What is your favorite genre of music? And why (this is the part that matters to the psychoanalysts in the group)? None of this "I like all music" stuff either. Narrow it down. For those that check my logs, there is some different stuff in there every now and again when I post a song, but for the most part, I am a Country Music fan. While I may have a white collar job, I relate to the blue collar work ethic. I find this is most reflected in my music choices. I have been known to fish, drink, play guitar, and enjoy the occasional Friday night good time. I also nearly lost my wife, dog, house, truck and I have missed a train in the rain, so I am the living embodiment of country music. Or not Love the reference to my post a while back about losing my wife, house, truck, and missing my train in Canada... (or was that not a reference?) Also, thank you for sharing that HOT, HOT, HOT video..... Damn there are a lot of chicks in that video.. Now to answer your question... My mood strongly influences what I listen to on a daily basis, and I go through different stages (Country, Rock, Rap, etc.) on a quarterly basis. Overall, in order, my favorite genre's are (reasons in parenthesis)
Have fun with that psychoanalysts! As a footnote - it's a very, very, very close call between #'s 3,4, and 5.. I really do listen to all these, all the time.. I enjoy almost all music. I'm just as comfortable at a country concert as I am at a rap concert.. Ummmm Chris??? Did my list get skipped in all the side talk? I spent a lot of time on it, making sure to not gloss over or avoid answering the question directly....
Now I'm feeling sad no one noticed
You are too funny. I hoped the country music song reference wouldn't hit you too hard, but with your sense of humor, I wasn't too concerned. And, I figured you'd like the Parmalee song. I actually have a Pandora station named Digital Underground. If you can fit the lyric "I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom" into a song, well, that is just too funny. They were all kinds of fun! And I have to agree with you, mood is important. Music can enhance it or change it. |

Master 6834 Englewood, Florida | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors, Part 2! CLOSED Richardsdrr - 2013-03-05 7:41 PM I guess my most favourite genre would be bluegrass, but am pretty much open to everything bar jazz. Just can't handle it, it grates me. My most recent purchases on I tunes are Vide cor meum by Dante Alighieri and Patrick Cassidy (it's off the soundtrack to Hannibal) and an album called Go by a guy called Jonsi. He's a singer from Iceland who is better known for being lead singer in the group Sigur Ros. Mesmerising singer, can not recommend him enough, it's what I listen to when out running. So, as you can see my music choice is quite wide, like most people. I guess even if you say that you have a fave' genre, it's not really true because of the amount of variety within all genres means that we are gonna like/dislike music within that genre. I guess that is why people struggle to pin down one type that is their favourite, well I do anyway  . Now, If you asked me my favourite song I could answer in a split second, or more appropriately 2 seconds by Laura Cantell. So, what's everyone's fave song?Currently on the playlist for me, Steve Martin. Yep, that Steve Martin, banjo player. Fave song right now, which changes on a daily basis, is probably Mumford & Sons, "I Will Wait". Or the Parmalee song, "Musta Had a Good Time", it is outright fun.

I'm liking Trishka at the moment, I like the more mellowed use of the banjo, same as the Krueger brothers stuff. Mumford and sons are good, still haven't got their new album. I liked the Avett brothers also, they kinda remind me of them. I couldn't get the you tube link you put up to work, so will have to look Parmalee up tomorrow.Richardsdrr - 2013-03-05 7:41 PM I guess my most favourite genre would be bluegrass, but am pretty much open to everything bar jazz.

I caught a really nice trout! Here I am swimming toward the Maori cliff carvings on the lake. They are breathtaking. Oh nice! Very nice... I'm a weee bit jealous... Your rainy Narrows Bridge footage is close I was secretly hoping you would love that video so much you would want to come down here and run with me during the next rain storm.. I'll trade you a running session for a swim session Oh yeah, I love running the Narrows! I have only done it a few times which is crazy considering I have lived here all my life. My family lives over there so I will let you know when I am coming through again. This Muskrat is very excited! |

And I like Pink ( but none of her other " no likes"). Does that help you figure me out?amd723 - 2013-03-05 8:07 PM cdban66 - 2013-03-05 4:38 PM So, I've never been a big music person; I like it, listen while in the car ( usually), but I don't listen at home, don't run to it and haven't been to a concert in a really long time. That said, I like all types of music, but if I had to pick a genre - and Chris says I do- it is rock. Old school U2 is my favorite. Analyze away.OK, I warned you there would be more questions. This one is easy. What is your favorite genre of music? And why (this is the part that matters to the psychoanalysts in the group)? None of this "I like all music" stuff either. Narrow it down. For those that check my logs, there is some different stuff in there every now and again when I post a song, but for the most part, I am a Country Music fan. While I may have a white collar job, I relate to the blue collar work ethic. I find this is most reflected in my music choices. I have been known to fish, drink, play guitar, and enjoy the occasional Friday night good time. I also nearly lost my wife, dog, house, truck and I have missed a train in the rain, so I am the living embodiment of country music. Or not OK, so you and Jo are in firmly in the Rock genre. Hmmmmm, I expected that from Jo, but you threw me for a loop there. Not sure what I expected, but it wasn't that. I like Ann-marie - what does that say... You've got good taste |

If I run on my own I don't even think about water until I hit 10 miles then I plan my route around places I know have water fountains. I only start to add fuel if I'm going to be over 2 hours. The water issue might change if I ran later then I do, but I'm out early, rarely am I still running after 7:30 am.I did try one of these belts when I was playing around with using Infinit while marathon training. During one of my runs, around the 17 mile mark, I caught a toe on a sidewalk I was turning on to, tripped and fell on my side landing right on one of the bottles. I broke a rib. So, I guess my advice is dont do that if you go the fuel belt route!Muskrat37 - 2013-03-04 8:08 PM jmkizer - 2013-03-04 4:00 PM Muskrat37 - 2013-03-04 6:53 PM I love my waist pack...I can never understand how you folks run holding that bottle the whole time.. Then give Mel a specific recommendation so that she can compare! Here is the belt I use and love... usually run with 2 bottles, but on real long runs (including races) I run with 4 bottles. Usually do 1/2 with water, 1/2 with Gatorade..I also love the pouch. I always run with my Drivers License, a Credit Card, and my phone in that pouch. I can put my house key and a car key in their as well. I carry my food in my hand (usually 1 power bar as I hate gels)
I also currently use the Amphipod belt, although mine is a 2 bottle. I used a Fuel Belt previouslyand it did not hold up to the sweat/weather that I put it through. I did have the Fuel Belt pouch on the Amphipod, although the pouch zipper just crapped out this weekend. Amphipod has a cool little netlike pouch built in, for key carrying. The bottle holders are removable, which is nice as I mostly only use one bottle. I'll wear it for anything over 4 miles. I also carry a bottle on shorter runs, just an old Fuel Belt bottle in my hand, no straps and whatnot. The humidity being what it is in Fl, I can be sucking down small amounts of water after 1/2 of a mile. Amphpod also makes a few accesories for the belts, most notably a gel dispensor and a gel "SnapPod". I don't have either, but the SnapPod would be a possibility if I were using a variety of gels, chomps and chews. Another feature you might want is a bib holder. Since I race trails with my belt, I had to come up with a seperate way to attach my number. This is not a big deal, but it is a feature you might want. My sister used to use a Nathan belt, but gave it up for a handheld, due to comfort. As to comfort, if going the belt route, I would look for a belt that gives the ability to move the bottles around on it. I like them on the hip, but the small of my back works well for a single bottle as well. I'm with Janyne on this, if possible, test as many as you can afford to test. The flip side is that I think triathletes have a tendency to overthink stuff, so if you find one you think may work and it has the features (I think this is the biggest selling point) you want, give it time so that you adjust to it. Or, get an old water bottle and run a few times while holding that (it was what I did when I started). At least you'll get an idea. www.amphipod.com www.nathansports.com www.fuelbelt.com Great write up Chris... I did not know about the gel snap pod...nor the bib holder for these belts. I will have to look into both of those. One of the other benefits of running with these belts is that during races, I don't have to stop or slow down at the aid stations. Not sure if that is a big deal to others, but since I get a bit competitive in my races, it's huge. At my last 15K race, I was passed by a guy at about mile 4, and at the 10K mark I blew by him when he had to stop to drink... He never caught me again. I personally run with my belt on every single run, even the 3 or 4 mile runs. I always carry at least 2 bottles of water. I figure I am training myself to run with the added weight / feeling of that belt. It is also nice to have the water when I finish the run and am walking it off... Ann-Marie - that sucks about falling on that bottle. I can understand why you don't want to wear a belt now! Lots and lots of options and even within the Manatees, very varied answers. And LOL Chad, nice modeling photos. First I would like to state that more important than what you do during your workouts or race is what you do on a regular basis in the days prior. This means eating and hydrating BEFORE your workout/race. I never carry water unless I am running on the trails where there is none. For my long runs I plan my routes so that there are a few options if I get thirsty. I'm lucky to be an urban runner and there are tons of drinking fountains and convenience stores. This is less important in the winter.
One thing I would like to note. Carrying water on a course is a personal choice and definitely do what you are comfortable with but it is not a competitive advantage. If you don't believe that, I direct you to look at any/all of the elite marathon runners. It is against the level of racers I am competing with.. LOL You "elite" types may not slow down for aid stations, but the guys I'm "racing" slow down, walk, and even come to a complete stop to drink at aid stations. Some of them take out their wallets to buy gel packs, some tie their shoes, some tuck in their shirts and then they are off again...(ok, maybe I exaggerated this last sentence, but the first sentence is true) LOL Actually, I don't think walking through aid stations is a bad idea. Higdon is a proponent of it. It's easier to get the fluids you want and get them down that way. I'm thinking of races longer than a 10k, of course. Tom, I think you missed the humor in my statement above...but on a serious note, Walking through aid stations is not a bad idea if you are just trying to finish...but my goal in each race is to set a PR.. I try to push it the first 1/2 and negative split the 2nd 1/2 of any race I do. I have done this successfully for my first 1/2 marathon and my first 15k (9.3 miles) race. I find that trying to run through the aid stations, grabbing a 4 oz cup, that I inevitably spill 1/2 the fluid out of, and throw it away is a lot more difficult than just taking a sip of water or gatorade from the bottles I have on me. I get to keep my pace, I get to drink when I want or need to drink, and I am not limited to waiting for the next aid station - which might be a mile or more away. I pass a lot of people that are stopped at the aid stations - so for me, at my level (1:36:ish 1/2 marathon), it seems to be an advantage.
Not to mention, I am trying to crush the soul of every other Male between the ages of 40-44 that had the courage to step on the course with me that day.
Wow, this is a massive, massive quote block. So, I was listening to the first off the bike podcast tonight, and PETE JACOBS SAID HE WALKS AID STATIONS (or at least he did at Kona last year). I was like, I gotta share this one. |

Elite 4435 | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors, Part 2! CLOSED Macca said Pete Jacobs is also a 'lazy' triathlete - said tongue in cheek they are good friends. PJ only trains about 12 hours a week for IM. That is not much. His idea last year wa he only had to increase his speed by 1% to take out the title. And that's what he did. He also does an insane amount of racing - compared to the old school crew like Macca who would do maybe 2 a year. And he walks the aid stations, my hero. |

It's funny for Macca to say that. I seem to remember him scolding people for overtraining in his book. Q for you all. Should Macca race Kona again? Poll time! |
