Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 329)

LOVE IT!!!  Where would I get those?  

try www.cafepress.com

I thought a couples massage but I think they are particular about their massage therapy and I don't know who they go to. 

Thanks for asking, Chris. I got my stitches out today, so that makes me feel better. He said to give it until Monday before swimming. I have missed the pool.

I haven't done any real trail running, but the fam and I did some short trail hiking/walking this weekend, which was nice. Even my 12 year old said, "This trail would be great for running!" We really wanted to run.

I still don't know what's going on the weekend of the Trail run and half marathon. I haven't signed up for the trail run yet, just because I know I can sign up for it that morning if I decide I want to do it. I'm supposed to be going to New Mexico on that Sunday after the half marathon, but I haven't heard yet what time I need to be in New Mexico or how I am getting from the airport to the site, which is not that close to the airport (hours a way). So I am still planning to run the half and tentatively planning on the trail run, but it is possible that I will have to DNS the half, and just run the trail, or that I will decide against the trail run the morning of.

Did you follow all of that??? LOL

Boooo to the stress fracture.    And more boooo to the boot... hmmm... maybe that can be a new "niche market" for Fluevog? 

Heal up fast - and no more stress fractures! 

Tried there.    They all say, I don't do triathlons, I do a triathlete.   It was a good thought though, thanks. 

Keep the suggestions coming.   I have until tomorrow night to get something so probably something I can buy local is my only option.  

Hi Nancy and welcome to the crazy, yet awesome, somewhat dysfunctional, but in the most fun way possible pod of Manatees! 

At the top where the drop down menus are, if you hover over the "races" tab there should be "search reports" if you're looking for past race reports of a certain race.  Once you find the race you're looking for, you can also choose to look at them all, or the specific years for which reports were written. 

Hope this helps! 

(fyi - I'm Monica aka Tangerines according to her Yantiness)

OMG - that's an awesome suggestion!  I wish I was that creative, I'm just not.  Sorry! 

Hmm, music and the ability to zone out all extraneous thoughts.    Flick a switch and go.   Mental discipline it takes.  *Does his best Yoda impression*        

Races > Find a Race

After you find what you are looking for, click the Reports button.

Have any t-shirt making shops nearby?

I've done up to 5 hours on the drainer before - but had to have movies/tv shows to distract me from the fact that I was on the drainer.  I also had to get off the bike every hour or so to try and stretch out my back. 

My apologies to Yoda for my lack of mental discipline!

Oh awright, I guess I'll be me again

I thought I'd purchased the pic of me passing the chica at TFTC but I couldn't find the official pic or the email so I went with the TT pic.

Plural (triathletes) is probably not appropriate for a wedding.     Although, if they were in Utah.....

Dilemma:

There is a century ride this weekend in Tullahoma.    Weather looks good but still on the warm side.  Tullahoma is a 90 minute drive from here.  Just was reminded that there is another quasi-local century on the east side of Huntsville on the 21st.  Thats a 70 minute drive.      Weather in late September is the best weather we get all year.   Leaves don't turn around here to October.   Scenery for both is about the same. 

I would like to do both.   It is too much to do and if I do both if there enough time to recover from the first to do the second?

The first has 5364 feet of climb.   It seems to mostly be spread over a lot of "little" climbs.  The second has just about the same amount of climb, 5000 ft, but it looks to be mostly on one serious climb. 

Cheeky answers appreciated.....

How well did you recover from that big trainer ride recently? I can normally go noticeably longer on outdoor rides than the trainer and be fine, in terms of both tired of the saddle and just being tired.

It took two days to fully recover from the 4 hour trainer ride.   Sunday I rode for 45 minutes.  Monday I rode for an hour. Today I only rode for 30 minutes, mostly to make my blood pressure behave.   If I can find the time I will ride for two hours tomorrow. 

You have spare time? 

You're not doing it right. 

Oh geeze. I'm too lazy to look at your training but as long as you have been biking somewhat consistently you are totally fine.

I did a double century, back to back days and you all know how I feel about bikes.
