Euskaltel Euskadi Team Thread

Hi,

I guess I'm first to introduce myself! This is my second season of triathlon. Last year I did two sprints, including an Iron Girl triathlon. This year I'm registered for three sprints, including a repeat of my first triathlon, coming up on the 20th of July. All of my rides this month will be shorter, so my goals are 10 stages and 150 miles. This includes a bike commute each week.

Looking forward to a great challenge with you!

Hi Amy,

Your goal total is 50% stages completed and 50% time/distance completed.

Have you put slick tires onto your mountain bike? You'll notice an immediate speed increase if you do!

Hi Stacy,

Is that your bike in your avatar? What is it?

Yes, I think "Team Orange" is a good nickname for the team!

Hi Peeps...trying to copy and paste names to my log page and its taking me forever! (break time)

anyhow..I'm Sarah. Started tri-ing 2 years ago and love it. I had casually biked over the years and had swam swim team up til about 12 years old. But never ran...or never ran fast that is. It's been a wild ride and I've seen improvements in spite of being in my 40's.

Anyhow...got my first oly in August and after my sprint 2 weeks ago, I really need bike muscles! Ironically, I teach indoor cycling so long rides are key to my strength build.

Looking forward to this and I am not too sure how it all yet works but I'm in for 10 hours in 9 stages.

 Hello all..

My name is Steve, and I am training for Ironman Canada about 6 weeks away... July is going to be a big month for me, and I am hoping for 450 miles or so.... I will be on the trainer tomorrow morning @ 6am to watch the tour.... Then off to a wedding.... Then up @ 5am the next day to cheer on some family for the Lake Steven's 70.3 race....

But I hope to get the miles in... 

PS--- The link that they put in to log things does not work for me... Anyone else have a problem?

Hi Team,

Just a reminder that when talking about events in the actual Tour De France there is a 24 hour ban on posting about recent action from the French roads in either your own team thread or other teams. This is because a lot of people have to work while the live coverage is on which means they do not get the chance to catch up on what is happening in the roads of France until later in the day.

If you do want to chat about the event in France there is a Tour De France forum located here: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/forum-view.asp?fid=122#s for the duration of the event.

Otherwise Im usually hanging out in beginner chat whenever I have live stage coverage as well... and always happy to chat Tour with ANYONE and EVERYONE!

Hi everyone!

I'm Kendra and this is my 2nd full season of tris.  As I cannot run right now, my focus is building my bike miles.  I have my first HIM at the end of the season and am getting a bit nervous.

I only work a few days a week and am not online that often, so if you don't hear from me for a bit, I promise I haven't disappeared.

Wooooo HOOOO! Erin you ROCK!! Thanks for offering your links up. I think by the time I got everyone loaded on to it myself, we'd be done with the challenge.

And hey folks... here's a link about the meaning of the color orange - we be good!
