|  Seattle |  Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) I find it a little frustrating that we are like 12 weeks out from AG nationals and there isn't ANYTHING posted about the course. I mean, you can make some assumptions about the terrain, given the city it's in but that is it. Shoot, our crappy little sprint tris have info posted a year out. |

| Master  6595        Rio Rancho, NM |  Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) That was kinda my though about the mtb pedals. Need to loosen them up some and just get more comfortable with the terrain in general. I could sense myself learning as I tried new things and was (or wasn't) successful. I'll get there. After about the third biff I was ready to quit, but that's just not my style. So I got back on and kept at it.  Had a great time on the zip lines! Def a must do in Moab! We were with a family from Sydney.. Now the voice in my head has an Aussie accent :-D (image.jpg) Attachments ---------------- image.jpg (135KB - 18 downloads) |  |

| Master  3870         |  Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Sigh. I just emailed the race director because TONS of splits are still missing from Sunday morning. Our overall times are in, but there are mistakes (like one guy ran the "5k" in 6:45) which throw everything off.  Lots of people only have their bike time. Frustrating when you spend $100+. Anyone else have this kind of issue with a race company? Only being my 3rd tri, is this a more common issue than I would think? |

| Elite  4435        |  Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) An update from me in fact some achievements no less!My run pace is now a maintainable 6.35/km down from 7.10 and can improve.  My trainer ride pace is now 24kmh up from an average of 19kmhI'm up a lane at swim squadI am into my third week of zero sugar it's been tough with almost flu like withdrawal symptoms feel great today think its outta my system.  Sad news an old friend in the UK has just had a ten hour surgery for mouth cancer.  Hoping she's on the road to recovery.Scooby has a limp so is resting from walkers in fact I think we may have to visit the vet.  Dammit he just has no sense of pacing!!!  Oh check out this pic from my Tri club left to right Nicki Alan and me without them never heard of triathlon let alone ironman!  Girl on the right is Bronwyn who cheats that's all I will say about her. (image.jpg) Attachments ---------------- image.jpg (22KB - 19 downloads) |

Anyone else have this kind of issue with a race company? Only being my 3rd tri, is this a more common issue than I would think?  I had an issue with the timing company for the marathon that I did in February. They got it straight. It was an issue with my timing device (a foam thing on the race number), not an issue with what sounds like a lot of racers. |

I cannot believe what an addiction it is - I'm a chocoholic so for me this is major. For three days I've felt like i had the flu, headache chills etc. Craved some chocolate or lemonade to make it go away. But two days after I feel great. I've started back on fruit, just berries at the moment and they taste so sweet like they are artificial! It's bizarre! |
