Veteran 345 Ocean Springs, MS | Subject: RE: Oriolepwr and QuincyF's Magical Mys-tri Tour "The Sequel" -On Tour!! OK...since I have some extra time at home today, I thought I would post all of our monthly training statistics. I saw this on another group forum, and it looks like a good way to keep up with what everyone is doing. It also might make you train a bit harder, when you see how your training compares to the rest of the group. If you don't want your stats posted just let me know and I'll take them out, and if you have some to add, I'll get them included next week when I update the list. It will probably be updated on Wednesdays, since that's my day off.

Expert 1358 Albuquerque, New Mexico | Subject: RE: Oriolepwr and QuincyF's Magical Mys-tri Tour "The Sequel" -On Tour!! OK, I have roughly 13k of swimming (baby the shoulder+my gym pool has been closed), 370 miles on the bike, and just about 100 miles running in the last 30 days... We've had a hard time fitting in 5 hour rides so the bike is a bit light...and my swim is light, so we've tried to never miss a run...not sure what that will buy me, except knowing that I am not undertrained in all three. Unfortunately by the time I get to the run I'm going to be so broken it probably won't matter, but it's the best we could do given our rough start this year. I'm going into the taper, sort of, now, so hoping the rest helps my race. |

Master 2484 St. Louis | Subject: RE: Oriolepwr and QuincyF's Magical Mys-tri Tour "The Sequel" -On Tour!! Sarah73 - 2012-08-22 12:20 PM This is awesome! Can you tell which exercise I like the least? :-). This is great because I've been procrastinating switching my runs to the morning so I can swim a couple nights per week. I'm so not a morning person so I keep coming up with excuses which has lead to a big fat zero for swimming this month. The pool is closed for maintenance for another week, so I have one more week of a free excuse :-).OK...since I have some extra time at home today, I thought I would post all of our monthly training statistics.

Master 1348 Gurnee, IL | Subject: RE: Oriolepwr and QuincyF's Magical Mys-tri Tour "The Sequel" -On Tour!! Had a fun Chicago Triathlon weekend at Q and Chris's Mysterio Pad in the city. We love hanging with our Iron buds... here is a kinda sorta race report. I had a miserable week of no sleep, as our A/C is out in the house and have not had any time to get it fixed. Essentially need a new unit. So been sleeping downstairs on the couch and needless to say it isnt exactly quality sleep. PLUS we have our new born (ok its a puppy needing to be walked in the middle of the night a few times) and work totally kicking my butt. Add to the drama of the girls first week of school. I feel good just showing up for the race. So we loaded up the urban assault vehicle with puppy supplies, kids, bike, tri paraphernalia, oh and and a bottle of Tequilla and headed to Chi-town. I was so like ready to relax when we got there. Needed it bad. we sat out and drank margaritas, craft beer with lots of Ironman talk with the kids all having a blast together while Rockford the puppy got baby sat by The Colonel. chasing each other around between our legs/laps etc. It was great. We got some of that yummo! Fresh garlic topped Piece Pizza and I had more than my share. Plus then stayed up wayyyy past my bed time. Here is a lil video that basically represents how I prepped for the Triathlon and the hilarity that ensued. I was in one of the first waves. wave 5 I think?? dunno cause despite the wave # emblazoned on my calf I ended up in like wave 9 or 10 as I missed my wave assignment. I was too busy blowing up the port-a-potty pre-race. Took a long time doing this. This race was a GI disaster of epic proportions. But strangely tons of fun. Have I not shared the Ryan's steakhouse story before? well here it is if you have not. The Ryan's steak house incident! So it was well, kind of like that story in the port a potty. I pity the person that used it after me. But I gotta race! See ya Q! Got to the race jumped in whatever wave was going off next. If this ever happens to you, your swim time equals the start of your wave plus whatever extra time it took for you to start. so after that I was all this is just for fun... Which basically that's what this weekend was all about for me. I then spent much of the bike and ALL of the run course attempting to keep poop explosion from rearing its ugly head till I could finish. Then well it happened in another port-a pot. look folks it isnt pretty, but sometimes its reality. I'm just going to say you pretty much are not gonna win the race in this sort of condition. I then watched Q-nita finish and we then while waiting for the beer tent to open and for her DH to meet us, we watched some Fiiiiiiine swimming action. Backstrokers wearing $600 wetsuits and this crazy Duck/Heron mixture bird hunting in the middle of the swim pack. It was hilarious. This bird was so like "I don't give a damn who you people are and what you are doing here swimming my hood. But screw you all. I'm doing my thing anyhow. Sometimes he would dive in the water and then a minute later pop out right in front of a swimmer. "What the hell was that???" We had great convo with this dude (Joe) that was standing next to us and we chatted it up for the rest of the swim and headed over to the food area as had not had any breakfast or anything. was starving. Food was the most vile stuff you could ever imagine. I found some nasty but still edible watermelon and pickles and it helped a bit. yes its the breakfast of champions. BTW Q kicked my a$$ totally and finished 4th in her age group 18th overall female. Impressive stuff. This while training hard for Ironman. So then we parted ways with Joe, but not before giving him a link to the Mys-tri tour group. Hopefully he'll show up here one day. We decided since it was about to rain we would ride back to the pad and meet everyone back there. So ride through the rain it was. Then a groovy champagne brunch complete with toxic waste/ ghost pepper salsa filled burrito's and the weekend came to a close. fun times fun times. Then..... I had to go to the bathroom this am and was like WTF did I eat? oooh yea ha! hows that for a race report? Edited by oriolepwr 2012-08-27 9:33 PM |

OMG, Rockford is the cutest puppy in the world and a very good boy. And can I just say that Dave is not exaggerating about The Colonel babysitting...my pugboy has a new crush, and it's a bromance with Rockford! We got some of that yummo! Fresh garlic topped Piece Pizza and I had more than my share. Plus then stayed up wayyyy past my bed time. Prior to this I had to put myself to bed after I realized I had fallen asleep at the table. The first thing that happens after fabulous garlic pizza and beer and a half gallon of margaritas is an overwhelming feeling of well being. Then your head hits the table. Here is a lil video that basically represents how I prepped for the Triathlon and the hilarity that ensued. Yep, that looks like a night at my house. I was in one of the first waves. wave 5 I think?? dunno cause despite the wave # emblazoned on my calf I ended up in like wave 9 or 10 as I missed my wave assignment. We left my house way too late and I sort of am not super great at finding my way downtown (hey I'm a city dweller...get me out of my 'hood and I'm worse than a suburbanite trying to find parking downtown for Taste.). We did get to see some poor guy take out his rooftop mounted bike on the city parking garage clearance sign...omen of things to come? Maybe. It was like that insurance commercial...makes me sick to think of it. I was too busy blowing up the port-a-potty pre-race. Took a long time doing this. This race was a GI disaster of epic proportions. But strangely tons of fun. Have I not shared the Ryan's steakhouse story before? well here it is if you have not. The Ryan's steak house incident! So it was well, kind of like that story in the port a potty. I pity the person that used it after me. But I gotta race! See ya Q! Dave just got unlucky. I was in wave 16, he was in wave 5. Our guts were in twin revolt...had the start times been reversed, I would have been doing the swim start of shame. for sure. We need to stop eating pizza before races! Maybe something sensible like chorizo/ghost salsa shooters. Or lighter fluid. Something benign. Got to the race jumped in whatever wave was going off next. If this ever happens to you, your swim time equals the start of your wave plus whatever extra time it took for you to start. so after that I was all this is just for fun...

Sometimes he would dive in the water and then a minute later pop out right in front of a swimmer. "What the hell was that???" I have video of the crazy triathlon duck, but it is hard to see him popping up and down. Seriously hilarious though. You can't make this stuff up. We had great convo with this dude (Joe) that was standing next to us and we chatted it up for the rest of the swim and headed over to the food area as had not had any breakfast or anything. was starving. Food was the most vile stuff you could ever imagine. I found some nasty but still edible watermelon and pickles and it helped a bit. yes its the breakfast of champions. I had the crappy watermelon too, and don't hate the pickles, they were actually kind of good. And what was going to happen? We were going to have tummy issues? Child, please. BTW Q kicked my a$$ totally and finished 4th in her age group 18th overall female. Impressive stuff. This while training hard for Ironman.

We decided since it was about to rain we would ride back to the pad and meet everyone back there. So ride through the rain it was. You forgot the part about where I got into a fight with the angry hipster chick with a milk crate on the back of her bike. She was overly competitive. And coming from me, that's saying a lot. I do envy her milk crate tho'. Was just the right size for a crock pot. Then a groovy champagne brunch complete with toxic waste/ ghost pepper salsa filled burrito's and the weekend came to a close. fun times fun times. Then..... I had to go to the bathroom this am and was like WTF did I eat? oooh yea ha! hows that for a race report? Genius |

On a different topic, are you thinking of doing a full IM next year and if so, which one? Anyone else in the group? If so, what race? I put together a potential list and my wife like B2B or IM Florida. I like Challenge Pentictcon or IMAZ but I have a minority vote :-).

BTW, is this leading by example? - just checking! Sorry to hear about the car accident Tom! Hope your headaches go away soon. Scary stuff.Leading by example? A valid question. It all depends on how you look at it. I've been at this run/bike/Tri thing for quite some time. Ive run nearly 100 races over the past 5 years. Been super serious with it, sacfriced fun, family, relationships in the name of performance. Now i have gone the other direction put family, fun, relationships ahead of performance. I have gone from couch to 5k to 3 marathons in 56 days. From sprint tri to Ironman. I do know how this goes. How it feels to go from sedentary to obsessive physical activity. The entoire range of emotions, ups and downs of many injuries. When you conquer a level and seek out a new level there is excitement. Keep addimg distance and more excitement. Much of the excitement comes from conquering the unknown. Not knowing if you will be able to handle the distance. After my ironman last year, im left with the knowledge that I can overcome, and go the distance. Thus that fear of the unknown is no longer there. Events are now anti-climatic. They dont lead anywhere in particular for me. They used to be a means to an end. Now they are celebrations to me. Not of ultimate performance but of showing I dont have to be a maniac about it. But but...... I really DO miss truly competing and being in the right shape to compete. So i am adjusting my thoughts. Have fun, enjoy, keep In balance and then kick butt on the course. That is my goalmfor 2013. So perhaps not exactly a lead,by example, just a real guy going thru real life stuff and making adjustments along the way. Just farther along in the process so i can share what its like and what to watch out for. Prayers for Shells, Sarah and Alicia! Heck prayers for all of you. I am truly thankful for you all. |

Veteran 288 | Subject: RE: Oriolepwr and QuincyF's Magical Mys-tri Tour "The Sequel" -On Tour!! Well, now my doctor wants me to stay out of the water. I need to have the battery on my defibrillator replaced soon. According to its memory, it went off last May for 20 seconds. So the Doc would prefer me to stay out of the water should it happen and I pass out. Yee Haa. So I will not be doing the Atlantic City tri in 2 weeks. I am free to duathlon's if I so choose. I will be getting it replaced in late September and then I'll be able to resume training. The good news, I'll be FULLY CHARGED for Memphis. Dave, thanks for the remarks. I appreciate all your comments and leading by example. You and Q are doing an awesome job and I can only hope to reach the accomplishments you have done. I completely agree with you about stepping up the goals. I'm looking forward to an Oly next year and maybe running a half marathon. Tom |

Master 1348 Gurnee, IL | Subject: RE: Oriolepwr and QuincyF's Magical Mys-tri Tour "The Sequel" -On Tour!! ransick - 2012-08-28 9:38 PM oriolepwr - 2012-08-28 12:43 PM Haha, luckily I wasn't eating at Ryan's Steakhouse or I would have lost it right there :-). On a different topic, are you thinking of doing a full IM next year and if so, which one? Anyone else in the group? If so, what race? I put together a potential list and my wife like B2B or IM Florida. I like Challenge Pentictcon or IMAZ but I have a minority vote :-). Wife wants me to do NOLA 70.3 again too because she had a blast in New Orleans and she doesn't drink.ransick - 2012-08-28 12:37 PM Too funny, though I shouldn't have read that while eating my lunch. I'm no longer hungry and my salad is only half eaten :-(
You owe me a lunch Dave :-) You weren't eating at Ryan's Steakhouse were you? Mike I'm re-assessing race plans. I'm not sure on a 140.6 next year. My thought was to do a destination IM such as Challenge Pentictcon, Coeur d'Alene, it was St. George but thats out. But the thing is, I want to do it right. There just is not much of a point for me to do IM again unless I do it right. I do not think I can handle budget wise with the other events I'd like to do. Door County I WANT to do again. Would be great to do that again with you. Memphis in May- (the official Mys-tri tour race) Heck I've even cancelled the idea of Escape from Alcatraz which I have been entering the lottery in hopes of doing. Too expensive of a trip wah. Soooo My current thought for IM is to give myself a time deadline to be at race weight, and to handle the rest of my life in great balance. If I do that by X date, then I will sign up for say IM-Louisville its not a crazy drive from here and does not fill up. Not my dream race, but I can't have everything. Perhaps I can have my dream location for IM #3?? OMG hope my DW does not read that or I'm in TROUBLE! NOLA would be awesome but its a commitment trip cost wise. I would HATE to plan that one in stead of others then have them cancel the swim AGAIN. If I do not do IM I would like to do TWO 70.3 So thinking Branson perhaps in addition to Door UNLESS I do meet my training/weight goals and drop in to Louisville. My suggestion for your IM is to keep doing what you are leaning towards. Whichever one your wife would support the most. Edited by oriolepwr 2012-08-29 6:46 PM |
