OMG that human-toothed cat was sooooo creepy! So much so I had to delete it so it wouldn't keep showing up in the thread!

Really? I thought it was hysterical. Possibly also because of the contextual allusion to Tom Demerly and the outright one to GatorDeb.

TriAya - 2012-07-24 9:16 PM

Never say NEVER. It has a weird way of becoming your destiny.

That said, I'm NEVER going to swim the Channel either. Too bloody cold.

Cheering for your swim mates!!!

ArielLIlB - 2012-07-24 9:29 PM Biked my first time trial today. I was hoping for an avg. pace of 17 mph and to get in in 45 min or less. Look at me go! My coach said, look how far you've gone in such a short time!  And that's with my little road bike too! Oh, and half inflated tires, my coach informs me after the race. OOps hahahah.

Thanks for fixing my link, Kirk! 

I had posted it, then ran off on my long bike ride (30 miles, 1 hour 58 minutes)---and then I came back and found out there's going to be a Spartan race here in Sacramento!!! YES!!!! AND, its in November, so I can do schedule it! The one minor weird bit....its a Spartan Beast race, which means, it is a 13 mile course--with 20+ obstacles! Wow--I wasn't planning on a half-mary til 2013; oh well, nothing like a new race to up the training factor! 

I CAN'T WAIT!!!

I'm kinda looking forward to this, just in case you can't tell....Woo-hoo!!! It will mean 3 obstacle races this year! Too much fun! (I hope.)

That is so true, when I first met my now best friend Nicki and she told me about triathlon and Ironman I said, I would never do a triathlon, I would never run a marathon, I would certainly never contemplate an Ironman...gotta stop hanging around with Channel swimmers.

TriAya - 2012-07-24 9:38 PM

It's a bloody catching as well as escalating disease, this endurance stuff.

ArielLIlB - 2012-07-25 10:31 AM

I don't know either of them, so maybe I missed the funny. That smile was just too...Cheshire, I guess. Cheshire on crack.

jobaxas - 2012-07-24 10:34 PM

You have inspired me - it's time to HTFU and get on that bike OUTSIDE!  A girlfriend got knocked off on Sunday though - flew across the car etc, a woman didn't stop at a junction and just nailed my friend.  She's fine, a bit bruised but no broken bones, helmet was in two pieces - it just worries the heck out of me.  Back to the track then for me - but it is outside!

jobaxas - 2012-07-25 10:39 AM

Beats typhoid or dengue fever....are you still doing Busselton - I'm serious about coming to watch.

ArielLIlB - 2012-07-25 10:36 AM

NIce! THose crazy races are honestly the last thing I would ever want to do (I have enough trouble not tripping over my own feet or falling over sideways at a deadstop because I leaned the wrong way after unclipping).  BUt it is AWESOME that you have something you are so pumped for! That makes for some great training. 13 mile obstacle race is hard freakin' core!!

KansasMom - 2012-07-25 8:57 AM

Maybe that's my problem. Yesterday and today's swim workouts included 25m sprints. I have had to take long naps each day, and when I wake up, I feel like someone hit me over the head with a 2x4. After reading the article, I think maybe I wasn't resting enough. I was "resting" by doing 25m of catch up -- well kind of. Oh, I can't think or type. 2x4 to the head. You can look at my logs.

One is Cheshire. The other is on crack.

Should be working should have run - instead I'm following a little dot on a map which is the boat accompanying Grant across the Channel.  The rules are very strict - no wetsuit, speedoes a cap and goggles and as much grease/lard on your body as required to keep warm and sunscreen as it's now summer time!  Your crew can feed you via a rope and a stick and hook etc.  If the pilot deems you unfit to go on or conditions too risky he can pull the attempt (happened to a guy last week only 3km from shore, he had an asthma attack and pilot called it off)

Anyway below is a map of Grant's progress!, if you can see the faint dotted lines that's the main shipping lanes (one of the busiest in the world) ferries, container ships tankers etc.  the little pink shape is the boat Anastasia!

Darn. The map didn't show up. I would love to watch. That's just an amazing feat.
