Nibbs XXI (Page 81)

Why hello there...

Oh, and can you smell my chlorine, Beth?

Well hello you little vixen

Meow

LOL... purr (with substance)

Searching on the inter-web, I found out that the jellyfish were lion's mane jellies.

And, someone died during the swim on Sunday.  I had no idea.  It's terrible. 

Thats so sad

Lol - i wonder what would happen if I scratched behind yuor ears...

I read about that in tri talk.  Any other info on it yet?

I might be inclined to scream "ALLEZ CADEL!" 

(but really, ALLEZ CHRISTIAN!)

sesh - 2008-07-22 12:22 PM Potentially good rumor from Jackson, MS.  The local triathlon group, which until now has just been an email group and not much else is having a meeting on Thursday.  Word on the street is they are about the ramp this thing up into a full blown tri club with officers, training groups, etc.  The hush hush rumor, that I'm of course going to blab about on Nibbs, is that they are looking at making a strong push to host a HIM here .  I mean, we've already got two half marathons, an Oly Tri, and two century rides that do very well, so why not this next step?  Maybe it'll give me an avenue to organize the three mile swim I'm wanting to start!!

thats fantastic! Sounds like yuo want to get involved with it then? sounds like you are in a seriously great area for training and racing

Ive been doing some 'research', Vandevelde seems to be a good guy....

Allez Cadel huh? I dont think Ive shouted that yet..

Not yet.  They are doing an autopsy.  So sad.

That's exciting!  Richmond has a great tri club.  Nice to have group workouts.

Three mile swim is daunting.  I don't think I could handle that. 

If they can survive the CSC attacks that are sure to come in the next two stages, both of them are really good time trialers, so that will be big, especially since it's a longer one.  I think Cadel knows this, and it's why I think he'll end up in yellow in Paris.

We've got quite a few Ironman finishers in the area, and a couple of good youth swim teams and master programs, so I think it might fly.  I'd love to have one since there really isn't a good long distance swim even anywhere close.

There's a two mile in Charlottesville (about an hour away) and a four mile in Baltimore.  I'd like to work up to the two mile next year. 

And Menchov...

Im thinking... Evans, Vandevelde, Mechov, Schleck for GC now... maybe?

Also helps that the meeting is at the best pizza joint in town and they are paying.  It's also got the best beer selection, which I value greatly

There is a suburb of Jackson (Ridgeland), that has made a strong push in the past two years to extend it's multi-use trails.  Plus we have an enormous reservoir and the Natchez Trace, which is actually a nationally recognized bicycle route.  Team in Training has a strong presence here, and a program called Marathon Makeover has taken off.  They are at the cusp of doing some REALLY cool things here, so yeah, I'm willing to dive right in and help out where I can.

Menchov frightens me.  He's determined, angry, and focussed.  Oh, and he's also really good.

So jealous! i want to live somewhere with those kinds of training resources!

Oh yeah... he is totally a contender... just doesnt seem to get quite as much press... maybe becuase he is such a crap interview!
