Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 67)

Felt crummy too!  I have switched to a no sugar no grains lifestyle (not to use the word diet) - though weight loss has been an added bonus.

But getting off sugar is like giving up crack (i imagine!) - headache, chills, nausea and lethargy to name but a few symptoms of withdrawal.

Today I feel heaps better - I blew off the Personal training yesterday (yes imagine how sick I was feeling to give up a session with piglet Andrew), went home had a massive roast chicken dinner and an early night.  Feeling much better today.

Look who won Florida 70.3 at the weekend...

So I wrote up my RR, but the results aren't complete. I'm still missing two splits! I don't know my swim time and I really, really want it  

Can I edit my RR after I've made it public?

This gets me to the pool

hahahaha! Funny how that works.  I feel your angst.

K. Want to post it, but this company is having lots of issues. DH said they might not even get all the timing info posted by the looks of it. Never had this problem with other races

My US geography is dumb basic - like hopeless.  BUT fellow Manatees I hope you are all safe - that tornado was some powerful force.  My heart goes out to people lost and left homeless, just devastating.

In brighter news, I was walking at the beach on Sunday and saw a pod of dolphins along with a flock (right word?) of pelicans.  Beautiful..

I'm no help on the peddles, but I LOVE flowering cacti!  I musta taken a hundred photos of cacti when I was in Arizona a few years back...Thanks for sharing the photo and have fun ziplining!!

Edited to fix spelling mistakes...

Gonna give my girl a big hug tonight.  Just tragic.

Crying here. GomesBolt (Matt Gomes) on BT is nearby as well and had posted the info on FB.

Also thinking of your kids and their grandmother and her family.

It's the thought that your kid is in trouble, in danger and you can't be with them.  That's what you want.  The teachers are heroes from what I'm reading.  Thankful for those saved, heartbroken for those lost.

I definitely like being in a couple on a MTB, adds to the adventure. Oh, PEDALS?!

I've always ridden MTB pedals and shoes on road bikes, so that may have something to do with it--actually I prefer clipless on MTB (more than I'd prefer clipless on a road bike, even!) because I feel like I have much better control with them. Way too easy to slip off platforms on uneven terrain.

Seat's lower so unclipping/stopping isn't an issue.

IT IS TIME FOR A JOGO MANATEE CHALLENGE!!!!

**This is completely voluntary.  Some of us like the accountability but we totally understand that it is not for everyone.

For those of you new to our pod, every so often we have gotten our "jogo" on and challenged ourselves.  It is a way of staying accountable to the group.  I have needed the support every so often and now it seems to be a "thaaaang" that some of us look forward to.  It is a 30 day challenge.

If you are interested in participating, please post up what your challenge will be.  You will need to post here or in your log daily how you did.  I will post a list of pod members participating and what their challenges are so that we can stalk each other.  There is no prize except pride (and maybe pop tarts) at the end of 30 days.  

Do you all want to wait till June 1 or do you want to start sooner?   I will go with the majority.  

1. Jogo-Whole 30

Thanks Jo, your timing is impeccable. I bailed on my run this morning. So, it seems that my challenge to myself will be either running OR if Judi posts something swim related, I may take her up on that. I need as much swim motivation as possible. I'll have to give it a little thought.

I have no input on the MTB question. But, zip lining is AWESOME!!!!! Have a blast.
