January 9-10 Good luck Adrienne x 2 and Ann-Marie. Wishing you other DL'ers the best. Since TJ is not on the DL, is that drug induced stupor of a recreational nature? This has been the longest I've been DL'ed in many years and no end in sight. I have a consult with a surgeon next week for a major surgery soon. Hopefully we're talking weeks not months of recovery. I so badly want to be back on the road. A huge part of my life is missing. Thankfully it is allowing more time for other parts of my life but it isn't the same. edit: you guys move to fast. root canal is no fun and should be followed up with drug induced stupor. Hope the pain stays away.
Agreed! Prayers for happy answers Steve, I'm glad you are enjoying other aspects of life. The waiting can be the worst part at times. You're in my thoughts and prayers. |
Sorry to hear that Steve. Hopefully the consultation goes well.| 2016-01-08 1:38 PM in reply to: popsracer |
| Seattle | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Closed Originally posted by popsracer Originally posted by rrrunner I am reading "Out There: A Story of Ultra Recovery". While reading this morning I read where he quoted something he read online. It made me chuckle and I thought y'all might too. "Any idiot can run a marathon, but it takes a special kind of idiot to run an ultra marathon". I think we've all had those types of comments aimed at us if we've been doing endurance sports. I've done 2 50+ mile ultras and 17 marathons now and I actually found the ultra's to be less painful. The exhaustion is a little deeper with the ultra's but the much higher intensity of marathons resulted in more acute pain in the latter stages. Goodness, yes. Especially if you are well trained. Recovery does take longer though, of course. Especially races with steep or long descents. I tell ya, it's those short distances that get you. Also, the straight up the mountain races are not painful in the same way, but you are gasping for breath almost immediately. Where if it were longer you can kind of sit back and motor up a little more casually.

Agreed! Prayers for happy answers Thanks for your support. The consult is just a formality for a major surgery that will occur within the next few weeks. We're talking my lower abdomen being opened up, them pulling my guts out, removing a small tumor, and then stapling me back together. This will be round two (last one was 6 years ago) and it knocked me off my feet for months. I'm just resting up for it all. Ideally, I want to be able to do an Olympic tri in June and that will be my motivation coming back. If you ever saw the scene from Jaws where they are comparing scars, I will never lose such a competition. |

I was treated very aggressively six years ago with radiation and chemo because what I had was very nasty stuff. I've now outlived by a large margin their expectations and those aggressive measures are catching up with me a little bit. My recent kidney issues were a result of that. Still I've done 2 IM's, 3 HIM's, 13 marathons, 2 ultra's, and dozens of shorter races after being diagnosed so I've been fortunate beyond belief. Would be nice if there were a few more but if not I cannot complain. |

For those of you that take supplements, which ones do you take and why? The reason I'm asking is because for years I've always taken a scoop of whey protein powder mixed with water post workout. I recently got a bag of SFH (http://www.sfh.com/recovery-2lb-bag.html) which includes creatine and a bunch of other amino acids and I'm wondering if I'm missing something by just taking the whey protein. I also take a multi and some fish oil but my question is related to a post workout "shake." Sadly my only supplements are M&M's and Gummy Bears. One bad habit I'm trying to work on this year. M&Ms = Vitamin C! Doctors say that a more colorful diet is better for you. At least that's what I've heard. that made me snerk.

Regular 980 Caerphilly, Wales, uk. | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 Originally posted by jmkizer Originally posted by Jet Black I've got a question for our IronManatees. I've found the info on the on course nutrition, but it doesn't state what flavors of Gu, bars, gatorade, etc. that they'll be providing, just the products. When if ever do they release that info? I'd like to start getting used to the nutrition now if possible. I carry my own nutrition on the bike and what I want for the first "stop" or two on the run. Then I go with on course nutrition. By then, I'll just take what goes down well. IronMan Wales did release the flavours to be used on course, from the start I think. Didn't help me though, I don't like the thicker type gels like Gu/Powergel etc For IM Wales I did the same as Janyne, I squeezed 21 gels into an 800ml bike bottle, marking the bottle every 3 gels. I then made sure I had reached each mark on the hour. I only needed to pick up water refills from the bike aid station. It then went t.i.t.s up on the run, where I just ate whatever I could stomach, but the bike went well. Edited by Richardsdrr 2016-01-08 3:07 PM |

Rumor has it there was a short-term US run of all-dressed chips by Lays, but I never saw any to get them. Sorry to say in the M&Ms vs. Smarties battle, I choose M&Ms hands down, probably based on my lifelong consumption of them. M&M's have more chocolate and less shell than smarties and that makes them the winner! I can taste the difference between a lot of things, but the magnitude of the difference has always seemed exaggerated to me. So no, not gross. I guess it's still just so high above not having any at all! I've heard Swiss chocolate is a tier above the rest. My history teacher a few years ago told me that Switzerland won an international chocolate making competition with their "garbage chocolate". |

M&Ms = Vitamin C! Doctors say that a more colorful diet is better for you. At least that's what I've heard. US Smarties != Canada Smarties, two completely different animals. One of my Canadian teammates occasionally makes us Smartie cookies for post-game snacks. All-dressed chips take the prize in my book. Well, that and Kraft peanut butter. Rumor has it there was a short-term US run of all-dressed chips by Lays, but I never saw any to get them. Sorry to say in the M&Ms vs. Smarties battle, I choose M&Ms hands down, probably based on my lifelong consumption of them. M&M's have more chocolate and less shell than smarties and that makes them the winner! |

January 9-10 Good luck Adrienne x 2 and Ann-Marie. Wishing you other DL'ers the best. Since TJ is not on the DL, is that drug induced stupor of a recreational nature? This has been the longest I've been DL'ed in many years and no end in sight. I have a consult with a surgeon next week for a major surgery soon. Hopefully we're talking weeks not months of recovery. I so badly want to be back on the road. A huge part of my life is missing. Thankfully it is allowing more time for other parts of my life but it isn't the same. edit: you guys move to fast. root canal is no fun and should be followed up with drug induced stupor. Hope the pain stays away.
Today's run is being done for Steve. You'll be back out there soon brother. |
