Manatee Mentors 2014 v.2 thread2 CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) (Page 36)

Great photos!  Both Tejay and Jens, how cool is that?!

All kinds of awesome!!!!!! How has the race been?

Holy awesomeness!!!

Originally posted by rrrunner We were able to hear both TeeJay and Jens' interviews which was cool. I told Jens my shut up legs shirt is on its way from Germany and he told me be patient it has to go through customs . I asked if he'd come back to the US and he said he hoped so. Sounds like he wants to stay involved with the Trek Racing team. Oh and we gathered up discarded bottles too

Cool pictures and it sounds like you're having tons of fun.  Hope you're staying dry.  It's so cool that you got to talk with Jens!! 

Last year, I really wanted a Jelly Belly bottle and a Cannondale t-shirt autographed by Ted King.  DH was only able to score me a chocolate milk and a shirt signed by Peter Sagan.  (Sigh.)   I'm really bummed that I'm going to miss it this year.  The year George Hincapie retired was so cool because on the last day, you could tell where he was on the route by the cheering. 

It's really too bad that the Pro Challenge conflicts with the Vuelta; that really limits the big teams' participation.  On the plus side, it gives the smaller teams a chance to ride with the "big boys" and get some broader exposure.

That looks so lovely and peaceful.  How did you not just swim out to the boat and climb aboard to sail away for a day or two?

A measly 3 weeks later....a race report.   Warning--it's kinda long.  But then, so was the race

Beautiful!

Hm.  I see your point.  So sorry you had to settle for just running past it. 

There is an Antarctic current going right at this area, so yeah, it's gonna be cold. 

Oh Marrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy...

That looks like fun!!  It fits right in with my training schedule too (such as it is at the moment).  Are you gonna do it or are you just prompting me?

Shows you how much I know about geography/oceanography.

That is so very lovely, thanks for sharing!

anyone else not getting email update notifications?

I'm getting them...

huh, wonder why BT no longer likes me?!

Looks like DS2 and I are gonna do it. Waiting to hear from DS1 and SIL. DH says no, too big a crowd. DS2 and I are joking about what name to put on our bib. He said Obi wan Kenobi, I said Ihenacho.

Cool!!  I'll see if DH wants to do it too.  He might not - he hasn't been running much these days.  Maybe we can arrange for the DH's to meet us at the finish with chocolate milk.  In line with your Donut Dash, we could go to Lucile's and have beignets.  Or Voodoo Donuts, although I'm not all that keen on waiting for 45 min. just to get in the door.
