Regular  866    Central Coast, CA |  Subject: RE: TAN 201: Yanti races Ironman JaTANOriginally posted by cgregg Originally posted by MOlsen Arg... my "A" race of the season (and first anniversary of my first triathlon) was over the weekend and I was determined to beat my time from last year. My swim and T1 times were both a few minutes faster, however the timing system didn't record any other of my times. When I crossed the finish line the race clock was a few minutes slower than last year's time, however in general I felt faster. My own timing messed up as well as my bike gloves hit the stop button on my watch timer during the bike. I've emailed the timing company, hopefully they can figure it out.
Oh, bummer! That's mega-frustrating; I hope they can figure it out.
Just heard back from the timing company, they did get my final time (which is the most important one!) Last year: 1:42:06 This year: 1:34:18 Feel pretty good about my results, beat my time by a solid margin. I still have plenty of room for improvement for next year! |

Champion 6503 NOVA - Ironic for an Endurance Athlete | Subject: RE: TAN 201: Yanti races Ironman JaTAN Originally posted by mehaner Originally posted by 1stTimeTri Originally posted by mehaner boss just told my work group (10 of us) not to plan on taking any vacations in 2015. yeah right. watch me follow that rule. Is that legal? I don't think they can do that. I know we have a mandatory "no vacation without special approval" weeks near the end of January and at the end of Aug/beginning of Sept. to accommodate the new school sessions so there is support available, but that's different. i don't think it is legal, and i won't be adhering to it. his exact words were "i strongly recommend you plan vacations for the end of 2014 because in 2015 you might not be able to take that trip" "Ummm, yeah...I'm gonna need you to come in this weekend." Does that dude think before he speaks? Did he write the book "How to make enemies and demotivate people?" Or "How to go from good to bad" or maybe "I'm the guy who hides the cheese" (Subtitle - For no apparent reason) Are you working for the jerk from Office Space? |

Let me live vicariously through you guys - whats for lunch today? Make it good  Leftover homemade enchiladas. YUM! Leftover spaghetti squash lasagna! That's how moms used to make it. I guess it's tried and true. I was wondering if there was a healthier and more exotic way. Maybe steam it and add some hot sauce or curry or piri piri? Just thinking out loud. I made spaghetti squash "pasta" with turkey bolognese the other night. It was ok. Not awesome like real pasta, but decent (healthy) alternative. I have an acorn squash I need to figure out how to prepare the next few days. |

I have an acorn squash I need to figure out how to prepare the next few days. That sounds amazing. It's all already roasted... but I could definitely try some with brown sugar.
If it's already roasted, you could puree it with some garlic, cream, and chicken stock, etc.. and make a savory soup. Just ask Google about acorn squash soup, and adjust recipes for the fact that yours is already roasted.
Now we're talking. Squash soup. nom nom nom. |

Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: TAN 201: Yanti races Ironman JaTAN 6th year anniversary today. The traditional gifts are candy/iron. The modern is wood. Doesn't the girl get wood on every anniversary? SO, I could get her a bag of candy (which I would eat) or cast iron cookware (I do all the cooking), or a tree? |

Holy moly the guy could not talk coherently! I know they don't do any drugs/alcohol anymore and they're all clean, but the effects of years of the hard stuff is EVIDENT. Yikes. He is from my city though, so that was cool to see. |

Oh, I feel for ya It is one of the few sounds that can immediately wake me from a dead sleep.... especially if I happen to be even slightly aware that the dog is on the bed with me. About 8 years ago, I had one of my pooches vomit on my feet while I was sleeping.... that was quite the nasty experience.

Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: TAN 201: Yanti races Ironman JaTAN So check me if I'm wrong. BUT, could the occasional fight be a good thing? It sort of snaps you out of a rut and "reboots" things. As long as it's not about stupid stuff or violent. But sort of a venting and realize that they are an actual person and not just a spouse? If that makes sense. Maybe once every year/couple years? I think it get's easy to be complacent and assume everyone has their jobs/rolls and just cruise along. I think you need the occasional shakeup. |
