Oriolepwr and QuincyF's Magical Mys-tri Tour "The Sequel" -On Tour!! (Page 47)

Sheeelllllllyyyyyyyyy!  

Got any more recipes?   I still need to try the last one, but would very much like more of em.    And stuff I can make FAST  ha   I pretty much have to be able to make stuff in like 10 min or less.   Pretty much limits me to  microwave.  not saying that's a good thing.    I have a double oven.  I really needed a double microwave.     So anything you have that fits that scenario would be a help. 

Mike,

Great idea on the calendar.  For those of us that are tech- handicapped:  when you say you have these on your phone.  What/How and how exactly?

Todd

Jackie,

Good going on the marathon  regardless on no PR.  It appears you changed your name and sex and thats gotta count for something.  Must have been the endorphins.

PS, Hills suck

Todd

OK I'm back as myself!  Sorry about that...DH was logged in this morning and I didn't realize it.  He tells me he posts as me in his group all the time.  Funny!

Anyway...race report is up.  Link to it here:  http://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=465391    (I think...)

I'm disappointed I didn't achieve a PR or my goals...but I feel great about another marathon accomplishment.  How couldn't I?!?!  I'm glad to take a few days off and recover.  My legs are toast!  Once I get myself thinking straight again, I need to figure out what's on the docket for me in 2013!

Mike...GREAT Job on the PR!!  I like that race a lot!  I did the full course last year and that's the course I set my full PR.  So listen up folks, evidently there are PRs to be had at the Rock 'N Roll St. Louis!

Thanks again for the well wishes!  More this week on my AWESOME football playing 8 year old daughter who had a few tackles tonight and caused a fumble!  But my poor baby came home tired and sore.  That I did NOT like!

Jax!!

Congrats on your marathon!! When most people finish a marathon they go home, take a nap, and rest up for the weekend. Not you!! Way to go supermom!!

I hate to even mention the fact that you did't get your PR, because you did such a great job. But, I know that's probably weighing on you a bit!! You'll do it!! You're determined enough and some day, when the race is right, it will happen!

I read your race report and, even though it was not the race you'd hoped for, I can say from my limited experience that the ones that took the most mental energy and mental endurance are the ones that I most learned from, as well as the ones that I am most proud of, in hindsight. Get some rest please!! You're making me tired and I missed the last three days of training!!!

I left a comment for Jax in her race report but I'll just check in with you here! Great job! Wow a 5 minute PR, that's crazy! On top of the stress too. Nicely done! And who ate all that food you grilled? What a feast! Remind me to say yes if I ever get invited over to dinner at your place!

Nice work, Mike!!! Way to push through the pain...and a five minute PR for a half is crazy good!! I agree with Q! I am showing up (uninvited) to your next grill out!!

+1

Mike!  You PR'd BOTH the race, and the Grill!!!   looked YUMMO!    Going through same sort of work scenario.    Running helps doesn't it?  :-)      Also does not take the same amount of time as Bike/Swim

As promised, a couple more questions:

1. For transition, will my bags that I checked for the bike and run (two different transition areas) be at my bike and transition spot when I get there, or do I have to pick them up from some other area on my way in from the swim/bike, then go to my transition spot with them?

2. Do I put my wesuit back inside the bag with my goggles and cap?

3. As far as the fluids on the bike, do I put those on and leave them overnight the day before, or do I bring those in the morning of the race?

Thanks, y'all!! We're on the road to Austin tomorrow, and I've got some busy days ahead with in-laws, etc. Hopefully I'll be able to check in regularly so you can all share in my neuroticism leading up to race day!!

Thanks, Dave!! I'm sure once I get there they will explain everything, but it helps to have somewhat of an idea going in!

Thanks for the well wishes, Pam. My last name is Adlakha if you want to track me. I'm not sure what my race number is, but I'll post it if I have a chance. I think you can probably use my last name, though.

Tom, way to go - putting the HM in the calendar.  I think we like crazy here.

Sarah, good luck on the HIM, can't wait to read the report.  I'm glad there are still group members racing.  It helps keep me from slacking since I'm done for the year.

Thanks for all your help, peeps!!

Good luck Sarah!!!!!!!!!!!   I will track you during the race and can't wait to hear how it goes!  I am not worthy!!!
