Recap of the 2011 Siesta Key Triathlon – MultiRace Sprint/Olympic Distances

Recap of the 2011 Siesta Key Triathlon - MultiRace Sprint/Olympic Distances

Getting called to a higher (Gear)...Power.

WARNING – This article is full of swagger and lots of self-confidence. You’ve been fully warned.

This was not going to be just any little sprint race. Not this time. I learned my lesson the week before at the Englewood Triathlon. After finishing 7th out of 18 in my age group, and reviewing the splits and times, I realized that, had I taken the race more seriously and focused on performance and not solely improving my triathlon tan, then a Podium finish (top 3) was a real (albeit difficult) possibility.

So using that motivation in looking forward to the Siesta Key Triathlon, I was amped on a confident knowledge that I could perform better, but also stewing on the anxiety of knowing only I could actually apply the training I had been diligently completing and harnessing the lessons I had learned along the way. I replayed these scenarios through my mind as I drove down Midnight Pass Road with a small armada of vehicles following me to the Siesta parking lot or as I would have you believe… the location of the final battle scene!

Sarasota Storm!

Berster hard at work! Safety & Speed First!

4 Markers!! Ambidextrous Shenanigans!

I parked my truck, gathered all my triathlon gear, my Kestrel (Nikita) and made my way over to the transition area. Awaiting our arrival was the usually excitable Nicole Chapman and sometimes stoic Andrew Berster, respectively. They were already body marking at warp speed! The other Usual Suspects were there, always ready with a supportive boost, light jab or competitive barb, including Carl Knutsson, Sarah Senter, John LeTourneau, Ren Schrock among so many others… <Click Here to see pictures of those other people rocking it at the race!>

As we meandered down the soft silky sands of Siesta to the shoreline, an interesting dynamic was taking place. The Olympic distance competitors were starting on the South end of the main beach, while the Sprint and Duathlon racers were going to start near the North end of the main beach. I imagine this would create some overlap, but all in all, it seemed to work out pretty well. As we were entering the gulf to begin our sprint swim, some of the olympic swimmers were headed our way as well, but just like a school of fish in the open water, we all assimilated and continued towards our goal.

Deceiving waters of the Gulf await!

For me, the swim was solid, although it was congested to start with some beginners swimming all over the place, so I made an immediate decision to go wide and swim near the beach bouys and just keep a strong pace. 7:00 minute swim time was satisfactory for me and soon enough my feet felt sand and I was running towards the shore.

Out of the water, up on the beach, and pacing ourselves to the transition area to gather our reliable and sexy steeds and begin the 13 to 26 mile trek down to Turtle Beach and back again, and for some…again! This was a fun portion of the race for me, as I felt great and basically stayed just right of the center lines, passing a slew of people. Lately my biking has gotten stronger and in doing so, it makes for a much more enjoyable race as passing people is obviously and logically more satisfying then being passed. At least for me, but in doing so, I didn’t realize that I was easily PR’ing my biking split time and mph by a couple of minutes, which for 13 miles is nothing to shake a stick at. I did hear some unnerving news about a few riders taking some spills and the course was packed with so many riders, vehicle traffic and a compacted course, but then again, I was going so damn fast, I didn’t feel any effects of that nature. (Embarrassed from lack of humility!) 33:03 = 22.5 mph/avg which for me is a PR and 12th overall on the bike = Yay for me!

After crushing the bike course, I dismounted and promptly switched shoes and made sure to leave my helmet next to my bike… (I’m looking at you Stephen Groth!) …and headed off to the sands of Siesta… Did I mention they are silky and soft, which makes laying out a wonderful thing to do… But running through it can be a little bit tedious and on most beaches, Siesta included, you tend to be running at about a 15% angle. (Thank goodness one leg is shorter then the other!)

Mr. Always passes me on the run, Kowalski!

So on the run, my buddy (aka – always catches and passes me on the run, Kowalski) shows up on my radar as I am doubling back from just making the turn at the halfway point of the 3.1 mile run and he is approximately 20-30 seconds behind me… catching up a little bit with each quick strike of his maddening pace! I made my deal with the running devil earlier and it was to run as far as I could without stopping, but eventually the lure of a couple cups of water at around the 2 mile mark was too much for my parched psyche and so I relinquished and quenched my thirst with one cup and drenched my large steaming noggin with the other! This was just the opening that Mr. Kowalski needed and sure enough, with about 1 mile left, he graciously passed on my left and begin his normal and methodical pull away…

But not today… Today I was not going to let him beat me badly on the run. I quickened my pace, just focusing on the ground in front of me and trying not too look up, or at my watch or at anything other then the back of Mark’s shoes as I kept about 4 feet between us. It was a thing of beauty, in that watching a fighter who battles all fight, only to get knocked down near the end of the fight and continually struggles to beat the 8 count, but repeatedly gets up… again and again. Just like that. Ok, maybe thats a little too much Rocky versus The Russian, but I digress.

As we headed up the grassy path to the picnic/transition/finish line area, Mark had opened a wider gap and although my lungs were burning and my legs packed full of Lactic acid, there was a moment, where it all just went away and I fought to find that final gear… It finally kicked in and with all the dignity and vinegar I could muster, I crossed that finish line 0:00:00:56 behind Mark Kowalski and he helped me finish 27th overall out of 280 sprint racers. Not world record stuff, but a step in the right direction.

Podium!!!

After I got some water, watermelon, a turkey sandwich and an apple crumb muffin dropped from the heavens, I headed over the to the MultiRace camper where they had flatscreen TV’s affixed to one side which posted automatic times from the race. It showed I was in 2nd place in my group, which meant if the times held, I would grab my first Podium and actual award Hardware, ever!?! I was psyched. Please let the times hold. It took me a few minutes to realize that logically, everyone finishing behind me would be slower and when reality finally took hold, a nice contentment took over. I was gonna savor this moment for all it was worth.

After taking the podium, having such great support from friends and other triathletes, I get it. I understand why we do it. For me, it was and will always be ok to finish in the middle of the pack, enjoying the race, the scenery and the camaraderie. But I get it. It felt great to stand on that podium and smile for the camera phones and to proudly hold the award up.

Apparently now, I have to do it again.

Yikes!

Some shots of other podium winners!

Just Do-ing It.

2011 FITriathlon on Siesta Key Recap / Story

2011 FITriathlon on Siesta Key Recap / Story

First off, this isn’t going to be comparable to St. Anthony’s Recap. It just isn’t.

About 10 days ago, John LeTourneau called me at work. He never calls me at work. He had a request for me to fulfill… Better yet, he had put my name down on a list and just needed to tell me where to be and what time to be there. I was OK with that, as I was in essence being LeTourneau’d by Mr. LeTourneau. Thats street cred you just can’t buy. To put that in perspective, imagine the Godfather calls you into his office and tells you your gonna do this thing. What are you going to say? No thanks! I can’t! How about Yes Sir!!

So it was, that my name found itself inked in on the line for timing chip dispersal at the Florida International Triathlon. I was to arrive at 4:45AM-5AM and proceed to find the Queen Bee, Ren Shrock.

Siesta Key can be a calm and eerily beautiful place at 4:30AM and this saturday morning is no different. The street lights cast an ominous glow upon the sidewalks and asphalt and set a scene of every hollywood movie’s lonely street. You can see the outlines of trees, but the sky is still covered in night and the only discernable change is the yellow broken stripes in the middle of the road that are appearing and disappearing like a strobe light in my peripheral vision. I literally have to lower the windows and crank some loud rap music to shake the sleepiness from my still REM-cycle-infatuated body. I’m sure the sleepy neighborhood appreciates some good Trick Daddy this morning. Who Wouldn’t? In case your wondering who or what Trick Daddy is or what he sounds like, then by all means, click here. <—–

4:45AM and I park at the Beach Resort I manage, which is about 1/2 mile from the actual race site. I load my trusty backpack and hike on over to the Siesta Parking lot which is lit up like the Shuttle Launch with High powered halogens everywhere. It looks like the landing spot for Angels or a going out of business sale for a carpet gallery! I put some tunes on the Ipod for the short walk and blend into the shadows the flourescents are creating on mother natures dark canvas. Singing some Josh Turner (Click Here <—), I lower my vocal volume when up ahead I see a Storm volunteer shirt alone waiting to divert traffic to the grassy lot. Its David Romine and he quickly explains that the county wants the grassy lot full before we start parking in the asphalt main lot. We wish each other a good day volunteering and I’m back on my way to find the elusive Ren.

5AM and I stumble upon the Transition area’s entrance, where its early yet and so the Storm members I see include Travis Ricks, Tanya Marvin, Mr. LeTourneau in the flesh, Race Director Dave Strehlow and Holly Urfer. We chat it up for a moment, but nothing can keep me from finding my Golden Ring, Ren. I press on and just past the swing sets, I see the pavilion and Ren is there with some familiar faces including; Mark Kowalski and Bryan Hoskinson. Ren tells me to go see Jaclyn Ohman already holding down the valuable chip hardware. I mosey back to the transition area and find Jaclyn waiting patiently. We exchange hellos and chat briefly about what today holds in store. Its a fun setting and slowly but surely, athletes walk up to our tables either confidently blurting out there race numbers expecting the forthcoming timing chip or others who may not have as much triathlon experience and stand silently or meekly get out their race data for us to verify.

At first we breeze through the competitors as they arrive in 1 minute intervals and soon thereafter, we get Steven and Matt added to our All-Star chip team. When things really pick up, we are rocking and most people get their chips with no problems. The only issue we encountered was Chip Numbers #427 arrived and lo and behold, his chip was not there. Immediately we rounded up the one and only John LeTourneau who headed over to the main pavilion to find the racer data and I’m sure, work on an announcement that like a Chinese tradition, would have brought shame upon our good name. So. Like. William. Shatner. I. Had. A. Plan. I left our table and ventured into the bike rack area, found Rack 420-429 and all I saw was #421, so I hustled back to our table to double check and see if chip #421 was given out. Ironically, I was scoping out some bikes earlier and thought, what turned out to be bike #421, ( A nice, trek concept 7, I believe) was a slick looking ride! So I remembered the rider as well, and as I almost eclipsed the transition entrance I saw the rider of bike #421, and glanced at his ankle chip, which read #427. Problem solved, CSI; Siesta Key! (This is pretty much exactly how the moment went <—– Click there)

Time Chip Table Rockstars! pic by Jackie Miller

The four of us were rocking timing chips like we were the Jabbawockeez on America’s Best Dance Crew. Jaclyn was all about speed, or crunking, Matt was thorough or Popping & Locking, Steve was a wildcard jack-of-all-trades, similar to a breakdance and I was all about Customer Service, which I guess equates to the Usher Glide or the Beiber Slide, either way its pretty cool.

The Beiber Slide - pic by justinbeiberdancing.org

Before we wrap things up, a few late, late stragglers arrive and amidst some tense chaos, they are denied entry to the race. Moments later, an unknown volunteer comes running around the pavilion area leading the tardy participants like a battle charge and they hustle to get their respective things (bikes, helmets, shoes, etc) and make it back to get in the race. Moments later, when they seem satisfied, the Race director had to put the kaibosh down on the late arrivals and end their day. (Ironically, we saw them all on the course for the run, so the good news is they got out there, one way or another! This surely amounts to good PR for the FIT Race, even though racers should always, always, always show up early as you just never know what obstacles, delays or wrong turns await.)

We bid our body marking friends adieu as Travis, Tanya, Hal Hammond and others head off to support other parts of the course and honestly after Hal’s St. Anthony outfit, I’m not sure how many times I will get to write Hal and support in the same sentence. I end up back at the Pavilion and Bryan H informs me I will be spending time with Jaclyn in the woods. I’m not sure what volunteering meant, but it’s looking up! In fact, I am coordinating the runners departure from transition to the woods, through the woods (to grandma’s house <— That's for Jaclyn, she earned it for all her great cheering!) and from the woods to the beach. (Great job by Mary and her CAF supporters as well!)

I grab Jaclyn and we head over to the area on Siesta by the bypass parking area, runners exit the area behind the tennis courts and we stand guard with the line of orange cones and our enthusiasm to guide them into the Siesta jungle that beckons them. This turns out to easily be the best part of the day as runners of all kinds move towards us, like salmon swimming upstream. We get to yell, cheer, uplift and exclaim all kinds of motivational, witty and laughable sayings to them, inlcuding; the aforementioned Grandma's house one liner, which I am not touching. Jaclyn has copyright on that one. We yell, "The hard parts over", "There's shade in the woods", "Your doing it, you are making this happen!", the obligatory, "Good job", "Nice Work", "Way to Go!", but easily my top choice filet mignon of motivation is the genre of cheering. We try Cajun, Hip-Hop, Country Twang, Rasta, but the best and most enjoyable was Southern Baptist Revival with Me as the Preacher and Jaclyn as the Witness, shouting, "Hallelujah" and "WooHoo!". SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHEERING FTW!

Before I know it, the runners are thinning out, the clock is pushing 9:30AM and its about time for me to return to my resort and start my saturday shift placating the vacationers!

I have a cornucopia of pictures from the Expo and the event, so I'll just post them hereafter and let you soak up all the photo goodness!

I swing through the finisher zone and congratulate AJ Bautch & Steve Geaux on their respective great finishes! 1st & 2nd places!
With a plateful of pizza, bagels, banana & an oatmeal raisin cookie, I am out of here!

What a great race for the Sarasota Storm, and all sponsors and athletes! I hope you had fun, because I sure as hell did!

The Suggestions for 2011 Holiday Tipping

The New Rules for End-of-Year Tipping

Few rituals are more awkward than end-of-year tipping.

What about your regular postal worker or newspaper delivery service?

Or the property manager?

The list of potential recipients is probably longer than your holiday shopping list, but the decision about how much to spend can be much more stressful because there’s so much uncertainty over how much, and who, to tip.

Here’s a guide to making sure that you tip well but not wastefully–and that you still have a happy trainer, newspaper delivery person, and parking lot attendant in the new year.

Postal workers: Postal workers cannot receive any more than $20 in cash, which is an appropriate tip during the holidays, says Judith Bowman, founder of Protocol Consultants International. You can also give more personal gifts, such as baked goods or a gift certificate (under $20 in value, of course).

Property Managers/Concierges: Plan on leaving each manager or concierge at least $100 and if there is only one then give more. The more this person does should equate to the more you tip. If you ask this person(s) to do more from time to time, then reward them accordingly. This also depends on the size of your complex. If you live in a 300+ unit complex, then $30-$50 is respectable and appropriate. If your complex is less then that, then stick with the $50-$100 range, and finally if your complex is 50-units or less (especially Condo or OWNED Units versus Rented), then $100 minimum is the goal.

Cleaning service provider: Give the value of one visit. If you usually pay $100 per week, then give at least an extra $100 around the holidays. If this service is provided as part of a seasonal rental , then tipping is expected, especially around the holidays.

Maintenance / Handymen: This tip is in direct relation to the services provided. Is your complex, apartment building, condominium well maintained? If so, then give respect where its due. $20 or a nice gift certificate goes a long way.

Often times, people don’t think twice about tipping poor service at a restaurant or at a coffee shop, but when it comes to going above and beyond as these other folks do all the time, then at a minimum, this one time is the time to show your gratitude with a monetary gift or tip. Trust us when we say, no one wants your fruitcake.

The key to most of these guidelines, of course, is the person receiving the tip. Are they cordial, upbeat, positive, courteous, prompt, respectful, diligent, etc. If so, then tip away!!!

Happy Holidays!
Happy Chanukah!
Merry Christmas!
A Festivus for the Rest of us!

Week 9 Fantasy Football Predictions & Prognostications

Week 9 Fantasy Football Predictions & Prognostications

Its been an eventful and somewhat morose week….

* Randy Moss is a Tennessee Titan. Welcome to Ol’ Rocky Top… I’m sure this will go well!
* Shawne Merriman will have to find a new place for himself & Tila Tequila to live, as he plays in Buffalo now.
* Lil’ Wayne is a free man. Released from Rikers. Congrats, you earned it!
* Gucci Mane was arrested and subdued with pepper spray. Burr, Burrrr! Ha!
* Midterm Elections – GOP taking back the house.
* Numerous Bull Shark sightings in the shallows at Siesta (Yes, I went for a solo open water swim Tuesday evening at 5:30pm. Maybe a poor decision)
* Did anyone notice that the SF Giants won the World Series. I stopped watching when the Rays were eliminated.
* Pro Surfer, Andy Irons passed away at age 32, from Dengue Fever.???? Dengue Fever? WTF?
UPDATE – they also found Xanax & Ambien in his system. When will people learn? Sad.
* Antoine Dodson has made more money then most of us will in the next 5 years. Antoine is the “They rapin’ everybody” autotune guy with his own itune song and ringtone.
* Myspace was put “On Notice” by Newscorp (Fox), its owner, that its losses and lack of popularity are unacceptable and changes must happen. Our once mighty Myspace may be on its last gasp.
* The McRib returned. Like a family of raccoons in your attic. Welcome back.

And what a nice segue! Welcome back to you as well. This weeks predictions may have a sharper edge then normal.

Let us grab our agents cell phone number, the direct number to our attorney’s office and a handful of pills and a bottle of Stoli, cause we’re headed to rehab in our train wreck matchup comparisons.

Charlie Sheen

Our CHARLIE SHEEN Matchup of the week. Both teams keep getting chances to redeem themselves only to be caught naked in a holiday inn with a bag full of cocaine, a passed out hooker, their vehicle in a gulley at the bottom of a cliff and the abused spouses waiting at home for their alimony checks to feed their pain pill addictions.

Starting from the bottom and rising to the top this week, we will start with “THE ELIMINATOR” game!
HE’S STILL GOT IT! Facing THE BIG BENBOWSKI Both teams are staring 3-5 records squarely in the face.
Now, technically, even with a loss, and a 3-6 record, the loser could win out and finish 7-6 and I imagine, depending on previous matchups and head to head records, the playoffs could still be a possibility, but a torturous journey it will be. At least 5 teams will be ahead of you vying for that last of 4 playoff spots as well. Bottom line….Win this game!
All 4 QB’s have juicy matchups. Whomever’s QB’s DO WORK, will take this matchup, straight up.
If the QB battle is close, then we think LeSean pulls out his juju beads and drops some VooDoo on… his owner. Hakeem Nicks and Fitzy I are gonna go off!
Benbowski – 105 over HSGI – 102

jamarcus russell

The JAMARCUS RUSSELL matchup of the week. So much potential, So much hope dawned anew on a season long march toward the championship! Derailed! FAIL. Ray Rice & Matt Schaub are the cough syrup in this story with Donovan McNabb and every other QB started on C&tC as the Oakland Raiders. The high WR draft picks that were all busts because Jamarcus Russell sucked donkey balls can be played by Pierre Thomas and Felix Jones.

CALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS (2-6) facing MANNING & RIVERS, INC. (5-3)
Well, already up against the wall, the chipmunks begin there march to win out. Drop one game and all hope is extinguished. Similar to being a conspiracy theorist and living in your mothers basement, lining your walls with aluminum foil and wearing a hat made of chicken wire and magnets, the chipmunks need to focus and find their happy place, because if Derek Anderson & Matt Schaub can’t learn how to throw a forward pass and defeat the juggernaut of Peyton & Phillip (which sounds like a London Financial Brokerage Office), then fantasy Armageddon awaits. Regarding M&R, Inc, the 60%-75% theory still applies, although we probably need a catchier name then that. Any suggestions? Keep them to yourself.
M&R, Inc – 137 over C&TC – 90

Tiger-woods-divorce-settlement

picture from thenewsoftoday.com

Our TIGER WOODS / ELIN NORDEGREN matchup of the week. This is the matchup where you actually still kind of like both parties, hope for a resurgance on the links for Tiger, and in life for Elin. Same goes for both of these teams. We think the trade was necessary and not bad overall and RC is a surprising 3-5, if she could only figure out the right QB’s to start on the right week! Oy Vey! Just Do It? For the record, we think Tiger woods is a jackass for cheating on Elin and his kids, but $100+ million and embarrassment later, we hope for good golf.

SCOREING (sic) EARLY AND AUSTIN (5-3) versus TEAM RC (3-5)
How RC is 3-5, still boggles my mind. Her QB Black hole always seems to suck the wrong player to the bench and start the underachiever. This week, she has no choice and is stuck with Henne & Kitna as they will go heads up against newly acquired Cassel and Eli. In our opinion, we think this may finish quite even. Henne’s matchup against Baltimore sucks, but Kitna HAS to go bonkers on Green bay, whereas Cassel against Oakland means Run, Run, Run and look for a 3 to 1 Run to Pass ratio. Eli plays Seattle who has a somewhat surprising defense (last weeks game excluded…sometimes you mean to fart, and instead it’s a shart…or Jason Campbell (he is kind of a shart)) We love Darren McFadden and as long as RC changes roster, the loss of CJ and S-Jax on Byes (re: see luckiest team in the world comment regarding AUSTIN) hurts, but can be made up. The fantasy gods demand a Win from RC, so we succumb as well.
RC – 99 over SE&A – 97

Sandra-Bullock-husband-Jesse-James-Mistress-Tattoo-Model-Michelle-McGee

picture via thedailyinquirer.net

Our JESSE JAMES matchup of the week. I mean, we just don’t have any explanation for these teams. Its like bizzaro world or something out of a stephen king novel. Rooster pulled Vick out of the waiver wile scrap pile and in essence found a Nolan Ryan mint condition rookie card at a garage sale. For EV, Joe flacco and Cedric benson have been the equivalent of spoiled rotten kids leeching off their wealthy parents. They do very little positive and just suck the life out of this team. The relation to Jesse James is we can’t wrap our heads around this d-bags lack of brain cells. He is married to an amazing woman who is classy, seems fun, makes mad bank, and seems like an all around catch. Then after he blows all that up… Kat Von D? Its no fun fishing if the fish jump into your boat.

ROOSTER (5-3) versus EV’s ALL-STARS (4-4)
If anyone can explain to me, like a 3rd grader, how Rooster is 5-3 and how EV is 4-4, I am all ears. I just can’t seem to fathom how the rosters and schedules played out this way. Its awesome! This game seems way too easy to predict, so I’m just rolling with it. No Mojo3 or Brandon Lloyd for EV means a huge FF point loss.
Rooster – 119 over EV’s – 79

Our BRITNEY SPEARS / KEVIN FEDERLINE matchup of the week. This basically describes one team heading in one direction while the other is heading in the opposite direction. Pretty simple stuff. I think based on winning and losing streaks, you can figure out who is the Federline in this matchup. Remember there was a point when Britney (1-2 record for IANHG) was bald wielding an umbrella into the side of an SUV. And Federline’s redemption was a spot in a Burger King Commercial. Just Saying.

I AINT NO HASSELBECK GIRL (6-2) versus STOP THE BLEEDING (4-4)
On paper this looks like it could get ugly 140 – 100, but once the monocle comes out, the closer inspection looks a little different, in our eye anyway. We think this matchup comes down to the wire. This is due to Stafford facing Jets D or do I actually start Favre against Arizona… I am hesitant to get FAVRE’d again. I know the stove is hot, but I can’t stop touching it! The only saving grace is Fitzy II plays Chicago and if the Bears actually play D, could shut him down. In all confidence, the rest of the roster rundown looks like a slaughter for IANHG, but anything can happen.
Hasselbeck Girl – 139 over Stop The Bleeding – 134

Its been a steady progression to this point in the season with a pretty smooth commish and enjoyable draft, so raise your glass, take a breath and smash that glass over your head because this is your wake up call to stop being stupid and start being awesome. Your Welcome!
