 Pennsylvania |  Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSEDOriginally posted by IronOx Mental game on point, physical, not so much Having your mental game on point is a major win, seriously more than half the battle IMO. Accomplishing your goal and your friend BQ-ing sounds like a very good day indeed, congrats to both! |

| Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED Originally posted by Hot Runner Good karma should be headed your way! My coach had something posted on FB that was similar, except it involved saving large numbers of newly hatched baby turtles while on a bike ride! Big news here #1 I got clearance to start running again at my checkup on Thursday and put in 30 minutes on Friday and today. Very slow and I am of course terrified of tripping again (so mostly running on grass around a park with a bunch of soccer fields) but it doesn't seem to bother my arm and legs have held up so far. #2 I have a phone interview tomorrow for a position with an elementary school on Maui. Looks like a great school, but the logistics of that move with household, pets, car, etc. are intimidating, especially as I'm not 100% physically right now. Will see what develops. Cannot do ANY race plans until I know if I'm going to be living/working locally or in Hawaii for next school year. Still pretty much at Crater Lake Marathon if local, Honolulu Marathon if Hawaii. That's it for the year, I think. Wooooo hooooooo on the running clearance and the phone interview!! Exciting stuff! |

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED Just quickly checking in. I had a great run on the weekend and it was topped of with a massive massive cherry when I got to watch my sister finish her first 80k ultra. She is just so amazing and inspiring and given that five and a half years ago she was told she would never walk again without a Zimmer frame EPIC is not a big enough word to describe her achievement. The bottom line is that without the Manatees she would have never done this because apparently it's all my fault that she runs - and that all started right here. So thanks from the bottom of our hearts. Attachments ---------------- 9D055E1E-8E5D-437A-ACB2-6D7E2DCB6479.jpeg (933KB - 10 downloads) |

I definitely felt a wave of panic when I snapped my goggles before the start. Hopefully you'll avoid such a calamity. |

Master 8250 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED I always have an extra pair of goggles on hand and if possible have someone next to the start holding them in the event I need them--habit left over from HS swimming. Of course that doesn't help once in the water! |

Of course that doesn't help once in the water! That's an excellent idea. It never occurred to me that goggles might pick that particular time to break. This was the only time I've ever brought extras but I'll always do so i the future! |

Master 9705 Raleigh, NC area | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED So.... I got Best Bike Split (BBS) and I set it up and it spat out some Chattanooga 70.3 numbers for my consideration. I don't know if it's good news or bad news but the numbers were the same as I came up with on Endurance Nation. I also loaded the Lake Logan Half. It would surprise no one to know that course was nearly 10 minutes slower than the Chattanooga course. I also played with the Time Analysis tool on BBS and found that I need to add 10 more watts more than I need to lose any weight at all. So the good news is that I can continue to eat! Now I need to download the Zwift files for these two races in case I have a rainy weekend this summer and I feel inspired to ride them. ETA: Race weather info. Load your course in Ride with GPS on your phone. Load the app Epic Ride Weather. Set your start date/time. Voila! Both Ride with GPS and Epic Ride Weather are free apps.

I loaded my numbers -some of which were guesses (I have no idea how much my bike weighs!!) and have gotten my numbers, but have nothing to compare them with so can't say how accurate they are. Plus, now that i have fancy race wheels to use, I assume i'm going to just fly through the course What I'd like to do is figure out how to load the numbers onto either my 920 or edge520, so i can be told what power i should be using every inch of the course!! Re: race weather, doesn't BBS have that function? Or perhaps the epic ride one provides more current info.. |
, so the numbers are probably all wrong anyway. | 2019-05-10 10:07 AM in reply to: amd723 |

Re: race weather, doesn't BBS have that function? Or perhaps the epic ride one provides more current info.. BBS does have an advanced weather function. I just thought not everyone would want to pay $19/mo for that -- especially if they don't have a power meter. I think that it's always a good idea to understand what direction the wind is coming from. If 5mph is what we actually get on race day, that's no biggie but we've all had to deal with really windy days on the bike and it's good to be mentally prepared for that. Re: getting the BBS data on your bike computer. I've never done that, I've just printed out the "cheat sheet" and covered it on clear packing tape to waterproof it. It looks like you can load the course on your watch/bike computer plugging it into your computer and letting it mount as a drive, then copy the BBS FIT or GPX files to the NewFiles directory. And there is something about a BBS ConnectIQ App for the 520 as well |

Marysia, what 70.3s are you considering? Janyne, I found a local non-IM branded race in WIsconsin on June 23: https://www.dutrirun.com/hctri My training is not impressive, mostly because half way I decided I would not be able to train enough, and stopped swimming (focusing on running towards the marathon in July). And just last week got a thought that ...maybe... I could try and train super hard to be semi-ready for the June 23rd race. I've been to this group long enough to understand 70.3 is no joke, and to take it seriously, so if I don't feel ready, I will probably do Oly distance, instead of 70.3, but will try to train my best. I was sick for over a week, and just got back to training two days ago, ugh, hopefully no more surprises along the way. Do you think this is way too crazy idea? |

I'm sorry to hear that you were under the weather. That can be tough to come back from! The race is in six weeks? So five weeks of training. Your long ride is 17 miles? And your long run is 50 minutes? Building up both the bike and run is a big ask, for sure. You have a trail marathon three weeks after the triathlon? Which is your A race?
