MrsUSMC - 2007-10-05 12:54 PM Having a hard time giving your stuff away, are we? Not even tempted.

Think of it as carb-loading. (I think. I have a feeling it's mostly made of artificial, um, everything.) Yum! OK, back to work now.

Ah ... D001 is really a Bumper at heart ... bumping our thread ... it's cool, you can be an honorary member, we won't blow your Twinkie cover.

Nice article, van paulus. He sounds like a cool guy! I'd love to do Santa Clarita, but I'd still like to finish the training season out with AIDS Marathon (through early Dec.) and frankly, those Santa Ana winds get to me. A bunch of us just did a triathlon out in San Dimas which was bloody blistering hot (shameless plug for my Race Report here) with super dry winds that just sucked the water off you before it even hit.

Happy to help bump ya. As for the Twinkie cover, it's kind of hard to hide. I am displaying a box of Twinkies as an avatar, after all.

Hey! You just bumped us onto page 7. Nice work. I like you. You can stay forever.

Where in NC are you? I lived in Davidson (started college there) for two years.

Nope, sorry! That was filmed on the old Santa Cruz boardwalk, I believe. Great film. Super cheesy, but I LOVED it. It does have a near-record number of bloopers, though.

Bumping us back up to the top, where we belong.

 mmmmmmm, pizza!

wurkit_gurl - 2007-10-05 2:55 PM Uh oh...my throat is feeling scratchy and I am feeling a little bit sniffly I hope I do not wake up with some full-blown illness tomorrow. Hitting the drug store right after work to get some emergen-C stuff or whatever and some zinc lozenges - those things work wonders.

i always do a lot of hydrating when i feel a bug coming on, sometimes you can flush it out of your system if you catch it early......   gets a little annoying peeing every 10 minutes, but its better than getting sick for a week or two....   just my .02

Good call - going to get water right now... Sometimes I go the orange juice route, but not before a race - ew, acid stomach.

x2 on the flushing it out. I had a nasty cold coming on last week before my Oly and drank it away. I still have the scratchy throat and gummed-up head sniffles this week, but it ain't killing me.

Hope you feel better--fight it off!

Wow, how was Carpinteria? That was the one I originally planned to do but it closed out on me before I could register. Did you file a race report? Must hunt.

AIDS Marathon runs as a contingent at selected marathons, but I've done all their marathons already so I'm going it solo this year. I'm not firm on a race (it needs to be late Nov/early Dec.), but it'll probably be Cal Int'l in Sacramento.

Yeah, spoze I could do the half, huh? I hear they have cool medals, too (even for the 5K)! Plus it'll be a lot easier to pick up a jockstrapper if they only have to hang around for a couple hours.

ok team...and a few unnamed drop (outs) from other LOSER teams.

Went up to Lake Anna to assist GIna, Madcow and Tony in the jock strapping of the VA douple/triple.  GORGEOUS lake, ran along the edge of it this afternoon and through part of one of the woody trails with lots of red cedar (oh yeah the allergies are going crazy) That was about 3 miles worth of run so I'm up to 10.5 this week.  Rode around on my bike earlier for 11. 

This race is set up strange.  To get the 7.2 miles for the swim they went along the shoreline and back 18 times (BORING).  The bike loop is up and down the park entrance road (a 5 mile ride done 67 times for a total of 336 miles) and then they run that same fricking road for the 72 mile run

Trying to post a picture of the lake...needs a lot of editing to create the size limited by the site

San Dimas is where Bill and Ted had their excellent adventure, dude.

No fricking way would I go around in a loop that many times.  No offense to the double/triple racers, but they're nuts.

Durango is beautiful.  Pix tomorrow, I hope, or Sun for my 70-min run at 6800 feet...

That's too bad. Tri generally seems to be a very inclusive, friendly sport ... ya gotta move down here to sunny So Cal with us!

That's so awesome that you were at the DIM/TIM site. I sent some e-mails to the race e-mail for reading out inspiring messages to the athletes, but I don't know if they ever actually do get read (Gina said last year it was pretty poor, but maybe it would change this year).

I'm sniffing snot like a retarded dog (maybe I should join the Werewolves, I'd be in great company) but am in for an easy 10-miler tomorrow morning. I think I'm going to bed now--tired, have a cold, and it's been a long day.
