SWBKRUN Mentor Group-"Off Season?" What is that?!! (Page 305)

swbkrun - 2009-10-16 2:03 PM

Thermolytes (same thing as endurolytes) and Roctane (Ryan is a fan of that stuff) 

But I use GU and Thermolytes.  I think Roctane has a higher electrolyte count so you can void the pill?? MAYBE?!

DougRob - 2009-10-16 2:24 PM I am signed up for Augusta as my first 1/2 IM and my 2010 A race. I will be driving down with a buddy who rode it this year. Maybe I'll see ou there.

fattyfatfat - 2009-10-16 1:01 PM Disappointed!  I got bit by dog today. I always envisioned a wrestling match with a german shepard or something.  But I'm out at about mile 40 today and this little terrier, 10 pounds if he was soaking wet, comes charging at me and bites me in the foot two or three times.  It was so damn funny.  Oh well.  Here's to hoping for a good fight next time.

Thanks Steve and all, I like Roctane but haven't worked out with it much since it's more expensive for some reason.

My team has a group order coming up soon, will be stocking up on GU's  might pick up some Roctane to have around.

fattyfatfat - 2009-10-16 12:19 PM Well....... as I finally get a chance to get caught up on you guys today today, I wight as well let you guys know. Seems appropriate considering some of the posts.  Sucks but I know it was the right thing to do.  Sorry about the cut and paste from email.....

I'm out for IM Switzerland.  Not so much bummed about the race but more for going back to Europe.  Jarrett and I talked about it for a few months and we felt good about it but really it comes down to me being selfish and trying to do way too much.  Yeah the training but leaving the children to go.  Maybe it’s stupid but I just can't do this and not have them be there waiting for me at the end. 

So I'm going to sit back and see how the winter goes and maybe into the spring before I decide what to do IM wise.  IMLP might be an option as most of my family is still up there.  Of course IMFL would be the best bet training wise simply becasue of the similar geography.  But maybe the best thing to do is hold off and see if we get an IM here which I think may happen.  Nothing to base that off other than Lone Star went 70.3 and the company that puts on the race is tentatively putting on a 1/2 marathon next November in Galveston.  Not hard to see what they are angling for.

Who knows?  I liked the half a lot. There are a lot of them which makes for good travel op's.   And then, most importantly, this opens up Augusta.  Jarrett's family is there and the lake house is only an hour away. So if you miss Lone Star, then we drink a lot of beer and bust out a 70.3 with a wicked hangover!

It seems they may refund 75% which is very nice of them considering what I signed.

The question has already been raised if I'm keeping the coach.  Yup.  I'm seeing some incredible improvement so why not.

You guys rock!

DougRob - 2009-10-16 9:26 AM My job usually requires me to travewl overseas 6 times a year on average. Therefore travel by myself for vacation is unfair to the family as I am absent too much as it is. Bringing them to a tri I just found (at Pinehurst) is very distracting. They have no idea how to work to my schedule so that I can mentally focus on the event at hand. Maybe when they are older.

The kids said they both want to do a kids triathlon next year, so we'll see. But seeing as how they put up with my training, a long distance tri is not in the plans.

Just got back from Charleston where I was working for the week and my whole family has had the swine flu all week.  I am trying to avoid it like the plague...wish me luck.

fattyfatfat - 2009-10-17 9:58 AM

How's the avoidance going Barry?  Hope the family is feeling better.

fattyfatfat - 2009-10-17 8:21 AM Thanks everyone. As always, you guys are AWESOME!  I think I'll go find some Swiss beer and pound a few.
