Master 10208  Northern IL | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Originally posted by switch Originally posted by brigby1 Yeah, cold weather is tough on the bike. Once it starts to come, have to cover everything to block the wind. When it's 50, additional things I'll add to that are full-fingered gloves, ski socks, a second pair of small socks, possibly knee warmers, possibly shoe covers. Depends on the wind, cloud cover and the progression of the temperature throughout the ride. At road bike speeds there is no hiding from it, if you miss, it can go right through you. Playing it safe is definitely a good call. Newspaper? Heard of, but never tried it (I have stuff |
). Is that something you'd want to do on a regular basis? Can't remember how much of that was a race tactic because of being wet from the swim.| 2013-09-26 10:51 PM in reply to: brigby1 |

Have a fun, but not necessarily fast race (they don't have to be mutually exclusive) *coughBencough* Hang out after the race (might be some drinking involved, maybe, possibly) Just a little PSA Hahahaha!!!

Master 6834 Englewood, Florida | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Originally posted by jobaxas I may change my user name to Jerry McGuire I have secured two definite sponsors for my little pro triathlete, Kieran Roche (remember that name it will means something in a few years) So he gets free tri clothing from one for the year - racing suits, compression socks, sleeves tights and accessories. Protein powder and supplements from the other as well as some funding. Second tier sponsorship from a third offering discount on Shotz. Next chasing up wetsuit and sunglasses and a bike box company. This is fun. SHOW ME THE MONEY. Jerry Mags, I think it really cool that you are working on behalf of this young man. This is a freaking expensive past time, I can't imagine the costs for a young person trying to start out as a pro. |

OK, notice a few things. 1) The man pictured above has very little discernible body hair. 2) The man pictured above has fairly well defined muscles. 3) The man pictured above resembles me in NO way at all. 4) Be careful what you ask for, I *may* have worn a formal suit of less size to a pool party with friends on a rather drink filled late night 3rd of July party. |

Master 6834 Englewood, Florida | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) I read an article this week about Captain Richard Phillips. He is the subject of a coming movie since his ordeal being held hostage by Somali pirates. His final line in the story is one that we might want to keep in mind for ourselves: "Nothing is over until you choose to give up." Today I choose to keep going. I hope everyone enjoys the weekend. No matter what it brings, choose to not give up. |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) I forgot to mention a very important bit of good news ... after trying FOREVER, I finally got into the SWIMSMOOTH COACHES NETWORK!!! Let's just say there are benefits to being the world's greatest swimmer's consort Other than that Kingsley is superlative in pretty much every category (except all the bad and useless ones), it's actually WONDERFUL to feel like a slow fat bumbling idiot next to him (when it comes to swimming). Why? Because I already live in a glorious riotous colorful world where swimming is concerned, and being exposed to Kingsley's experience and knowledge, and getting to train with him (and when in Perth, with his current coach) is like going under the rainbow to even more marvelous wisdom and adventure. I can hardly wait. |

| Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Originally posted by ponderingfox Originally posted by jmkizer Originally posted by ponderingfox Ride report from my aborted metric century on Sunday. Nice ride report! I know that I struggle with what to wear when the season change. I started to keep some good notes and that has really helped. I sometimes think that it's partially mental. In the spring 60 degrees sounds really warm and in the fall, not so much. The spreadsheet reminds me that I was "comfy" wearing whateveritsays in the past so I know that it'll be OK. That being said, I totally understand that it's no fun being cold and that this is supposed to be fun! I was layered, but not enough apparently. I had a long-sleeved compression shirt on, bike jersey, and then a hoody. That kept me warm the first lap with the exception of the extremities (hands and feet were freezing). On the second lap, everything was cold. It is tough to figure out what to wear in what temp/weather conditions when the temp starts dropping. Sweat seems to mess up my clothing choices, as in I'm fine until I start sweating heavily (which is a given unless I'm going 5mph) then things get chilly, especially if you stop for some reason. Sounds like you and your friends still had a good ride and fun time! Edited by melbo55 2013-09-27 8:50 AM |

Let's just say there are benefits to being the world's greatest swimmer's consort Other than that Kingsley is superlative in pretty much every category (except all the bad and useless ones), it's actually WONDERFUL to feel like a slow fat bumbling idiot next to him (when it comes to swimming). Why? Because I already live in a glorious riotous colorful world where swimming is concerned, and being exposed to Kingsley's experience and knowledge, and getting to train with him (and when in Perth, with his current coach) is like going under the rainbow to even more marvelous wisdom and adventure.

Kingsley wants to do an Ironman (and the race, too :D ) he was talking to his sister about it today and she's like, "Heck yeah, I'm in, too!" She's also the one who applied to work in Antarctica on a whim ... and she did. Nutters, the lot of them. Love them so |
