GO RACING MANATEES!

Wait, Salty, isn't that you too?

Thrilling day with my dad. I love being yelled at for two hours! Really exhausted ... in bed now.

cdban66 - 2012-10-19 1:12 PM Hey, heads up. Janyne was in a bike/car incident this week. Not bad, it looks like she is fine, but maybe stop in and drop her an inspire. Thanks all, you guys rock!

So SBUX opened in India today. It's been a crazy, crazy process and really amazing to watch unfold. One of the biggest challenges was setting aside our "Western Lense"  while looking at design, operations ... everything. 

A pretty iconic moment:

Thanks Chris and all those who posted.

I was side swiped by a pickup truck on Wednesday afternoon/evening.  I went down hard.  The bike is in the shop.  Fortunately, I am not.  I am very very very thankful that the bike and rider (me!) did not get tangled up in the trailer he was pulling. 

I think that the driver was just not paying attention.  We were both going straight.

Both the driver and a witness stopped.  Police report was filed.  I went to my regular doctor on Thursday morning.  I have road rash and bruises on the right side of my back, my right butt cheek, both elbows, my right hand, and my upper lip.  I am quite attractive now.  No, I do not know how I landed on my butt and got road rash on my upper lip.  I also have cuts on the back of my left calf where it looks like my leg and some interaction with the crank.

The bike is getting new front brakes (bent to the point that replacement is needed) and possibly a new fork and touch up paint.

Artemis - 2012-10-19 7:19 PMSurgery went well today.  Got a nerve block in right arm.  Insanely weird!!!  Should be able to move arm tomorrow.  No idea on pain because of nerve block.  Hope it's not too bad.

bcraht - 2012-10-19 2:52 PM I went swimming this AM, and on the board was 5x50's full out.  It was during this set that I finally understood the feeling of hip rotation drives the stroke.  I'm not sure I can re-create this while swimming at a normal pace right now, but I get it now, so that is a start.

Asalzwed - 2012-10-19 8:44 PM Before I go out (night before beer ya know ) I'm going to write out my race plan here. It might not MEAN much to you all but at least maybe I'll feel a little accountable? you can whip me if I screw it up.Start out easy. Focus on good form through the first 5k. Take a gel and settle into a comfortable pace. Take water at all stops as there are only a few of them. Work the "hill" but don't waste energy. Be efficient on the gravel portion and the turnaround. Reevaluate/take a gel and set up for a strong finish. Get outside of self and finish unreasonably fast, accelerating through last 100. That pain IS temporary.
