Yanti & Salty MAD MANATEES Mentor Group - FULL POD (Page 45)

100 mile weekend  + wind factor = 10,000 calorie weekend

or thereabouts.

Way to kick azz!

Just found out my final position now that the provisional results are available.

I came 423rd out of 444.

In my age group i came 45th out of 45.

My original goal was to finish a triathlon. period. My hope was that i would not come last.

As i have moved along my journey, i have come to enjoy what i have chosen to do, even though i know that i am not naturally built for it. I have also raised my expectations due to my competitive gremlin sneaking out of it's box, and so whilst i am pleased that i completed my challenge, i was a bit disapointed to see my overall position and to find that i was last in class.

I know that i have only been at this for 31/2 months and that i have already come a long way, but i am about to kick it up a level. I want you all to get behind me and push/encourage and generally nudge me further along this path that i have chosen. I don't have long before my next race and i am aiming to be further up the results page when i bring you my next race report.

Rant over and things now off my chest.

So how are your Mondays going? It's still raining here (about 10 days in a row), went out to celebrate the wifes birthday and it tipped it down.

Whats DFL?

Dead Froggin' Last

That's a lot of beer and poptarts!  That's amazing, Reece, great work!

Oh thanks Yanti, I'm still hungry too, my body's still nagging me about the deficit.  Should be caught up by tonight.  No Pop Tarts in the house though, they don't last long with 12 and 15 years olds around.  Have you seen the new Pop Tart mini-crisps product?

Ah-ha! We can just start referring to our efforts in beer and poptarts. I like. 

You just HAD to bring that up, didn't you?

Do. Not. Mention. CRACK. to. a. cocaine. addict. 'Kay?

I still miss my Oreo mini-crisps ... I can actually take or leave that white goo in the middle of regular Oreos.

Right now my tummy is both growling from hunger AND in revolt to whatever I put in it, even plain soppy white rice. Sigh.

That's awesome that you found the beer Artemis!  Means I should be able to find it up in DC next month...

Today for me was working cruise ship for some extra dough, feel good had a little residual soreness yesterday but ready to jump into my sprint tri training plan tomorrow, with longer rides for May.  I just have to remember to take it easy on the running since I haven't done much/any since the half mary in January

Don't worry Allen I think you have a few agitators in the mix here that will keep pushing you

Now to hit the couch, 2 4 am wake ups in a weekend can tire you out

Well then, I suppose it's time I admit my weakness. Cereal. Any type. I can hardly ever hold myself to just one bowl. I do the, "Oh I didn't put enough milk in. Oh oops, too much milk, now I need more cereal" thing over and over and have gone through an entire box more than once. If I am out of milk, I have put water in my cereal. 

Running has fueled the fire of this addiction, too. 

Thank goodness I have found fiber one. It *naturally limits me to one bowl, tastes pretty good and has great carb/protein/fiber ratios. 

Ahhhhh ahahahhahaha! Thank you for that! Terrifying, really! 

I'm thinking alligators was a better word choice than agitators

Thanks to your post, I decided to try a bowl of cereal -- AND I HELD IT DOWN!!!

I am so excited.

Sadly, cereal is almost as expensive as Pop Tarts here. Many of the boxes are even only 100g ... that'd be practically a single serve box in the U.S.!

I would die. Or be really broke. Most likely be really broke and then die. 

I knew this was the right mentor group for me.  

Don't think I wasn't thinking in both money and Pop Tart equivalents how much this would cost me if I puked.
