Master  3870     |  Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?)Saturday morning, J and I drove down to Mt. Lemmon for an exploratory/experimental ride. It's about 26mi to the top...because of inexperience and planning hiccups only did 9. We took the mtn bikes (won't do it when we try the whole climb) and checked out a side road when we turned around. Found out there's ruins of a Japanese prison camp from WWII...no walls because they figured no one was stupid enough to try to "escape" into the AZ desert. Anyway, haven't had a Strava ride that looked like this in a long time, 2469ft of climb Yesterday we took the kids out for a trail drive/hike. Beautiful views at our stopping point, and then we came across a sign for the Arizona Trail, an 800mi section of the Great Western Loop that goes from Mexico to Utah. It also runs along the Mt. Lemmon road from Saturday's ride. I told J it would be fun to ride the mtn bikes up the road, then take the trail down sometime.

Originally posted by QueenZipp Running a course that has battle reenactments going on simultaneously is WAY TOO COOL FOR WORDS.

Had to walk from mile 9 forward cause my achilles went crazy. But I walked it in and finished. Sorry you ran into difficulties |
Good job finishing...I probably would've taken the riders up on their offer, going my way or not. lol| 2015-04-20 11:16 AM in reply to: Techdiver |
Master 3870 | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?) Originally posted by Techdiver Happy Monday had a fun weekend not really working out. Due to birthday adventures on Friday and Saturday. But I did manage just shy of 1700 m swimming yesterday while kids had swim lessons. I am FEELING that today. My coffee cup seems extra heavy that is for sure. Hope everyone had a great weekend. Now watching Boston updates for friends today. Look at you getting it done!?!?!

Master 3870 | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?) Originally posted by ponderingfox I won a 5k yesterday! I ran a 21:03 and took the race in a sprint in the last 100 yards. That's :55 off my time from last week. I think the other runner and I really pushed each other to a faster time than either of us would have run independently. It was a tactical race back and forth, and it's a fun story to tell. Really cool to win my first race! Woohoo! You showed him your blazing neon finishing speed. |

Now that sounds like a great race - there is no way one could get bored while running if there was reenactments along the course! I'll have to tell DH about this as he is a history teacher and would love to run a race like this. During the Boulder 70.3 last year there were some guys on horses and I asked for a ride. They said no. How rude, right? |

Master 3870 | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?) Originally posted by msteiner Checking in with a couple of things. Saturday I rode 100 miles on Zwift. It was way harder doing this on the trainer than it was outside.
But more importantly this weekend I'm getting married. There is a lot of work, time, and thought that gets put into weddings that I didn't realize until we started planning our own. With that said it's an exciting time, and I'm looking forward to it! Glad you have your priorities straight |

Pro 6520 Bellingham, WA | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?) Saturday's race went great through the first two miles and then my achilles tendon started to ache. Backed off but was really sore later in the day. Sunday I could hardly walk. Today I'm walking but with a limp. Still too early to see how long this is going to slow me down. Hopefully I can walk without a limp in a day or two and when that happens I can start some very slow jogging. I've been through this many times over the years. In more recent episodes it has healed pretty fast. I think that is a function of recognizing what it is when it starts to develop and shutting down early. Looks like some swim/bike focus for a while which isn't necessarily a bad thing. |

Turns out that 5:41:48 gives my fiance time to create a looooooong to do list! WOOT!! CONGRATS! Welcome to Marathon Monday!! little story: When I was in college I shared a suite with 4 members of the cross country running team. COMPLETELY ironic because back then I would do anything to avoid running. Fast forward to today - roughly 20 **cough** years later....one of said roommantes ran Boston today. She ran a 2:50. TWO FREAKIN FIFTY?! Psyched for her and I get to say "I knew her when....." Bummer though in that caliber of runners it "only" earns her 5th in her AG ~LOL Have a great day everyone. ME? I'm going to go home after work, sit my a$$ on the couch and try to catch up on 30some odd pages of manatee mayhem! |

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?) Originally posted by popsracer This 150 mile ride went past my house on Sunday. Riders must ride in pairs, pass through each check point with their buddy and withdraw as a pair if required. I saw a couple on a tandem road bike doing it. So is one of these in Matt's future?

I always admire people who can ride tandems together. I'm positive that DH and I would get into a fight if we tried to do that. We don't fight much, but that--no way. We've tried tango and swing dance lessons together and we both ended up saying (rather heatedly), "I can't dance with you. Go dance with somebody else." |

Royal(PITA) 14270 West Chester, Ohio | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?) Originally posted by popsracer So is one of these in Matt's future? There is a couple in my area that ride a tandem all the time. Impressive to see them out cause they are beast when they get going. That said, a tandem ti bike in carbon....would not want to guess on a price tag cause it would be way out of my pay grade. Yanti, if you had one of these to be Kingsley's guide could you keep from wrecking it? |

We all agreed they were crazy...and probably not couples outside of riding |
