  1. That’s pretty much it. Get your mind right and get a good brick in tomorrow.
  2. Thinking about it. I need to clear my head. My buddy who did Kona said 6 weeks might not be enough rest in between and I haven’t swam in ocean
  3. They did that at Oceanside because they never should have attempted the swim. Ironman is a business and you know it’s a risk when you sign up. My buddy at the airport said he saw a good crowd trying to get flights out. I am too cheap to walk away from shit like that b
  4. I need to get over it. They didn't have a choice as the tributaries that feed into the Tennessee were already stressed and some of the rain stayed longer the past few days. It rained 4 inches last night at my house and will rain for awhile today. I am sure I will be disappointed until race morning. Panama City has a full first of November but I really don't know if I want to spend another $,1000 on entry fees. I really wish Ironman would offer us a small discount but they won't. I am going to see how I feel after Sunday and make a decision.
  5. The swim is canceled. I don’t even want to do this shit now.
  6. I’m sure you will get a little emotional as you have put in the work also. My first words after my first 70.3 was that there was nothing half about a half Ironman.
  7. I appreciate it. I am ready for that cold beer to hit my lips Sunday. I am curious if I will be emotional.
  8. Feeling good and I won't be able to ask for better weather. It is raining a ton here and they are spilling a ton of water over the dam right now to make room for all of the rain. I still don't expect the swim to be as fast as last year where they were dumping out 40,000 a second. It will probably be closer to 20,000 which will still be decent. The 70.3 was 13,000 so I can still have a sub hour swim. I go to check in at 1 and then I will swim a little at the Y.
  9. He didn’t have Parkinson’s when he was lying. Lock his ass up.
  10. This time next week I will be in my lane, moisturized and thriving. I’m kind of getting emotional about it.
  11. Buddy, you should see my sister.
  12. coach was really matured the last 4 years. There was a time he would have tried to score 70 but what you said is exactly how it went. We played boring ass football and it probably gave Jeremy Pruitt a hard on.
  13. Big win for Josh. Took a freshman on the road with a boring ass strategy and won a defensive battle. I love my coach.
  14. Thanks Big Dog. How is your health ?
  15. Full. My last half was in my with a 5:29 finish. I could finish a half sub 5 right now.
  16. You have to give me credit. I didn’t miss a home game for 15 years until Butch’s last year. I would be in Norman right now but I have an Ironman next Sunday. I still want to party with you one day.
  17. As the only Vol fan on here let me say I come in peace and deserve support. Fuck Choklahoma
  18. I uses to be strictly Nike and then starting switching up some. The Saucony Kinvara Pro’s were carbon plated and they hurt my feet and I thought I broke my foot and then after 100 miles they felt great. I’ve had luck with the New Balance Rebel v4 and they aren’t carbon plated but have enough bounce for me and are super light. I’m a guy that races in what I train in. I don’t overthink it with different shoes however I will when I try and qualify for Boston next year.
  19. For a 70.3 I would only do a week taper. Make sure you get your bike serviced and sealant in tires refilled.
  20. Guy sounds like an animal. What is his name ?
  21. 2 weekends away. I ran 20 on Wednesday and have swam a bunch this week plus 2 spin classes. I am up to 30 miles of running so far. I wanted to do one last big brick tomorrow but it might be raining. If I can ride I will ride 60 and run 10. If it rains I will run 20 again. Water temp here is 77 so it will be wetsuit legal as they always find somewhere to measure to get it to 76 and we have some chilly mornings coming up. I’m just ready to get it over with. It’s been fun but I am anxious. It’s going to be hard to taper for 2 weeks so I might just do a week taper. You really didn’t lose anything much with your injury. My best advice is to bike bike and more bike.
  22. It was a phase I was going through.
  23. He and I were probably a lot alike minus me being younger ( 43). I thought Trump was a little funny during campaign and I thought it would end and he would be serious when he won election. I was a little concerned when he made fun of McCain and nothing happened but figured surely he would stop. When everyone with a brain started leaving his staff I became really concerned and then the George Floyd stuff was my final straw.
  24. Living in Tennessee I’ve obviously been living in Trump country. Last election people gave me shit for voting for Biden but this time is different. I’ve been shocked in the last few days how many of the people I would assume would vote Trump have told me fuck no. I was talking to a good friend and she said her husband isn’t voting for Trump. I said I was kind of shocked since he owns a business and she replied that he also has a wife and a daughter. I thought that was an incredibly powerful response from her. Trump was bad enough but the cringe of Vance has really done it. This group has always gotten along and it’s been me and one other person that has went to the left the last 6 years against the other 8. We would always light heartedly give each other shit but we always knew to just not really talk about and have fun. Here lately, it’s almost like they are making a point to let me know what they are doing vote wise. Kind of cool to see honestly. It probably helps these are educated people.
  25. Literally said the same thing
