Good! You're getting the slow and the nervous out of your system. All is well and exactly as it should be. So, talk to me about running. fffffffffffffffuuuuuu....I don't normally get this nervous. What would you like to know about running, Yanti dear. Clothing IS optional. You don't even need shoes. You know I'm all about the clothing-optional! So what did you decide about hydration-bearing? I know all the tips and tricks, as a once-regular-streaker in high school. I grew up on a lake so actually, it was a regular duathlon-streak running from my house and jumping in the lake. Well, the course is going to for sure have water stations ever 3(ish) miles. A specific few of them will be manned and a few will be self serve. The self serve stations will still have cups so it just may be a matter of stopping, filling then carry on. No biggie. The weather MAY be a factor but as of now it's looking good (70 degrees and clear) if it gets above 80, I'll HAVE to use those self serve stations. |
Sports bra isn't optional for running. Although I suppose I could run for a short distance holding them in with my arms. I'd look kinda funny though. (As if I wouldn't look funny enough running naked down the street)| 2012-07-10 2:40 PM in reply to: #4304074 |

I'm the, "So what if I just ran 20 miles, I'll totally come play a pick-up game of basketball" type. Anyhoo, I need you all to help me make a judgement call. Some friends are going on a 30-ish mile ride on Thursday. Normally I would go without hesitation but my race is on Sunday and I'd rather not compromise anything. On one hand, 30 miles is nothing...but shoot, I don't think I am thinking clearly so I'm not sure. How hard are they going to ride? Easy or hard? Huge hills? This is an A-race for you, no? I think it depends on some of those answers. If you don't do as well as you want are you going to wonder if it was because of the ride? ETA: Or listen to Yanti You were more or less saying the same thing Speaking of sound training. I will be hitting 15xx miles of running in 2012 this weekend! OMG! *rubbing eyes in disbelief and shock* wow, that's some serious run mileage! I probably haven't run that in my lifetime let alone in 7 months!!! You are my running idol!!! *genuflecting reverently* I had to look up genuflecting Well, you run a lot, you get better. I'm trying to see how good I can get. Thanks though, seriously. Not TOO many people realize what kind of commitment it takes to get that many miles in. While I generally prefer to be under the radar, it's nice when people get it.  Mmmm 60-70ish |

Master  7712    Orlando | Subject: RE: Yanti & Salty Mad Manatees PART 3: FULL POD Thanks for the nice words regarding my decent into half madness! I plan on following - as much as I can stick to any plan- a combination of Fink's competitive and intermediate plans. As this was a late decision, I am starting on week 7 (or is it 8?) What could possibly go wrong with that strategy |

They allow racers to wear as much or as little as they like. No photographs are allowed (unless you are photographing yourself) and they post results as anonymously as possible. It was about 3 weeks ago, I think, so you can plan on it for next year, LOL! Oh man, they have one of those here too! I actually really want to do it, especially after reading ' Naked by David Sedaris. I have no issues with nudity but I think I am too immature and would be giggling uncontrollably and pee my pants..err, I guess just plain pee |

They used to have the Bare Hare Triathlon in NC but they haven't held it for a few years. Aaah, the old BT ... where you could post pics of yourself running naked. Heck, we posted pics of other people running naked. Where the mods posted pics of lingerie models in lace-only or see-through lingerie. Okay, I realize that's not for everybody. But still. |

There were some soon-to-be Olympians, Olympic hopefuls and a slough of average joe vaulters. I hope to do this event next year if I can get a little training in:
I also did some trail running on the Xterra course. It was gorgeous and a very nice break from the pavement.
HOTHOTHOT pics! Jealous! I've been watching Diamond League on TV and making slurping noises. If you do pole vaulting next year and don't get vid, you can consider our deal over. (Whatever deal it is we have). |

Nice to see you all finish safely with no injuries. will catch up with the RR's and comment soon. Well done on the good samaritan role kirsten. The boy will remember you for all the right reasons and realise that humanity is not all bad. I'm with Kirk, I hope they catch the ars*hole. Hey Kirk, stop wasting beer out of your nose. Early Sunday morning drinking is too precious an experience. Salty, even i know the cycle ride is a bad idea. And i thought you had the taper madness under control. As for myself, had a quiet weekend training wise (read as 'did nothing') as i had lots of stuff on. Now bouncing off the wall so will be back at it with a vengeance today. SB and R are planned for today with the bike and run done as a brick hopefully. Have a good Tuesday y'all. Good use of "y'all" - the South would welcome you!
Agreed, well played old chap! |

Great job everyone from over this weekend! Here's the race report, finally. http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=450175&posts=1#M4304917 |
