urban gleaning
URBAN GLEANING seeks to DISCIPLE the local church as it TRANSFORMS the realm of giving and receiving in society.
"When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the Lord your God."
Leviticus 19: 9-10
"When you beat the olives from your trees, do not go over the branches a second time. Leave what remains for the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow."
Deuteronomy 24:40
Based on God's generosity laws in the Old Testament, Urban Gleaning is a modern day model for ensuring that when Christians are involved in the giving and receiving of time, things, skills or money, which is still necessary in a world of inequalities, dignity is upheld to the highest standard. While these laws were given to people living in a rural setting, thousands of years ago, the principles that they teach us are applicable to every Christian, everywhere, today.
God has given each of us, no matter what part of the city we live and worship in, a unique and precious harvest from which to give. Looking at it from that perspective, we should embrace God's laws not to just 'do charity' but to enter into a lifestyle of generosity and pursuing equality for the benefit of the whole of society.
"As she got up to glean, Boaz gave orders to his men: 'Even if she gathers amongst the sheaves, don't embarrass her. Rather, pull out some stalks for her from the bundles and leave them for her to pick up, and don't rebuke her.'" Ruth 2:15-16
In the story of Ruth in the Old Testament, we are provided with a 'gleaning tutorial:' the example of someone who went beyond just following Gods' laws, but applied the heart of God by honouring his responsibility as family and neighbour, and ensuring the safety and dignity of Ruth, the gleaner.
As the church, we are called to see the world as our neighbour, to welcome everyone in as family, and to extend ourselves beyond simple charitable giving. We are also called to be like Boaz - someone who makes sure that vulnerable people are not shamed, embarrassed or harmed when the Church seeks to support and help them.
Ideas to consider:
• Make it a family affair: spend time engaging your family around the concept of Urban Gleaning to help each person consider their personal harvest they can give from.
• Do not assume your harvest will be the oldest or least used items - your child may want to offer their Christmas gift or you may feel that it is right to give your newest purchase!
• Let the concepts of Urban Gleaning start to affect your lifestyle and consumer choices.
• Build relationships with your local shops and businesses - perhaps they have great quality excess stock that you may be able to distribute for them.
• Use special occasions to bless other people: cook a Christmas meal for a family in crisis, suggest birthday presents or wedding gifts that bless others, gather friends together to do a service project in your community instead of having a party.
• Make time in your diary for relationships that go beyond your immediate family and community and which cross economic boundaries.
Questions to ask: Myself, Family and Friends
As we enter into a lifestyle of generosity, and dignified giving and receiving, some of these questions may help you:
• What is the harvest of our lives- the time, treasures, and talents that we have available to share with the poor, the vulnerable, the foreigner, the widow and orphan?
• Who has something other than 'material wealth' to share, that may be overlooked?
• What happens in my heart when I am challenged not to "shake the olive tree a second time?" Why do I sometimes want to hold on to things that I do not need, or find it so hard to give away the things I love?
• What is happening in my city, or even church, that may be causing vulnerable people harm or shame while trying to help them? How can I do things differently and speak up for change?
• How can we as the church help each other to see God's laws being followed with God's heart? How can we move beyond charity to relational giving and receiving?
• Read the book of Ruth with those you share a worship life with. Generate your own set of questions that emerge from this story. What other parts of the Bible teach you more?

Urban Gleaning Resources
Bible study
churchesThe Warehouse partners with churches in and around the city, including some peri-urban areas such as Paarl and Worcestor. Whilst being initiated by an Anglican Parish, we work with any Christian church who has a heart to see the community in which they serve transformed in an holistic way, showing the love of God to the suffering in sustainable and developmentally sound ways.
cape townA city of great contrasts, Cape Town is known for its natural beauty, and attracts people from around the globe all year round. What many people do not see or know, both visitors and locals alike, is the deep chasm between the resourced and economically poor in the city and surrounds. The city is home to thousands of church communities, many of whom are eager to see this gap narrow.
communitiesThe communities in which The Warehouse programmes work have all been affected by the history of apartheid in our nation -- whether well resourced or disadvantaged. A core part of the vision is to see churches partnering together, and serving eachother in the building of the nation. The Warehouse is strategically placed between wealthy and poor communities, in a semi-industrial area called Wetton.
historyThe Warehouse was established in 2003 by the Anglican Parish of St John's, Wynberg as a conduit to serve and help the South African church network, primarily in the Western Cape metropolitan area, in addressing poverty and injustice effectively. Today we partner with around eighty churches in a variety of ways, from all denominations and affiliations.
teamThe team is made up of around 16 part or full-time people from all backgrounds, with a variety of skill sets that complement the broader body. Significant time is invested in building this community as more than a work 'place' but a team committed to seeing communities transformed, lives changed (including our own) and bridges built in a divided society.

give your treasuresTreasures • Ensure that all items, whether clothing, household items or toys are newly washed, smell fresh and are not stained, torn, chipped or blemished • Donate items in a well-packaged, attractive condition: folded or well stacked and protected in sturdy cardboard boxes or see-through plastic bags (avoid using black refuse bags) and if possible, pre-sorted and labelled into genders, sizes and ages • If an item is in generally good shape but has something that needs fixing (e.g. a button sewn on, a hem cleaned up or toy fixed) please spend the time doing this before giving the item • Consider buying additional gifts such as brand new underwear to accompany clothing • If you would like to spend money, contact the organisation you are planning to give through to find out what current needs are, especially during disaster relief. The Warehouse and churches will also have this information on websites during specific responses • Ensure that you donate seasonally appropriate items: this may mean that you go through your cupboards at the beginning of each season and donate what can be used immediately, or if you have items for a different season, store them until the correct season • Ask yourself these questions: Would I give this to someone I love? Would I be blessed to receive this? Does this give someone the message that they are made in God's image? Please see the insert regarding what Urban Gleaning at The Warehouse is able to help you distribute, and our website during disaster responses.
give your time• When seeking to give time, consider how much and how often- this will help those to whom you are offering it, know best how to use your gift • If you have committed to a specific time, honor the commitment or make sure you advise if you will not be there- those you are helping may be counting on your presence • Be up front about what you are able and willing to do during the time you are giving • Be willing to do the less glamorous work when you give time. You may be very keen to contact with the people you want to serve but contact with vulnerable people, especially children, often needs to be reserved for those who are able to work with them on a more full time basis- your offer of time could be used to support the full time workers • See if there is anyone who would want to join you- it is always more fun doing things together and they may be looking for a way of getting involved
give your talents• Closely linked with giving your time, you may have a specific talent that you know could be of use to others e.g. tutoring school learners, plumbing, computer skills, counselling • Consider how many hours you are able to give of this skill per month before offering it • Find out what community outreach relationships your church is involved with and offer your skill to one of these if appropriate • You are welcome to contact The Warehouse for advice • Closely linked with giving your time, you may have a specific talent that you know could be of use to others e.g. tutoring school learners, plumbing, computer skills, counselling • Consider how many hours you are able to give of this skill per month before offering it • Find out what community outreach relationships your church is involved with and offer your skill to one of these if appropriate.

ATHENS, Greece – Striking public transport workers in Athens have defied a court order to return to work, despite a government threat to impose an emergency order that could lead to prosecution.
Unions representing public bus and trolley-bus drivers in the Greek capital continued their rolling 24-hour strikes Monday, a day after a court ruled their protest illegal.
Several state-run transport services were also halted to protest a government decision to cancel their annual pay agreements and impose pay cuts as part of an overhaul in public sector salary payments. The action was taken under cash-strapped Greece's commitments to bailout creditors.
Last week, the conservative-led government issued an emergency decree that forced striking subway workers to end an eight-day strike.

Skull Chapel, Czermna
The Skull Chapel (Kaplica Czaszek) or St. Bartholomew's Church[1] in Czermna is a chapel located in one of the oldest villages in Kłodzko County, near Kudowa-Zdrój, part of the Czech Corner in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.
The chapel was built in 1776 by the Czech local parish priest Wacław Tomaszek. It is the mass grave of people who died during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), three Silesian Wars (1740–1763), as well as of people who died because of cholera epidemics, plague, syphilis and hunger.[2]
Together with J. Schmidt and grave digger J. Langer, father Tomaszek who was inspired by the Capuchin cemetery while on a pilgrimage to Rome, collected the casualties' bones, cleaned and put them in the chapel within 18 years (from 1776 to 1794).[3] Walls of this small, baroque church are filled with three thousand skulls, and there are also bones of another 21 thousand people interred in the basement. The skulls of people who built the chapel, including father Tomaszek, were placed in the center of the building and on the altar in 1804. Inside are a crucifix and two carvings of angels, one with a Latin inscription that reads "Arise from the Dead" are among the bones.[4] A recording inside the church available in three languages (Polish, Czech and German) explains the history of the Chapel.[1]
It is the only such monument in Poland, and one of six in Europe.[5]

2010 Ironman St. George
Deprecated: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is deprecated, use preg_replace_callback instead in /home/rjstanford/richardstanford.com/fitness/wp-includes/functions-formatting.php on line 76
This journey really begins a few years ago. Not too many, and I promise to be brief and get to the race itself in a paragraph or three. In 2006 I was training to try to go sub-3:30 in the Austin Marathon when I got sick - seriously sick. It sidelined me for months, and when I tried to get back to running in 2007 I had a really hard time pushing myself without relapsing. I basically took the second half of the year off from working out, which was very frustrating.
In 2008 I decided, at the advice of my doctor and some of my friends, to try triathlons for a bit of a change of pace. On May 11th I lined up for the Rookie Tri, a super sprint: a 300 meter swim, an 11 mile bike, and a 2 mile run. Easy, right? Not so much. I panicked in the swim (I'd gone the distance in the pool, but this was my first open-water start) and breaststroked my way around in 10:43 (3:34/100M), spent over 4 minutes in T1 getting ready for the bike, rode for 43:31 (15.3 mph), took 2 minutes putting my running shoes on, and finally ended up at a decent 8:18 pace for the run.
Still, it got me hooked on the sport. I did the whole Texas Tri Series that year, culminating in the Longhorn half-ironman, which took 7:44:09 from start to finish (~2:45 pace on a short swim, 14mph on the bike, 12:57 per mile on the run). Slow, but I felt like I'd finally regained the fitness I'd lost over the last few years. Then the idea came that maybe, one day, I'd do a full…
Fast forward to May 1st, 2010, and I was standing on the shore of Sand Hollow Reservoir about to take the first few steps into the water for what would be a whole day of racing.
I'd signed up for Ironman St. George months before - that's necessary, both to get in and to get the training that you need to complete one of these monsters. In fact, I'd signed up so early that (this being the first year it was held) they hadn't even posted the courses. When they did so, I started a slow panic that lasted about six months. This race was not going to be easy.
Cycling is not my strong suit. I'd never biked much before 2008, and I hadn't done much training until April of 2009 when I joined Austin T3. At first I could barely finish the spin classes, my single-legged drills were a struggle to survive, and holding a 95 cadence seemed like a really big deal. They got easier, of course, over the year, but I was always one of the back-of-the-pack riders. When they posted the IMStG course and I saw that it was over twice as hilly as any of the "standard" Austin rides, I began to doubt myself.
I became convinced that beating the bike cutoff was going to be my goal for the day. I knew I could swim 4000M in open water, and I was very (over?) confident that I could knock out a marathon in under 6 and a half hours, but the bike? I had to be done with all 112 miles by 5:30 in the afternoon. Not finishing was a definite possibility. I was doing long rides every weekend and spinning twice a week, and knew I was stronger than I'd ever been, but the fear was still there.
Race day actually started when my alarm went off at 3:30 in the morning. I got dressed in my race gear, added jeans and a sweatshirt, slipped on my sandals to give my feet as much breathing time as I could, choked down a raisin muffin and a banana, then hopped in the car with Carrie and Shawn to get a ride to the busses that were taking the athletes down to the course. Stephanie was staying with Audrey until she woke up, I'd see her when I got to the bike (which happened to run right past our rental house at the 25 and 70 mile points).
When I got to T1 I had planned to wheel my bike over to the bike techs to air up, but I couldn't get it out of the transition racks - they were stacked tight, and I'd hooked the saddle over the post by tilting the bike to get it in there. Luckily I was able to borrow a pump from one of my neighbors and get everything ready to roll. I zeroed out my trip computer, filled the bottles with Gatorade, stood around for a few minutes gathering my thoughts, and headed off to find a bathroom. It was 6am.
The bathroom lines were im-press-ive. I was clutching the bag containing my wetsuit and swim caps and alternating between chatting with my fellow line-mates, and watching the time. It was almost 6:40 before finally making it to the front of the line, and I was relieved in more than one sense. I accomplished another first then, crapping in a porta-potty for the first time ever.
That gave me just enough time to dive into the changing tent and get my wetsuit on. Practice has been paying off and I pulled it on in just a couple of minutes. Checking: timing chip bulge, wristwatch, wristband, neoprene swim cap, goggles, race swim cap… all there. Showtime!
Walking out to the swim entrance was nerve-racking. I guess the pros had already headed out; I missed their cannon while I was getting dressed. We were an oddly muted bunch making our way down the ramp, everyone lost in their own thoughts. The water was just as cold as it had been the day before during our practice swim, about 58 degrees, but I was ready for it and stepped right in, ducking my head to try to get acclimatized as fast as possible. Before I knew it, we were off! I started my watch and started to swim.
I'd heard horror stories about the IM mass start. 2400 people all moving at different speeds, all trying to race. This wasn't too bad, but I certainly got slapped and kicked a little. As I expected, I freaked out a bit and had to breaststroke a few times, but in 5-10 minutes I'd settled down to a nice steady pace and tried to relax. It actually worked! The water was cold but not as cold as I'd dreaded, and even when I got kicked in the face at the 1000M mark and my goggles got loose, I was able to shake them out and reattach them without worrying. Sighting was a challenge, as the orange and yellow swim caps perfectly matched the orange and yellow buoys, but there were tons of people to follow.
Everything was pretty uneventful, which was as good as I could have hoped for in the swim. I'd done a 2:20 pace swim a few weeks before in cold water, so that was my goal, but really I just wanted to survive and get on to the bike in good shape. My right calf threatened to cramp a couple of times, but it wasn't a big hinderance, and finally I turned the corner and could see the finish line. That was a little frustrating as it was still about 700M away and it took me almost 20 minutes to get there, but when I did it was an amazing feeling. I'd done the swim. 1/3 over, right? The clock was reading about 1:45 (actual time 1:46:19) which was not where I'd hoped to be on a perfect day, but almost exactly where I'd guessed I'd be. I swam a 2:46 pace, 1740th out of a field of 2400 or so, and many people said they suffered a lot more than I did.
I walked up the slope, pulled my wetsuit down to my waist, and flopped on the ground to let the strippers do their thing - my volunteer had it off in 3 pulls, I think. Picked it up, grabbed my gear bag, and found a chair in the changing tent. I'd worn my bike shorts and tri top under the suit, so I just had to dry my feet and arms, throw on socks, arm warmers, and my vest, add helmet, shoes, sunglasses and gloves, and run out the door. Naturally it was harder to do than it sounds, especially being half-frozen, and it took me over 11 minutes from getting out of the lake to running my bike over the timing mats.
As we turned the corner to start riding, I felt myself tearing up. I was doing an Ironman! Seriously, this was a major accomplishment. Even if I didn't finish, I was here. I kept telling myself that I'd trained, I'd tapered, and I was ready. Then we turned onto Highway 9 for the first of many climbs, the first significant one at least: about a mile and a half of 6% grade. It wasn't that bad, but I was down in my lowest gear just spinning gently - my biggest concern was doing too much now and losing my legs at mile 90 instead.
About halfway up I felt something between the toes on my right foot. I got to the top and pulled my shoe off - nothing, just a phantom feeling as they warmed up. Cost me a couple of minutes, but saved me worrying and could have saved me a blister, so I didn't begrudge the time. The next few miles were just a series of rollers, a little longer than I was used to back in Austin but not much steeper; the hard part was that there wasn't a single piece of flat road to be found.
The first aid station was around mile 11, I grabbed another bottle of Gatorade and refilled my aero bottle - another first. In fact, this was the first time I'd ridden with it and I was quite happy. It made it easy to keep drinking; whenever I looked down the straw was there, inviting me to take another sip. At mile 17 I was able to do a quick dart into another porta-potty that had been set up for the run, then it was down some bumpy hills to the crossover point I'd see three more times during the ride. My official bike split was 1:33:49, or a little over 14mph, but that included a couple of stops. I had a post-it note in my bento box with "must be past this point" times to beat the cutoff and I knew that I had some time in the bank.
Stephanie and Audrey were waiting at the 24 mile point right by our house. It felt great to stop for a second and get a kiss from both of them before heading on with a big smile on my face; it didn't hurt that going up the hill just before a spectator had commented that "With a cadence like that, you'll do this course just fine." Good to hear! The next few miles were hilly but uneventful - I was getting Gatorade at every aid station, eating my ProBar nuggets, and enjoying the gorgeous scenery.
The real climbing started about mile 32 and kept rolling gently upwards towards Gunlock. Very happy for my big gear on many of those hills - I was riding a road bike with a triple, 54/39/30 and a freshly installed 12/25: figure that gives me about an 11/28 equiv if I had a compact double, and I used all of that low 30/25 combo quite often while spinning up. At the Gunlock aid station they said that Veyo was 8 miles off and sure enough, at about 6 miles we came to the switchback.
This was *the* climb of the day. 3/4 of a mile long, averaging 11% grade the whole way. I'd say that 15% of the folk I saw were walking their bikes. I just stayed slow and steady, passing more than a few folk both walking and riding. The first pro I saw (not the leader as it turned out) had passed me around my mile 30 on his second loop, a few more went by at this point too, standing and hammering up. Whenever it got steep and my cadence dropped below 60 I'd stand for 3-4 pedal strokes, then sit and spin until I needed to stand again. This did the trick, and I made it up, only to be greeted by the sign, "You get 2 do it again!"
Thanks, guys.
I made Veyo proper with about 30 minutes of padding before my "worry" time, and was very happy to head back downhill towards town. There were a few uphills but after that climb they didn't seem too bad. Then the winds started to pick up… a tailwind, at this point. Wow. 18-22 mph on moderate uphill climbs was easy, and I hit a new personal speed record on one of the downhills: over 45 mph, and that was out of aero and feathering my brakes. Yeah, I'm a total wuss going fast, and more than a few bikes whizzed past me.
That took care of the first loop faster than I'd have predicted. I checked my average speed - my trip computer (only counting forward motion time) read a little under 15mph. I needed 13 to beat the cutoff. Headed 'round again, and saw Carrie on the right side of the road, Audrey and Stephanie on the left, then stopped to shed my vest and kiss my family for luck! I followed the same plan for the second loop, just a bit slower since the winds were really picking up.
At about mile 80, when we started getting into the long serious climbs, I was passed by a very confident woman who declared, "Well, we'll all beat the cutoff from here." That was music to my ears. There were tons more people walking their bikes - including some fancy disc wheeled works of art - up the two biggest hills, but I never got off mine and just got the climbs done the way I had before: occasionally standing for a few strokes and just moving my way up back to 4700 feet. Phew!
Heading South into town I knew I had plenty of time, and the tailwind had turned into a gusty head/side wind, so I was a lot more cautious. Probably didn't get above 35 at all, and spent most of the time down in the high 20s. Making the turn to the crossroads for the last time felt wonderful, with one more surprise uphill climb at about the 110 mile point before a nice fast downhill spin to T2. I'd done it - I'd beaten the cutoff by 30 minutes. Total bike time was 8:01 riding, 8:10 overall, 13.7mph. At this point I started tearing up (notice an ongoing theme here?). All that I had left was the run, and even if everyone else was dreading it, that was the one thing I knew how to do. I was going to make it!
Probably overconfident, I know. But that's how I felt.
I dropped my bike with a wonderful volunteer, took a last sip of Gatorade, waved to Carrie and Shawn who were yelling encouraging things to me, and trotted off to get my bag and head into the changing tent. Dumped all my stuff out, peeled my arm warmers and bike shorts off and put some run shorts on, asked the volunteer "Does it look like I have everything?" Remembered to put my sunglasses back on, and headed out again.
After heading outside I saw the Barretts again. Carrie has a video, I was amazed at how relaxed I looked. For months I'd been telling myself that if I made the bike cutoff, I was going to finish. Well, I had. Yay! I actually mentioned to Carrie, "I guess I should have had a plan for the marathon." No exaggeration - I'd been that focussed on the bike. She mentioned something about drinking Gatorade every other station and having a Gu every 40 minutes, which sounded reasonable enough. Heading out Shawn told me to look good for the camera so I raised my arms as I ran through the "Run Out" arch and over the timing mats.
Took just under 10 minutes total, including the chat.
It probably sounds like false bravado, but I never felt concerned about the run. It also never felt like a marathon to me. I've done five, each with a certain amount of preparation and concern, but after that bike course I figured I could do anything. That, and I just thought of it as an out, and back, and out, and back, running from aid station to aid station. I knew I'd get it done.
The course was amazing. Beautiful, covered in fantastic volunteers, and I shit you not, the hardest half marathon I've ever run (and that specifically includes the old Motive course in North Austin). Yes, I said half marathon - so doing it twice was all sorts of crazy. Just like the bike course there was about 50 feet of climb per mile on average; also like the bike course there wasn't a single flat stretch of pavement. The first two miles - literally - were all uphill (sometimes gradual, sometimes steep, but climbing all the way). It was basically uphill until mile 5, then a mile and a half of mostly downhill, then almost all the way back again. And then another loop.
I ran nice and easy, checking my watch every now and then, and realized when I got to the turnaround at the end of the first stretch (right at 7 miles) that I'd averaged about a 10 minute pace so far. That got me concerned that I'd blow up at some point so I made a real effort to back down and started walking some of the steeper uphills. I'd seen Ralph, Laurie, and Mercedes along the way, also cheered on every Jack & Adams and Texas Iron jersey I found - Austin was well represented out there.
By the end of the first loop I'd pulled off my glasses and was ready to shed my visor - the sun was setting and I always prefer running without anything on my head. I pulled the $5 long sleeve tech shirt out of my special needs bag and tied it around my waist, just in case it got cold, then saw my family and friends waiting just past the turnaround. Ran over and gave kisses, dropped my visor, and promised, "The next lap will be slower!" The second leg had been a more reasonable 11:25/mile, and my legs were definitely getting tired.
The next 10 miles were pretty similar. I ran every downhill and every easy uphill, and ran some of the moderate ups as well. Chatted a lot. It never felt like I was doing a marathon, I just knew that I had to keep running until I finished. Averaged 12 minute miles for the first 7 and went a bit slower for the next 3, just like on the bike once I knew it was going to happen I was somewhat paranoid about screwing it up.
Then with about 3.5 miles to go I started to run. After all, it was basically downhill from there. I'd been passing people all along and I don't think I was passed by more than 10 people the entire marathon (probably closer to 5 or 6), but so many folk were walking at that point I couldn't even keep count. Started picking off a few runners, too, and I felt fantastic.
And why wouldn't I? I was going to be an Ironman! I mean, damn!
At mile 24 I got passed by another runner as I slowed down to walk the last little steep uphill stretch - just let him go. Then I got Stephanie's message from Audrey on the big board, got a little teary again, and decided to run the rest of the way. I'd worked out that I could go sub 5:00 on the run if I stayed around a 10 minute pace which seemed reasonable…
I kept accelerating because I felt great, and settled into a pace I was confident I could keep up for the rest of the race. Tossed my shirt (never worn) to a spectator who wanted a souvenir so it wouldn't show up in my finish line picture, thanked every volunteer I could find, and just kept running and grinning.
With about a mile to go I was passing a few more folk who were actually running (and quite a few walkers). Then I saw the guy who passed me earlier. I tried to reel him in, but couldn't quite catch up to him in time so I let him go so I'd have the chute to myself. High-fived a bunch of little kids who were cheering me on, saying, "You're going to be an Ironman!" Cried a little more. Smiled a lot more.
Then I was there. Rounded the final turn and saw the Ford Edge in the middle of the street. Beyond it was the chute, and beyond that was the finish line. I looked to see if I could see anyone I knew but everyone was cheering wildly. The announcer was welcoming in Mark as he crossed the line 15 seconds or so ahead of me; I just kept running, smiling, and raised my arms as I heard my name announced. The crowd was electric and I felt great - I couldn't have asked for a better high as I passed under the archway. 15:16:17. I was now an Ironman.
Ended up at position 1265 as well, which was my bib number. Two cool numerical coincidences I'd never have guessed and couldn't have planned for. But who cares? I'm an Ironman! And that run split? 4:58:59. Nice. That was about 15 minutes faster than my first marathon which was on an easy downhill course :)
A volunteer gave me a heat blanket and a bottle of water, then walked me a few feet down the line where I got my t-shirt, hat, and finishers medal. Wow. He stayed with me all the way to the food, made sure that I didn't need medical, then went to gather the next finisher. I'd had the chute to myself which was amazing - 15 seconds behind Mark and 35 seconds in front of Ty. The crowd had been all mine, and I was still glowing.
It was an amazing journey. In retrospect, could I have run harder? Probably, but I was far more interested in finishing strong than in going double-or-nothing and getting sub-15 hours. Could I have biked harder? Not much… I need to work on my speed and my downhill confidence. Swam harder? Probably, but by just getting the swim out of the way rather than trying to race it, I saved untold hours of training time and stress. Was I satisfied? Am I still satisfied?
Yeah. Absolutely.
Will I get a tattoo of the M-Dot to commemorate it?
See above.
When's my next race?
I'll be at the Rookie Tri again this weekend. Just as this was my first Ironman, it was my first tri, and I'll always have a soft spot for it. I won't be racing it, just like I wasn't really racing this one, but I'll be able to see many of my teammates again and celebrate just a little more. Then I'm going to concentrate on other things for a while. I'll keep doing shorter tris, but no IM training in the foreseeable future. It just takes too much time at this point in my life.
Will I do another one?
I'll have to wait and see. I'd like to, though. There was never a point during the race where I wanted to quit, and I never felt like I didn't want to do this again. It was such an amazing, enlightening experience. I'd recommend it to anyone with a couple of years to train for it, in fact. Its hard. Its fairly insane. Its worth every drop of sweat.
I really couldn't have done this without the support and understanding of my lovely wife, and the patience and trust of our wonderful daughter. My friends kept me going when I had to duck out of one late-night gathering after another because I was getting up at 4am to train. And everyone in Austin T3, from the coaches (Chrissie, Mo, Logan and Charles) who taught me that single legged bike drills at 120 cadence were more than reasonable and that running uphill was fun, to the teammates who assured me time and time again that I could do this, even when I wasn't so sure myself.
You're all the greatest.

RF tends to travel on the surface of a conductor, this is known as skin effect. DC current flows through the conductor, which is why solid copper core is specified for runs that carry DC power (like from the PI to the LNB). Copper clad steel does have greater resistance to DC current flow than does solid copper of the same size/gauge. Resistance to RF is a consideration in some situations, but typically not in the normal DirecTV installation.
and that was my point.

AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft.AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft. develops and produces engines for AUDI AG and other companies of the Volkswagen Group in Győr, Hungary. In 2013, the company inaugurated a new automobile plant there covering the complete production process. In that year, Audi Hungaria started series production of the Audi A3 Sedan* and A3 Cabriolet*. Series production of the new Audi TT Coupe* and Audi TT Roadster* started in 2014.

Audi expands its Hungarian site in Győr into a fully-fledged car factoryAUDI AG has expanded its site in Győr into a complete automobile factory. The expansion, which represents an investment volume of more than €900 million, is creating 2,100 new jobs in the northwest of Hungary. The first models to roll off the new production lines will be the Audi A3 Sedan and the S3 Sedan.
Audi Hungaria: in the press shop320 meters long, 58 meters wide and 17 meters high –Hall G 55, the press shop, isn't the biggest building of the Audi Hungaria plant in Győr. But it's something like the cornerstone of the production process – the section where the production of each individual car begins. The building's foundations consist of a seamless slab of reinforced concrete 1.5 meters thick and eight meters below the surface of the ground. The slab is supported by 360 bored piles 15 meters long and 0.8 meters in diameter.
Press Releases
Audi production network: ready for electric mobilityAudi is preparing its international production network for the mobility of the future. Large series production of the first purely electric driven SUV from Audi will begin at the site in Brussels in 2018. The plant will also assembly its own batteries. The company will transfer production of the Audi A1 from Belgium to Martorell in Spain. The Audi Q3, which is currently produced in Spain, will be built in Győr (Hungary) in the future.
New managing director at Audi Hungaria: Peter Kössler to succeed to Dr. h.c. Thomas FaustmannPeter Kössler (56) has been appointed managing director of Audi Hungaria as of October 1. He will move from the automobile manufacturer's main site in Ingolstadt, where he has been plant director for more than eight years. Kössler will succeed to Dr. h.c. Thomas Faustmann (52), who, after eleven years as managing director in Győr, will move to Neckarsulm. There, he will succeed to Fred Schulze (48) as plant director. Schulze is to become the director of the plant in Ingolstadt.
Audi Hungaria: energy efficiency through supply of geothermal heatThe drilling has already begun: An ultramodern geothermal plant is to be constructed in Pér, close to the Audi Hungaria factory in Győr. After going into operation in just over a year, it will supply the company with at least 82,000 megawatt hours of geothermal energy per annum and will cover about 6 percent of total heat requirements.
Audi Hungaria: Start of production of new Audi TT RoadsterAs of today, the new generation of the Audi TT Roadster* is driving off the assembly lines at Audi Hungaria. The official starting signal was given by Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG, in the presence of numerous politicians and businesspeople including Hungary's Prime Minister, Viktor Orbán, and the Mayor of Győr, Zsolt Borkai. After the A3 Sedan*, A3 Cabriolet* and TT Coupe*, this is the fourth Audi model to go into series production at the new automobile factory.
Audi Hungaria: 100,000th car leaves production line at new plant100,000 cars built since the start of production at the new Audi Hungaria car plant: The anniversary model, an Audi S3 Sedan* in glacier white, was driven off the production line today. The model, equipped with a 2.0-liter TFSI engine built at the Győr engine plant and with a red interior design, is destined for the United States. AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft. has been producing the Audi A3 Sedan and A3 Cabriolet since June of last year, and added the new generation of the Audi TT to its portfolio just a few weeks ago. In response to high demand worldwide for these models, the Company introduced a third shift in its automotive manufacturing operations in August.
Audi Hungaria: Start of production of the new Audi TT CoupeThe third generation of the Audi TT* and the TTS Coupe is now going into series production at AUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft. Following last year's start of production of the Audi A3 Sedan, the S3 Sedan and the new A3 Cabriolet, the new Audi TT is now also leaving the assembly lines at the automobile plant in Győr. Audi produces this model there with the full depth of manufacturing. The most impressive features of the Audi TT are its sporty character and emotive design, as well as innovative technologies in its drivetrain and its operating and display concept.
25 million engines at Audi HungariaAUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft. today produced its 25-millionth engine. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder-TFSI gasoline engine with 200 kW (272 hp) is installed in an Imola-yellow Audi TTS Coupe Competition. Audi is producing this limited special edition of the compact sports car on the occasion of another jubilee: the production of the 500,000th Audi TT.
Start of production for new Audi A3 CabrioletStarting signal for series production of the new Audi A3 Cabriolet: With this new compact four-seater, Audi Hungaria is producing another model completely in Győr as of today. The A3 Cabriolet is distinctive already with its flowing lines and fabric soft-top. It is also at the pinnacle of its segment in technical terms – with consistently applied lightweight construction, the latest engine technology, versatile networking and highly effective assistance systems.
Audi Hungaria celebrates start of production in new automobile factoryAUDI HUNGARIA MOTOR Kft. is starting a new chapter in its 20-year history this Wednesday. The CEO of the Volkswagen Group, Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, and the CEO of the Audi Group, Rupert Stadler, have given the official starting signal for series production of the Audi A3 Sedan together with Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Within two years, Audi constructed a complete production plant complete with press shop, body shop, paint shop and assembly lines, covering floor space of more than two million square meters at its site in Györ.

The Baroness was a charming creature. The Baron had taken her from a family of high principles and had no reason to mistrust her, despite the fact that the tooth of time had already gnawed into him quite deeply . . . And yet a disquieting element of grace and charm lay dormant within her, which could easily complicate the practical application of the Baron'simponderabilia (since the Baron was a bit of a stickler). One day, after a period of conjugal life graced with the quiet bliss of marital duty, the Baroness came running to her husband and threw her arms around his neck. "I think I ought to tell you this. Henryk has fallen in love with me . . . Yesterday he declared himself to me, so quickly and suddenly that I had no time to stop him."
"And are you in love with him, too?" he asked.
"No, I don't love him, because I have pledged my love to you," she replied.
"Very well then," he said. "If you are in love with him but do not love him because it is your duty to love me, then my esteem for you doubles and I love you twice as much. And the young chap's suffering is a well-deserved punishment for his weakness of character—losing his heart to a married woman! Principles, my dear! Should he ever make another declaration of love, tell him that you also have a declaration to make—but of principles. A man of unshakable principles can walk through life with his head held high."
But soon after, the Baron received some dreadful news. Henryk had no pluck in him whatsoever. Spurned by the Baroness, the young man took to drinking and carousing, then he became melancholic, nothing interested him anymore, the world lost its charm, and he seemed to be at death's door. According to widespread rumor, his imminent demise was due to unrequited love. "Fine doings, these!" said the Baron to his wife. "Here we are eating canapés while he can't get anything down . . . Do you realize? . . . Because the image of you is preying on his mind. I wonder what he sees in you. I've been living with you for all these years and I've never had any feelings for you that could be called violent. In any case, this is a serious business and I am surprised to see you looking so well, knowing that wretch is suffering because of you."
A week later he was in an even fouler mood. "Well, bravo!" he sneered. "You should be proud of yourself! Your charms have proved most effective—Henryk has one foot in the grave."
"What can I do about it?" she replied with tears in her eyes. "I never led him on, I have no reason to reproach myself."
"Good grief! You are the cause of his hopeless state, your arabesques, your curves and features are the germs eating away at him."
"What can I do? He's gone mad. Do you know what he suggested the day he declared his love? Divorce!"
"What? Divorce? You're not a strumpet yet, are you? Yes, of course, you'll get your divorce, but you know when?—when I die, when I breathe my last, while still professing the same unshakable principles."
"And what if he dies?"
"Dies!" exclaimed the Baron furiously. "That's blackmail, for which I refuse to break my vow to keep you until my dying day!"
