Friday, March 3: Daily Log

J) Basket tosses, toe pitch tosses, elevator tosses or similar tosses are limited to no more than four tossers and must be dismounted to a cradle position by two of the original bases, plus an additional spotter at the head and shoulder area. These tosses may not be directed so that the bases must move to catch the top person.

Tosses ...

And I thought all those tosses were part of some ancient Gaelic competition.

Keep running!

No 10 cubed for me

10 cubed report

So the official word is there will be two sets of 10 cubers tomorrow - one at 8am and one at 10am. The people training for Sugarloaf will run 15 miles very slowly. I believe there will be some true 10 cubers starting at the 10:00 time too. Both groups will start at the Y.

Clock 3.3 miles for me today.

Geo Tusay: I have lived in Decatur, GA, Brunswick, ME, Zanzibar, Tanzania, Washington, DC, Phippsburg, ME, Portland, ME, Boston, MA, Oaxaca, Mexico, Northeast Harbor and Bar Harbor, ME - more or less in that order.

How did you end up there? Did you like it?

Junior Year Abroad

Yes, I loved it! I lived with a family and then on the beach on the north end. Everyone should study abroad - it will change your life.

Sounds like fun

I've never been very geographically adventurous, making it ironic that I'm married to world traveller Craig! But I wish I'd done something like a junior year abroad when I was younger. I'm sure it would have changed me on this dimension, and probably lots of others.

10 miles

and a couple of ice cream headaches. Amy and I ran from NEH up along Sargent Drive and back. The icy north wind on the outbound leg was much more than either of us anticipated, and we almost turned back, but convinced ourselves it would be worth the downwind return trip. It was. The scenery was beautiful as always, and the water in the sound seemed extra blue today. I thought I saw a mermaid, but it turned out to be some ice on a rock glistening in the bright sun. Thanks for the run, Amy!

Doesn't count

unless you registered to vote while running the 26+ in which case that may have been the cause for the slow time not lack of training.

Fourth Grade News

Nora,

what is the bean jar?

By AlyieCat at 3 March, 2006 - 17:15 | login or register to post comments

Bean Jar

We have words of the day and every time we find or say one we can put a bean in the jar. When the jar is full we have a bean party.

By Nora at 3 March, 2006 - 17:49 | login or register to post comments

Next question...

What is a bean party?

By Chris G. at 3 March, 2006 - 17:59 | login or register to post comments

BEANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a party where we eat different types of bean candy.

By Nora at 3 March, 2006 - 18:07 | login or register to post comments

My fourth grade class wasn't anything like Nora's.

If we'd done the "word of the day/ bean thing," we would have all been fighting over one bean at the end of the year.

How about Jelly Belly Sports Beans?

..... for running .... better than Gu?

Jelly Belly Sport Beans

By Rick at 3 March, 2006 - 20:36 | login or register to post comments

Thought those were a joke...

...at first. But they actually look kind of useful, in a densely sucrostic sort of way.

And it takes only two clicks to confirm that they come from the very same confectorium that makes Bertie Bott's Every-Flavor-Beans.

Hard to say whether that makes them more or less appealing.

Thanks Editor!
I will brag. She's smart, hardworking but more importantly, she is my role model for being a kind, good human being. I can not take credit for that. She was born that way.

Indoor Triathlon

Sadly I was misinformed on the length of the bike. Apparently I could have quit at nine but the sheet said thirteen so I kept going. My legs felt those last four miles of biking during the run. Oh well. This a.m. I did abs with one child on my knees (kind of helpful actually) and one child holding onto my ponytail (outrageously difficult). And some stretching.

TUSAY: Bucksport, ME. Old Town, ME. Orono, ME. SLC, UT. Hampden, ME. Newburgh, ME. Town Hill, ME. Somerville, MA. Old Orchard Beach, ME. Bass Harbor, ME. Nantucket, MA. Sierra Vista, AZ. West Yellowstone, MT. Trenton, ME.

Brian, where did you live in Siasconset?

By Shannon at 3 March, 2006 - 22:16 | login or register to post comments

indoor tri question

for those of you have done it, how long is the swim? By half a mile, do they mean 825 yds or 900 yds? The 75 either way doesn't make much difference (well...a minute's difference, maybe), I'm just curious.

By AlyieCat at 4 March, 2006 - 05:25 | login or register to post comments

Tri Question

You have to do 900 yds. I had the same idea about trying to do just 825 yds and I was told I needed to do the 900 yds.

By Karen S. at 4 March, 2006 - 06:49 | login or register to post comments

13 miles of .....

Shannon, I can't believe you did 13 miles on that bike. That must have been excruciating. You should definitely do it again if you have time. I am sure the Y will let you redo it considering it still said 13 miles on the form.

This indoor tri has your name all over it. I was told by your former swim coach’s wife, that you are an amazing swimmer.

6 AM, 6.5 PM

After an easy morning run and some classes, I went to the field house to say good luck to those competing in the conference meet today and tomorrow, then went off to physics lab. After lab I went right back to the meet and watched some exciting races. Several conference records were broken, including the men's 5k. After the day's events were done I went on a night run along the lake with a group of guys on the team, at a pretty hard pace. I have probably said this before, but running north on Lake Michigan at night, from south of downtown, is one of the best views I've ever seen.

TUSAY: Um, I was born in Worcester, MA, but I'm not sure where we lived. After that: Owl's Head, ME, Hampden, ME, Chicago, IL. I just registered for voting in Illinois too.
