Fucking hell dude. Slamming 20 miles on a Wednesday morning. Were you a zombie the rest of the day? lol

Bike went REALLY well. Had to stop a few times to get more bottles, pee, etc. I think I need more calories on the bike.
Run started off great. Problem is the heat. I got back to the house at 10 AM after 5.5 miles and it was so fucking hot. Went inside and filled up my bottle and it said 95 with a heat index of 112. I made it 7 miles. I guess I need to start earlier.

Got to condo in Kihei last night. Morning on the beach does not suck.
Hank_Hill, any recs on where to rent some snorkel gear, paddle board? Any recs on getting fresh fish to cook at home or restaurants?
Boss Frogs was cheaper than Snorkel Bob's for us for gear. We got food (fish, meat, etc.) from Costco in Kahului.

Crossing the finish line erases all that pain!

I distinctly remember at telling my self at mile 22 of the Marine Corp Marathon - I'm never doing this shit again. That was 2001 and my only marathon.
I said the same thing in 2023 at Houston. I then proceeded to sign up again that night for the next year lol

I just didn’t know what to expect and I was on a borrowed bike. I couldn’t really run after and limped home at 6:30 finish.
Kinda like how people say you are halfway through a marathon at mile 20. Prior to running a marathon, I thought this was total bullshit, then I bonked at mile 22 of my first marathon and it was like a lightbulb going off.

What is your plan for swimming in the brazos at the waco 70.3 Just start a dose of antibiotic prophylaxis a few days before the race and hope?
I swam Lady Bird Lake/Colorado River two months ago for the Austin CapTex Tri. I survived.
Edit: I also take 6,000 IUs of Vitamin D daily...so I have that going for me.

2 different people said at mile 85 you are halfway done with the ride and that has stuck with me. I never want to experience what I did in my first 70.3. I had a 2:29:58 half marathon only because I refused to have a 2:30. It still haunts me. I think it’s easy to get suckered in on the bike as ya feel good at 70 and you are more than halfway done by mileage and people probably think on race day adrenaline will carry them.
I think you are more than ready for your 70.3. I still might do a non Ironman 70.3 in 3 weeks as a training day but I am going back to Florida 5 days after I get back for a guys trip and it will only give me 4 days to dry out from alcohol.
I still need to get my long rides in for sure, with some brick sessions after. It’s so damn hot here in Houston though.
I also don’t drink (family history blah blah blah) so I can stay focused. When you say you had a bad run on your 70.3 because of your bike, what do you mean?

I will be 9 weeks out on Sunday and I feel so far behind all because my long ride was canceled last week. I rode 2 hours on spin bike at 5 am this morning and will do it again Thursday. Saturday I am riding 75 and running 6.
My wife told me last night she wants to go to the beach and take our 3 year old for his first trip and I successfully navigated a Sunday- Thursday so I can get my long brick in this weekend. I will spend a lot of time running in Florida and may go to the Y one morning for a spin class.
2 guys I run with who have both done Kona keep telling me to ride ride ride and it’s starting to fuck with me and they know it but I know they are telling the truth. I think I can crack a 10:40 after looking at things.
That’ll be a great time, especially your first full distance!
When I volunteered at IM TX, the folks I was helping off the bike were saying that they were way undertrained on the bike. I was walking with one (I took bikes and racked them for the athletes) and he said he should have done way more training on the bike. He said his longest ride was only 85 miles. I’ve always thought you need to ride greater than your race distance which is why I’m going for 65 or 70 for my longest ride.

Yall are crazy
You aren't the first person to tell me this and you won't be the last.

I only spent about 2.5 hours total on bike last week so I will make a big adjustment this week as we are 8 weeks and 6 days away. I did run 55 miles last week. Today I am swimming for an hour.
Got in a 26 mile bike ride before work yesterday morning (very little sleep - trying to get back on central time from hawaiian time) and got a 9 mile run in this morning before work. I've been neglecting the gym and need to make it back in for some strength training so I'll hit that tomorrow along with a swim. Now that I'm about 10 weeks away from Waco, weekends will be exclusively long ride and long run days. I'm going to build back up to 65 miles on the bike. This weekend will be a 45 mile ride Saturday followed by an 11 mile run on Sunday. I may do a few miles run Saturday at the end of my bike session just for some practice. As I ramp up for Waco and get more mileage in on the bike on my long rides, I'll extend the runs on Saturdays (before football season of course) and be back by 11 central in front of the TV.

Jill should run. She already has the practice.

Let it go, Taurean. You just weren't Big 12 and CFP ready.
Texas didn’t recruit you because nobody recruited you. He fucking walked on at aggy.

Currently staying up north of Lahaina in a condo, beachfront, about a 10 minute drive from Lahaina.
Honolua Bay on the north side of Maui has some of the better snorkeling areas on this side of the island. The place can get pretty crowded and there’s no sand on the beach. It’s just rocky area with some branches that have fallen where you can sit. Not kid friendly for the young kids not able to snorkel yet.
Wife, 8 year old and I went to Kihei beaches at the beginning of the trip but it was too choppy/windy to snorkel. Great beaches down in Kihei for little kids and families who just want to bake in the sun. Haven’t ventured to many other beaches though.
Haleakala is currently closed due to wildfires that broke out last week. My wife and I did that about 10 years ago when we honeymooned here but we wanted to take the boy. I’ve done Hana before when I was a kid.
Lahaina is just a sad town right now. Apparently they’re making progress but there’s still burnt buildings standing. On the inland side of the highway, they have cleared the land and looks like they’ll start construction within the next few months hopefully.
Really enjoyed the trip. We’re leaving Sunday. Best part: didn’t pay for shit. Worst part: sister-in-laws were here. See Holiday thread for further info.

I always say that the first 2 nights out there. By day 3/4 I remember why I live in Kihei. Love it out there though.
Is Paia Fish Market one of the better places to get fresh fish in Kihei?

Also ran a half marathon yesterday morning up the coast of Maui. Pretty zonked this morning. Time ended up being 1:51 or so. It was warm yesterday and I got sunburned swimming. We’re leaving Sunday and I miss my bike.

Crushed Mr. Gatti’s at MLK a few times during my school days (late 2000s) when I was 300+ pounds. Still crush it to this day at the one in League City at 185 pounds.
Cheese sticks, thin crust pepperoni, and BBQ chicken pizza are the best. Wife and kid love it too. They know I won’t go to CiCi’s. I ain’t eating that cheap shitty pizza. Let’s go to Gatti’s.

Let's not go crazy now. Biden will continue to have smart, competent people around him to "guide" him to the preferred decision.
Trump...will not.
I agree with everything before this though.
I never knew that being president was considered a “group effort” until I was told less than a month ago, shockingly, right after Biden flubbed his way through the debate and people started asking questions.

Power back at 3:30 pm Friday since 8 am Monday. Leaving for Hawaii tomorrow. The only reason we came back today was to pack.
