Veteran  2842     Austin, Texas |  Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?)Originally posted by jmkizer Racing Manatees! A listing of Manatee Races, Rides and Runs and other events WOOT WOOT!!! I feel like Steve Martin in The Jerk, but instead of the phone book, I'm yelling, "Tri season is here! Tri season is here!" Race well, my pod-mates. Get well my under-the-water... errr... under-the-weather pod-mates. Many happy returns (and age-ups) to Jetson and Salty. **For me** - running in the wind > biking in the wind > swimming (OWS) in the wind. At least if it's a very heavy wind... That said, I like running best with a light breeze and biking/swimming with none (unless there's a Strava segment on the route - then I like me a HONKIN' tailwind - or if I'm body surfing!). Matt |

Veteran 2842 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?) Originally posted by Asalzwed My team did a tour of the Brooks Running Headquarters today. I've been in there a lot as a lab rat but it was really cool to check it out from a sustainability standpoint. We checked out all of the water and energy systems. It uses a hydronic heating and cooling system. It's not only LEED Platinum certified but also part of the living building challenge. It's got this art installation in the lobby that is a series of metal flowers. When the energy systems are running efficiently and less is consumed, the flowers open up. If they are using a particularly high load, the flowers "wilt." A very cool, interactive piece. Very cool, indeed! That sounds awesome - would love to see that! |

Master 10208 Northern IL | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?) Originally posted by Asalzwed Originally posted by popsracer Does anyone else hate running in the wind? I don't mind rain, dark, snow, cold but oh how I hate running in the wind. Weather forecast for start time of my race tomorrow is wind of 23 mph, ugghh. Fortunately it will be primarily a crosswind (I hope). I hate wind!!! I also learned yesterday that tomatos are fruit not vegetables. It kind of rocked my world. All this time I thought I was at least getting some vegetables via ketchup. I now feel so unhealthy. I would much prefer running in the wind than biking in the wind! It's a good time to think about working with your competitors if it's a headwind. Yeah, running in the wind is notable less difficult, but not necessarily easy. A light breeze is nice, but this is certainly more than that! have had some where a few of us had trouble running with the side wind as we'd end up tripping some. |

A light breeze is nice, but this is certainly more than that! have had some where a few of us had trouble running with the side wind as we'd end up tripping some. For sure. My coach gave us the exact numbers (he's a MIT guy) in terms of an equation. Obviously the faster you are running, the higher resistance. We did this interesting drill called dog and flea or something. A faster guy/gal would take off and then a chase pack would follow. The pack would rotate leaders, working together to close the gap. It was really eye opening. Edited by Asalzwed 2015-03-27 3:00 PM |

Keep what you're wearing tight when it's against you. Loosen up and use the sail when it's behind you. |

| Master 10208 Northern IL | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?) Originally posted by Asalzwed Yeah, that's interesting how you could feel it there. In a stiff wind for sure, but in calm conditions too.

Royal(PITA) 14270 West Chester, Ohio | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?) This Manatee skipped out on the race. The exhaustion of my commuting days and my cramped up quads kept me fast asleep this morning. I still have to un 10-12 miles today though. |

| 812 Katy, Texas | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?) Checking in. Race went very well. I think I left some time on the bike course and maybe the run but overall I can't complain. Finished 12th overall and 4th in my age group. Was hoping for top 10 & top 3 but oh well. It was fun when it was over but I definitely thought to myself halfway through the run, "why am I doing this to myself?" Lol |

Member 836 North Augusta, South Carolina | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?) Survived this morning's very cold T1. Ended up wearing a windbreaker, full gloves, and full shoe covers and was actually pretty comfortable. Lots of headwind on the bike (the entire uphill section was into the wind), but am pleased overall. Best tri run I've had to date. Left considerable time in transition, but finished 3rd AG (30 sec behind 2nd and 2:30 behind 1st). |

| Seattle | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2015.2 CLOSED (Poptarts? Pet pics?) I left not an ounce on the course. Actually, I was running on fumes. My personal goal was to taken down the course record. I and 2 other woman all did. I'm super happy with my performance. I think maybe if I'm feeling better I have another minute to shave off but there are plenty of races. I ended up 9th overall and 3rd woman I believe. I think 1 in AG. I was only a little under 2 minutes back from my teammate who's a 1:16 half marathonner. So, definitely able to close the gap a little in the woods. My number one accomplishment was not falling down the stairs. Yes, there were a few sets of steep mossy wood steps on course. Gotta love trail running! Edited by Asalzwed 2015-03-28 5:05 PM |

Did you learn a bit more about pacing from it? Oh, and if you didn't feel like that on the run, then it wasn't a race. Matt |
