Yanti & Salty RidiculoSnarky Almost Intelligent-Charming Manatees PART 4 - Full (Page 85)

OK question here for the POD.  I have finally saved enough for an entry level tri bike as long as I can get a deal (I refuse to pay retail), all the races I do/want to do are pancake flat and my roadie will be good for group rides for a few more years at least, so my question is where do I go to get an accurate fitting to see which one will fit me best?  The fitting I did for my roadie was ok but was more of a fit the bike to the rider fitter if that makes sense.  SC doesn't have anyone that is FIST certified that I can tell and asking in the SC forum has not generated alot of responses.  I'm talking to a co-worker who does part time at the local trek shop but they definitely push the treks, I like treks and I would like a SC but want to make sure it is the right bike for me.  Thoughts? Advice?

Also Football season started last night and my Gamecocks are 1-0 woot!woot!

I did it. After much thought and discussion, the pros FAR outweigh the cons. I just submitted my application.

Who knows, they might not even consider me, but I have to take this chance...if it happens, I will be in a better place--I don't necessarily mean geographically (I do love sunny Cali), but financially, and mentally. My husband believes it is the right direction, and even my mom does! I was sure I would get the total guilt from her, but she, without even hearing the whole breakdown, said "so you're gonna apply, right?".  I am blessed to have a great family like this. The best part for me--I would be in close proximity to my sister again--admittedly, it may cause the apocalypse, but it would be AWESOME!

Kate- Great decision, I've been putting in for stuff as well to see what is out there and see what my options are.  And with school, I'm a big advocate that the greatest investment for earnings you can make is in education but you can always do online or find a school where your credits will transfer if you can better your current situation.  Best of luck to you I hope you get it.  Submit the video from the morning news and you'll be a sure thing.

Salty- Think of it as masters swimming at the very least you have people there to push you.  Also you do have some very well defined goals at this point for 2016

Oh I hope i've not missed the cutover to the new thread!

 that's a good start!  Little one still very sick and she's so skinny anyway this is leaving her very weak - no energy coz she can't eat.  Poor darling.  I feel bad I can't be there but DH is off work with her.  Unfortunately I have to work Saturday - it's only twice a year and it's this week.  Dammit.

Oh well - I owe him big time.

Great squad last night - see log for details.  Was going to get up and go to the 5.15am squad but really couldn't be bothered.  Running 10km tonight if she will let me go out. may have to wait for her to go to bed.

For the record, 40mg dextromethorphan + 3 fun-size Milky Way = 30mg codeine in terms of pain relief.

lol...I'm not sure that's a pharmacist approved conversion, but I am entertained.

I ran three times this week.  My legs are super sore!  Get to take a few days off, though.  I got a new tattoo yesterday and it needs to heal some before I start running so I don't sweat all of the ink out.

It's a luna moth for baby E.  Her middle name is Artemis (another one in the group!), so it seemed appropriate.  It's on the front of my shoulder just under my collar bone.  I love it!
