Oriolepwr and QuincyF's Magical Mys-tri Tour "The Sequel" -On Tour!! (Page 40)

Pink Socks - 2012-09-18 3:18 PM

I’ve read thru all of the tour posts.  Whoa, you are all studs!!!!  I’m so impressed!  You are all amazing people.

Shelly, I wish I had known you before that Atlanta tri!  My in-laws are near that area and I would have alerted you as to the hills.  You may already know about this but www.runningahead.com has a good elevation chart.  (Others use mapmyride but my mind grasps the RA map easier.)  Sometimes I cross reference with google maps too.  My first HM, I saw part of the course and immediately knew the elevation chart posted was wrong.  So afterwards, I used RA.  Now I map out my future courses, id the types of elevation, and then try to simulate them in training.

Mike brought up that wife is thinking of IMFL for them in 2013.  If so, or if anyone else is considering IMFL, let us know.  DH will be volunteering there this year; he says that he won’t be using the volunteer spot to gain entry into 2013 but I know him better than he knows himself.

 I added my future races, added you all as friends, and updated my training log for this month.  First, I’m sorry that I didn’t lists the times for many; I usually just record the miles.  Also, it’s not very impressive because I was sick with nada training for several weeks and had to start back SLOW.  Now I’ve got some back issues so I’m making myself rest for 2 to 3 days in an attempt to avoid the doctor’s office for the 5^th time in a month. (5 flippin’ times?!?!  Sorry Sarah, I know you and DH are doctors but I hate going to the doctor.)

Also, I unintentionally tried Dave’s approach to swimming the other day.  I was practicing and my son jumped in and bumped up against me.  When I told him that it could help me learn contact, he took it as a personal challenge.  Before it was all over, I was fighting for my life a couple of times.  He does have 6 inches on me and a few pounds and he fights dirty.  As a mom, I didn’t want to hurt my baby but soon I was trying to give as good as I was getting.

OK, just to keep everyone apprised without stealing thunder I will share that TJ's spawn has arrived safely, healthy and beautiful. I will leave the details to TJ...gender, name, weight (ahem).

Happy baby day! Can't wait to hear more about it!

We knew that after two boys, chances were that this one would have "tackle." Turns out the surprise was more in the size department this time. He's a whopper! Both mom and baby are doing great and we hope to come home this evening. Feeling so blessed!Thanks for all the BT love. You all are great!

@Yvonne, ew that would be scary to see pinksock spam.  I won't spam you tho - promise.  I have opened the wine last night - and then I finished it since no one showed up.  I'll open up a new one now.  Get the feeling it's gonna be gone quick tho.  My back issues aren't going away; meds don't seem to be helpiing so the wine is the preferable alternative.

@TJ, glad the time has come.  Can't wait to hear about it and see pix.  Hope it's a wonderful delivery.

Sarah73 - 2012-09-19 2:42 PM

Pink - I can't believe you spent the time to read all those posts!! I haven't even read them, and I've here since (almost) the beginning!! Anything I missed????

I had to share a pic today...while running I came across a 7 foot gator, so I had to stop and get a pic!! Last week I saw a fox...I always feel like I'm on some sort of Discovery adventure when I do my workouts!!

I know, the part where they whack him and then blow the horn kills me every time. One of the IMOO race reports from this year, the guy got clobbered in the jaw a couple of minutes before the race start so it could happen!

Pink Socks - 2012-09-21 5:41 PM

Too funny!  Hey, what is IMOO? Iron Man Ontario or Ohio or am I missing something?  See I'm a newbie.

Uh oh, knew I would mess up.  If anyone ever sees a post from KWDreamun, it's probably from me, Pink Socks.  DH and I share the same computer at home so sometimes I forget to logout before responding and vice versa.  Sorry, I know it was confusing seeing a post from a random stranger.

Sorry pinkypie, 

IMOO is slang for IMWI (Ironman Wisconsin). 'Cause of all the cows. You know. Wisconsin. Everyone moos around the first buoy...except me, I thought it was weird. A couple of spots on the ride you get REAL cowbell shaken at you by the farmers who live in the house you are passing. Kind of cool.

P.S. Keep asking questions...for every person who actually asks, there are 10 who are sitting by silently wondering what the hell is going on, so you're doing everyone a service!

Oh dear are we already 2013ing it? No IM for us next year...I think every other year is enough. Let me think it through and add on...are we doing both races in Memphis? Why am I even asking this?     

I agree with you.  IM every other year.   Too tough to do every year.     Absolutely both races in Memphis that's a huge part of what makes this a great event.   :-)

I think we will also do Batavia and maybe go back to our Y-tri in July schedule permitting. Yes on Bigfoot and Door County. Also thinking about the Dells HIM in August. That won't work for the Levs/Carnies.

Perhaps will do Batavia with you!       Bigfoot is now a tradition.    Door county will be fun.    Would be great if Mike could make it up as well.       IF IMKY is a no go, which I will know early 2013  will do the Dells!

I am also thinking some serious 5k training and racing early on before tri season starts. I need to keep my speed up.

Pink, what the heck with your back? Do you have a backnobber? It won't respond to Ibuprofen? I hate the idea of missing a race, so sorry that is happening to you!
