Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Manatee Monkey Mentors SHUT (Poptart or pet pic bribes considered) I think I am caught up now. Chris - it's great to have you back from holidays. Mary - it's great to have Phil home and he is doing much better thanks. Still a way to go but getting there slowly. Also it's definitely better to have a DFL than a DNS and I think that no one really even notices who finishes last except for the person who does. TJ - sorry about your leg I hope the new bike setup fixes the cause of the problem. Jonathan - I hope you get a spot at in the marathon. Jen - great job on the bike ride, way to go. I like the green shoes much more than the white ones, the pinks are all a bit mismatched on the white ones. I saw this really cool story on a current affairs show last night. A guy and his friend were training for an IM when she was diagnosed with Moto Neurone Disease (probably spelt that wrong). She has gotten really bad really quick, to the point that she battles to walk now. Knowing that it was her life long dream to finish an IM her training partner towed her in the swim, towed her on the bike and pushed her on the run of IM Cairns! He finished in just under 17 hours. It was amazing to watch him, but man what a thing to do. |

| Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Manatee Monkey Mentors SHUT (Poptart or pet pic bribes considered) Originally posted by laffinrock Originally posted by rrrunner Good morning Manatees! Good news / bad news on my leg mess. Good news, James, the LBS owner thinks the IT issue could be my home grown speed-sl setup and adjusted that and my fit. And DS2 has agreed to run for me next Saturday. Bad news, leg still hurts like a sommommabish. I forgot and "ran" a couple steps this morning and holy MOLY that hurt!  Morning, TJ. Hope the new set-up helps the leg and really glad that DS2 is going to do the race with you. Kinda takes the sting out of the fact that it sucks so bad, but not really. Heal up soon! 8 weeks today until my very first tri!! I rode the bike leg this morning. OMG, I have some work to do! Thankfully DH was there to encourage me up the hills and I only had to stop once. He pointed out that it's better to finish DFL than to DNS and he figures that I won't even be DFL. I said I'm going to finish if I have to walk my bike up those dang hills and crawl across the finish line. I have to remember that between June 26, 2012 and January 21, 2014, I had 2 hip surgeries and was only swimming 600 yds 1x/week with a pull buoy (no kicking at all) at most. When I think about it that way, I've come a looooong way in the last 6 months. Feeling a little emotional about the whole thing and so grateful for all the help I've gotten along the way, including from you Manatees. "You've come a long way, baby!" Anyone remember that slogan? But in all seriousness, you've come a long way, baby! |

| Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Manatee Monkey Mentors SHUT (Poptart or pet pic bribes considered) Spoiler alert for the eventual race report: I wiped out at about mile 5.25 on my trail race today, but still somehow PR-ed by 4 minutes...wipe out also involved a trip to the ambulance guys, a refusal to go to the hospital, and a trip to the Urgent Care center which resulted in 4 stitches, lots of cleaning and gauze, a tetanus shot and antibiotics followed by some adult beverages for 'treatment'. All in all a great day! Oh, and I can't swim for at least 10 days until the stitches come out |
. Pics are on FB (I love do love me some wound pics) for those of you who are brave enough to view them. Who am I kidding, I'll probably post at least one in my RR, too! 
You've been warned.| 2014-06-22 8:59 PM in reply to: melbo55 |
Science Nerd 28760 Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: Manatee Monkey Mentors SHUT (Poptart or pet pic bribes considered) Originally posted by melbo55 I looked. I think they are cool pics, but i would do the same thing. I'm glad you didn't get hurt more and I hope you heal quickly.Spoiler alert for the eventual race report: I wiped out at about mile 5.25 on my trail race today, but still somehow PR-ed by 4 minutes...wipe out also involved a trip to the ambulance guys, a refusal to go to the hospital, and a trip to the Urgent Care center which resulted in 4 stitches, lots of cleaning and gauze, a tetanus shot and antibiotics followed by some adult beverages for 'treatment'.

We're not FB friends so please do post them in your RR - you might as well put the proof in the report for the record. (hee hee - and maybe I kinda like me some wound pics too...)| 2014-06-22 9:22 PM in reply to: StaceyK |

It was amazing to watch him, but man what a thing to do. Had the pleasure of watching Sharn's race day unfold. Seriously the poor lady can barely walk. Her deterioration has been very quick. She has ALS which is a motor neurone disease that claimed the life of the guy Blaize and now everyone in Hawaii does that Blaize roll thing. She won't live very long it's terribly sad. But watching her and the team race was far from sad. It was uplifting and inspiring. Commentator Pete Murray said it was the highlight of his commentating career. And watching her, makes me believe I can achieve anything I want to. |

All in all a great day! Oh, and I can't swim for at least 10 days until the stitches come out I did my first trail race yesterday (Sunday) 15km of hurt! Man I should have trained a little bit! I spent so much time looking at the terrain, rocks, mud wet and dry, tree roots, cliff edges, low branches, prickly scrub, hills hills hills, stairs both up and down.....got lost once coz I missed the sign too busy trying not to break an ankle! I had a blast. I was last last last by so far it was ridiculous but I smiled all the way. And then this morning checked the results - no not LAST there was a lady 9 mins behind me (ten years younger FYI) Huge congrats to all Manatee racers and brides and grooms of the fluro kind. |

Master 4452 | Subject: RE: Manatee Monkey Mentors SHUT (Poptart or pet pic bribes considered) Right on time...5 weeks out and I am starting to obsess... |

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Manatee Monkey Mentors SHUT (Poptart or pet pic bribes considered) OK Medical advice needed (cause you know internet diagnosis is very reliable). On Tuesday of last week I whacked my knee really, really hard at work. Got up, avoided throwing up and after an hour or so it stopped throbbing. The next morning when I got up it was a bit sore but not too bad, I thought it was just bruised. I didn't do any training for the rest of the week because of other stuff. My knee felt a bit twingy every now and then but nothing bad. On Saturday I started to get this sharp stabbing pain behind the knee cap when I walked, I hadn't done any running or riding. I just figured maybe it was because it is so damn cold here. Anyway yesterday (Sunday) I went for a stroll with the dogs and afterwards it was sore again. I didn't walk fast. This morning I got on the treadmill and did an easy run/walk for 25 minutes. The sharp stabbing pain came back while I was on the treadmill but it wasn't really bad, maybe a 3/10. In the 4 hours since I got off the treadmill it has gotten much worse and now every time I take a step I get the sharp stabbing pain behind my knee cap. There is no swelling or bruise but there does feel like there is a small dent in my knee cap. Should I: a) suck it up and stop being a wimp b) give it a couple of days with no running and see how I go c) go to the Doctor and get it checked out. I have filed an incident report at work because after watching Phil have to have a knee reconstruction from a minor little trip last year I want to be covered if I have in fact done some damage to it. Thankfully the lady that handles the incident reports was in the meeting where I whacked it so that makes it a bit easier to make a claim if I need to. |

And take some ibuprofen and/or acetaminophen; that'll help with the pain until you can get in to see the doc. Heal up quick! We've been doing so well keeping the DL empty lately. We've got a streak going here, people, so stop hurting yourselves already! |

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Manatee Monkey Mentors SHUT (Poptart or pet pic bribes considered) Ok knee update. My boss made me go to the Doctor (felt like a whinger going and wasting his time). His verdict most likely severe bruise to the tissue between the skin and the knee cap (I didn't think there was any but anyway) or maybe a small fracture in the knee cap, but as there is no swelling and no visible bruise this is unlikely. Xrays taken and get the results tomorrow. (Edited because I cant spell) Edited by StaceyK 2014-06-23 3:07 AM |
