Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) (Page 86)

Did another run tonight and felt good.  I alternated walking and jogging.  I was taking it easy, but apparently my running segments were 7 min/mi pace (I promise I was taking it easy).  I'll be running every day this week to get in some kind of fitness for the weekend.

I'm still nursing a cold, but I have (another?) week to drop it.  

I'm really pumped for the first race of the season!  Can't wait!  Looking forward to seeing how I baseline for the rest of the season.

It's a cheeky pic to cheer you up.

Here is my mate Macca at about 70 miles about to pass this guy ...

i cannot wait only a week and a half until I get me some Macca time in cairns!

Soooooo behind! 

Way to go racers! 

Chris, sorry for the loss of your congregation member, I am sure he will be missed.

Yanti, sorry your friend is being a weenie.  Sounds like he is all wrapped up in his own stuff and can't see outside himself right now.  I am sure in time he will figure it out and make his amends.

I know I missed some stuff....Oh, yeah, good job on getting your Jogo on, and Joanne, I love how you are calling people out!

I am very proud of my Jogo today.  I was planning on riding the 25miles to the agility trial site this AM.  But of course, this being the Wet Coast, I wanted to bail.  But, I sucked it up.  I got soaked and absolutely FILTHY.  And to top it off, I got a flat.  Yup, you guessed it, rear tire.  Sigh.  I was slow, but got it changed ok (why is it that you can struggle and struggle and struggle to get the last bit of bead over the rim and then all of a sudden it just goes with seemingly no effort??). 

In case anyone was wondering, WA state has a great network of paved bike trails. 

Sooooo, Salty, didja get that spare tube yet??

Can someone explain to me why their midsections are exposed?  I don't get the short shirts...

My short race report on my run this weekend. Just a warning: I wore pink. Yes. I am that girl.

Suicide Hill 10k Trail Run

The alias for this race is "The Run for the Chip." That's cow chip, for any of you wondering. And yes. I have a picture of that, too.

Belly button piercings to show off? Wait...they're not 17 y/o girls. 

Got my jogo in with an hour ride this evening. Still loving my saddle!

Had to stop on my last loop to grab this pic...

For some, it's difficult to get a shirt that fits both around and in length. Pros, however, can get their stuff custom fit. Jesse Thomas wrote up on this on one of his blog entries. So, it's more likely that it's for better venting for heat. Some guys will pull the shirt way up at times when it's really hot out.

Pull 'em way up, and if it's a zip, zip it way down (there are triathlons, quite a few in fact, that now have zip-to-the-nips rules, can't unzip 'em lower than that), stuff ice in it, etc.

Personally, I'm all for less clothing in tri. I like Faris. I can't even explain why. But do I need to?

Jogo time done this morning. Run/walk with Ann and Sam.

Good job racing this weekend everyone!!!!

So we can see their abs?  

I do. It's rough sometimes.  It's ok to take some time off from caring and let yourself decompress and get through this.

Uh, well it also makes it easier to use the facilities if you need to during the race.

Me jogo too today! I'm really trying to put it--to put me--first for that precious half-hour so that it starts the day off right.

Heck, usually everything's turned to shyte and I'm deep into the fuggets by noon ... if it takes as long as 1pm, it's a great day

Salty. We need this for the Yanti Salty Coconut Contact Aquatri.

Yes, of course the cute dog and for me the smokin' piglet, but also the aquabike. For the bike portion. Paddle boats are fine too but I've fallen in love with this. Oh, and with the contraption, too.

Some of you may recognize the piglet ...
