Ruby's the 50's diner is at the end of that pier now. Great views of the ocean. Darwin is at work. There are still a few surfers out there. Am sure at least one of them will be wiped out of the gene pool shortly. I don't swim well enough to deal with ocean waves yet. Most of my swimming is in the pool. Occaisonally in a lake or a protected ocean cove where there aren't any waves. Besides, ocean temps right now are 57 degrees and I don't own a wet suit. Exhibit C sure is cute Mila. Did he get your or boy toy's looks? 8 miles running today. 75 degrees at 9 am. Gonna be a hot summer. What's summer? Heh
Summer -- that time of year that they call in Minnesota "road construction" ... SAL, for your benefit, Summer is when things aren't all white..... For everyone else, Minnesota has two seasons... Winter and Road Construction. I'll never know how I survived almost 9 years in that climate...... I like warm.... No snow flurries here! Edited by UTTriman 2008-02-28 10:44 AM |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hmmm. I thought Utah was the place with 2 seasons (winter and road construction). I think this year, though, it's the year of the pothole. And I mean big ones, as in swallow my new pathfinder potholes. Rock chip in the middle of my windshield potholes. I look like I'm drunk swerving across the road to avoid multiple potholes, potholes. I grew up here and I don't remember it being this bad since I was a kid. And maybe not even then. *Now back to your regularly scheduled tri-related talk* |

LOL!!! Those are some potholes!! I do miss being close to good skiing (yeah, shocker, North Carolina doesn't really qualify... especially since the boy toy was born and raised in Colorado) but I don't miss the real kind of cold and I definitely don't miss potholes!! |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hear ya on the potholes. Well, for the record, I completed goal number two today of our "interteam mentor challenge" by completing my own personal triathlon today (and to help someone be a bit more askered).... Felt really good. Now my running and swimming goals for the month are met, and I've only got 23 miles on the bike to go. Hope to get most of that done in the morning in the form of a spinning class, and then maybe an afternoon ride on my freshly tuned, cleaned, spruced up bicycle. Now back to the important stuff, like potholes, sal's love of cheescake, and the latest episode of "As Mila's World Turns" (though you might like that, Mila) To the sickies in the team -- go get better please!

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Been focusing on Crits, TT's and Road Races for now, trying to move up to CAT 4. My first Tri of the year will be St. Anthony's the last weekend of April! Looks like I missed sign up for the 1/2IM here At Disney World, so looks like I will be going to Macon to do the Rock and Roll 1/2IM there. That works out great for all, since my GF's parents live nearby, and its Memorial Day weekend! Should be a good weekend! UTTriman - 2008-02-29 9:06 PM Things are gonna get interesting in here.

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Well, up hear in the frozen tundra, you do races when people are willing to offer them... Did the Frozen Half Marathon in January as my first for 2008, then there will be a LONG break until the end of next month. 10K with my wife, Matchman (Tom) and teachertrek (Becki) are supposed to be there too: Marathon in mid-May up der in Fargo, yah, ya betcha: Then the BIG ONE (Half Ironman): http://www.libertytri.com/raceinfo.html#long%20course After THE BIG ONE, my season kind of tapers nicely, a few Olympics and a few sprints to close out the season. Yeah, it's backwards, but this is just another training year for THE BIG KAHUNA!: http://www.ironmanflorida.com/ It will depend on if I can get a slot in 2009 and if my wife and I can schedule a nice long vacation around it... Have a great 2008! |

If you are thinking of doing IMFL at some point, GC is an excellent race to do because it's held on the IM course. I can't remember if we talked about this before. I believe it's the first weekend in May. I might be there to jockstrap. Macon is a great race and quite a challenge. Read up on last year's race reports.

Have a great 2008! Best way to get a spot for 2009, in all seriousness, is to volunteer this year. As an added incentive, I will be there and will be bringing it cowbell style in the most sassalicious way.

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Think my next will be late April at the Cal State Long Beach Tri. If I could learn to swim, I might do some more open water tri's. G/f has tri in the morning at UCLA. She hasn't been in the pool or on her bike since this race last year. But she is getting in one run a month. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I thought about it, but as it turns out since I could not get into IMFL, I am going to to do the Great Floridian right here in Clermont! I figure since cycle out there regularly, and can train on the exact course of the race, and run a few of the races over the summer. It seems to be a good training / racing plan for doing my first Full! milaminute - 2008-03-01 9:20 PM Lwoodtri - 2008-03-01 8:39 AM Been focusing on Crits, TT's and Road Races for now, trying to move up to CAT 4.
