Beth and Yanti's Manatees Mentor Group--FULL! (Page 35)

Good luck to the racers and remember, we fully expect links to the RR's as soon as they are up!

Leslie - hope you had a great time at your fancy dinner

Melissa - sounds like a wise decision to take the weekend off! 

BunnyB - 2008-06-29 2:49 AM Just took at peek at the race website for Yanti and the results are up. Her bib number was 13 if you want to do a search. Bali International Triathlon Results WTG Yanti! Looks like you had a great swim! Looking forward to reading your RR when it's ready.

YAY Bunny! You are the best cheerleader ever.

The swim ... actually, it WAS great, especially since it wound up being a 1.5 mile course rather than 1.5K. This is what happens when you mix international units up ... you know there's something really wrong when the Ironman-champ race leader comes out of the water at 28 minutes!

Now I must get back to Buffalo Springs!

This has been quite interesting to follow an international race and a local race.

Have a great weekend!!!

Here are the gory details of my first race.  As you will see I rolled up to the AG win because the first female was someone 43-49!!  How cool is that?  There is hope for us all. Older ladies rule.

Erin, bummer on the screw up on the 10K.  I definitely know how that feels after my last duathlon.  The good news is deep down you did PR it based on your race and YOU know it!

Awesome Job Suzy!! 

It's soooooooo quiet in here!  How's everyone doing?

Hey all....just keeping busy with summer and the kids....took my youngest out for a spin in the bike trailer this morning....now, that is a hard workout!!  He's much heavier than last summer (as am I, ugh).  Trying to decide on a tri July 12 or not.  $$$ always an issue.

So, what are you going to do about it??  I am sure if you had to you could become a morning person.....addiction is addiction and you will find a way to get your fix!!

That's a tough one Erin!  That is funny about your training being your first thought - actually, I can totally relate.  The first thing I did when it looked like this job might become a reality was to go online and try and figure out what kind of gym access was available.  I even posted in the PA thread before I was even offered the job - LOL

I am also far from a morning person, however I did manage to do the morning workout thing for 2+ years - I had a couple of workout partners and that kept me going.

Any chance you could find someone to work out with you in the mornings? 

That would be a hard workout!  You should get bonus points  

Oh, and I'm doing pretty well - the travel thing is getting harder and harder, every time I'm home it's more difficult to get back on that plane and fly out to PA

I am still loving the new job and especially my boss and co-workers, it's a refreshing change from my previous situation that is for sure!  I just am getting anxious to have my fam move out here.

No word on the house -

I registered for a sprint on July 27, it's a nice little race that only costs $45 to enter - yippee!  (it's the first tri I ever did, I did a little better last year - I'm anxious to see how I do this year!) 

thanks!

It is exhausting, I guess it's just one of those situations where you do what you have to - hopefully they will move out here the end of August, beginning of Sept.

I wish we would get an offer on the house!

Hi Shawn!  It's good to hear from you   How is the hammy doing?  I'm guessing it's better since you got in all that running!

Good job  

I think it is perfectly reasonable that it would be on your short list to consider.  Every time I have to travel for work, I always wonder "how am I going to get my work out in?".  Same thing happens when we go on vacation.  Probably frickin weird to a lot of people.

The job thing is tough.  If you really want it for career advancement maybe you have to adjust your tri expectations in the short term while you grow to love a morning routine. If you pass it up, will there be another down the road? do you care?  Lots to think about, but I am sure you will know what is right for yourself.  Remember no regrets with whatever decision you make.

I hope you get an offer soon.  I have done long commute jobs before, but nothing like you have gone through, ever.  I think you are really strong.  I know it gets old.  HUGS your way.
