![]() | ![]() rrrunner - 2012-06-26 8:15 PM Felicia, we are in the mid 90's and don't have the humidity. It gets hot fast! Maybe racing the sprint is a good option, no? All this talk of racing on the 8th I might have to do one i've been contemplating. It's actually only a 5k! Sounds like a great race and an excellent chance for redemption!! For me, that is partly why I pick the races I do: is there some element of fun or uniqueness or special location? THAT is what pulls me into a race. And beer. Will race/play hockey for beer! |

![]() | ![]() jogo - 2012-06-26 11:13 PM So I've biked a little, swam a little, ran a little, and I am the proud owner of a $50 Sugoi tri suit that was marked down $100. I'm totally ready. Now just sit on my a$$ and wait for July 8th to get here. Ha, JUST KIDDING!!!! Have no idea what the training will be for the next week and a half but my goal is just to keep doing something. Starting Paleo Whole30 tomorrow. I apologize ahead of time for any b*tchiness or crabbiness that this may bring out. My DH's reaction: "Really? Can't you wait a couple of months? I don't know if I can handle your youngest moving out, your empty nest syndrome, evil tri b*tch, and you WITHOUT wine or chocolate. I may have to leave you a forwarding address and I'll come home when the 30 days is up." Wooo! Congrats on the tri suit deal! But I gotta agree with the other manatees: what plan involves giving up chocolate and wine? Eeek! All kidding aside, good luck! |

I paid attention to my head position, and my neck/shoulders were definitely less sore. Congrats on the training PR -- you're just smokin' it right now, good race, great swim, longest bike!!! Good news on the bike position, too. And you're likely acclimating to higher mileage on the bike as well. Thanks, Yanti. Yes, I am gaining some confidence to be sure. I am feeling strong and like I am recovering well and quickly from workouts. Only 4.5 weeks to race day. Eeeek! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Dang! We are on page 91 already! We are going to be MANATEES Part 3 pretty soon (or is that Part TRI?) So all this talk of IM, HIM has got me considering the March HIM in San Diego! Crazy I know! Talk me out of it! Talk me in to it! Told my DH to tell me not to do it and he said he couldn't do that. My 21 year old son who lives there told me if I "get to work" I could be ready by March (not sure what he thinks i've been doing)(he's never done a tri). Guide me my POD... |

I have less commitments so more time to train & less heat makes it more pleasant to train (snow isn't really an issue in NM). Some of the bike will likely be on the drainer but i've got my Chrissie-death-wish-AudioFuel for that. What about the ocean swim though. How does a land-locked NewMexican prepare for an OWS in the OCEAN!? |

San Diego is one of my favorite places and would be a fantastic place to do your first HIM. As others have said, you have plenty of time to get prepared. So I am firmly on the "DO IT" bandwagon.

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I'm having a bit of trouble getting back into the swing of things after vacation, sickness and injury. The nonstop rain from TS Deby hasn't made things any easier. At the beginning of the year I was contemplating the new REV HIM in Sarasota in October or repeating the Miamiman HIM i did as my first HIM last year. That race is November. I haven't been able to pull the trigger on either and I keep getting emails about price increases. sigh. I am signed up for a sprint August 1st, so I will have at least 2 tris completed this season. Seems like a waste of my beautiful new in January P2 not to get more races in this season, so hopefully my funk will leave with Deby. Of course, if I saw a local beer and BBQ race, my mood would improve drastically! |

Clearly, you did not read my article Also, the swim is very kind, for an ocean swim; it's a deep-water start (so no surf to get through) and the only time you might have swells is in the short end-of-hairpin part that's beyond the channel. Anyway, whatever you do, don't read my CA 70.3 race report from 2008. Edited by TriAya 2012-06-27 11:36 AM |

You're a pretty good athlete and while your race may not be optimal in October, you should be fine to finish it with some measure of cheer. Get some friends together and MAKE yourself a beer and BBQ race I hear you on hard to get going after interruptions, particularly negative ones. Even a wonderful island (well ... it IS an island, heh) vacation is hard to come back from; there's that inevitable slump. But I bet if you go ahead and pull the trigger on a race, it would give you a bit of go getter ... |

If that helps you pull the trigger. We live 30 minutes from race site. Last year I volunteered at the local sprint that uses the same staging area. The ride will pass a mile from my house, on the highway I ride on a couple of times a week. Oh yeah, let me check that with my wife first. And I'm with you on TS Debby, I am soooo done. When animals start to gather 2x2, it has been too much rain. |

![]() | ![]() Agreed, Yanti's new pic with Red Rocket looks fierce! Sadly, I never look bad azz in any race pics, just bad, LOL! Hence the avatar with me not even in it because I am taking the pic! But I love all the manatees' recently updated avatars! Maybe someday I will have a race pic I actually like... |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Thanks for the encouragement (and the conditional room offer), I will keep swimming, biking and running and hoping that things fall into place. I may try my own beer and bbq run this weekend. That may do the trick |
