Yanti & Salty Mad Manatees PART 3: FULL POD (Page 73)

Asalzwed - 2012-07-25 2:11 PM that is amazing!!!! And (hehe) here I was, all ready to complain about the swim workout Yanti MADE me do I did it though, all of it. No meals on a stick though.

Feeling sorry for myself now - my cold picks up strength in the afternoon keep choking on a dry cough

I refrained from running at lunchtime and I won't do the drainer either tonight, time to rest and recover for a day at least.  Tomorrow i've got Pilates and swimming so that's okay.

Nearly hometime....

Artemis' spelling homework was a list of words with 'ea' in the middle - my poem started thusly:

The teacher's name was Mr Bean, he kept his desk very clean
He like to drink hot peach tea, that made his glasses fog with steam.

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.

42m 39s

13.30 miles

18.71 Mi/hr

I'm always amazed at the beauty of my province.  I think I take a picture of this peak every time I go by. 

cdban66 - 2012-07-25 6:04 AM I'll give you the same what for that I give MerYanti...Rest, rest, and more rest. It is as (if not more) important as the training itself. If you don't rest, you'll never fully recover.

cdban66 - 2012-07-25 7:34 PM Yanti, I wanted to thank you for your swimming help (again). Now I just have to go put it all into action, probably be hitting the pool tomorrow. [Rant] BTW, I don't know how you all spend any time in TT right now. There just seem to be some threads in there that make me wonder what people are thinking. Not all of them, obviously, but there are more then a few that leave me scratching my head. I'm far from an expert, so the advice you get from me is what worth what you paid me for it. But there are some folks here that have really valuable info to share. Why go in there and ask a question about something and then argue with the answers you get? It makes no sense. I am more convinced then ever that this runs in cycles. OK, I'm done, thanks. [/Rant]

Feeling much love from my fellow manatees

My Channel swimmer is going through a tough patch at the moment - willing him to do it, France is well within his sights but on tide change can mean an extra 4 or 5 hours swimming.

TriAya - 2012-07-25 8:26 AM

Oh, I've been ranting to Salty about it plenty.

It does run in cycles, but with BT getting so big, it's getting less that folks know who each other are, and I think the respect level has gone down. Both the respect accorded to those who know what they're talking about, and as we get impatient, ours toward others. That's our own fault and we have to own it.

Not that simple, but ... most of the truly top-info, top-level posters just don't post anymore, and I understand why, and the site owners and mods, including myself, are trying very hard to think of practical changes that will both retain 'experts' as well as forums that are newcomer-friendly.

ArielLIlB - 2012-07-25 9:10 PM Question - how does someone get a "Veteran", "Expert" etc. status on BT? 

jobaxas - 2012-07-24 11:23 PM

Probably coz you deleted the cat with the teeth

Strictly based on post number. I forget what's what but you do get to choose your own title at 6000 if your posts aren't all in CoJ and you've not caused the mods too many headaches.

amd723 - 2012-07-25 9:19 PM I understand one of the experts (BryanCD?)that used to post here often got banned from the site. I'm not sure why, but he was one of the posters whose advise I paid attention to.

KansasMom - 2012-07-25 9:41 PM

Yes. Scout, for example. I really miss him (her?). With every question about running someone posts, I hope he (she?) will resurface and bestow wisdom. I loved Scout's running advice. (That's just one example.)

ArielLIlB - 2012-07-25 9:41 PM

So someone can post a ton of crap nonstop and get the title "Expert"...Expert in the art of B.S. I guess!

Also, I have a "veteran" designation, which I thought was generous!

TriAya - 2012-07-25 9:55 AM

I really can't speak to that. After all, every single one of my 43K whatever-whatever posts contains technical, highly detailed yet accessible and practical, strictly triathlon-related training information.

Is this person's hand and forearm position correct? I always feel like I don't have a perfectly straight line from finger tips to elbow, but I think I look like this person. See how her fingers are flexed backward? Is this correct?  If not, how can you work to correct it (since this is what I do)?
