swbkrun Mentor Group II- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! (Page 37)

i'll have my people call your people.  we way be able to work something out.

last i heard we have the best relay team heading that way.

Already regisyered for the 1/2!

Yep, yep, haven't signed up yet but will be doing it soon.

LOL,  here is the schwag from last year, I still have yet to find anyplace I can wear the finishers shirt, there is a cotton shirt under that pile that isn't bad, I do wear that sometimes.  BTW this is someone elses picture, we don't own a ping-pong table.

Still have clearance from the flight deck and a hotel reservation.  Hopefully, I will be able to lock it down firmly after Turkey Day (ours, not Canada's) when we firm up the Godson's first communion.  

Suzy....1/2 or Oly?  What did you decide?  I am still undecided on length for several reasons.

Good to hear from you!  

Speaking of Lost Souls.....Anybody heard from ANDY?

I inspired him a while ago with no response?

I would say yes if I thought the economy were to turn north, the banks would start lending some money so people would start building houses again.  I don't know that I am that optimistic.

That visor is awesome.  I wear it all the time.

I was thinking about Andy the other day as well.

Too funny Kyla,  there are days when I would love to post that ad!

Wooo Weeee - I did a trainer ride last night that had me doing 2 sets of Microbursts at 10min a pop.  My quads are sore!

I haven't either, I sent him an e-mail 2 weeks ago and haven't heard back. 

As for race distance I am doing the Olympic.  More time for lounging on the deck at Calhouns.

BTW - I would like to race as well but have to figure out kiddie care.  If they do come and we do not have care, is anyone still interested in the HIM relay?  I'm still up for the run.  Tony would be done by then and could take over kiddie care.

And I don't think leaving them at home will be an option.  They had so much fun last year.  They talked about their "summer house" for months after the race.

Dineen--doing the HIM.  Steve gave me the "no-go-Joe" on doing Boston since this makes the most sense for me.  won't be completely HIM ready, but I wasn't for Lonestar either and got a lot out of the race from a tactical perspective.

Tony--staying at the Sheraton Four Point across the street from the venue.  A tiny bit more expensive than where Dineen is staying, but close which I really liked in Galveston.

Barry--didn't you hear? the Tea Party movement is on the rise.  The economy can't get any worse than it has been in the last two years. And people do not give me political crap....

I too PM'ed Andy and never heard back from him.  Although I think he's doing LV with us????

I'll trade my 2 adolescent boys.  I'll even throw in a slightly post-adolescent husband.

I'll pitch in a 4 year old girl that's going on 14, a 6 year old boy that lies to his teacher that he's sick so he can hit on the nurse and a wife that doesn't nag but reminds agressively and often... ; )

x 2 , but my 2 teenage daughters.  I'll even throw in a semi High Maintenance Bride, free of charge!

Oh, and I fixed that for ya!

Ok that is funny! 

That is what I am counting on!  Go RED!

Anyone seen this?

http://www.swimovate.com/poolmatepro.html

I had heard about it but didn't know what the product name was.  I can't count laps at all so this would be great.  I have an Ironman watch but the lap counter is FUBAR'd

DON'T DO IT! It is the craziest thing to set up, EVER....I never got it to work, EVER.

bummer, The idea is great, I seriously forget laps doing anything more than 100's.

Counting - do the alphabet!  Lap 1 is A - names, animals, emotions....whatever.  Lap 2 is B, lap 3 is C....etc.

I do months...jan = 1, feb =2, etc...seems to work best for me...

tony, i'm sorry, i can't find the tempo trainer... 

I've gotten better by ticking off each 100 to about 500-600 yards, but after that forget it.  Then I revert back to elapsed time.  I pretty much know how fast I can swim 100 so estimate the rest.  I am sure the elite swimmers are puking over that idea, but it's just one of the many things I don't get all lathered up about in the pool anymore.  Makes my little life much more enjoyable.
