Master  7712     Orlando |  Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2014 v.2 thread2 CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?)Originally posted by Richardsdrr Originally posted by laffinrock But seriously, it's becoming ridiculous. Originally posted by Richardsdrr It's feeling like a police state where I live at the moment. With the NATO summit happening 16 miles from my home this weekend, I appears that almost every police officer in the uk has been stationed on every junction on a 30 mile radius from the summit. I know the feeling. I worked in downtown Denver when the Democratic National Convention was here in 2008. We had snipers on our building's roof and there were armed vehicles with police in SWAT gear driving all over the place. It makes me very grateful that I don't live somewhere where that kind of police/military presence is commonplace. hahaha. that's great! |

Master 7712 Orlando | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2014 v.2 thread2 CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) Originally posted by 4agoodlife I tried to catch up a bit... Stacey- love the beach pic. I'm sure you'll be taking lots of walks along that view. Ben- you're doing some serious tri recruiting Ann-Marie - this might help with Tom's idea Melanie- nice that your wetsuit issue worked out so well! Jonathan- that's horrible about the bikers. I can't imagine that she won't have survivor's guilt, but I hope she'll eventually be able to use it in a positive way.
I already have one of those |
Glad you all had a good time.

Master 3870  | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2014 v.2 thread2 CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) Originally posted by laffinrock Isn't that part a given ? Originally posted by 4agoodlife Mountain bike relay race this weekend. I've never done either kind, so any advice from those who have? I'm taking the second and last legs, and I'm hoping the riders have thinned out a bit by then. Based on previous finish times, I think I'll have 2+ hours waiting for my partner. After wandering around and cheering, staying hydrated, fueled, warm and stretched, anything else I "should" do while I bide my time? Looks like you've about got it covered, except you left out "have fun."  |

Master 4452 | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2014 v.2 thread2 CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) Ben that sounds like a great family/friend event! Stacey, you have some beautiful scenery! Melanie, that is awesome about the wetsuit! Under $50 beats a few hundred any day. School is in for me--I have already identified the know it all of the group. On day 1. Not good |
Had a hard time getting myself out for my run today--I ended up with just 3km, but better than nothing! Early morning strength session for me tomorrow. My butt still hurts from Monday... Happy hump day everyone!| 2014-09-03 11:40 PM in reply to: amd723 |

One of the tricks that I am in the process of learning is visualization and it really does have value. See yourself riding lightly, quickly, and efficiently. See yourself riding aggressively where possible, carefully where necessary, and efficiently. Close your eyes and relax, all the while setting yourself up for a successful and fun ride. |

Ooh, how exciting, Erin! Chris speaks the truth. I agree visualization has a lot of value. I often partner it with meditation and meditative breathing pre-event. I use it before TKD and hockey and, of course, tris. It tends to be calming mentally, emotionally, and physically and pulls in focus. Have fun out there and keep the rubber side down! |

Wonder if they make bike racks for motorcycles? :D Hey now, I'm in CO so you can still come up this way! I'm on the Front Range, not the Western Slope, though, so that makes the trip a little farther unless I meet you in the middle. Or I could maybe come to a TX/NM/AZ meet-up. I'm also planning to do that Zion HM in March if you want to join me... And they do make bike racks for motorcycles. Funny you should mention that; TJ and I were just talking about it this past weekend. Goggle "motorcycle bicycle carrier" and you'll get lots of results. Here's an example:
