  1. Finished in just over 6. 6:05 and 6:21. They did great.
  2. Quicker digestion is what I’ve heard and read regarding Maurten. They don’t taste bad or have any taste at all really. The gels are a consistency of unflavored jello. I call them sugar boogers because they look like…well…
  3. Couple buddies are doing 70.3 Eagleman today. Their first 70.3 as they gear up for IM Maryland.
  4. Reggie “REAL DEAL” McNeal?!
  5. Curious. Do you take anything to snack on when you go do these 60 mile rides?
  6. I ran 10 yesterday and it was a slog. It’s too hot and humid unless I get up at 5 and hit the road. Was planning on riding this morning but was up late and I slept in. I’ll hit the bike in the morning and maybe hit the gym. Ive noticed that after races, motivation is lacking. I should have taken a few more days off post race.
  7. I’ve got about 200 ounces of silver left. I’ve sold a lot of it and traded in for gold when it was around $2,900 an ounce. I’ll probably just keep it all now and just hold it. No reason to liquidate.
  8. No need for hotel room. We will RV it. I’ll take a finishers beer though.
  9. You’re already doing it this year with or without me. I’ll pull your ass across the finish line next year when you’re cussing me out.
  10. Free entry? I cashed in my 50% off code from Florida. My son was sitting next to me when I signed up and my wife told me to do a different race than Waco. My son and I started looking at full distance and my son yelled “DAD! Do Chattanooga!” I said next year…my wife said why not this year? Shes given the OK for full distance now. I just don’t think I can realistically get in training for a full this summer with work right now.
  11. Signed up for Waco first weekend of October. I want to get a real sub 6.
  12. If you aren’t having fun with it, might be time. Running half marathons pushing a cart is a good substitute.
  13. GG bud. I also went for a run this morning and was on the struggle bus. It’s hot and humid in NE Texas as well. Congrats again. Go lay down and get some water.
  14. His bike leg was 2:39. That’s flying.
  15. Finished in just over 4:51. Fantastic bike leg of the race. I imagine he will be a tad disappointed in his HM time (2:06). Maybe he gassed himself a bit on the bike but nevertheless, fantastic job @Clintonaldo. You did hard shit today. Congratulations!!!
  16. Clintonaldo started off at 7:20 this morning. He’s about 10 miles in on the bike off on a hot start averaging a bit over 23 mph. Keep it up:
  17. First world problems…tubeless wheels.
  18. What was wrong with your bike?
  19. What gets me are the people out running sprints the day before a race. In their tri suit.
  20. But bro! It makes me look like I know what I’m doing!
  21. I’ll be following and giving updates for you. What time do you head out? 7:30 I’d assume. Also since youre a high bib, I imagine you won’t roll out until about 9?
  22. Do it. Good luck bud.
  23. Great point. Very great point @Basil Shoot for Galveston next year or Waco this year.
  24. I’ve heard NC is a really cool half IM as well as the one up in Boise. Galveston is pretty shitty IMO. I haven’t done it before but the thought of swimming in…that…and the shitty bike course makes me want to pass. Waco is your next closest and it’s OK. Gulf Coast is supposed to be the best course for first timers. It’s really flat, ocean swim. The wild card is the weather. The beaches are amazing in the PCB area. For me, my wife knows I have to be doing something physical. She wanted an RV to road trip in. She’s a runner too so she loves cheering the athletes on. My son digs it too. You don’t have to have a tri bike to do an IM. Tons of people use road bikes. Try out a few shorter distance tris before you dive into the long distance to see if you like it. Glad you’re on the mend @Clintonaldo. I got a 50% off code for another race in 2025. I told my wife I’m doing Waco again and she said I should just shoot my shot at a full. Chattanooga 2026?
