Garmin-Transitions Challenge Tread

I rode my super fantastic Felt B2 to a 5K race this morning.  That's one stage down for me.

No worries, Cat!

Do we log our stages on a spreadsheet somewhere?

Thanks Dee! 

Good morning everyone!  I haven't been on my bike yet, because it's at home and I'm in Atlanta for the weekend, but I'll make up for it this week.  Heading back home today.

I ran the Peachtree Road Race yesterday.  It's billed as the largest 10K, and it really is huge -- 55,000 runners.  I was fortunate to be in an early group and my condo is along the race course, so I ran by the condo (and got my picture taken by friends), ran to the end, then walked back to the condo and got to watch the next hour+ of people running/walking.  It's amazing to see the sea of folks taking up all of Peachtree Road for hours!!  A very fun way to spend the 4th.

Great!  Did you also race? 

Morning Team,

Took yesterday off (like most, I guess, judging from how quiet the forums were).  Today I have a 45 minute bike ride on tap.

I love those big races.  How did you do?

 Yes, I did!  Finished the 5K in 24:59.  It was my own little duathlon!

Have a great time!

Good job!

Maybe we should introduce our selves.  Since this is a TdF challenge, introduce your bike as well.

My name is Tracy.  I have two Felts that will be playing this month, too.  My tri bike is a B2 named Raven.  (She's black and sleek and stealthy!)  My road bike is a Felt ZW3 named Goldilocks.  (She's gold and "just right".)  I think I will be on Raven most of this month since I have a sprint tri in a couple of weeks.

I've been doing triathlons for about 5 years.  I love them!  This year I have done 1 sprint tri.  I plan on doing 2 more sprint tris and a HIM this season.

GO GARMIN!!!!

Does anyone have any skills in making a nice list of our team?

Breezy - 2010-07-05 10:47 AM Goldilocks kills the bird-theme you had going on...Why not goldfinch? Well...now that I "say" it that doesn't really sound as cool as Raven! I'm April. I put my training mileage in on a carbon fiber Trek road bike and some commuting miles in on a Diamondback hybrid. Since I have been riding the Trek I have realized how heavy the Diamondback is but I rode my first century on the Diamondback (over 5,000 feet of climbing). I do all of my riding alone except for a century event every fall to keep me on track. This year's goal is to finish the century in under 6 hours. This is my first season with any serious run mileage. I ran a half marathon a few months ago and surprisingly find myself wanting to run every now and then. But my true passion is long distance road cycling...and the TdF bike challenge!

Hmmm.  Maybe Golden Eagle would have been better.  Naw...to long.

Do your bikes have names?

Hi everyone,

I'm Cheri, and I did my first tri 3 years ago.  I actually haven't done too many -- a handful of sprints and my one (and only!) half ironman.  I'm mostly a runner, although yesterday was my first race since last October.  I hurt my knee in November, had microfracture knee surgery in February, and was just cleared to start running again last month.  So... training has been pretty difficult this year.

But I LOVE riding my Felt.  I have an FW3 that fits me so well, and I try to take her out as often as possible.  She is orange -- I know, who wants an orange bike -- but I went to Va Tech where our colors were maroon and orange, so I guess the color suits us.  And of course she is called "Hokie Spirit"!

Hi all! I Nancy, I have been on BT since 2006, I love to race so I can stay healthy and in shape! I have done a lot of these challenges but this is the first for me this year! I have been too busy raising twin boys one with a disability and need to get the training time in. I love this challenge and since I have a two day bike trek coming in august I need to make sure I get on my bike.  I have had a sacrum injury giving me some hip issues that a I am currently in PT for. So I didn't put a high mileage to make sure I could complete my goal.  Nice to meet you all!

Oh, I ride a specialized multisport, it is an OK bike...Dream of my new one someday...
