Run:  35 miles

This is my first year on BT and I'm glad I found this site.. people on here are great! 

Okay... taking the family to the gym and to get my first workout in for the challenge!

Good job on the start today Emily!  I still consider myself fairly new -- I joined BT in December and trained pretty good until my first Tri this past March.  I joined one of the mentor groups on here and I would recommend that to anyone!  I had an awesome mentor in TXMPGal.  I slacked off a bit during the late spring/summer and just played baseball and did family stuff.  I fractured my ankle playing baseball in July and just now getting to where I can jog on it fairly comfortably. 

I have a sprint tri coming up on Labor Day -- I'm not really ready, but committed to do it because my 12 yr old daughter is doing the youth tri as well   I did a mini tri tonight -- out of order with a break before the bike, but I did the distances.  Swam for 20 mins (700 yds - I'm slow); Ran 3.1 miles on the treadmill.  Did these while my wife was in yoga class.  Then I went for a 14 mile bike ride with a friend who is trying to get back in shape -- as am I.  It was a SLOW ride on mountain bikes with big knobby tires!

We're Gorlocks?   That sounds unbearable.....  Ha Ha Ha---snort... Ok I thought it was funny.

My name is Geoff Wieczynski.  I live in Lafayette California.  This is my big push on volume for my my A race on October 10th.  I am on the road today, but will throw out targets later this week.  I am in the process of adapting to the new bike--which has been difficult so far.   This month I have two very long race rehearsal preps.  Also, I have a fun swim race this month.

I am married with five kids.  In addition, this will be the busiest month of work this year.  Timing is not good, but it is what it is!

Let's go get'em!

No posts since Noon?!  Why someone might start thinking we have jobs all day or something  

Good morning Gorlocks!

Ok--I'm back from my business trip.  I cranked out 17 miles running this morning.  I was hoping to get 18 in, but my pace was slower than last weeks long run.  Hope everyone is doing well.

Only 17?  Slacker..... pick up that pace a bit!  I cranked out managed 2 miles this morning :-)

Nice job!  Seriously--if your two is what your plan is that day then it is better than my 17!   It is all good!

I owe, I owe, It is off to work I go....

Today swim at noon and run in evening.  Tomorrow 4.5 hours biking.  I'm not looking forword to that. 

Okay team...  I know this is a triathlete forum, but it's college football time!  I have 7 people coming down to stay with me tonight and tomorrow and we are going to the OU football game tomorrow.  I'll try not to party too hard right before my sprint tri on Monday! 

Trying to figure out how I'm going to get up in the morning for my bike ride after helping my brother and a cousin celebrate their 40th b-day tonight.

GO TEAM GORLOCKS!
