  1. Glad I’ll be driving in tomorrow afternoon from Tyler. I’ll probably just stay on I20 until I hit 360 then head north until I30. I imagine that’ll be around 2:30 PM so everything should be pretty thawed out by then and just dealing with water on the roads, no?

    So, when should you travel? The feeling here is that travel starts to deteriorate during the day Thursday. TxDot and local officials will make sure the major roadways will be fine but secondary and tertiary roads could be problematic.

    We can only guide you in this story. We feel Thursday night will pose more travel issues than Friday morning. Leaving our local area Friday around 9 to 10 a.m. should be enough time to get to DFW safely.

    I’m planning on leaving Tyler at noon on Friday.

    I was hoping you would be doing Chattanooga this year but I understand completely. You have to pick your battles. Maybe next year. 

    Question for the triathlon folks in here. When you’re riding for training, do you wear tri shorts or bike shorts?

    I’ve logged 65 miles this week running and 3 hours on the bike. Looks like I am doing the Chattanooga 70.3 and Chattanooga 140.6 again. #runitback

    I was close to choosing Chattanooga in May. Easier to convince the wife to take the RV to Florida and the beach in that time of the year 😂 

    Good luck man! I’ve been substituting my bike time for the gym and have gained a good 9 pounds since Waco. I’m still averaging about 30 miles a week running 3 or 4 days per week.

    I didn’t either but apparently exercise induced hematuria is a common thing in distance runners. I made a doc appointment anyway.

    I’m closing in on fifty, endurance cardio is wearing my body down.

    I’ve never heard of this. Someone I know (not me) has had ischemic colitis after her 3 marathons every time (shitting blood). But never pissing blood. Good on you for getting it checked out.

    I hear some variation of this argument often "well we have to charge so much because we have to pay for R&D."

    I'm no accountant, but R&D comes before profit.  Top line revenue - costs which include R&D = profit.  So their exorbitant profits come AFTER whatever money they have put into R&D.  They could lower their profits by literally billions, still make a pretty penny, and still pay whatever they're paying for R&D.

    You can make this argument about any business. Lower your prices and be satisfied with lower profits.

    That's true, but the point that I hear trying to be made is 'prices are so high because of R&D.' No, prices are so high because you are not satisfied with lower profits. 

    R&D, specifically with pharma, is a bit more complicated than that. From an accounting standpoint.

  7. Signing up for Florida 70.3 - May 10th of this year. Marathon training has taken a backseat because of moving and new job. Now that I’m settled and able to train, it’s back to the bike grind. I’ve spun about 3 or 4 times since Waco just to keep the feel of things. Swam once since beginning of October 😂

    It’ll be nice to be back into a training block. We may sign up for Cowtown in February. We ran the Bryan/College Station half last weekend. Shitty rainy the whole race.
