I know a bunch of you guys like sufferfest - altred just emailed me a 30 day code to help with the self quarantine! ALTREDSUF30 Hope everyone is healthy. Oh and the IRS did extend the deadline to pay. No real details but I'm assuming you can just file an extension and then file the whole return by July with no interest or penalties. |

Especially this part: Updates will be posted for affected races on Facebook.com/IRONMANtri and here on this page. More updates forthcoming. I'm with you on the calling it sooner rather than later though. They have not called Florida 70.3 or St. George or Chattanooga 70.3 or CT 70.3. That brings us to May 31. |

| 297 | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED Originally posted by lisac957 Swim questions:
The last day of my pool being open was Sunday, so I went and got in a final swim. I think the pool itself is fine. I think the locker room I'd avoid if possible. Wear your suit under clothes and keep everything poolside. Getting out and back to home/office may be trickier if you have to get out of the suit without the locker room, but if that's doable or you can wear the suit home under other clothes, I'd still go. The interesting thing is that ours here is a community pool complex with diving boards, huge waterslide for kids, kids pool, etc., plus the 3 lap lanes. I figured with it being the last day open that it would be packed, easily 150+ people. There were only about 20 people there. So if you can get there, maybe everyone else will be thinking what you're thinking and not go, and you might be alone. |

I'll throw this out the single seat twin engine stealth fighter is the F-117 Nighthawk. If it were mine I would call it the Nighthawk. I am also having a debate on if that sounds like something Will Farrell would have said in Step Brothers. |

Expert 1694 Illinois | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED Originally posted by melbo55 As of yesterday PA joined the shutdown club. All non-essential businesses are closed of course including rec centers, entertainment venues, restaurants only open for take out/delivery, etc. etc. but also hair salons and barbershops. Coincidentally, I have a haircut scheduled this week. I guess I will just be a shaggy dog until the ban is lifted. I'm picturing me looking like Rip Van Winkle, sans beard. LOL! I have doubts that I'll be able to get it cut any time soon. Thanks for the swim cord links, Janyne. They will be helpful. Yikes, I rescheduled a hair appointment (was supposed to be on Tuesday the 17th). Maybe I should have kept the appointment. I'm sure hair salons will be shutting down. |

CLOSED Originally posted by ceilidh Originally posted by BlueBoy26 it is hard for those in cities and apartments to do this kind of prep..We have some: our pantry and freezer is full and my canning over the summer helps a lot Originally posted by Hot Runner Hate to say it, but...we stocked up about 3-4 weeks ago. I have been taught my whole life to keep a food storage. The pantry, freezer, and canning is more than what most have you won't freak out in 3-8 days like some people will.

She needs a name, but for now, meet Miss Argon. She's a matte black and so pretty. So mysterious. So stealth. Cheers to a bright spot in this weird, crazy time we're in. I have never been good at naming my bike. I know that naming your sword and naming your horse was a big thing in the days of knights and crusades but if my sword didn't come with a name and a legacy then Christening it wouldn't mean anything. I do look at my race bike as a teammate though. I give it my best, but if the bike isn't at the top of the game it will make me look bad and if it is at the top of the game it will make me look better than I really am. So, I have a relationship with the bike. When it is dialed in we move together and work in tandem. We communicate without words though so no spoken names are required for us to understand each other. What type of bike names do you like? People names, non-sence names, warrior names, hero names, descriptive names, other? I tend to look towards warrior names. Rowen, Zina, Athena, type names. Is your bike looking for a masculine name, a feminine name, or a gender-neutral name? |

Or what about something Iron man related like Tony Stark, Pepper Potts? I am not the hugest Avengers fan ... so go with my limited lingo here ... |

| 52 Laramie, Wyoming | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED I thought I would check in with y'all! I just got myself caught up with the posts I've missed. I've been MIA, as my wife and I had a vacation planned for this week, but thanks to the pandemic, we had to cut it short and drive back home. Whereas most of Wyoming schools are closed for at least a couple of weeks, my district (and employer) school board and superintendent are wringing their hands, trying to find a reason to REMAIN OPEN. This week (3/16-3/20) is spring break and my director has stated that all key cards have been deactivated until further notice. If we do close the doors here, I will probably be working remotely from home. Honestly, working from home is very do-able for me. Since teachers and students wouldn't be in the buildings, my work load will probably be light; a good opportunity for some professional development videos. Good news is that the six days I was away from home, I only gained 1 lbs! I was really expecting to gain a lot, as we were on the road for 4.5 days, including a stay in Vegas for two nights. As for the training front, the city rec center is closed, so I will not be doing any swimming in the near future. Luckily I do have the bike and trainer set up in my home office, so I will be trying to make up with more saddle time. |

Congratulations, I hope you and Miss Argon have many miles and smiles together. As for a name, each bike is different and should be treated as such. Also, the name needs to be fitting, so take some time. I have named all but one of my bikes, and the one I haven't named is my tri bike. I have spent quite a bit of time on it, but it never really struck me with a name, so it is still without a moniker. |

Expert 2811 | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED I started using heat to heat my bruised ribs, because I am going crazy not being able to run, and the internet said to do it ( actually I usually turn to Cleveland Clinic for on line medical advice). I was wondering if anyone has ever used heat on a bone bruise and if it helped speed healing. It makes sense to my non-medical brain because of the increase in blood flow to the area and thus speeds healing. Right now I can do leg exercises that don't engage my core and ride my bike. I can't get into the aero position and if I start rocking, well that just hurt. Anything with speed really hurts right now, so I'm doing The Sufferfest climbing and endurance videos. No racing or sprinting videos. |
