kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 Part 2 - CLOSED (Page 55)

Pretty normal for pros to race at least once a month.  He's not after the prize money (he has a massive eal with WTC and also receives appearance fees), he's trying to collect KPR points to qualify for Kona. 

It's rediculous.  The same locals ran off the PGA Tour as well.  I was there today.  There are 5 or 6 major thoroughfairs into the area.  The race partially shuts down one.  It's not a touristy area so the hotels, food establishments, etc. are making money hand over fist.  I'm baffled.

The people of the Woodlands have NEVER made sense, why should they start now? 

I think the problem is they make money hand over fist every weekend (the place was packed when I was there in March).  They can still make money without dealing with the inconvenience of a bike race. 

Speaking of crowd support -- I'm thinking about Roth or Copenhagen for 2013.

So yesterday, I hit the pool after work. About 15 mins in I really felt fatigued, and then started to get lightheaded. Tried a few more laps and decided to just get out of the pool. Just didn't feel good at all. Woke up this morning, still fatigued. Decided i really needed a short ZR ride before tomorrows Duathlon. I have pretty much had an easy training week as I wanted to go into this event fresh and really do well.  Diet has been really consistent for a while now. I sit here as I just finished my easy ride, still blah, and not feeling it.

Anyone else get this, and snap out of it? I hope this ZR ride wakes me up shortly. The pool really baffled me yesterday. It's prob stress and my mind.

Roth or Copenhagen.....SWEET!!!!!

Maybe you're getting sick?  I always feel fatigued and gross before a full blown virus or something hits.  I hope that's not the case for you, Jeff.  Good luck tomorrow!!!  Kick some a$$!

We bought a house today  After much back and forth we settled on a good price.  I couldn't be happier.  

It's been a busy day.  I've been running around, getting stuff done.  I should be resting my legs for tomorrow's HM.  I'm hoping the purchase of the house means I'm going to set a PR tomorrow.  It's warm and beautiful here today.  

Congratulations on the house!!! Do you have dates for the closing and such? You must be thrilled to be able to see a light at the end of the moving nightmare!

Congratulations! Hopefully the housing stress will calm down some now for you. 

Good luck to everyone racing today!

I'm heading out to meet Rud-y and Jeff-y to ride the Rev 3 course.

So this was one FUN weekend.  Friday I got to listen to Chrissie talk.  Something about a British accent.  LOL.  I was going to maybe pick up a book and get it signed but the line for the book signing started at 11:30 and the signing was 1-3, so I decided against it.  She was however handing out medals for the majority of yesterday afternoon/evening.  Pretty cool.

What I learned yesterday:

Mass start isn't that bad, lots of bike volume needed, pace the run right and you can run the whole thing, finishing is super emotional, oh and I learned how to burn 6 hours both with and without kids.
