Enjoy! Originally posted by ceilidh Okay, We have half our team confirmed and drivers. Two more Manatees come and play with us!! With TJ, Now there are three. Manatees?!?!?? come out and play!! Karl, you should come and play with us! Drive, sherpa, test beer for us... DOOO EEETTT!!!  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) 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? we haven’t really gotten too specific, but right now I the thinking is 1 car. |

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED Originally posted by Hot Runner Oh no I'm so sorry. Heal quickly. Ugh. Got x-rays and it is a real mess. Need surgery and wiring. Flying back to US tomorrow. Probably taking indefinite hiatus from BT/ tri in general for now. Maybe Iron distance races in NZ are a bad idea, it think it was there that Yanti did a considerable mount of damage to herself. Edited by StaceyK 2019-02-19 7:13 AM |

I don't think we're going to have a dedicated driver, so we just need room for 4 + gear. We have 2 cars that can easily handle that - a Ford Edge and a Subaru Outback.

It's hard for me to make plans/commitment for November, but if the deadline is March 1, I will discuss it with my partner this/next week and make up my mind. If we come, we will have a Dodge Caravan, which would be available for a ride, but I don't want to make promises, as we may need to come with my kids (as super cool spectators ) Again, let me think about it before I make any promises. |

I didn't realize that this one was a possibility or I'd have been recruiting her! There is no single track -- lightly traveled paved and graveled roads is in the description -- but there will be night running for all four runners either in the 5am-8am (runners 1-3 at least) and in the 6:30pm-8pm time slot (I'm guessing runners 3-4 at least). Sunrise is not until almost 8:00 and Sunset is a bit after 6:30. |

Definitely let us know! Mary S is interested. She's checking with DH Good! I know I had talked to her about RAGNAR and she said that wasn't something that she could do. I didn't realize that this one was a possibility or I'd have been recruiting her! There is no single track -- lightly traveled paved and graveled roads is in the description -- but there will be night running for all four runners either in the 5am-8am (runners 1-3 at least) and in the 6:30pm-8pm time slot (I'm guessing runners 3-4 at least). Sunrise is not until almost 8:00 and Sunset is a bit after 6:30. Wearing a headlamp is ok for her once it gets lighter. I'm sure we could work around that. She's already looking at travel details! She says she's 99% in... |

Originally posted by jmkizer Originally posted by amd723 Originally posted by jmkizer Originally posted by amd723 Originally posted by jmkizer [[stuff deleted here]] 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? we haven’t really gotten too specific, but right now I the thinking is 1 car. I think that's what where we are with the transportation as well. So we'd need to seat 5-6 with space for gear. I don't think we're going to have a dedicated driver, so we just need room for 4 + gear. We have 2 cars that can easily handle that - a Ford Edge and a Subaru Outback. I suppose if we wanted to get all fancy we could rent a Suburban! When I did the Tuna Run, I know that I appreciated not having to drive/navigate when I wasn't running. This is shorter but twistier. Plus we can have more Manatees participate this way. I know that Karl really wants to drive up from Jacksonville to hang out with us! Oh I agree, it's way better for the runners to have a driver, just don't think we will be able to swing that, but we'll see! I'm confident Karl wants to make the drive to hang, for sure I will have to think about it. It's hard for me to make plans/commitment for November, but if the deadline is March 1, I will discuss it with my partner this/next week and make up my mind. If we come, we will have a Dodge Caravan, which would be available for a ride, but I don't want to make promises, as we may need to come with my kids (as super cool spectators ) Again, let me think about it before I make any promises.

Member 2689 Denver, CO | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED I'm definitely in and SO EXCITED!!! Can't wait to meet more Manatees! For those of you who don't know me, I'm a triathlete turned duathlete thanks to post concussion syndrome that affects my vision (I'm really motion-sensitive). I'm currently just running due to another concussion that made my symptoms worse, but I'm working in getting back on my bike. I can't participate much here because it's hard on my eyes. BUT I'm running and enjoying it. I just did a HM and have 3 more planned this year. I'm also hoping to be able to do an Olympic duathlon in August and maybe a shorter one in April. I live in Denver, have 2 border collies, a cat and a DH named Alex. |

Wish I could join you all, but don't think it is possible for me this year. |
