Teejaay - 2012-10-29 5:00 PM I hear the water is frickin' cold and the ride is frickin' windy.mr2tony - 2012-10-29 2:57 PM Teejaay - 2012-10-29 4:53 PM You're NOT helping! mr2tony - 2012-10-29 2:46 PM Teejaay - 2012-10-29 4:29 PM What have I missed? More importantly who has missed me? I'm getting nervous with all this ironman talk. We can talk about the cooler AZ temps! They are pleasant .. well in the morning and at night at least! Noooo ... they are quite cool in the morning .. like in the mid to low 50's .. then they will head into the 80's .. then back down when the sun goes away. THAT is pleasant! I pray for cloud cover and no wind for youse too! Let's talk about something more important. Where are some good places to eat in Tempe? Nowhere! Tempe's full of chain restaurants. I gained so much weight flying out to AZ for the last two years and it was because of some of the restaurants in Scottsdale and Phoenix. To get GOOD eats. I mean post-IM-finisher type eats, you should go to one of the below places: -Sanctuary on Camelback (Best views in Phoenix) they have great food too. -Durant's (N Central Avenue) Built in 1953, you have to park out back and walk through the kitchen ala' Goodfellas. Gail (bartender) makes the world's greatest Manhattans! Kinda chain-ish, but still awesome: -Mastro's City Hall Steakhouse (I sat next to Darrell Revis the first time I went there for dinner). -Donovan's (I think it's originally from Phoenix. But not sure.) -Stingray Sushi (Good sushi, and if you're from anywhere but California, Oregon, Washington, or Hawaii, I don't want to hear nasty comments about sushi in the desert. It has to cross AZ to get to you in Florida!!!) -Roka Akor (While we're on the subject of sushi, the most expensive meal I've ever expensed was here. There were 10 of us, we got the Chef's Special and it went-on for hours. It was good.) If you need restaurant recommendations for Flagstaff, let me know. |

Sensei ![]() | ![]() mr2tony - 2012-10-29 2:24 PM Kido - 2012-10-29 4:21 PM Dude go get it! If you think you're going to break 12 or even 13, don't let us slow you down. We're just going to be going at our own pace! mr2tony - 2012-10-29 2:15 PM Kido - 2012-10-29 4:12 PM Yeah. Survival mode. That's where I'm at. mr2tony - 2012-10-29 2:07 PM Kido - 2012-10-29 4:06 PM Ima do some long runs this week, my long bike next weekend (three weeks seems pretty far out for a 6-hour bike ride) and then one more long run on Monday or Tuesday of next week. Then taper. Otherwise I'll feel like I'm not ready to rumble. mr2tony - 2012-10-29 2:03 PM mjh1975 - 2012-10-29 4:01 PM Yeah ... we'll see. I didn't do anything over the weekend. Sigh. The ironman is going to hurt. Bad. mr2tony - 2012-10-29 3:58 PM mjh1975 - 2012-10-29 3:49 PM If I run I'm going to go south on the trail. IF I go. mr2tony - 2012-10-29 3:45 PM mehaner - 2012-10-29 3:38 PM Shockingly yes. It's causing Lake Michigan to churn, which is going to cause the large waves starting this evening. Sucks. mr2tony - 2012-10-29 4:37 PM I actually dont mind the winter, just dont like it with three weeks to go til the race. Lakeshore path may be flooded today with 20-30 foot waves. is that cause the hurricane all the way out there?!@?!?! Might be a good idea to find somewhere else to run/ride tonight. Although, might be some good surfing weather if one is so inclined Come on down. The sun is out, windy and cold, but no rain nor waves. yes it will... Well, yeah. I'm good enough to not hurt myself if I don't push it too hard. I can get off the bike after 6 hrs and feel just fine. 2.5 hour runs still leave me sore, but they always have. I have my typical week this week and a 4.5 hr ride on sat, a 4k swim and a 2/1 hr brick on sunday for some icing on the cake. I will live through it, I suppose. I'm still hoping to run into you guys and just enjoy the company. Crazy as it sounds, if I have a good run, I COULD still maybe break 12 hours. But I'm still probably looking at 13. hmmm IM's are sad and lonely. I want company instead. |

I haven't heard of any such thing... Just kidding. I got 5 for you this morning. Question for TAN... If your pace booty slows to take a walk break, is it bad form to give them the "Come On! Get running!" cheer when you catch them? |

Nothing says "good job" like a firm hand to the butt. |
