Champion 7163 Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Hi Kids!!! When I am in Minocqua and not on the MG, it means one of two things, 1) either it is storming cats and dogs so the satellite internet is hosed up or 2) it is totally beautiful and we're out on the boat. Today it is #1 that keeps me from the group. Got stuck doing my last TT before IM on the CT and then a swim in the turmoil. No worse for the wear and NO I'm not obessing about next year's IM or even this ones...the beauty of being in the hinterlands where no other IM's exist. Twin--really sad, but I also lost my G-ma when she was 95 yo. I was so lucky to have her for that long. She was my rock and taught me a lot. Kyla--hope the rest of the fam stays healthy while you battle the bug. Can't believe what a petrie dish schools seems to be. Doug--think you made the right call. Standing around for 2 hours to be on the course with people who clearly are far less trained can be dangerous. They have a right to be there, the RD sounds a little dense to me. While I haven't thought a ton about the OS, I did sign up for Master's swimming so that clearly is on my radar as something that needs to be improved upon. The rest? Who knows...like to get my running shored up, but I'd I would also like to be a stronger biker!! Stan--have a blast on your trip. Swim if safe, laugh a lot and enjoy your friends. George--enjoy the family reunion....one man's chaos (mine) is another mans' joy! To the rest, enjoy Thursday night...the weekend is almost upon us! |

Master 1675 Suwanee, Ga. | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! DougRob - 2010-09-02 4:50 PM Have had a tough week as Kathy's grandma has been in comfort care (hospice) for the past week with kidney failure and passed away peacefully this morning surrounded by family at the wonderful age of 93. Rest in peace, Grandma Dorothy. Hug your loved ones!!! My condolences. While death is never easy, that sounds like one of the better ways to go "peacefully... surrounded by family at the wonderful age of 93." x2 Kim. Glad for being surrounded by family and peaceful....and especially glad for the 93 years. |

I am working on running and shrinking my excess volume (losing weight). Similar goals to mine DR. I want to loose a few pounds...about 10-15 and do Disney marathon in Jan. After that it is get on the trainer and back in the pool and re-train myself with those two sports after being away from them since Augusta 2009......seriously....I have not been on a bike nor in a pool since 9-27-2009. My workout partner will be back from an assignment in Houston by then so motivation will NOT be a problem.  |

I guess Earl wants a closer look at our coast. Watch out for rip tides if you plan to OWS in the Atlantic this wk. end. Be safe everyone! i just realized something reading your post. this is the first place we've lived in a long time that isn't really in trouble from hurricanes. we lived through several including katrina, rita and ike. jarrett also made it through hugo. interesting. and i can't believe katrina was five years ago yesterday. doesn't seem like it. of course i guess we are susceptible to tropical storms here and for various reasons a slow moving tropical storm is just as dangerous or in some cases more dangerous (and damaging) than many hurricanes. be safe everyone! You may have escaped the hurricanes but now you're in dog-fighting country! John lives near Michael Vick??? dog fighting and nascar and..... JORTS!!! along these lines, kim i'm really sorry to hear about grandma dorothy. i was thinking about you and the white jort wearer today. on my way over to birminham my jorts radar started going off. then it started going crazy. then i figured out why and quickly whipped out the Bb camera to snap this shot.  i pulled off the next exit, stopped in the gas station to see how far away the track was. twice a year that HAS to be the jort capital of the universe. we needed a pic, right! unfortunatley i was running late but i did snap this puppy inside the station. lol! alabama shop and look at all the georgia maps!  give kathy a big hug for me. will keep ya'll in my thoughts and prayers. |

Interesting post about IM Louisville http://forum.slowtwitch.com/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=2974385;page=1;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25; Someone asking why so many were vomiting during the race, most blame it on the heat which would make some sense but seems like a lot had that problem. Quite a few blaming it on the Power Bar Perform, having to drink it for the same reason as Chris, they ran out of water. |

Master 1952 Guelph, Ontario | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Hi gagn. Just a quick hello. I've been exceptionally busy this past two weeks with house painting and getting the PT business. I was supposed to be racing this weekend but have pulled something in my back. Chiropractor says the L5 disc in my back is inflamed and that is what is making it hard to stand up right. Hopefully it will clear up enough for me to do my final race of the season. Haven't had time to catch up on all the posts but I hope everyone that wanted to got there registration for the Cdn IM next year. Congrats Chris I did see you had a tough race. Good luck to everyone racing this weekend and I hope that hurricane Earl isn't too hard on our NC peeps. |

I AGREE! where do you see quite a few? So I always over-use my adjectives, should have left it at a few instead of quite. As far as people vomiting, lots of races happen but first time I have seen a specific post on it. Also, if you think about it, having to drink anything with calories vs. water could cause you to throw up if you went over your planned calories. I think is the normal cause of stomach issues in an IM isn't it. (too many calories). all in all, pretty pi$$ poor to run out of water, that's something they do in local sprints not a race you pay nearly 600 bucks to do. |

It's ok, I know you like scientific facts and I like rumor-mongering, that's why I think a lot of posts are interesting. Maybe not always true, but interesting none-the-less. No idea whether this pertains to IM LOU or not, but last year there were many more people that were complaining of throwing up than past years. While it was hot and that can cause digestion issues, many blamed it on the water quality of Lake Monona. It was a very hot summer and we battled bacteria levels in the lake right up to race day. By some "Miracle" they were fine on race day. If you swallow water swimming (and I do), it's easy to see how you could pick up some bad bugs that affect you later on, from both ends. Not sure if there is science behind it, but one of the reasons I am OWSing so much is to get my body used to all the "crap" in the water. Crazy, I know, but hopefully it will serve me well on race day. Signed, The girl who drinks at least a quarter cup of the lake each times she swims! |

Expert 1797 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Kim - Sorry to hear about Grandma Dorothy but I hope and pray I can go like that when the time comes. Doug - good move! Have fun and race hard. Kyla - sorry about the kiddo. We are about to open the petri dish of germs in a 4 days. Does it ever get better? I hadn't had the flu in 20 years then my son went to preschool. Tony and I got hit so bad w/ a flu bug that we had to call the grandparents to care for the kids b/c we could not stand up. Good luck to all the other racers this weekend. I signed both of my kids up for a race next weekend. Tony will have to handle race duty since I will be a few hundred miles away. And this offseason I am learning to swim or finding another sport. I've gotten slower in the pool as the summer has gone on. So my goal is to not "to swim" for 5-6 months and just work on drills and technique. There is no use in me practicing a crappy stroke. So it will be drill, drill, drill. |

Champion 7163 Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Hey Tracy--can you tell us exactly who is in the group photo??? Of course I recognize you, Kyla and the hot guy on the right, but who are the rest of the peeps? and what is up with the size of the IM Canada lake? it looks tiny, a lot like Lake Placid. Is that a good or bad thing with 2500+ people in it? Hey Dineen--I am an equal opportunity swallower...been in Monona at least 6 times and make sure to ingest an additional 1/4 cup each time just to be fully prepared. Today's last longer run (I feel like I have said that for a while) went pretty well. I've totally confirmed I would rather run in 50F, rain and wind than 80F+ with high humidity....can't say the same for the bike though! Edited by SSMinnow 2010-09-03 10:34 AM |
