Member  836    North Augusta, South Carolina |  Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSEDHmmmm...I'd still be carrying considerable fitness from IM LOU and I'm not too far away from Asheville. Let me think on it... |

Master 8247   Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED Hi Janyne (and other potential stalkers), Not sure about stalking. I think you may have to download an app. It's a Challenge Family event, not IM. Different stalking platform. Local forecast is for low of 42-45 and high of 57, mostly sunny. Today was mostly in the 60's, sunny, and breezy, after a couple days in the 70's. I swam the course yesterday and the water's not particularly cold. I think maybe 66 degrees F. A bit warmer than Calgary and CDA. For stalkers, please be aware this is more of a "bucket list" thing for me than a serious competitive effort. I'm planning to take the extra time in transition to put on a dry tri suit and tech shirt. Just don't want to shiver and shake my way through all that beautiful scenery. I'm also riding a rental road bike, not my racing bike, so that will slow me down some (conditions tend to be windy). No aerobars or aero helmet. Just couldn't justify the trouble of hauling Andreas all the way here, to Australia, and then back, when I would only ride him for one day. If I'm feeling strong on the run I will try to make up some ground there, but it's a slow course, 75% off-road (trails and gravel). My goal is to not have it be my slowest HIM ever--I think that was Worlds at Chatt? I'm #491. First race in 50-54. OMG it seems like yesterday I was in 9-10. How did this happen?! |

| Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED Originally posted by ceilidh Manatees!!! How about this for a meetup instead of the Florida relay. The location is great, it is only one day, We already have 2 drivers (me and my hubster) and probably our cars as well so that is taken care of. Cherokee and Asheville both have tons of things to do: There is wonderful Mountain biking, Paddling, hiking, restaurants, breweries, AND I can accommodate folks here for free, for at least the night before the race. (We have 3 rooms, a sleeper-sofa room, and 3 baths for folks). Rooms in Cherokee would be good for the end of the race since our place is about 2 hours from there. Land and Sky Relay (Asheville to Cherokee) LETS Have a show of Hands... Who is interested? My hand is up! I would love to get to meet more manatees AND race somewhere beautiful! As stated previously, I won't be your fastest choice... |
