Yeah!!! Here we go again :-)

My August goals:

have to look at my training schedule for august. i have 3 races, so i'll need to see what i'm doing with tapers and stuff.

3 Races!?! I'm jealous!

I`ll support you only if you promise MORE COWBELL to all members upon succesful completion of our goals!

Welcome aboard edwino!

(I hate running too..)

Ok team.. here are the official rules..

Also.. vonholt and gsulee need to get me your goals as soon as you can..

if you haven't given me your pledge amount.. i'll need that too.. If you don't want to pledge.. I don't think thats a big deal.. just let me know so I'll stop hounding you about it..

Go birds!!

Just checking in teamies - Week one is almost under our belt. Is everyone pretty close to 1/4 of the way through their goals? I'm a little down on mine - but will work on it a little this evening. Tomorrow may be a 'rest' day for me as my daughter and I are volunteering in the transition area at the Tri for a Cure. This will be the first tri I've ever been able to actually see in person - I'm pumped. Hopefully, it will get me even more motivated for my own tri next month (provided I'm running again.)

Check in thunderbirds!!

My week has gone for crapola. Lots of afternoon thundershowers have killed my swimming.

Gonna have to put the pedal to the old metal starting Sunday.

I'm off to a pretty slow start too, but I factored that into my goals.

Here are my week 1 totals...I'm a little behind on the bike for the month so far - but I'll work on that tomorrow :-)

Bike: 36.93 Mi
Run 12.41 Mi
Swim: 4200 M

Carrie

Good work team.. It looks like we might be off to a slow start but I have no doubt we'll finish strong!!

I went ahead and pulled everyones totals from their logs so make sure that you log everything. I'm gonna be turning in totals monday mornings probably between 8:30 and 9:30 so try and make sure you get your logs updated by then..

If you dont' it's not a huge deal because those stats will just show up the following week.

Keep up the hard work team!

Cap'n Will

sorry this took so long. i didnt know i was participating!

S: 6500 meters
B: 200 miles
R: 45 miles

Greets folks.
Tossed in 1700 yds in the pool and 6 on the bike. Still way behind, but I'm gonna catch up and be ahead of the goal by the end of the month, or my name isn't Bucky Goldstein!
