Master 6834  Englewood, Florida | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) TJ, I set mine up at 2750, with a +/- of 275. That way, I can see that I am on target most days and if I go over that, it shows up in the red. I don't recall seeing the Pink color on there. There is the break down graph as well, proteins, carbs and fats, but I see no pink color on it either. Did you find the "Activity Level" field? I found I really had to play with it to get familiar with it and feel it is useful. And I only track when I "Need" to, which is now, for example. |

When I saw the Vermont race listed, I realized I had no idea where you lived, so I stalked. Simsbury? I used to live in Kent! I love your neck of the woods, and there are few things that can compare to NE in the fall. Gorgeous! I got a kick out of your mom making you write down three positive things. Lol! "You will be happy, damn it!" FWIW, you don't strike me as cranky in the least bit. Ever. AH Kent - the home of the COVERED BRIDGE! (that's really all I know about it). Lots of hills out there!! Fall is my favorite time of year. In fact I think I'll make that today's gratitude................ If I don't seem cranky then my plan to make my online persona a happy camper has worked and fooled you all!! **evillaugh** Edited by mtnbikerchk 2013-10-04 10:46 AM |

As much as I like the racers and dislike the DL list, I have come to the realization that the little note is my favorite part of this list. Jen, my thoughts are with you, best of luck to you! |

| Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) I am getting very pumped for my race. Masters has me in a good swimming place mentally, and I biked to Gretna then rode the GTN course Sunday (read:hilly similar to Half Full race course) which has me in a good mental biking place and I’m OK with the run, too. The weather has me excited (hey, it won't be 40 degrees and raining) and getting to have other friends around racing and spectating is getting me amped up, too. My crazy friend Mo has a possibly partially torn ligament in her shoulder (not labral tear as they first thought) and is determined to race. Personally I really don’t see the sense in risking further damage and pain, but whatever, it’s her arm! |

Half Full is the name of the race - Rev3 Half Full. Rev3 donates their people, equipment and services (totally free) to help put on the race to raise money for Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults. Half Full refers to 'glass half full' or optimism [of beating cancer]. The 70 miles of the half distance race, also taking place the same day/time, represents the 70,000 young adults diagnosed with cancer each year. The race features survivors racing as well as cheering racers on as they start and finish the race. Very powerful, moving, inspiring race. I'm racing as part of Team Fight which raises money for the UCF via fundraising and we race with their kits, etc. Edited by melbo55 2013-10-04 2:57 PM |

| Master 10208 Northern IL | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Originally posted by switch I'm kind of in the same boat as Ben. I want to get faster. I went out on a limb in COJ a few weeks ago and laid out some pretty specific goals, but in thinking about goal setting more, I'm not sure that's how I should be framing things in my mind. What I said it COJ is that I would like to qualify for Worlds in both the Oly and 70.3 distances (I have specific goal times for these in my head, though others have cautioned me against this. I can't help it.) and qualify for Boston. Any one of those things would be a significant "reach" for me, but all three would be a coup. I am turning 40 next year, mid life crisis, party of one... In thinking about these goals more, I am thinking I should reframe them a bit, as I could have good tri races for me, but still not qualify, depending on who shows up. It would be silly to be bent out of shape about that. So, I'm going to try to get faster, and hopefully that will result in me placing well in my races--aging up won't hurt either To do this I need to do a few things:
Something I meant to ask earlier since you seem to really be into various "World's" events, are you looking at things outside of those two? There is Nats for Long Course (70.3, really) which then goes ITU Worlds Long Course, not to be confused with WTC's World Championship. Plus others like a few duathlon distances. Sprint, Standard, Long. Long seems a bit odd as it's often similar to an oly here (10k/40k/5k), but World's is like 10k/150k/30k. |

I'm still kinda hungry ;P Swimming make me want to eat my arm. |
