time for the race is usually 1 hour 11, so I was aiming for 1 hour 15. So I am very happy with just under 65 minutes The worst part was that it was all over by 9.30am, and I had to come home and spend all day kid wrangling when I'd much rather have put my feet up and had a rest.. Hope everyone has had a fab weekend. I'll post pictures when i get them Melyssa Congratulations! Last week your back acts up and you still finish 10 minutes faster than you were shooting for? You're one tough triathlete! |

NICE JOB MElYSSA or should I say Triathlete MELYSSA? That was your first one?? You did great. And, fwiw, it's really hard to deal with wet bodies and lycra or other synthetic fabrics re: the top.
CONGRATULATIONS!! |

Extreme Veteran 396 Eastern Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed Hi everybody! My wife is coming home from Florida tomorrow so.... I did the dishes, laundry and bought some groceries. I hope I have it covered. I got finished with my swim tonight and it turns out I know the couple in the next lane doing water walking. He looks at me and says "you make that look easy". Surprised, I say "I wish it felt easy". She says "Well, you can't have everything". "Yeah, I guess you're right", I laugh. If they only knew..... Have a great day! Art |

Of course that only works if it's heartfelt and knowing you a tiny bit, Art, I bet it would be or you wouldn't have done all the other stuff. Happy wife= happy life, right? |

New user 99 Hendersonville, NC | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed Yesterday I did my first session with the 100 push-ups program, 48 push-ups totally over 5 sets. I was supposed to go to the gym after that and swim and run, but I never got around to it. So today around lunch time I did it instead. Swam 750 m in 20 min and ran 3.4 km in 25 min. I almost ran the whole time, walked for about 2:30 in the end. It was a really slow jog, but outside in the fresh air. So nice.I hope there will be no more snow now, so spring can finally arrive. Oh, I forgot, me and some friends are planning on running a 5K in March and then another in April, the first is March 20th and the second is April 18th. Edited by ladylucky 2010-02-23 2:18 PM |

Ah Nutella! It was introduced me to the wonderful world of hazelnuts. And, of course, the wonderful world of Nutella itself. So I've got some good news and bad news, manatees: Good news: My swimsuit doesn't quite fit anymore. Bad news: Neither do any of my shoes! I have to wear 2 pairs of socks with them now to keep them from falling off my feet |

Extreme Veteran 552 Wesley Chapel, Florida | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed Rebecca, hooray on the weight loss! (A little unsolicited advice, though: If you ever decide you want to have kids, it is very likley your feet will grow during pregnancy, and may well stay grown. I thought I was golden through my first pregnancy, but by the end of the second I was permantly in a size larger shoe. Feh.). So, is Brian being supportive? I recall that was a concern of yours in the beginning.... Art, hope you had a lovely reunion. Where in FLorida was she? Mia, sounds like you have a fun but busy race schedule ahead! Lynne, feel better soon! I was doing so great this month -- really on my way to meeting the 24 hours of cardio in Feb. challenge at the Y -- but then got sick on Sat night -- icky barf bug. When I was still having heaviness in my chest yesterday, I broke down and went to the doctor. Have the all clear now -- just strained my esophagus when I was getting sick on Sat -- but I was starting to freak out about my 5K this Sat. I didn't get the last long run in before the race that I had planned for last Sun, but I just hope I can finish and beat my last 5K time. We'll see. Oh, and registration opened yesterday for the race I plan to do for my first. Yippee! I am all signed up now, as are my two race buddies. Really thrilled about that.

He's a way better cheerleader for me than I am for myself Sorry! Wasn't trying to impugne his honor. I know what you mean, though, my husband has more faith in me than I do, too (though I don't know about you, but my confidence is at least growing!). I think I must have read more onto that statement on the heels of your post in the demotivational thread. I think of your friend's husband and just want to throttle him. Grrrr..... |

New user 99 Hendersonville, NC | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed Biked for 35 min today, almost 12 miles, 11.93. Then after that I did my second session of push-ups, today I got up to 53 in total. I'll see what Friday will give. |

Regular 534 Philadelphia | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed Involuntary rest day today. Annoying, since I just made some real progress swimming. And because swimming makes me happy. Dineen -- It's OK! And believe me, I wanna throttle my friend's husband too. Been wanting to for several years now. Sadly, she'd probably just dump me as a friend and then go hold his hand in the hospital for days. (For people wondering wth we're talking about, here's the post -- but I'm warning you, it IS depressing.) Art -- I approve of your wife's name. Good choice. I'm actually kind of annoyed at having to buy new shoes... I like the shoes I have now just fine! Also a little worried that my go-to brands won't fit anymore :/ Hope everyone has a good day today! We in the northeastern U.S. are battening down the hatches for another possible Snowpocalypse... |

New user 99 Hendersonville, NC | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed I'm proud of myself for finishing week 2 of 13 (almost finished anyway, tomorrows bike ride will be last thing this week). I'm back in the routine of going to the gym even when I don't feel like it. Because once you get there it's not to bad, it can actually feel really good. I swam 1100 m today in 30 min. |
