I have a BBB floor pump and it sucks big time - don't get one of them. It is so bad that I have started using CO2 cartridges instead.

Oh hey! Posted a GO MANATEES earlier and just raced myself! OK, "race" is kind of a loose word with me it was fun and I didn't push myself. Trust me, today was not the right time to! Just a very nice splash back into training.

GO MR MATT!!!!!

^^^^Hahaha

Cuties!

Near the end of the run this morning I heard a dad telling his young boy, "You're doing great! We're almost at the stadium. You know mom is so jealous we're only doing 4.2mi. She's doing 26.2 tomorrow." I told them she most definitely was

Ha! Didn't rack my bike until after 5:30. Over two hours in line. My ears and shoulders got fried!

Great meeting you guys, as well. See you after the race tomorrow.

Good luck to all the racing pod mates!

Happy to see all the posts, super Manatees and spawn

Deepest thanks to all the Manatees who keep checking on me. Kingsley and I are at a sponsored race (and we're getting a two-weeks' vacation out of it too) so we have to keep game face on. I genuinely love this race and all the people around/in it, so that's all good, it's just really difficult right now.

Quick and very private post. I don't have words for what's going on. http://mobile.news.com.au/world/families-of-andrew-chan-and-myuran-sukumaran-visit-indonesia-for-final-farewells/story-fndir2ev-1227321290609

I'm in daily touch with many of these people and personally made arrangements for some of them to get there from far places very quickly.

It's shattering to merely be a support. I can only imagine very dimly how they must feel.

Thanks! (Proof of life post lol)

Wasn't able to run like I had hoped (crashed and burned halfway through), but overall I'm very pleased with the effort.

Silly Matt.  If you'd worn sleeves, you wouldn't have gotten so toasted while in line to rack your bike yesterday.    The three of you sure make for a mighty fine picture. Way to represent!

My 5k today was cold and rainy but I'm really happy with how I did.  Even doing 3 min. run/2 min. walk, I was almost as fast as my 1st all-running 5k last year.  RR is up.

Great day yesterday! This is still one of my favorite races. I managed to squeeze in a PR with a 5:50 finish about 7 minutes faster than last year and I'm pleased with that considering I was in ironman shape last year when I set that.

Congrats to Matt on a great race and huge congrats to Sean for a blazing fast time on his first attempt at 70.3 distance. The run course got pretty hot as it usually does and we battled a rainstorm on the bike. Gotta love Galveston weather.

Trek recall. I think this only affects bikes with a front disc brake.

The wedding went well.  The weather was great, and everything went very smoothly  I probably took more pictures Saturday than I have all my life until that point. This one is probably my favorite of them.  I'll gladly accept the title "Mr. Matt".

Find a mentor. Make a list of at least three people that you could approach for help, list your specific needs and then be courageous enough to begin asking.
