So the liquor in your name isn't by accident...hahaAwesome! If we go, we'll have a team of approximately 10 that he can certainly join. Our goal will be to maintain a pace that allows us maximum time toduring the ride, and at the end of each day. We are thinking a rolling pace of 15 mph, while consuming beverages from the start to the end of each leg.
You're not around here much are you benson?
Run a 19:22 just to drive gruecd crazy.
I also run 2-3 miles before a 5K, which includes some accelerations. Last year a small running group from my university was doing a downtown Chicago 5K, and a number of the group were challenged just to run the full 5K. It freaked them out when I disappeared for a couple mile warm-up!
I took a 1.5 year rest from this thread. I'll be a regular, don't worry.
Other than sorrority girls, who the hell does Jell-O shots??
Drunk, bald middle aged guys at the end of long evening. There was a tray of them within arms reach and I didn't want to get up to get another drink. I felt like #### on Sunday. Giving you more to poke fun at, it was someone's 50th birthday party.Other than sorrority girls, who the hell does Jell-O shots??
Why wouldn't you do Jell-O shots?? Pure yummy. Grue: Hopefully we get to see a real 5k time from you. I'm guessing we will, but with your 20 on the docket you certainly have a built in excuse. Though it wouldn't be FBG-like.Other than sorrority girls, who the hell does Jell-O shots??

I must be going to the wrong yoga studio, because none of the chicks in my classes look like that!
Glad I didn't open this up at work
My linkReally nice workouts 2Y! Awesome to have a fast swim. I'm dreading my first few swim workouts of the year, which will likely be next month. I've done some kayaking, but not enough to assist with actual advice. I can tell you that with just a little practice you will be able to move pretty easily in it, especially in a Lake kayak. DO IT!

For those that haven't done yoga before,
What a coincidence! Many of the girls I ogle [My last two girlfriends have been in sororitiesOther than sorrority girls, who the hell does Jell-O shots??
] are in sororities. Small world!
I've done two of these. Unfortunately the kayak is all about technology. At one event I was digging on every stroke absolutely busting it and some 50 yo female passed me like I was standing still. It looked like she was waiving a wand. If you want to win, I'd look to borrow or rent a higher end kayak. It's like the bike on steriods where you get to the point that double the effort nets like 5%-10% more speed. Certain kayaks are only going to plane so well. ****'s has sea kayaks, some people will show up with cigar kayaks that will likely go 2x faster at the same effort.You'll be able to pick it up with one outing. With your swimming background your arms/back are in shape for this.
I think the race company doing the event is offering rentals. I'll try and figure out the type they are renting for the event. While this might have to be another fun event, it'd #### me off to have the best bike and run splits in the AG and get smoked on the kayak split. Thanks!
Really sorry to hear that Workhorse. If you get this setup, please PM me.
Don't we all? But now you know that if you stay at the 5.09 gear ratio, you will be traveling at 35.9 MPH at 90 RPM's, and 39.8 MPH at 100 RPM's.
Hi Workhorse. So sorry to hear about your Mom. T&P's to you and your family. I'm pretty sure many in here will help you raise $$ to run. What a great cause, and motivator. I got back into running after a few years of slacking once my Mom died (1994). I still try to race for her memory,and raise money whenever I can for the American Heart Society. Losing your Mom sucks. Wishing you and your family some peace.
:( Sorry to hear the news.Hope you and your family the best moving forward
My condolences, Workhorse. Let me look into the charity thing for you. I know Dana-Farber is a big one.ETA: Here's a list of the 2012 Boston Marathon Charities. Probably gonna be a while before the 2013 list is released.
in and not have to worry about it on Sunday.Sorry to hear'Workhorse said:
So this didnt work so swell for me. I started off strong and did my first mile in 6:50 but then I crashed after that. I might have been able to push a bit harder in my last half mile then I did but I finished 3.1 in 23:40. I guess I just prefer to run my first mile slow and get my legs under me
Just curious if you did any kind of warm up before hand. Sounds like if you did a couple of slow miles or a few strides before hand your legs would warm up and feel better for the start. Just my .02.-----------------Got out and did my 11 miles for today. I am feeling pretty good about things. The first half of what I ran today was all hills (800 - 900 ft elevation) and after that my legs still feel really good and I was cruising between 7:40 and 8:30 per mile depending on the terrain. I cross a few bridges during the latter half which seem to slow me down a bit, butoverall, I am happy with it.
I did not. Not a bad idea. Maybe Ill try it again next week. I did one slow lap around the track to calibrate my foot pod
good luck tomorrow!
Thanks...annoyed at the planners of this thing.Packet pickup does not start til 3pm...so I have to drag both kids down there to pick it up and then deal with people leaving downtown on a Friday afternoon.Would have been much easier to do about noon...no traffic and only one child to take with (my 2nd grader is out of school today).
That's about as perfect as you can get in terms of temps. Good luck!
I guess.I prefer about 50ish to 55. Perfect short sleeve or tank weather for the race IMO.If its closer to 38-40 to start its a bit cool to me...but by the end too hot to want long sleeves the whole time.Its right in that in beteween range for me.My first half was perfect.About 45-50 when we were lining up at the start. Had an old jacket on to toss at the start and went with sleeveless shirt.Though, warmed up more than I wanted closer to 60.55 is that prime spot for me that I love. This one might get to that by the finish.
Go get'em!!! I have added trying not to puke to my goals for Sunday's 5K as it looks like we'll be out late the night before and lose an hour in the morning. Things may be near 60 which should make the
& 
all the better.
That's excellent!!! What a well-controlled race.

Geez...unless you have the super duper military gps, you may have run the same pace for most of the race. That's amazing. Congrats on the pr and a very solid time.1:54:17 official chip time.So only a second difference between it and my Garmin.One interesting thing...its an out and back course...as the faster runners are coming back towards me, there is a little boy (though, I think several of us thought it was a girl...very long hair but looking at the times no way it was a 13 year old girl...) 9 year old. Guy behind me says "that's discouraging". We all had a laugh...Passed the kid at about mile 11. Sad that in my head I give myself a fist pump for that. But I did give the kid 5 and tell him he was awesome...(just not as awesome as me...give him 28 more years on his body and see how he does
