Mel - to PR after all that AND have stitches?? BADAZZ! Hands - daaaaayum, you WON your AG and got some action! WIn/WIn! Mary - you absolutely WILL get to the finish line of that race, and I bet you'll have the biggest smile on your face when you cross that finish line. Jonathan - WOOOT to getting into the marathon! Kirsten - you're sooooo ready for IM Whistler! I can't wait to online stalk you in the non-creepy way! Jen - what a fantastic ride!! 60 miles and the last hour of it in the rain? You're way tougher than I am, Rain = trainer for me Jo - way to rock the trail race!! Stacey - soooo happy to hear that Phil is getting better, and that he was able to bring you 2 pairs of awesome shoes, and that your knee should be a-ok after the bruising heals.
As for me?? MY FIRST PODIUM FINISH EVER happened yesterday! It wasn't pretty, and my back was seizing like mad during the swim again, but I'm REALLY happy with both my bike and run times. YAYYYY!! Congratulations, Monica! That's awesome. Normally, rain = trainer for me, too, but I was already on the road and 15 miles from my car. I could have called for sag, but I think it was faster to just ride back. Thanks! Aaaah - I understand. I would have done the same thing and ride back in that case, but I probably would have complained about it the whole way. Oh, I complained. A lot. But it was mostly to myself. |

Way to rock it!! Can't wait to read your RR. Thanks Mary!! I'll try to have the RR done before Yanti gets done with all her weddings. Well, that's quite the bar you've set for yourself! Hey now, she is a busy woman, don't go bringing her into this! Let her relax and enjoy her honeymoon. BTW,where are you racing that random women are kissing you? And why did I miss thia race????? I think it would be very relaxing for her to write a RR! Race was on Singer Island - who knew such a toney place was such fun |

A few scrapes and cuts are nothing to dealing with a hurt back for THE ENTIRE race. I wish and hope they'd somehow get your back happy again. |

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Manatee Monkey Mentors SHUT (Poptart or pet pic bribes considered) Knee update. It felt really good this morning no pain at all so I decided to do an easy 15 minutes on the bike with very little resistance. It still felt good after that so I decided to do my scheduled short 15 minute run. It felt ok during this a small amount of pain but nothing really. About an hour later it started to get sore, but not as bad as yesterday. I went back to the Dr and no fracture or chip or crack or anything so that is good. He has put me on anti inflammatories for 10 days and said to come back in 2 weeks and he will either sign off that it is all good, or look at doing more tests if it is still hurting. He didn't say anything about not running or riding so I'm all good to go. WOO HOO no DL list for me so we are still all clear, unless you count Yanti's suspected food poisoning. |

| 26 | Subject: RE: Manatee Monkey Mentors SHUT (Poptart or pet pic bribes considered) WOW. I'm gone for a week, and I already don't remember where I left off. Races and podium finishes and bright green vests, OH My. And did I read something about a wedding? I'll do my best to catch up this week, but to everyone - YOU ROCK. And congratulations to those who raced, and got married and stuff. Last week was one of the worst I've had in a long while between stuff going on in my family and work and travel. One workout. By Thursday I will have worked 120hrs in 2 weeks...I get grumpy when I don't workout. On the plus side, I biked again today. For an entire hour. Then I went for a 2km run. And I thought I was going to die. Seriously. Is there a trick to running AFTER getting on the bike? And regarding races: The race I'm doing has a try-a-tri and a Sprint triathlon. Given that I can already run 7km and swim 750m, I think I could do the Sprint, but what are you thoughts?? Is it realistic? It's a 750m swim, 33km and a 7km run. I have to pick one... |

Good to hear the doctor didn't find anything. Are you still doing ok awhile later? That delayed soreness happens to me quite often when coming back from an injury. One reason I keep doing a lot less than I think I could that day for a little while. |

Emily, I hope you are feeling a bit better, good job on getting out on the bike. My suggestion for running off the bike is to try to at least walk after every ride. Get used to that "different" feeling in the legs as much as possible. And then increase the speed from walk to jog to run. Try it a few times. In a couple of weeks, go into a run right after the bike. It doesn't have to be far, but get used to that feeling. In regards to the race, the most common piece of advice seen in this thread is "Do It!" I don't remember when your race is (August?), but if you think you can do the sprint, then it is the one to do. Keep training, then on race day push yourself, smile lots and have fun. |

I think that not dying is the trick. That and what Stevey said, don't go out too hard. However fast you are going on the bike, it's faster than running so your mind thinks that you are running slower than you probably are. It certainly sounds like the sprint would be appropriate if you can get up to riding 33k on the bike. I have no doubt that you can |

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Manatee Monkey Mentors SHUT (Poptart or pet pic bribes considered) Originally posted by brigby1 I took a tablet with lunch and by tea time the soreness is gone from my knee. I will keep taking them and see how I go. I will also keep seeing how I am each day before I run or ride and won't over do it because I want to tackle my first 10k run event at the end of August.Originally posted by StaceyK Knee update.

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Manatee Monkey Mentors SHUT (Poptart or pet pic bribes considered) Originally posted by jmkizer Emily I think that if you are even close now to being able to do a 90 minute ride then you should do the sprint. The try-a-tri won't be a challenge and won't motivate you to keep training because you will be able to do it too easily.Originally posted by tigrrruns WOW.
