Bob Stocks' Group - CLOSED with some awesome peeps!!! (Page 35)

SWEET AVATAR!  Someone took a bite out of crime..the crime of excess sexiness, GRRRR. 

I am at the Wilderness Lodge.  I went for proximity and ease.  We will have to meet up and gather other BTers that are there. 

Yeah Baby!  BTW, is your B/F's name Kenickie, as in hickie from Kenickie! 

 Hey you stuck with it, even through the asthma, that is fantastic.  I might have tapped out.  I am proud of you!

See you this weekend, #917 is in the house!  The weather report is 90s and heavy winds, fun stuff for the ride.

 Huh, what is that?

Awesome Job John!

I heard the conditions were brutal (as usual).  Great job. 

thanks everyone.  Sorry I didn't see you teresa, I looked for a big hickie...

I am overall pretty happy for my first 1/2.  I felt like I left about 5 minutes or so on the bike and probably 10-15 min on the run.  I should have u turned and got my garmin instead of running on rpe.  I would have had a much better pace monitor and as a result would have pushed harder than RPE.  The run was crazy hot and with so many people walking on the narrow trails, it was easy to cut your pace down without being aware of it. Oh well, good tip for next time.

I am really happy with the swim, especially given that I almost ran into the guide boat twice as I veered way off course.  

So afterwards, I go down to the pool bar at the Wilderness Lodge and meet some good people.  I am chatting with one gal and we find out that we were within 8  seconds of each other according to our watches.  We thought that was kinda neat.  Anyway, we all go to watch the award ceremony (and I am hoping that 59 people that finished before me in my age group had left so I could get a Clearwater spot) and we look at the official times, the girl I had been drinking with finished 1 second before me right above my name.  What are the odds of meeting someone out of the 2000 entrants that is the person that finished a second before your?  I thought that was really cool.  

I just want to be half as fast as you.

Are you my mentor?

PUHLEEEEESE!! 

It appears that everyone is just kicking some royal bootay out there and has no more need for a mentor. I'm lonely

I have my first multisport race this weekend, an F1 Duo at Watkins Glen Speedway!! The transition area is in Pit Row!! I am psyched, this is Trixies area that I am treading on so I hope I make her proud!!

I figured everyone left for some new fangled April mentor group and would be posting to myself (which by the way always gives you good feedback).

As a side note, Trixie is my hero...why you ask, let me tell you:

(1) record setting triathlete banned from Kona to preserve the pros dignity,

    (a) her swim is so fast that she parts the water like Moses, you can actually run in her draft

    (b) her bike is made of Shuttle Thermal Protection Tiles to keep from melting when going so fast

    (c) The Kenyan national running team has her listed on their website as senior consultant to all fast things (I ahve heard that cheetahs are trying to mimic her stride) 

(2) Super model that uses a fan for the "wind in the hair effect" when posing on top of a cliff... oops...I was just looking at the water, did you take my photo?

(3) she is able to coerce impressionable minds to take photos of themselves naked on a bike for a contest named after her

The list goes on and on, feel free to contribute all!
