Mental Manatee Mentors Part 3--CLOSED (Page 5)

Good luck to all Racing Manatee's tomorrow.  

I can't wait to meet Salty and run with her for the 1st 100 yards!  

Hope the little one feels better... 

Signed the cancer petition... 

Heal soon injured Pod Mates.  

Kirsten - Jealous of your wheels

Jayne, - Nice Ride.  

I think I'm up to date now.. going to sleep... big race tomorrow.  

Me with my tri bike when it was new (Dec 2010)

Yeah ... it turned out there's a leetle bit more wrong than just the cracked rib. The scaphoid bone in the wrist seems to be in an odd position and and while that could be causing the wrist and finger pain, numbness, and weakness, it also looks like the upper rib and collarbone got ... well, whacked, which they did (just via the other side), which could explain the arm pain and swelling. Awesome!

Just being lazy today.  I've worked a total of 8 high school soccer matches this week and my legs are feeling abused.  Nothing serious or injurious, just very fatigued.    Was going to run a local 15k but didn't wake up in time to get there.  No matter as there is a 10 miler coming up in a few weeks.   There are also beaucoup 5k's and such as our local race season has begun in earnest.

Thanks for the birthday wishes.   I am a Lost Boy so don't much count them anymore.   Years that is. 

Hot Hot Hot Racing Manatees!!!

Nice 50 mile bike this morning. Think I'm finally getting through this injury. Lots of important lessons learned!!

Good luck racing manatees!!!!

I am finally back to my "normal" work days. Hopefully getting back to training this week also. Here are some cuteness (Pikatti the Puppy) update/pictures.

At the Ski hill at Dad's work.	Cuddling with my brother while the Dad's play poker.	Daddy said something about taking me for a run. If i take his shoes can he run?	Daddy wakes up way too early. Taking my first nap at 5:30am, he has been up for an hour already.

He is getting me trained and responsive to when he needs to go outside to go potty. We still have some accidents, but for only 1 week with me he is doing good. We have our first vet appointment in 2 weeks to make sure he has all of his shots and everything for traveling through Canada. We are also dealing with possibly having to move, the landlord says no pets, so we may be moving with 10 weeks left in Alaska.

I am counting down the days until I get to head towards the lower 48 and my kiddos. I am hoping to have travel plans cemented down this week to let people know who want to meet-up and get a work-out in.

I hope everyone is doing good. I hope to be able to get in here more now that work is a little lighter.

GOOD LUCK to everyone racing this weekend!

OK, I started building my Manatee Bike Gallery. If you got more bike pics, post them here and I'll grab a copy.

here is my trusty steed.  please note the remote control in the bento box; a very necessary accessory for trainer rides.

So much to comment on...

Can't wait to read some race reports!

TXJonathon, looking good

Yanti, oh dear Yanti... what ARE we going to do with you

As for me, I am breaking my streak today. It was a tough call but I heard Salty's logic in my decision. My last few workouts, of all three disciplines, have been lack luster, no energy, no motivation, tough to get through. Yesterday and today my leg muscles were sort of burning I guess. Not really a lactic acid type soreness but more of a burn. I decidesd the body is tired and pushing through two more weeks until my taper was not a good idea, so I made a consious decision to give the legs/body the day off. I had a run scheduled but i'm not concerned about missing that. I knew Salty would shake her head at doing the training just for the sake of keeping the streak, so I broke it. Feels weird not doing a session today.
