TIME TO TRAIN!fattyfatfat - 2009-05-31 4:32 PM dalessit - 2009-05-31 3:48 PM Why is it when you prep food for the grill you have to drink beer. While cooking on the grill you must drink beer. While eating crabs + the food cooked on the grill you must drink even more beer... Why is it when I'm breathing I have to drink beer? Good to hear you got crabs and your wife isn't pissed. Serious stuff here... cooking crawfish is easy, boil 10 minutes shut burner off, soak 20 minutes. Yeah there are slight variations to this but... Now where the religion comes in...whats in the boil. The directions on the back of a boil bag (or bottle)...LoL! I assume you are using Old Bay today. Man that's some good stuff but I've actually seen people fight over OB or Chachere's. You be hard pressed to even find OB in some places down here. ssshhhh...don't tell anyone I said this but boiling shrimp. OB all the way baby! John, you are a traitor to the cause |

LOL, now that you mention it, they have kinda gone a little mainstream with the little trumpet dude... Up here in Dallas land I mix a little concotion called "Rabit Pruf" for the flower beds. It runs dogs off as well - you start with 4 oz of habaneros and grind them up... |

Champion 5522 Frisco, TX | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! While we are on the topic of SE Tx fare... When I first moved to Beaumont, I decided to make gumbo. I was unaware that there were types of gumbo and types of cajun sausage. So I made a seafood, chicken, and sausage gumbo. It had crab, red fish, shrimp, crawfish, chicken thighs, tasso and boudain in it. It was very meaty and I ended up not having to make rice to go in it either. Nobody actually laughed out loud, but even being from OK originally, I came off as a big gober from the "North" For all the rest of you, boudain is a pork and rice stuffed sausage that is generally grilled and served with white bread and mustard. (Now I am starting to get hungry just thinking about it..) I should have used andouille which is more like a spicy version of polish sausage.... One more thing for those of you not on the Gulf Coast, you have never really had shrimp until you get some fresh off the boat - they are soo flavorful and succulent! I gotta go get dinner now - Thanks John, I am sure I am about to blow out my calorie count for the day and I blame you! |

HAHA no that is her, not me. We use OB on all seafood up here, being we are rather close to Baltimore the crab influence extends to the DC area. I love all cajun food, pretty much if it's spicy I like it. I did see someone recommended cooking the boudin in with the boil also, wrapped in tinfoil or something like that. |

Member 69 Calgary, Alberta | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! Hey Everyone, I did a 10k today, only my second. Here is my race report. http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=161641 Also, I learned to change a flat tire the other night. Haven't tried it myself yet but plan on getting some practice in before my second tri June 6th (I got two flat tires on my first sprint tri and had to wait for the bike help truck to come around. After that I vowed for my next tri that I would learn to do it myself!) Does anyone have any suggestions or tricks for changing tires? |

Never heard the tin foil thing before, but from experience (gumbo) if you just boil it, it can and will explode into a rice-y, ground meat mess which works in gumbo, but I am not so sure about with mud bugs... |

Champion 5522 Frisco, TX | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! Nice race report! As far as the tire change, never had to do one outside the garage yet. I would say be careful with the tire levers, I broke a couple of them the first time... |

Elite 3395 Raleigh | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! Well I can show how to better than describe it, but here goes. BTW: This is for a clincher. You need two tire irons (TI), a pump and strong thumbs. 1.Stick one TI between the rim and the tire and pry the tire over the rim. 2. Using the 2nd TI spaced a few inches from the 1st TI, pry more of the tire over the dge of the rim. 3. using the TI's draw them along the face of the rim so that the entire sdie wall of the tire is off the rim. (The other side of the tire should still be on the wheel.) 4. Remove the flat inner tube. 5. Carefully make sure there is nothing sharp sticking through the tire. Do not cut yourself! 6. Put a little air in the new tube to give it some shape. 7. Put the valve throught the hole and insert the tube into the tire. 8. Once the tube is in place release the air you just added. 9. Carefully use the TI's to leverage the tire back over the rim,. 10. Work the TI's in opposite directions so pry the side of the tire back onto the rim. 11. Be careful not to catch the tube between the tire and the rim. 12. You may have to make sure again that all the air has been released. 13. When only a little bit of the side wall has not made it onto the rim, use your thumbs to pery it on. 14. You can use the TI's to pry that on but be careful not to puncture the tube. 15. Slowly inflate the tube to make sure it is seated correctly. 16. If it is not seated right, relaease the air and reseat the tire. BTW: when I was a mechanic the manager of the shop told us we should be able to change a flat in 60 seconds. We had never seen him change one so we said "yeah right!" Well, he proceeded to do it in about 50 seconds! Of course that meant we now had to do that. We learned to keep our mouths shut fronm that incident. Good luck and hope that makes sense.

I know Tri-it has clinics I believe on Saturday mornings where they will show you how to fix a flat for free. Call them or check their site. I had NEVER changed a tire until a month ago, but I've done it a few times now and feel quite confident. Even put on new tires!! No where near doug and the 60 second thing though!I did a 10k today, only my second.

Expert 1010 Greer, SC | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! Plainsman AU - 2009-05-27 9:50 AM So much talk about the weekend already....It is just WEDNESDAY. I don't even know what I will be doing tomorrow  Chris, you better get up and get out early and get some training in. Laying out till Monday? I would hate to be slapping you on the back 5 miles into the bike in Augusta. (time to start talking some smack) I am figuring even on a bad day and with NO training, you are going to kick my A$$ in the swim Suzy, I don't know if I agree with the OWS vs the POOL thing. I think I have gotten a TON of improvement and confidence from the amount of OWS that I have been able to do. I am believing that you feel the same way. Given the opportunity, I would trade a pool session for ow anytime and feel good about it. I do think however that I get some great workouts with the masters group, and am probably pushed into the upper zones more...I don't know if that is a good thing or not. But I LOVE the lake swim. My wife bumped my bike ride this morning to go workout with a friend. What is a guy to do about that? I am working from home today and will be alot this summer, but I have the 5 yr old with me, so I can't just slip out for a ride. Hopefully this afternoon. I hope everyone had a good weekend. I spent the entire time working. I have worked four consecutive 15-17 hour days and I am whooped!! Somehow I managed to get in my long ride today. Barry, since I'm back, I have to let you have it right back~ There is no way you will be slapping me on the back as you pass me at mile 5 because you will still be in the water when I'm at mile 5!  |

Expert 1010 Greer, SC | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! TrevorC - 2009-05-27 10:17 AM Hey Chris....because of work you can't train until Monday? I'd like to feel sorry for you and all, but hmmm golf weekend?? Shannon-- As a new orthotic wearer, I had the same type of issues until i got mine. There were times when I would almost twist my ankle walking, mine was from bowed tibia's. But orthotics have made a world of difference in my every day life, nevermind training. Sorry Trevor, I never even touched a golf club this weekend. I was at work at 5:00am setting up a three day tournament so others could play in a golf tournament. Yesterday, I worked from 5:00am until 10:00 pm and did not swing a golf club. I wish it was just another golf weekend. |

Definitely watch a few videos as seeing it really helps. Here's one from USAT As like most things, there is more then one way to accomplish this. For example I don't use a tire lever to put the tire back one and I use don't use my thumbs but rather the top part of the palm of my hand for those last few inches. I think I'd have some serious blisters on my thumbs from the past weeks tire changing events if I did! Experiment BEFORE you get out there and do use whatever method works best for you. 60 seconds Doug...NICE! Edited by fattyfatfat 2009-05-31 7:53 PM |

Ike cancelled last year's festivities, if they put it on this year, I might just have to make the trip. John, you ever been over to Winnie? I bet there are some great places to ride over there. You could probably do hill repeats on the bridge over the ICW down by High Island. I am guess the Bolivar Peninsula is still pretty much abandoned... |

Commanders is on of the best restaurants in New Orleans, that's a hard thing to accomplish! Been to Winnie, mainly driving through many times. That McDonalds was the meeting place for all of us traveling over to New Orleans during my undergrad work at A&M. I'll definaltey meet you there for the festival and a ride..ride first!. Bolivar... yup. Also I don't think people realize how screwed up Galveston is still. Here's "the yellow house". All the rest used to be homes. Katrina kicked our family out of New Orleans (North Shore) and then Ike followed us here! Let me update that...we were so much luckier than most as we only had 10k of damage to our house...nothing at all really! Edited by fattyfatfat 2009-05-31 8:40 PM |

Expert 945 Auburn AL | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! Trevor. Nice job on the race! You are kicking some butt with your times. 26 overall is awesome...would put you pretty solid in the FOP wouldn't it? I had a great OWS at the lake with one of my masters swim partners. He came up to the lake to practice an OWS before our event in 2 weeks. I could really tell that my practice has been paying off. Scott usually is a little faster than I, and he has been hitting swim class religiously. It took him almost half the session to get comfy in the water and start speeding up, and he was zig zagging all over the place. I would look behind, and sometimes he would be on the left, and others he would be on the right...pretty funny. He started getting the hang toward the end, but it was nice to know that some of my practice was making a difference. |
