Janyne - Wooohoooo nice race! The hard work paid off!!! (It Always does!) Plus, WINE!!!!!

Melanie - First and foremost, Fat Tire mmmm biscuit like flavor (read the label and you'll get it...) A great race, a double rainbow (what does it mean??!?!??!?!?!) and a podium ta boot! Nice job! 

Kirsten - Very nice work stickin it out and listening to your body and doing the run walk. MOre importantly getting down a HOPPY IPA is quite the feat, post race. I am impressed!
Reece- Nice work on the century in the heat!

Felicia (and Ben) I might be functioning at about 1/3 capacity today. Did I miss your race comments? How did it go?

I think I got everyone...I'm sorry if I missed you. Great job Manatees. I am impressed with you all!!!

Also, this was a disaster. *Someone* (I'm  not saying who) got beer goggles (about 20 minutes in after WAY too many  Phelps/Lochte conversations) and started identifying just about everyone as a "hot" athlete. 

"Hot Athlete, DRINK" cue Olympics theme song "DRINK" irrelevant London Landmark "DRINK" Royalty "DRINK" more royalty! "DRINK"

Heh, I love the Beatles but sheeeesh. You might be right. There eventually comes a time where we aren't what we were...

AND WHY THE HECK DO THEY NEVER SING "Piggies" publicly!?!?

A BOAT?!

What kind of a boat??? How did I miss this? Details, woman!

cdban66 - 2012-07-31 7:52 AM You just wait, this look is going to be all the rage. I hope.

Other Olympics comments:

-I think Hope Solo and Brandi Chastain are about to have an all out on girl fight! I just hope Brandi pulls a "Chastain" for it...

-We muted the pommel horse event and put on Ginuwine's "My Pony" and it was quantifiably more exciting. Do it. 

-Paula Radcliffe is out. That makes me really sad.

rrrunner - 2012-07-31 9:52 AM Hey Manatees... I don't know what my problem is the last couple days.  I was having some great workouts on friday and over the weekend.  My swim, bike and run all felt strong. I even ran up hills that I usually walk!  Then yesterday I was back to being a pool-brick. Today I started out on a run and felt sluggish from the start.  Then about a mile and a half in the dog decided to take off with some coyotes.  She usually runs off leash out in the desert and does a great job of coming back when I call her. Not today.  I yelled and yelled for her as I had visions of carrying her back to the house, torn to shreds.  She eventually came back,  unscathed.  After the sluggy start and the dog scare I was done so we headed home and only got a 3 mile run.  She may be grounded from running for a while, or at least relegated to running on leash...

Shake it off TJ, get some good sleep, jump back in, your MOJO will surface again.  I like the leash idea, better safe than sorry.

cdban66 - 2012-07-31 9:08 AM x2. But on the plus side you can increase your relaxing/drinking/fun in the sun time!

So, more Olympics observations. I'm sorry. It's probably just my friends and I but we seem to notice all the awkward stuff but:

1. Aly Raisman's parents YIKES! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXmuyIGE6qU

2. How unnecessarily close the swim commentators stand??????

3. Aussie women's beach volleyball: Bra on outside of shirt???

Opening Ceremony - didn't see it all - I liked the bit where they played British music from the decades but lots of it was very much only a hit in Britain not even the rest of Europe let along the US.

Not sure why they did the history of Britain thing - you'd be hard ushed to top Athens on their history set!  I'm biased having lived in Athens for 5 years and being married to a proud Greek - I loved their opening ceremony soooo much.  Beijing was a spectacle too - funny how both these countries are in economic downward sprials - no doubt Britain next - Olympics = expensive.

Problem livng in Australia - on the free to air channels (we don't have cable) all they show is events where Australia are competing with a hope and occasionally they will show something like any Phelps action.  So I keep getting treated to dressage and other horsey events - yawn.

I'm rambling. Bye for now!

OH MAH GOODNESS GOOOOORGEOUS ...

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. You all are great at being the light at the end of the tunnel. BTW, Reece, I decided to take your advice and work on my bike engine before I worry about a compact crank. It was difficult to stick with that decision after the thread in TT yesterday, but I'd already told my husband so I'm holding firm.

In case anyone else hasn't found the Olympic Triathlon coverage I found it on NBC Sport at 2:00 AM (my time) Saturday and 2:00 AM Tuesday (again, my time) for womens and mens respectively.

Asalzwed - 2012-07-31 10:55 AM

Awesome. Glad you are working on that instead as well!!!

Also, 2:00 am eh...very glad for DVRs. I don't do 2AM. Unless of course I am still up. 

Asalzwed - 2012-07-31 11:01 AM

I started running again yesterday!!! Yaaaaaay! Also, we ran at the beach and then went paddle boarding afterwards.  My friend (/running buddy) was so sweet. Since we were going to run and paddle I wasn't going to have a chance to eat dinner so she picked me up with a nice little lunch/dinner packed for me saying, "I knew you would be hungry." Of course she probably only did it for her own safety because when I am hungry, someone will feel the wrath.
