  1. Yep. Not concerned. The elevation is actually the same and the road will be better. I drive the route often. The worst thing is 3 loops.
  2. The thing I still cannot reconcile is people like Vance and Kennedy and Cruze talking shit about him for years and then line up to suck his dick. Is it all about power ? Cruz is the biggest pussy of them all for doing nothing after Trump called his wife fat.
  3. It’s supposed to be announced Chattanooga is changing bike course as Georgia and Ironman cannot suddenly agree on cost. New course will be 3 laps and 8,244 of elevation ( which is double normal course ) and no damn shade at all. A hard day just got harder but my last ride had 6,000 of elevation gain and I felt good. Nothing I can do but do it.
  4. It’s interesting watching my speed turn to dog shit. Last year I could run a 1:28 half and now that I am not just running it gos away. It’s not a bad thing but it is humbling and sometimes hard not to run faster out of ego
  5. Tired legs but never got heart rate over Zone 3
  6. Thanks man. I have to constantly remind myself how lucky I am to feel so miserable sometimes. Good luck with your recovery.
  7. 6 weeks from tomorrow which means 4 more weeks of hard training.
  8. I didn't know she was racing in it. I will follow it more now.
  9. I lived about 10 miles from this crash.
  10. Nice work my man I’ve been in Florida for 3 days and haven’t done shit but drink. I feel awful.
  11. lol kind of. I just got to Florida today for a guys trip and the long run was hanging over my head so I said fuck it. I will still run down here and do 2 hours on bike but that is more manageable hungover.
  12. the real crime is that Bomber jacket.
  13. Wasn’t his name Kenny? That was rough
  14. She pulled to the leaders and just blasted them through the turn. One of the more impressive cycling performances I’ve seen. ( excluding my own obviously )
  15. Looks like you are there. Honestly, I would run the distance in the next few weeks and then start running around the time you think you will be running during the race for heat acclimation.
  16. I stopped at 85 since my riding partner needed to stop and I didn’t feel safe out there today alone. I felt good and easily had 100 in me.
  17. 100 mile ride and 2 pancakes tomorrow. Good luck
  18. Faster day today.
  19. Ok, so we had a 12 beer set back tonight. Snap and clear for tomorrow
  20. Had a decent weekend training wise but not enough bike time. Today I ran with a guy who is normally decent but I had to fire him at mile 11. Luckily, at mile 13 I saw a buddy and we ran the rest.
  21. I agree and that makes him worse imo. Compete sellout.
  22. I still cannot believe Trump picked him after the shit he said about Trump. That’s unlike Trump to do that since he is all about loyalty but then again Donny Dementia is getting old and slippin.
  23. And just like that another person loses everything because they wanted to be associated with Trump I’ve had a theory that the Democrats put Biden out there to debate so this would all happen otherwise he wouldn’t have stepped down.
  24. I did a 15 mile trail race last year that was actually 18 ( they switched the course that morning and the race was known for wacky shit like this ) and I was honestly scared at one point. You run down Lookout Mountain in Ga and then come back up and the last 3 miles are the climb up. I ran it with 2 guys I can compete with on the road but it was my first trail race and I realized at mile 4 I couldn’t keep up and told them I would try to catch up. I had gotten the best advice ever and that was on each of the 2 water stops I better fill up and thank God I did. Anyways , things were going ok and surprisingly I was running top 12 come to find out until mile14 and then the wheels started coming off and I asked a guy I was running beside if I would know when we started the ascent up or is it gradual and he just laughed. Well, I get there and I said oh fuck. It’s single lane almost straight up and for 2 miles I averaged 23 minutes a mile and I was out of water. I had thoughts of quitting but I had to get to finish line to quit as it was the only way out. It was all I could do. I was literally walking 12 steps and resting and letting anyone who wanted pass me. The best part is when I finish my 2 buddies are already changed and having a good time and I asked them if they went to Applebees for brunch while they waited on me. They said they realized at mile 8 the course was going to be long and was worried I would be pissed. I ended up finishing 44 out of 110 people so overall not bad but it’s the most scared I’ve ever been. I told them that was my first and last trail race. I had to pull over 3 times driving home to stretch. They had a 50 mile trail race that same day and one of the guys I paced at the Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon was racing it and we talked for a little at mile 5 as it’s the same course for the first 18 miles and he ended up finishing 4th overall. I tell that dumb story to say this. I’m doing it again this year for redemption.
