Master  7712     Orlando |  Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSEDOriginally posted by jmkizer I took a look at the USAT Safe Return to Multisport stuff. The info for athletes is more or less a powerpoint. The meat is in the recommendations to race directors (PDF).
i just finished reading this too. I’m afraid that until there is a vaccine or much better treatment I won’t be racing . Hopefully, by this time next year ( sooner would be fine too ) those things will be a reality ! |

Hopefully, by this time next year ( sooner would be fine too ) those things will be a reality ! It gets even better when you read the officiating one. The way I read it, they were kind encouraging self-officiating and thing like "more athlete self-reliance may be needed, ethics of participation, respect for each other." In it's current form, I'd rather do a choose-my-own-adventure with a few friends than do this sort of event. Speaking of choose-my-own-adventure, an Endurance Nation teammate just did Covid19Man in his garage. He was signed up for IM St. George and decided to do the event on us Vasa swim erg, bike trainer and treadmill. He had a medal made
And someone arranged for Mike Reilly to call him! I think that he self officiated! |

Master 6834  Englewood, Florida | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED Ok, I want a COVID related medal, that is hilarious! It is time for me to get out some wood chunks and a dremel. I am beginning to wonder if we'll be able to put on our little race in January. 350 people between participants and volunteers. I'll be happy if it happens. |

That would be perfect for my oldest daughter. When she was young she would tell on herself and then self punish.She put herself in timeout more than we ever did. |

The medal is the best! Somehow when I look at it, I am reminded of Eric Cartman from South Park (probably the round face?). I read about the new guidelines for race directors earlier today and agree that a Choose-my-own adventure has much more appeal. |

Alpharetta, Georgia Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED Space bikes at least 3-4 feet apart with more racks and fewer people per rack I have zero faith that races will be able to be held with all of those restrictions (runners 13 feet apart?!), but how awesome would this be?! Just in general. To not have your bike right on top of the next one in transition! |

Champion 14677 Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED POL post. There is just nothing to post. No real training is going on. I can't connect for the Zoom calls since I have a weekly doc appt at those times. We are figuring out how to open our business safely. Hopefully it will work. We are still staying at home and social distancing and will be for a while, but some trails and parks are opening so that will help with being able to get out a bit. Happy Mothes Day to the Moms of all kinds. |

There is nothing like the joy of coming out of the swim to find your bike moved over and your stuff trampled on. It would be nice to have that as a "from now on" and not a for now rule. |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED Might also help with my pet transition peeve--people who use spray-on sunscreen in tight quarters. It's a potent asthma trigger for some people, including me! More than once I've run out of T1 gasping and wheezing after catching it in the face while taking off/putting on shoes. |

Member 836 North Augusta, South Carolina | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED Swam today! Was a struggle (first swim since the end of Feb), but I swam!! There's 1 state park across the border in GA that is open at the lake. 45 min drive, 52 degree air temp, but the sun was shining, the water wasn't too bad once it got in your wetsuit, and it beat dryland swim training. Had a lovely run after, too. 210 of the 215 students I've been teaching online for 7 weeks are DONE with ELA for the year. 4 of the other 5 will be done as soon as they turn in some work. Yay! |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED Yikes! I saw on the news about people crossing into Georgia to do things, but never occurred to me that triathletes might do it to swim LOL. That is probably a lot less risky than haircuts, tattoos, and such! I was tempted to check out a nearby lake yesterday (well, kind of nearby, 20-mile drive but we were out near there for biking) but imagine the water is still freezing. It was about 85 yesterday but that was one of the first days all year that temps have topped 70; not even 60's most days in April. I need water/air to be a bit warmer. Usually I consider OWS season to start in late June but might be moving that up to early June this year, since there don't seem to be any other choices for swimming! I *think* we can swim in lakes if they're not in state parks (which are closed) but it's kind of been inconsistent here with county and local-level venues--some open and some closed. Surely there wouldn't be that many takers for water in high50's/low 60's and "social distancing" should be possible! Congrats on being almost done with students--our kiddos and teachers will soldier on for another 5 weeks here. |

Member 836 North Augusta, South Carolina | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED Well, I live right on the SC/GA border and work in GA, so it wasn't really rare for me to cross into GA. I can't imagine 5 more weeks of school. However, when I go back the last week of July for pre-planning, you'll get the last laugh! |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: Manatees Roar into the 20s! CLOSED When I was growing up I lived about 3 or 4 miles from the state line, so it was pretty normal to run to Indiana and back! As for our school year, kids start early September, after Labor Day, teachers end of August. University starts late September. Oregon has always been like this. I think it has to do with our summer weather. June is always iffy; we joke that "Summer begins on July 5." September is almost always beautiful, sunny, and warm. (Last year, not so much, though. Everything seemed to come early--fall, winter, and spring. Not sure what's up with that! The rain here really drives some people batty but I kind of like it. Peaceful, keeps everything lush and green, and no need to shovel it. Spring lasts forever (February thru June.) Summer, once it finally starts, is almost always dry and sunny. I like the lack of extreme weather--aside from the occasional brief ice storm or windstorm, it seems much rarer than almost anywhere in the country. |

My sister did her first Marathon with me and my two brother's last October. She said since the Corvid Shut Down 8 weeks ago that she has been doing long runs (i.e. 20-23 miles) because that is what she has been enjoying the most. She is planning on doing a solo marathon later this month. So, the question is "Do people that think that people who run marathon might not know they don't have to, know that during a shutdown when there is nothing else to do that getting out in the fresh air for 4-5 hours for some light exercise might be really refreshing?" :-) |

I logged in to the chat but my computer was glitching up, and had no audio or video on my end. I could see you, but could not hear you, and you obviously could not see or hear me. Next week I think I'll try on my phone. |

Next week I think I'll try on my phone. ACK! Sorry to hear about the technical difficulties! Just to follow up with the Choose Your Own Adventure Talk that I mentioned towards the end of the call -- put your thinking caps on. If races still aren't a thing this fall/next spring but we feel comfortable with a gathering of 10-25 people (as opposed to 2000+ for an Ironman branded event), let's do a bike and beer and trail trail running meetup. Of course, I proposed Western North Carolina ;-) If 10-25 sounds like too many, we can always do mini-meets with two week pauses between. P.S. I am working. I've been on hold for-ev-er!!!
