That would relieve my DH if the duty.Originally posted by ceilidh I love White Duck Taco. I love Asheville's craft beer scene even more. The only problem is that I'm not currently running and don't see it in my immediate future. Sounds like a really cool event for the running folks. Enjoy!

Master 8247  Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED Will try to write more later... Short answer is race was truly as beautiful as advertised--not a mile or kilometer of anything less than breathtaking scenery--but hideously hard course. The swim was not bad--cold water but nothing you don't see at Calgary or CDA and certainly worse in some places. I had thought 66 but race day water was actually 62.5. For here that is warm. Bike course has NO flat parts at all (at least it seemed that way). Nothing epic but just constant up and down; very windy in most parts. Not the best course for a low-end road bike more suited to touring. We also just didn't seem to click fit-wise--by the end it was killing my back, butt, and girly parts. Plus very rough roads--like the chip-seal in Idaho, the entire way except for a few miles through Wanaka and some other small towns en route. The run was also gorgeous--75% trails except for (of course) going up and over a ginormous hill through a residential area. I was having a great run (after a total washout of a bike--almost 50 minutes over my best time and actually slower than my first HIM) until I tripped on something (my feet? rock? tree root?) with about 2 miles to go. Managed to finish but really messed up my elbow. I went to medical after and they didn't think it was a fracture but things just don't seem right....will spare you the gory details. So our last day in NZ will probably be spent at the hospital. And, of yes, our bike tour in Australia starts Tuesday. Will never forgive myself if we have to cut our trip short because of my stupidity. I am kicking myself now for insisting on doing this race...supposed to be Mom's bucket list trip as well. |

Hoping your elbow is just bruised and your plans don’t have to be altered. The race sounds brutal, congrats on getting it done! |

Master 2429 Falls Church, Virginia | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED Bit of Proof of Life (thanks for the nudge, Janyne!) Soooo, pretty crazy these last couple of weeks. Long story short, my husband got naturalized last week (the end of a very long process) and my brother is suddenly now a civilian for the USAF being moved to London in a couple weeks. Also family yada yada, work yada yada, etc.  All good things, but wow has time gotten away from me. |

. I know exactly how it feels to do something like that in a race and pay for it for a very long time. Be gentle with yourself. One of the things that helped me was to KEEP coming back to BT for support. We're here for you - please keep us updated.| 2019-02-18 12:25 PM in reply to: Hot Runner |

I apologize for not being up to date with this exciting opportunity, I assume something crazy is going on November 2nd... 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) |

Land and Sky Relay (Asheville to Cherokee) As I understand it, we have three (ish) runners and some number of drivers/sherpas. I think that Robin wants to get this nailed down by early March. I think that we would like to fill the remaining spot(s) with Manatees but will recruit outside Manateeland starting March 1 or so. Runners: TJ, Melanie, Janyne, YOUR NAME HERE Drivers: Robin, possibly Mr. Robin or Karl So we need one (or five) more runners and commitment from Karl. ;-) Ann-Marie is also running on a team. Hands, are you guys planning on having one car for or two cars leap-frogging each other? |
