Alpharetta, Georgia | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED Originally posted by marysia83 Originally posted by lisac957 Yay! Was it your first Chatt or have you done this one before? If so, how would you compare it to the previous ones? What a fun race yesterday! Upstream portion of the swim got cancelled, so all downstream and only around 1300 yd. Bike was GORGEOUS and run was HOT! I had a great time out there! I did the full version in September (when the entire swim was cancelled) but first time doing the 70.3. This was my 12th (I think) Half Ironman and I was looking forward to a not-as-hot day with it being in mid-May and whanot. WRONG! High was 89 degrees and full sun. Early summer in this part of the country. I don't think I've ever done a 70.3 in not-blazing-hot conditions. Swim: All downstream this year, which I've never done in a race before. Current-assisted and deceiving swim times. Super easy. |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED If it is too hot down there, ya'll can come out to Idaho. We had thought summer was starting the past two weeks, but apparently not. Highs in the 50's and light rain most of the time in Boise since last Friday, a bunch of fresh snow up at the ski resort. I ran with gloves yesterday. Memorial Day weekend is supposed to be cloudy to rainy with highs in the low 60's. My guess is CDA 70.3 late next month will be a cool one. (Morning is always cool; afternoons can be anything, depending on weather fronts, sunshine or not, etc.) I am not planning any tris for the year at this point, at least until I can swim and bike without serious physical discomfort or making a fool of myself. At some point soon, hopefully, I will know where I am living next school year and can plan some run events, if nothing else. |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED Yikes--where's all that snow?! A former colleague who's now teaching in New Mexico (not sure where, but clearly somewhere up pretty high) said they had snow yesterday morning and might delay school start time. And Wednesday is their last day for kids. Wow! |

Is anyone else racing? Hands and I got to hang out quite a bit! It was fun! We definitely need to discuss doing more of the same events. I am counting on seeing her again at Land and Sky :-D Ann-Marie, I know that you mentioned Zion. Let's also put Mt. Lemmon on the list. Kevin wants to ride bikes out there. Speaking of Land and Sky, where are we on the Manatee shirt? |

Speaking of Land and Sky, where are we on the Manatee shirt? Mt. Lemmon would be 2020 at the soonest. I just put it on "the list" because Kevin is interested. It would be difficult to do Land and Sky *and* Mt. Lemmon at the same time! |

1731 Denver, Colorado | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED My old road bike got flat tire, and it's too old for me to invest in repairs (it needs many...), at least at this moment. So my partner offered to use his bike for training and racing. Meet a new guy in the family!! Does not have a name yet This is also the lightest bike I think I've ever rode... (well, my roadie was very old and pretty heavy, and my other bike is mountain bike, so I probably don't have much to compare...) We need to switch the pedals and adjust the sit, and I am going for a ride with a new nice beast! Oh, I was also told it would take me some time to get used to gear shifts... this is even more exciting...

Master 9705 Raleigh, NC area | Subject: RE: Manatees - 2019 Edition - Practice Maximum Enthusiasm - CLOSED Relay Talk: I just received an email from Glory Hound about some of the Land and Sky Relay logistics. I'm sure that others who are registered also received it. The finish sounds like it will be cool. I'd really love for Team Manatee to have a team shirt for the photo. :-D It's gonna be great! |
