Yanti & Salty Mad Manatees PART 3: FULL POD (Page 52)

Oh I wouldn't DREAM of putting it out in "main BT"!  Sometimes it feels like ST "out there".  Besides, I've got the bestest swim expert right here!

Chris, I am so sorry for your daughter.  That is a tough one to get through.  I'm glad to hear she is moving on, even if slowly and painfully.

She. And guaranteed she didn't read my post closely, and misinterpreted BOTH what I posted and exactly how Bernoulli's principle does (and doesn't, which I clarified) apply.

But what the hell do I know, it's basic math

ok, sorry to interject, but anyone who can do 1:50 100's a few days after a mary and NOT HAVING BEEN IN A POOL IN MONTHS, does not have a laughable stroke.  Unless you were wearing fins.  But not even then.

No shyte, right?!?! That's what I said to her in an inspire ... a bit more directly.

heh heh heh

Well, speaking of eye rolling, did you see that persons post in the thread you created to fatten my head? He said I should use a Garmin so that I can avoid walking the end of my marathon. Huh? 

I think he missed the point.

What does everyone have on their plate this weekend?

Tonight I'm going a local park where they are rebroadcasting TdF stage 17 and projecting it on a huge inflatable screen. Plus is has a beer garden. Now I'm just trying to find someone to go with me. All my friends say something along the lines of, "Bike racing ewwwwww"

Tomorrow I am going to the Cap hill block party, which is a music festival and then doing some other stuff around home. I was supposed to go camping with the fam but I just need some time to move at my own pace for a few days. 

This weekend will be another trip to Orlando. Both of my daughters live there. The youngest was planning a wedding, but that has fallen apart. But it seems to have opened a few other doors that she wouldn't have knocked on in the past, so silver lining and all. And she is figuring out how strong she really is.

Sorry to hear, Chris, but I suspect if she is anything like her dad, she will be 'painting a masterpiece' before long.  Glad you are able to go and support her through.

Yeah, agarose ... it's okay, he's the font of both unsolicited and unuseful advice.

There are quite a few people, and quite a few posts, and I know you feel the same way because you don't post in Tri Talk much, where I want to ask ... "You have reading comprehension problems, don't you? I'm sorry about that."

WARNING

I have recently had my medications adjusted so if I seem meaner or snarkier than usual, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Or it's just my true self coming out. Whichever.

Heh someone get IronCowgirl over there.  She'll outmath all of them.

Or better yet, convince H2OKiller to make (another) new account

Where's the option for who gives a !@#$?  snerk

x2 hehe

YET another new account (I think he was up to 7 or 8 by the time he FINALLY got booted ... just could not change his posting style) ... I think I'm the only person here who actually liked the guy. Or at least his advice, which most of the time was razor-sharp spot-on.

It's okay. Clearly Ernest Maglischo, as well as all the theoretical hydrodynamics guys at Harvard and Princeton, don't understand basic math either.

Oh no!  Not a fun time at all. 

I'm sorry to hear that.

Hey. I found a way to pay half-price for MORE meds. (Bulk discount, anyone? Ha ha ha) ... so I give a shyte.

Damn, I'm glad the mentor groups aren't modded.

Don't think some of them aren't closely observed ... they are ... but they are not modded and that is exactly as it should be.

You only get banned for posting something if you forget to put *snerk* after it.

True story!

What if I just change my font setting to permanently red?

Off topic but did you guys see this article? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/18/olympic-village-sex-london-party_n_1684522.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003

J was telling me about this but I didn't believe her. Plus, the fact that it is from Solo's perspective?!?! Score!!!!

The Scarlet Letters?

SNERK!

Don't think I haven't thought about it.

I wondered about that too.

I wouldn't be giving ANY kind of advise to someone who'd been running a year and SMASHED a race like Salty did.  Rather, I think I would be begging for said smasher's advise!

I'm sorry about your daughter's wedding plans, Chris. It's good that you and your wife are able to be there for her. It's also good that she is beginning to see some of the good things that can come of it.

Post now. I did it, and no one can be as poor a swimmer as I am. I got a lot out of not only posting it, but looking at it, as well. I didn't really know what I looked like when I was swimming.

Yep. I don't know that many Olympians and I cannot imagine how or why this managed to come up in conversation with every one of 'em, but troof. I can only imagine what SCALE upon which it happens at that level ...

It was certainly the case when I was traveling internationally for swimming, and we would usually get housed in some kind of dorm, hostel or budget hotel. There was also an awful lot of booze and due to far less stringent drug testing back then, lots of other recreational substances. You wouldn't think so with a bunch of top athletes, but then again we were all also mostly teens to mid-20s. It was like unleashing a bunch of starving Labradors on an endless sea of Alpo.

hehe, thanks. I had to hold my tongue. But what I really wondered is why they had the idea I walked. I said I slowed down but that's more like... down to an 8 min pace vs low 7s. 

I just have a hard time believing that looking down at a watch is miraculously going to make me run faster. 

I admittedly screwed up on my pacing early on but that was because of the A. the tunnel and B. because I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone so that I know my absolute limits. Looking down at a watch wouldn't change that.  

She's really defensive whenever anyone says anything slightly negative about TI. Shelia's book was pretty critical of it, from what I know of TI, and the criticism was only thinly veiled. But hey, people disagree. We're supposed to disagree. If everyone shared the same opinion about technique on any subject, we, as human beings, would never grow. It's only a problem when people take the criticism personally, and I think sometimes she does when it comes to TI.
