The Peep Army

Finally... some motivation:

(Peep Army.jpg)

Hi team

I am Torben, and I am stuck on the trainer this month as everything is white outside I will actually focus a bit more on running this month, but since you should never forget to bike I am in for 500k........spend on the trainer....... in front of the TV.

We are the Army…….the ONLY army in Peep town, so how can we possible lose this challenge???

Hey Peep Army!

I'm Terry and my background is similar to Bopper/Kevin.  I come from a few years of mountain bike racing and am also a recent Tri convert as of last year.  I have an Xterra, 2 Olys and another offroad Tri on schedule this year.  Throw in 5 mtn bike races and I have a full season.  I enjoy road biking as well.

My first race of this season is at the end of this month, so a lot of my bike miles this month will be long, slow, and off road; hence my only selecting 150 miles for the month.  I'll gladly up that number if our mtn bike practice sessions go well for the race.

"Failure is not an option!"  Hahahah!  Let's have fun, encourage each other and kick some peep tail on meeting our goals!!!

Morning Peep Army!!  I'm Jen.  Haven't been biking much recently, so this will help me get back in to multisport mode.  Should be fun!

I don't mind being captain if no one else wants to do it. 

Hi Peep Army!  I'm Susan.  Last year was my 1st tri season also.  I've got 3 nearly grown kids so hubby and I decided we should get back in shape now that we have some free time and triathlon training sounded like a good plan.  Now I'm hooked and hubby makes a great sherpa at the races   I've been mostly running so far this year so looking forward to putting the biking first.  It will be almost 70 degrees Saturday so we'll be going on a long ride.  Of course, it will snow again on Sunday.....

Jen makes a great captain -- I second her motion! 

I made a table with all of the team members.

Please let me know if any of the links are wrong!

I also set up a Google spreadsheet for tracking us.  It was nice to have so we can see each other's progress.  This is optional because I know Cat doesn't like the online spreadsheets.  If you want to use it, it's here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pVOlxyviRAwacn3Z1-8d2IA&hl=en

Hey Tri Peeps, I am Tim and am in the final build phase for Ironman California 70.3 at the end of March. I just finished my recovery from Shoulder Surgery in December and am now back in the water going strong.

Gonna be a big bike month for me and will probably look to be a bit over the top for HIM training, but I am also base building for Ironman Coeur d'Alene in June.

My goal is 600 miles and I hope to do a majority of those miles outside. (Of course, the final 56 miles will be outdoors on the race course)

Gonna be a great month and it looks like we have a fabulous team

Oh, I would vote for Artemis to be our Team Captain. (If it is something she wants to do of course)

Hey Jen!  Thanks for the inspire and the quick work on the Google spreadsheet!  Public congrats on making your Febuary running goal!

I'd be glad to have you as captian of the Peep Army!

It was a late night fueled with ice cream and a hot shower... its suppose to be summer here but it hasnt come Silly weather issues...

Oh and your promise was 15 hours.... (there are some advantages/disadvatages to having me on your time)

Jen I love you - you are a pretty awesome captain too!  

Thanks Jen - I dont like them because I am not much good at that technology stuff (like html team lists/links)

As long as the team keeps chatting as well as updating their goals Im all for it!  

*singing* "Ouou I´m in the Army now...." how cool is that

I am Steffi and so need this challenge especially as all my bike time is inside on the trainer or on a spinning bike right now and motivation is hard to find when biking inside. We have lots of snow (and did have for the last 2 months) so no biking outside. I also don´t think outside biking will happen in March at all...

This is my third season of Triathlons and I hopefully get to do my first Olympic this year. So far I have only done Sprints and Half-Olympic TRIs. Last year I was training for an Olympic TRI which got cancelled 4 days before it was supposed to be and that was NO fun!!

My first TRI of the season was last week but it was an Indoor one and we cycled on Spinning bikes. It was lots of fun though

I am in for 300K (186 miles) this month

Let´s go Team

Welcome to the team, Steffi!

Here's an updated table for the team:

Yeah, I read a race report on a Feb tri in Iceland -- glad to read it was indoors!!!!! 

Yo Army !

I did a VERY easy spin before my LSD run today, just an easy 5k but that means that i am already at 1% Wuhuuuuuuu

GO ARMY

Ok ok I will do a bit lot more tomorrow  

Thank you Jen -- love it
