Headless Horsemen Team Thread

Howdy all, I'm Andy.

This is my 5th year of doing tris. Done pretty much every distance there is, from Sprint to Ironman, duathlon, aquathon, etc. and had a good time at all of them.

My goal for the month is 70 miles.

I have one tri left for the year, a local sprint. Otherwise I will be using October to basebuild for the White Rock Half-marathon in December.

...and a fan of Scrubs, so he's probably a decent guy ...give the Todd some love [high five]...

Hi Team,

I'm Don. I'm 52. I've been running and doing tris since 2001. The tris have been mostly sprints, a few olys, and 1 HIM. I've done 7 marathons and finally this year had my longed awaited BQ. I'm now building for my Boston effort. I'm currently running about 60 miles/week and plan to build to 80-90 by early next year. I race almost every weekend. In September I raced 6 times - 1 half marathon, 1 10K, 2 5Ks, 1 2 miler, and 1 sprint duathlon. I placed in my age group in 4 of the races and all but the 2 miler were either PRs or personal course bests. I'll be doing at least 3 and up to 5 races in October.

My goal for the month is 225 miles.

I update my log daily, but I may not report in on this thread as often.

Hello Brainless Equestrians Headless Horseman,

I'm Sal, 44, from the Minneapolis area.  Been doing tris for 4 seasons now.  Did my 1st HIM this year.

Goal for the month - 12 hours of running (about 75 miles).  Should be about right for a recovery month (I'm running Whistlestop marathon on the 11th).

The challenge last month kept me on task (114 miles of running).  I'm banking on this challenge keeping me on task thiis month as well.

Go Headless Horsemen (and Horsewomen )!

Hi all,

Been doing tri's, all sprints, for about 3 years (horrible at swimming so that's why i haven't gone farther) but love running, did my first marathon last year at 4:09 so am building up to try and break the 4 hour mark this year (december sometime probably). Never ran 100 miles in a month, come very close a few times but always get hurt, sick or plain just don't care, so this should help keep me on pace.

hey group.  i'm marilyn and i'm racing my very first tri ever this coming saturday (so i already have some guaranteed run time!)  i've been competing in bodybuilding for the past two years and got into tri this summer as something to challenge me in the offseason.  i live in SE VA but getting bored and looking to move somewhere at the end of next summer.  i'm not fast and i'm not horribly dedicated but i am GOOD at trash talking.

and i love scrubs too. 

Oh sweet. We're on the same team. Allllright!

Hey Mike - glad to know if I stay to "only" sprint length tri's I'm not the only one swimming safe

Hey Sal!  good to team with you again.  I recognize a few names from spring challenges too.

I'm Cynthia. Last weekend I completed my third tri, first season.  I've now decided to train for a 10K, likely on my birthday in 8.5 weeks.  I've never run that distance so we'll see how my body and brain do with the increased length.  While I need to get my body in tune, I know for me, it's a lot of the mental game holding me back.

First run done this morning... in two parts to deliver my DD to preschool.  I may run again at noon if the temps are moderate. 

Hey everyone!

I'm Caitlin, 21 years old, college student.  Started training for my first triathlon about 2.5 years ago as a way to get back in shape.  I've only done two sprints, but I trained for a half marathon in March in an attempt to improve my running, which is my weakest link.  I ended up missing my last two long runs before the race due to illness, but I ran all but the aid stations and came out in one piece, so that was a bit of a personal victory.

That said, I spent all summer getting out of shape again, so I just started over from scratch.  I'm in for 40 miles for the month, which I should be able to achieve without risking injury.

Nice to meet all of you, and glad to see there are a few Scrubs fans here =)

That's me too.  10K race will  likely be on my birthday ... need the family to settle travel plans before I enter and then have to bail.

Off to a good start - a bit over 10 miles today.

Let's get our horses moving!

The Wolves will bite you...

Hello Horsies,
