<p>I know I have been absent,and I have a decent(?) reason for that, but what happened? Triathlon a dying breed? People just don't have anything to say? Everybody knows everything? No newbies?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just dropping by to say hi to the old crew. We had some good times. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kona is today... No mention?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>OK, so hi.</p>

<p>"Off season" so it's been a bit slow?</p>

 

[Tri_coach06]

I've been off season for a while. I'll be back in two years. Next year, recovery and then rehab, then race!<br><br>
What FB?<br><br>

Yes, but a lot of us "follow" each other on FB so a lot of communication happens there. </p>
<p>Word on the street is that it's not easy to post to this forum from smart phones.</p>
<p> </p>

 

[em73]

<p>you're such a tease.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>yeah, I couldn't read or post to the forum from my blackberry, so I got out of the LIT habit.  I follow many LIT peeps on facebook so I <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">stalk</span> catch up on things there.  I have a droid now so theoretically I could post more.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>also, I'm hopefully finally actually returning to triathlon with hopefully healthy hips.  it was really, really hard to be here when I couldn't do anything.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>now can you stop teasing us and spill?</p>

 

[Tri_coach06]

Monday night.<br><br>
BTW, Crowie won number 3 and Chrissie got number 4.<br><br>
My next triathlon will be the season opener in Clermont, April 2013. I'll need a year to recover from major surgery that will hopefully be scheduled on m y b-day, 2012. (March 21)<br><br>

[TriAndStopMe]

<p>Such suspense!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've been pretty much in the same boat as em. I think it's harder to be active on this board when you aren't getting to be as active IRL as you'd like to be.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Glad to see you posting, though!</p>

 

[pcsronbo]

<p>Yeah, the forum format has been a serious limiter for me. Without smartphone access, I cannot be mobile. Plus Wastebook is sucking people away. Damn shame.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I guess none of us have had the time/interest to find a new home and migrate away? The folks here have been super nice and trying hard - unlike our prior home - but we're not their only child and they refuse to put up with our tantrums </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Waaaaaa</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some of the old crew showed recently... purple haze, jcrew, etc... I think we may have bored them away again though</p>

 

[Stitcher]

<p>Real life got in my way...</p>
<p>and MCM training.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And, a little bit, too....I have a running partner to help keep me interested and accountable, so Rabbit's been getting the brunt of my "aches and pains" things that I would have otherwise posted. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>20 miles in the rain today was just a tad too close to my last IM training ride from two years ago.  At least this time, though, I managed NOT to descend into a hypothermic situation.  It still took me a good 25 minutes to stop shivering, but at least today I was:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>out of wet clothes and into dry ones.</p>
<p>wearing a super warm hat that was my dad's (so that was like getting wrapped in his arms)</p>
<p>snuggling with a bottle of warm (microwaved) gatorade</p>
<p>wearing fleece socks</p>
<p>totally cocooned in a comforter on the couch INSIDE</p>
<p> </p>
<p>while I was getting over the shivers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If MCM is wet, I'm going to have serious issues post-race.</p>
<p>But, at least I know it now, so I can pack accordingly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There..............that's pretty much the last few months in a nutshell.</p>

 

[hobey]

<p>Chalk another one up to real life with work, kid activities, family, blah, blah, blah. I just don't have the time to spare. Plus I spent most of the last 4 months getting over some injuries so I essentially took the summer off real training. Getting back into it now and gearing up for the Houston HM in January. We'll see what next year brings though. I don't anticipate my RL demands will abate any time soon. I barely kept my triathlete card this year by squeezing in a sprint in August and that one was woefully undertrained. It's been a lot easier to keep up with my LIT peeps and my running club friends on FB since they're all in one place.</p>

[Tithers]

<p>I'm always on smart phone and rarely here. Life is busy. Ben is busy. Work is busy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sara wth? Warm gatorade. Odd bird</p>
<p>Thank goodness you changed into dry clothes...you remember what happened last time...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I really like how you are wearing your dad's sweater.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm on FB mostly...it's easier for me to check in and out quick.</p>

 

[ksurp]

<p>I am still around even if I don't post daily. Work has been super busy for me this fall.</p>
