Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 276)

Dude - it's ON!!!  However... because you're so much faster than I am, I think you should have to go backwards or hop on one leg for the run portion of the poutine mile.   

Yeah, but you are Canadian therefore predisposed to efficient poutine eating. 

This is true, it's genetically coded in all of us.  As is the ability to wrestle moose, ice skate, and tap a maple tree for sap. 

I saw the stats, but am wondering how accurate they are and where they go with it. I'd heard they wanted a flatter course, but that seems really low. Could still be a fun course, but they're definitely avoiding the big stuff. I was there for one weekend and did a nice run going up and around the Raccoon Reservoir. ~15 mile run (seriously, haha) and had ~1,600 ft of gain. ~1,000 ft of that came inside of 2 miles. It was awesome, both up and down.

I want to see you go at it with Wondermoose.

SALTY, I AM MAKING YOUR CHILI WITH JALAPENOS.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.  You just gave me an idea for a Canadianathon!

1. Put on your touque.
2. Poutine 'mile'--each lap is a lap around the outdoor hockey rink
3. At the end of the mile you have to tap the maple tree and make Tire Sur Neige.  

Brilliant!

outdoor hockey rink? Tire -whatever-the-eff? What is this nonsense!?!?! 

Ok, all caught up on the reading.

Kate, I have no experience but you are in my prayers. I am thankful to know the Manatee women who freely discuss these issues so I will face them more prepared.

Chatanooga, I got that message too. Pretty cool new addition to the IM offerings.

Dogs, our lab/GSH mix has a similar habit. She knows she's not allowed up but if her ball is on the couch cushion she shoves her body and shoulders forward on the couch keeping all 4 feet pointing toward the ground to retrieve it (if we don't throw it soon enough to her liking).

Jo, I love that you are enjoying riding the bike!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I saw the myotherapist again this morning and finally got a reluctant agreement to let me start to run/ride EASY. So now how do I get from an easy run today (I'm thinking 3 miles at 10:00 min/mile) to a HM on October 20?

You have a friend named Eddie Felt Edict?  Small world!

Oh c'mon, you are ahead of most--at least you know what a touque is!

and actually, the rink I played on in college was pretty much an outdoor rink:

that far end used to be open so when it was raining or snowing, you would get precipitated on if you were behind the net. 

So, this event could be called, "Tap That Touque Poutine Mile" or something.

^^^^Whaaaaat???? So where's the invite for the SW contingent of Manatees?  TJ? You seeing this?

Oh that is LOW!

Please welcome to the family my Felt Edict Nine 60. I believe he will make me a happy girl! Name suggestions appreciated...

(oh, and I had no clue I made the most horrible bike pic faux pas by not showing the gear side of Silver Streaker  I'm more educated now.)

God, I love seeing a handsome guy all stretched out on white carpet like that.  Daaaayyyyummmm.

I will be thinking of names.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Erin!  Sounds like you've had a banner day

Hmmmm...yes, but I feel a bear skin rug would've been more appropriate for my rugged mountain man 

 

Hahahahaha

Perhaps a mountain lion (aka cougar) rug? It is a new bike, afterall. Is friend Eddie hot?

^^^What? Now that it's "official"? lol

And no, friend Eddie is most definitely NOT hot. Sweet, and a good drink buyer, but not hot. No riding of any Eddies.

Anyone who lived through the era of the McKenzie brothers knows what a touque is

I was born in 84 which means I get extra points.

Well first of all they should be Hatch chilis!!!!!!! Just passed through there yesterday and the smell of roasting chilis was divine!!!!!!!

FYI for anyone interested... http://media.runningandcyclingenterprises.com/newsletters/B/081413-USAT/index.html

You make it sound like it was something you have to survive!

You should let that midriff out to see the sun a little more often.  Just sayin'

Ha! That was not my implication at all! Actually that was probably my first exposure to our northern neighbors.

Is that a dig at her midriff or her placing?   I watched that heat...

And I don't show mine period.  But it is not as purty as yours or Yantis
