Yanti & Salty RidiculoSnarky Almost Intelligent-Charming Manatees PART 4 - Full (Page 4)

Sorry.

Janyne entrusted me with the Racing List.

She should've known better.

Oooh, how fun! GO FELICIA and GO BEN!

You also sound like you're feeling better at the altitude.

Happy Saturday guys!  The kids and I went to a baseball game last night.  It was fun but a super late night.  Today we are staying home and getting Alex and Liam packed for camp and watching the Olympics. 

I talked to Bryan this morning.  He's in Pattaya, Thailand.  Anyone ever been there and have a good recommendation for stuff to do.  He is not into go-go bars and hookers so he's not sure what else to do. 

He should go hang out with the elephants! The elephant jungle treks are awesome. Hm. It might actually be called the Pattaya Elephant Park, not sure ... (lemme check) no no, it's Pattaya Elephant Village.

Day snorkeling trips are really lovely, too. Anyplace with PADI master divers that isn't either upcharging or downcharging should be fine.

If he doesn't have a chunk of time, there are really nice places to eat.

She is really, really solid and it's a gorgeous, friendly course. GO JANYNE!!!

I continue to pray for you and DD. Such painful circumstances but it's wonderful that she feels she can, and does, call you.

Not only did I take an extra rest day this week ... I did nothing but take a walk today. Again, I coulda put in a trainer ride or any number of things, but I have a (semi) long run on tomorrow as well as a swim and I'd rather just put in a fresh, solid effort on key workouts than arbitrarily put volume in. Especially on a (self-imposed, I might add) pull-back week.

THANK YOU!

Ben and I did our 5k this morning -- mostly walking, some running. His achilles is bothering him. We decided to walk uphill and run down. Matt Carpenter wasn't there, so that was a little disappointing, but not a big deal.

Then we went to Seven Falls, Cutler Peak (?), and Helen Hunt Falls. All together, maybe 4-5 hours of hiking/climbing. My legs are burning. Then we drove back to the camp via Old Gold Mine Road. Awesome. Two amazing unreinforced tunnels -- you just see the stone/rock/granite that they blasted through on a two-way (??) dirt road winding on the edge of a mountain -- no guard rails (for "wimps" my husband says) -- where you have to honk before you turn a blind corner, and if someone is coming, someone has to pull over to make room. A very fun drive. My husband and I were both wishing we had mountain bikes -- so many cool trails. A lot of people up there having fun today.

We break camp tomorrow morning from here and drive on up to Divide, CO to Mueller State Park. Internet there will definitely be iffy.

Missing everyone and hoping that the racers are having fun this weekend.

Felicia

Congratulations Janyne!  Now I can go to sleep

Way to go Janyne!

Absolutely fantastic result Janyne. I could only get to your 2nd bike time before i crawled to bed here in the UK, but it's now 6.45am and your update was the first thing i wanted to know. Glad to see you made it through safely. Can't wait for the RR. Have a great rest and enjoy your vacation time, you freakin IRONMAN you.!!!

Off to see if i can find a live feed for Kirsten's HIM Cagary.

Manatees rock this weekend!!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS SUPER AGAIN IRON JANYNE !!!

I'm really proud of him. This is definitely the longest he's run/walked. I gave him bail out options, but he wouldn't take them. "I'm not going to let a little injury keep me from achieving my goal!" So he hung in there, and ran it into the Trading Post. We were the last "runners" to finish, but we finished ahead of all of the walkers. That motivated him; he kept saying, "Come on. I'm not going to let those walkers with their dogs beat us!" lol He earned his finishers tee-shirt. He wore it proudly yesterday.

Another cute thing about my kids -- we were watching the opening ceremonies, and Jayson loved the segment with Mr. Bean. The next day, he said, "Remember when Mr. Bean got in that car and then drove ahead of the runners and won the triathlon?" lol I love it that Jayson thinks whenever he sees anyone swimming, biking, or running they are doing a triathlon. Love my kids.

Hm. Your persistent and precocious children remind me of someone ...

:D The Bean segment was my favorite, too. :D

Jo, you are a hell of a strong woman with such drive - but for goodness sake, take those antibiotics - take them ALLLLL, worst thing you can do is stop part-way - and then you can get back to the hardazzz training you love - and ROCK - so much.  Please.

IRONWOMAN JANYNE, YOU ARE AWESOME!!!

those times were crazy - you ran a marathon in the same time as me, but I did NOTHING for 48 hours before recording that time. You rock.
