Mad Manatee Mentors CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) (Page 34)

YAY!!!!!!! 

The next bit of fun will be moving in and getting all the utilities set up.  Oh, and buying more furniture.  I know how much fun you have buying furniture.

Yippee for not being homeless!

I've put purple back on my chart. In the pool for a slower than usual (and that means reeeeaaaallly slow) swim. But gotta restart somewhere sometime.

Ha!!  The utilities will HOPEFULLY be less painful than trying to get the cable/internet service switched over, but I'm guessing that we'll have to wait and see on that one, as the Austin Utilities website is allegedly down for servicing at the moment and their customer service department is "unable to assist customers until further notice".  Oh well. 

As for furniture... we've already got a game plan in place!!  Lol! 

Oh, and there will be another mini shopping spree for when we get to bring Brisket home too.  WOOOT!!  :D 

Have you thought through the name choice. I thought Brisket had a single meaning in Texas!

Congrats on the house!!!! 

I know!!  YAY!!  

Man, that homeless thing would have sucked, I don't think I would have done well with living in the car with Tony and the 2 cats.

Yaaaaaay!

Lol - that's the name she came with, so we're keeping it... but I've promised Tony that the next dog we get (which will be another rescue pup) he gets to name it, and he's already set on "Disco"   

Thanks!!  

I agree!!!  

The cats are going to have a conniption.  First they get moved again, then you're bringing in a dog.  Gonna be fun times!!!!  (You did make sure Brisket's okay with cats, right?)

Such fun with the house!

Just call her Bri (ee).  I bet they adjust quickly to name changes...especially if they've gone through "lock-up" and foster. Pogo was Buttons (didn't suit him or roll off the tongue), and he answers to it just fine.

Four of our five critters were rescues. None of them kept their "inmate" name.

congrats on a great swim and no back issue!

Crazy times and chatty manatees!

Salty - sorry to hear your day in court got postponed, frustrating for sure.  It will be good to finally put it behind you, so hopefully it doesn't take months to get rescheduled.

Neil and Erin - congrats on getting chlorinated!

Monica - YAY to the house!!

Ben and Matt - congrats on being speedy!

Sorry other manatees who did great, awesome things that I now can't remember because it was 6 pages ago!  I'm not purposely ignoring you and your accomplishments, I just have Swiss cheese brain.  Forgive me, please.

Something else to keep in mind is that while the event itself can be considered more than double, the training isn't necessarily going to be. I think a big part of building up over time can be more about learning to handle the demands of the training volume. You can learn a lot about pushing and recovering in them, all the while building more fitness. When you eventually get there, the difference in the training may be mostly having to fit in the biggest workouts and a little less learning about the larger training volume in general. It's a lot to take in all at once.

I'M PART OF A LOCAL TRIATHLON TEAM! I missed the cutoff, but was able to plead my case and get on Team HFP.  Their tri uniform looks pretty sweet, have to say.  I'll try to get some picks up as I get things sorted out.  Being part of a local team is cool because sometimes it's hard to find other people who can relate to triathlon. Excited!

Holy cow guys, email tells me I'm 90-some posts behind.
