Sorry my US geography really sucks so I dont know if any of you are in areas that are heavily affected. Thank you for thinking of us. There continues to be a lot of flooding in my state but not in my immediate area. Most of the flooding is 50-75 miles from my house. It's all very sad. Many of the hardest hit areas were also very poor to start with. The Tar, Lumber, Neuse and Cape Fear are all at or near record flood levels. I'm inserting a map. I live in Raleigh (upper left).

Yes, thanks Stacey. Orlando was very lucky, the storm pulled a bit east (further off the coast), so we mainly got tropical storm type wind. People on the coast -about 50 miles away, were much more heavily impacted with entire homes being destroyed and roads washing away. It appears that even though the hurricane was less severe in category as it impacted North Carolina, the flooding it produced with all those rivers impacted is worse than what happened along Florida's coast. Of course, if I were one of the people whose home was now missing it's entire roof, I may not agree with that statement |

It's a huge milestone for us: https://news.starbucks.com/news/starbucks-opens-1000th-leed-certified-store Tying back into the discussion with the flooding and natural disaster, it's something our team has been thinking a lot about as we shift the idea of sustainability to resiliency. How can we leverage our sustainable features to serve the community it time of need or crisis? What if we generated on site renewable energy and when there is no power elsewhere, we could help provide the people a place to congregate. What if they could use our filtration system to have access to safe drinking water? It's an exciting notion....

It was a great event, I hope to have my report up either tonight or tomorrow. This was an incredible experience. In the brief chances I could talk to my wife during the race she would give me moments of inspiration by telling about the number of people liking or commenting on her 100 or so posts. I can't tell you how much that helped. I still have a lot to digest. Also, I can't express how much it helps to be a part of this group and how motivating you all are. Thank you for everything you have given me over the past year. I do appreciate it. You are a great group with a inspirational mentor. Congratulations, IronMan. How wonderful to have the inspiration during the race. Great sherpa applause to your wife. Savor, you so richly deserve it. |

Wow, that is incredible. I was happy to see that Sbux partnered with RWB for the Old Glory Relay. Yeah, that engagement with the military and veterans has been a huge focus for us. http://www.starbucks.com/careers/veterans We actually have an active duty engineer on a temporary assignment on our team. It's really cool to cross pollinate and leverage our unique "business" types. When we talk a lot about what is the role and responsibility of a for-profit, public company. We CAN use our scale for good. |

We don't get hurricanes in Australia, but we get cyclones (I'm not sure what the difference is) mainly in the north of the country. They can be so damaging that it takes years for farmers and communities to recover. It seems that often they are just about back on their feet and another one hits them. I hope that power and water get restored quickly and that Americans are as generous in their support of those affected as Australians are when it happens here. |

Hurricanes and cyclones are the same thing. It just depends upon what part of the world you live as to what you call the storm. As far as being generous, Americans are the most generous people in the world according to this recent study |

I was so happy that she picked up my transition bags and bike while I was out on the run. She said there were so many athletes picking up their stuff when she was there saying they wished they had someone like her. The transition area is about half a mile from the hotels and you have to carry your bike up about two stories of steps. Fortunately, I can only imagine how horrible that was.

Master 8249 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Manatee à trois I can imagine (well, halfway). I was sherpa-less at Worlds, and had to lug my bike and all my crap back a mile up and over a hill (the same hill one did four times on the course) to the hotel, and then up to the second floor. Honestly, hauling all that stuff (I had too much to just get on the bike and ride it, and anyway, it was easier to walk up the hill) felt worse than the last mile of the race. Plus about halfway back, all my post-race hydration came through and I really, really had to pee! But there is no way to safely do that solo on a busy sidewalk with a few thousand dollars worth of triathlon crap in one's possession. I really could have used a sherpa. Plus probably a driver, massage therapist, and psychiatrist! |

Expert 2811 | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Manatee à trois I think if you ask a normal person, we could all use a psychiatrist. The post race gathering up of yourself is bad enough. You should have gotten a second medal for being your own sherpa. I can only imagine how much you hated that hill by then. |

The first year I did Tremblant after I finished I said "I have to go get my stuff" and DH and my cousin looked at me and said "we already did it." Like it never even occurred to me to have them do it! LOL I just figured I gave them the card in case of emergency :D It was an awesome surprise. |

Master 8249 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Manatee à trois Haha! That hill--I did it a total of eight times that day. (Once over before the race, four times during the race, once back after, then (because there was nowhere to eat near my hotel) back over and then back again for dinner.) The "reps" after the race were much worse than during the race. All fatigue and zero adrenaline! I never want to see it again. When one rides an extra 10K in a world championship (or thinks one did), one definitely needs a psychiatrist. I would even have felt better if my Garmin at least had proof of what I did and how fast I was going, but it doesn't--it wasn't working and that was part of the problem! At the point I finished, was still afraid it was a DNF/DQ, and someone would ask me for the medal and other stuff back. Never found live results at the finish; internet connection at hotel was horrible and I couldn't get the IM site to load. Actually it was my coach who e-mailed me a few hours later that I had officially finished in 5:50. (I never even looked up at the finish clock.) I suppose it's not really that different than having a race you've been training for for months/years go south due to a mechanical on the bike, or cramping on the run, but somehow it is......I never sleep much anyway the night after a long race, but I must have awakened at least six times reliving the "OMG , I missed that turn somehow on the first lap!" moment.

Veteran 1900 Southampton, Ontario | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Manatee à trois New treadmill day has finally arrived! All set up and ready for winters toil. I am told it is much quieter than the old one so I might be able to run in the mornings if I can drag myself out of bed early enough. I have also reluctantly drug my bike down to the basement as Mr. Sun is setting super early and weekday rides appear to be over. Re trainer programs - I have used TrainerRoad for a while but am trying out Zwift as a free trial right now. Does anyone have opinions on which is better? Also - any others I should check into? |
