TAN 201: Yanti races Ironman JaTAN (Page 46)

But I don't go that way

We made it past "hump" day, so only three working days left this week.  Have a great Thirsty Thursday TAN!!!!

Horrilbe day!

My battery in my key fob died and now I have to open my car door using the key. It's so embrassing!!!

my car doesn't even have that but the car i'm looking at buying has completely keyless entry - never have to dig my keys out of my purse to unlock or start the car again!  WHEE!

I want that. It would be amazing. No more stuffing keys in my bra when I go for a run.

Aaah I used to say that too
Funny how things change when you meet a great person. 

i'm actually nervous about handling that for running and stuff.  the non-key is too big for the little keypocket in my shorts, but if you leave it in the car someone could just leave with my car.

I have a combination keypad on the outside of the driver's door, so I just lock the key in my car (usually the trunk).

i'm looking at a new nissan, and the door unlocks just if the key is near it using a prox switch....same with the ignition....as long as the key is in the car, you can start it.

I love reading resumes.  Mine is probably way overdue for an update...

Holy crap... I WISH I could run like this and "accidentally" win a marathon.  Impressive!

Hi, TAN.
So, they gave her a medal for finishing first woman in the marathon, even though she signed up and paid for the half?  Would that be a problem for the second place woman who paid for the full??  Just a question.  Congratulations on her super-speedy finish!!  I'm jealous.

According to the article she checked, while running, with the official who verified she was ok through the RD.  Furthermore, it goes on to state that she did pay the difference.  

If I were second place and they offered me the win on a technicality I'd laugh and tell them no thanks.  

I missed the part about paying the difference. Thanks.

At the bottom of an email I just got for an upcoming triathlon there is a "Fun Fact"

"Fun Fact: Did you know your foot and forearm are the same length?"

Yes, I am tempted to hold my foot up to my arm... anyone else?

I usually tie my key (leave the remote, which is separate, obviously, in the car so if someone breaks in, they still can't drive away - all they could do is lock it again remotely, which after breaking in seems unlikely... ahem) in my jammers before putting on my wetsuit for pond swims.

Works well, but I get lots of looks when after the swim I peel my suit down, reach down yonder and start futzing around (to get the key).

MANY looks of relief when I pull out a key and let the suit snap back up as I walk to the truck...

Matt

i actually DID know that fact and have checked it.  you have to be kind of loose on defining where your forearm begins and ends, but it's certainly true!

silly canadians

Haha, I've gotten a few of those looks from neighbors as I go fishing for the house key from the small pocket in my run shorts when I come back from a run

The keypad thing is nice on the car because I don't have to carry anything with me at all.  My girlfriend has a Kia with same type of key thing as the Nissan and it won't let her lock the car if she leaves the key in the car, so you have to take the key with you.  One of the things that always bugged me at a race was having to find a place to keep my car key while racing... now, I can leave the key locked safely in the car.

You said that much nicer than I was going to.

Am I the only one to notice she made the mistake because she was zoned out listening to music (BAN HEADPHONES!) and the biker should have been considered outside assistance? Um, DQ.

Just kidding. That's pretty awesome.

I knew that as well.  I don't think it's spot on, but close.
