Elite  4435   |  Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes)Originally posted by amd723 Jo: With the time difference I have no idea if you've raced already or not, but you will be fine with your race! You are well trained, you've gotten yourself comfortable with biking outdoors, and you know you will have a blast. So relax and enjoy! or if you've already raced; how'd it go ?! 4.50am Sunday - race is this morning - yeah I slept around 3 hours! lol. I have not heard wind like that outside for ages...it's gonna be a long ride in that. Oh well I suppose the answer is hang on tight and just ride safely. I don't have aero bars so will get as low as I can. worried all night about blowing over. I hope the lake is sheltered enough for the water to stay calm. I'm terrified but in a good way - you racers know what I mean. Oh if it's really bad - there is a chance i'll change to the Sprint...but in my mind it's just one more lap of the swim and one more lap of the bike....we shall see. |

You've got the swim and the run easy. The bike--just a training ride with a bunch of other people. Good luck and have fun! |

Master 7712 Orlando | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Originally posted by jobaxas You got this- you've swum in rough conditions and running in the wind can be fun. As far as the bike goes, at least one direction should be great! Into the wind, just get in a low gear/ high gear ( whatever means higher cadence) and spin. Have a blast!Originally posted by amd723 Jo: With the time difference I have no idea if you've raced already or not, but you will be fine with your race!

Master 3870 | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) So at 6:30 this morning DH asked what we should do this weekend... after coffee, breakfast, packing and some dog sitter checking, we were in the car and headed to Zion ( where I told him I didn't feel like going on such short notice). DH loves it... the rest of us are on our maiden voyage. 6 hours of driving with two young kids and still was totally worth it!!! So incredibly amazing. I can't wait for tomorrow! I bet I won't even miss our Sunday morning ride |

Not a good idea. 'nuff said! I got home from my race yesterday thinking I had a great tan or wind burn. However on closer inspection the lake was dirty brown and that was what I was covered with. In addition from changing my rear tire I had smeared my face Football Style with black grease. Oh and on top of that a snot rocket in a cross wind was all over my right cheek. And astonishingly no one tried to pick me up. Go figure. |

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Originally posted by jobaxas great job Jo. There is no stopping you now. How many weeks until your next race? Done! I can ride in gale force winds I can change a rear flat and I can fight off a magpie. I was last by a country mile but I loved every minute I've got 12 weeks until our HIM, definitely time to get back into the pool. I am so glad I am just doing the swim. I am so looking forward to summer, it is finally getting light here before 7am so it is getting a bit easier to get out of bed. Edited by StaceyK 2013-08-18 7:02 PM |

I like a big race and a longer distance as i catch the larger people on the run! I won't be last. |
