They Who Shall Not be Named! (Page 99)

Uhhhh ... on that note, maybe a Scout break is warranted (I really, really miss him ... but he knows that)

Actually, I gotta go clean my room, or there ain't gonna be anyplace to HAVE dessert, ahem.

Good night, all you sweet thangs!

*insert foursome kiss here*

LOL - yep

you took the words right out of my mouth!

Since we're talking about desert, I will now have my cheese cake and wine. I don't have to get up early and I have the fire to go with it to boot.

I figure i might as well enjoy something sweet while we're on the subject.

Something sweet at home and something sweet on the internet (see i thought of you too.)

"it must have been while you were kissing me!"

Oh Baby...

Oh that sounds good....

"it must have been while you were kissing me!"

Oh Baby... 

Will it be the Merlot or the Cab Sauvignon with cheese cake? There's also a white Zin here as well, to girly but sweet as well. Hmmmmm decisions.....

I dont think I should try and help in the wine selection... Im not a red drinker for starters That and it only takes about two glasses to get me tipsy...

I have a chardonnay as well but I'm not much of a white wine drinker either.

hehe I say go with what you will REALLY enjoy If you are going to be indulgent might as well go the whole way...

Actually, I'll have some tomorrow. i just realized that i still need to do an ab routine before I pass out but I still plan to have that cheese cake afterwards.

Stretching: When you work out and muscles get put under stress one of their reactions is to tigthen... after awhile they dont loosen up as much and stay tight....

This will pull body parts out of alignment and cause injuries.... because other muscles will start to compensate for the tight muscles and it will affect how you move.

Also if muscles are held in a certain position (ie high heels) over time they will tighten to fit the position they are used to...

Stretching keeps the muscles supple and your body in good alignement (among other things) and Im sure someone who understands all this better than me will explain it beter  

This seems a might crazy. But I think I can do it.

First 3k Run: The initial 3k takes place at Rattlesnake Bar Park, the site of the swim venue. The 3k run will start at 7:15am. The course will proceed for .5-mile on the nearly flat main paved park road towards park exit, then fork left at the stop sign Y intersection (bikes turn right to leave park) onto a dirt road that follows the lakeshore, also nearly flat but with curvy. At the far end of the course (.9 mi), you will turn onto the Pony Express Trail and head back towards the finish line. This is a single to double track trail where passing is simple for most of the way. This trail features numerous ups and downs, eventually reaching some 60 feet higher than the starting line near lake level. The footing is good at all times.

With a quarter-mile to go, you will pop out into the large horse staging parking lot, descend to the park road and complete the final .1 mi to the transition area. Take your time and enjoy a good warmup for the next two events. If the winner of the initial 3k fails to finish in the top-10 overall, he will receive a special award of a white dunce cap and a stack of temporary tatoos that say, "poser". Note: This is a two-transition race - you will need two pairs of shoes!

56-Mile Bike Ride: You will follow the World's Toughest Half route from Rattlesnake Bar to T2 at the Auburn Overlook in Auburn. From Rattlesnake Bar at elev. 466', you will top out at elev. 2,200' by mile 31, then losing elevation for the final 25 miles to reach the Overlook at elev. 1,350'. This is an incredibly scenic and challenging course that will test all aspects of your cycling ability. Total climbing is ~6,000'.

13.1 Mile Run: You will proceed on the World's Toughest Half 13.1 mile run course - a scenic and challenging 50/50 trail&pavement mix in the Auburn State Park. Note: loops will be reversed from past years in 2008. Enjoy the tranquility of a course completely closed to auto traffic and affording stunning canyon views at seemingly every turn. There are two tough climbs - the Cardiac Bypass (mile 3 to 4.2) and the epic finish up the notorious Dam Wall (mile 11.6 to 13.1).

The rest of the course consists of sustained gradual paved descent from mile 0-3, dead flat shaded canal trail (mile 4.2 to 6.2) or single track/fire road with mild rolling hills or gradual ascent/descent (mile 6.2 to 11) or steep trail descent (11 to 11.6). About 1.5 miles of the trail can be considered technical, with the rest smooth wide fire road or very old paved road. This spectator-friendly course passes through finish area at mile 6.2. Total climbing is 1,325'.

Hey, twisnibbins... did you know that today is World Usability Day?

Here is a clothed photo of me (middle person)... the three of us gave a presentation on how our products increase usability for our customers 

Tada!

Just got done doing a bunch of squats, deadlifts, leg curls & calf raises and now I'm heading out on a run, LMAO!!!

Definitely doing the run in about 30 minutes though, the other stuff I quit doing long ago!

Have a good night everyone and train well, I'll TRY and catch up tomorrow

Morning everyone!  Well, I've caught up on pages 77-83.  I wasn't going to, but now I have to go back and see what I missed when I was gone, because
#1: Mila appears as a regular on our thread now.  Where did she come from?
#2:  Sounds like there was a serious swim discussion and I'll take all the help I can
get in that area.
#3:  Sounds like I really should read page 69.

I have a busy day planned with a am swim workout, a cookout at my moms, football, and
evening workout that I've blown off for three nights in a row.  Pretty tough to achieve the goals if you don't stay with the plan..... Everyone have a great Saturday!

Relax Dee... I know you.,... youll have hundreds of twinklies in NO TIME AT ALL!

Oh my, it's page 70...

LOL - we will support you in that - just be sure to come back and visit when you're done :-)

Morning Sal!
