Master 10208   Northern IL |  Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes)Originally posted by switch Hey Gang, I have a couple of questions. 1) How do you put the list of Manatees with the links on the front of your training log. Many of you have this, and I would like to follow suit. 2) I would love to know what everyone's plans/goals are going into the off-season. Some people have goals listed in the from part of their logs, but it would be nice to hear what people are reaching towards these days, if you don't mind sharing Get faster. Building back up some volume in everything for a few weeks. Swimming will have intensity as able. Likely to put in a few swim heavy blocks. Bike will have some solid volume for a bit without the highest intensity, add that in later. Not all of it will easy, but also not *that* hard for awhile. Running will build back up for a bit, just getting mileage. Not as much as I did last year, but something sustainable while pushing the other two. Add a little intensity later on after regularly getting in some miles, and it won't interfere with the other two. |

Master 4452  | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Originally posted by Asalzwed Originally posted by bcraht OK, I know what the Manatee answer is, but I want to know the "Voice of Reason" answer. Am I crazy to be considering racing another HM on Nov 3rd? How do you feel in terms of recovery as well as your injuries? That's not that crazy, assuming you recover well and are in good health and I hate the "dooo eeeet" stuff. It gives you a little less than a month to keep your volume up and then taper down again. Interestingly, I am feeling good. I have/had a bit of soreness in my quads, but nothing that I didn't expect. My foot also feels good--I am pretty sure it was an orthotics issue and I seem to have figured that out. Cold is not totally better, but not progressing either. Hows the new job? |

If you're feeling good after this last one and think you can keep up the training volume needed, I don't think it's crazy at all and you should go for it! |

After it I will re-evaluate, but will probably be more run focused. I am planning a February 25k trail race and before that may do a December HM. In March I may start a get faster program for all 3 sports, but we'll see. What are your plans? ETA: i will also probably start back with TRX. That's what I was thinking. Not all of us are past our A races yet! |

Coughing and general malaise turned into 103+ fever. DH came home early because I couldn't take care of the kids. Shivering under two fleece blankets/sweatshirt/socks changed to soaking all of it through like I was lying in a sauna. I fell asleep right after I got 103 reading, and woke sweating but cooled. Everything aches right now, and DH said I looked better after giving birth to a 9lb kid. Ha! I know I sound like a baby, but I just don't ever get sick like this. It's freaky being almost totally incapacitated while your body fights off bugs. Ooooh, dear Erin...hope you feel better soon. Your symptoms sound so un-fun. Hope you're on the mend soon Erin. xo. Me too!!!!!!!!!!! Add me to the group that wants you to feel better. A doctor may be in order. Nooooo!!!! No more sick Manatees!!!!!!!!!!! Praying for you too Chris. Oh no, I'm not illin'. I just want Erin to get better!!!! |

It's one of those funky things that we didn't have a good chain of distribution so we package em up and send them out to the different markets. | 2013-10-02 12:42 PM in reply to: bcraht |

Master 9705 Raleigh, NC area | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Originally posted by switch 2) I would love to know what everyone's plans/goals are going into the off-season. Some people have goals listed in the from part of their logs, but it would be nice to hear what people are reaching towards these days, if you don't mind sharing I'll rephrase your question to what are my plans/goals for the winter. After B2B, I plan to take a bit of time for recovery and then start a run focused block culminating in the Myrtle Beach Marathon in February. Then I'll want to more serious about the bike so that I'm ready for spring riding. The plans are all a bit loosey-goosey because I'm pretty focused on B2B right now. Others have listed the following for their goals. TJ - Run more. Find another winter half marathon and then train for a Jun HIM. (Nearing 500 miles in 2013 which surpasses the running that she did in all of 2012!) What about you, Switch? |

Master 9705 Raleigh, NC area | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Judi, Did you ever get ideas about solid food to eat during your long runs? I have been thinking about you but I didn't respond because I can easily do solid food on the bike but not so much on the run. Well, not in an open marathon at least When have done IM marathons I've had pretzels, flat cola, chicken broth, Clif Shot Blocks, peaches (at Vineman) -- basically what sounded good at the time. What have others had success with (when gels don't do it for you)? |

I really like it but can't describe it. Almost modern rustic-ish? Yeah. Where is the store located? Most likely the "palette" (as we call them) is "Herritage" At least that is my guess from what you described. We have a couple palettes here that help guide our decision making. Nothing set it stone though.
But that's not my job anymore. |
