  1. As a father of two 25-30 year old girls (yah yah I know) I can tell you they both are heavily into Cartier. They don’t care about Rolex / AP etc. it’s all about the tank and panthere.
  2. Went out for about 15 min on the bike this morning, even all decked out just couldn't get warm. Came in and did a couple hours on zwift. Pappasitos in an hour. Then a nap.
  3. If only cook would have had an opportunity in a more convenient state.
  4. Hey we have one thing in common !!!
  5. Apple pay on my watch saved me. It wasn't just that there weren't that many stations, they were stationed unevenly and they were also pushing some off brand electrolyte swill that was gross, pickle juice (also gross) or a cup with 2 tablespoons of water in it. In retrospect i should have just camped out at the aid station and drank 10 of the tiny sized cups of water until i got what i needed, verses, not being greedy and just grabbing a water and moving on.
  6. Ran the galveston 1/2 yesterday. Not fast, but at least broke my "worst case goal" time of 3 hours. Felt my hamstring all day long. It got hot and i even ran into walgreens on the course at about mile 9 and bought some water. The aid stations weren't great or numerous. Not a great day, but we got through it - and something i couldn't even think about doing a couple of years ago. So all good. Next up some "speed" work over the next couple of months and the Austin 10k.
  7. I’m a 56 year old formally morbidly obese back of the packer. I’m a 7hr 30 min 70.3 guy. It’s fun. There is always someone slower and fatter than you. Just enjoy the process and don’t stress about it. Every fast tri guy I have ever met has been cool with me. We all suffer out there and are all pushing as hard as we can. Whether that is 4 hours or 7 Us back of the packers just get more value for our money. I get 7 hours on the course, people like Clint get to be on the course for far less time
  8. I wouldn't get a school ring, but i guess i get it. I don't understand taking a picture under a giant ring holding a placard for the momentous occasion of ordering the ring. I really don't understand dressing like a homeless dude who just played basketball in the picture And I really really don't understand posting it for other humans to see.
  9. Hey, he didn't lie about trying to kill his wife. He good.
  10. Looking forward to all summer long aggy counting the Ohio state game as a loss for us. Then when we win, discounting it as luck because Ohio state lost both coordinators.
  11. Speaking of injuries before a race, i sort of strained/pulled my hamstring running at memorial park yesterday with the Galveston half next week. Sucks being old. It doesn't feel too bad, so i dont think it is a tear, but it does hurt. Guess i will be in super taper mode this week and just stay off of it and do what i can next week. Annoying.
  12. For me its running that is the problem, i'm still a fairly big guy, 6'2ish / 235 with tree trunk legs. I grew up swimming, and biking is my strength (relatively) - i am almost "good" at cycling. But I just hang on in the runs and have accepted (for now) my 2:40 half marathon time. I get passed like crazy in the final hour of a triathlon because of my speed on the bike. I continue to work on my running. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, that's what makes triathlons fun.
  13. Booked my Airbnb for La Quinta / Indian wells 70.3. Guess I’m doing it ha.
  14. I dont care if we get money from the Girondists or the Jacobins, i just want a fucking interior offensive line that can get us a yard when we need it. Jesus you political people suck.
  15. Take a look at the T100 series. Las vegas is probably going to be october. Might give your knee enough time to heal.
  16. What’s everyone’s race schedule for the year. Right now mine is: 1/2 marathon Galveston - Feb Sprint tri - Jun Oly tri - Sept 70.3 - December.
  17. 31-13 Ohio state 287 yards no running game, turnovers, missed field goals. hope I’m wrong.
  18. 31-13 Ohio state 287 yards no running game, turnovers, missed field goals. hope I’m wrong.
  19. It was a hard fought season, no one knows what happened at the championship game / netflix.
  20. Unlike this thread which is thoughtful and serious, filled with nuance and well reasoned posts.
  21. My mother has one that she re-did in the 70s that is very very similar. She has turned down $2500.00 for it. Told her she should have taken the money.
  22. Yep. But you have to fill up the next 2 weeks of content somehow. "Texas hasn't beaten a top 25 team, so Clemson could give them a game" will be a top 3 discussion point.
  23. Typing aggy vs aggie is just efficiency. We are very busy important people.
