Proud Pink Peeps (Page 10)

GREAT JOB PINKS!!!!

We're just using a bit of road race tactics sitting in third.  Drafting and letting the top teams use up their energy so we can blow right past them!!! I have family in town this week so I am going to struggle slightly to get the miles in, but I will so back off with that cattle prod.

You peeps are so quiet today... does that mean you're up to no good???  I sure hope so .

So I was just looking at the spreadsheet and I see that several of you already put in the miles/hours for this week.  However, I would assume that we are looking for cumulative totals each week given that we need to know the % of goal each of us has met by the end of the week.   In other words, you can just take your total bike time/distance for the month and plug it into week 2... at least that's my take on it.

I'll double check with Dee...

Since we're swapping bike tales, I thought I would share the very first picture of me actually riding my bike!!! In all the other pictures I have, I am just standing there posing for the timer on my camera. Not quite the same. And its from my first tri this weekend. I think I'll actually throw down the money and get a nice copy of it.

I sent a PM to Dee last night.  She is very responsive and will get back to us as soon as she's got time .

Excellent spin therapy tonight.  Werk was friggin busy as ever, and I actually said to the spin therapist, "I need to relax tonight, some sprints would be nice."  She rocked out with her mix of the XXX and Matrix soundtrack.  I even followed that up with some sweet pool action.  I love the smell of chlorine in the evening.

Yeah, I bet she was real sympathetic to a request for a "relaxing" ride .  So chlorine is your fragrance of choice, too?   

As for the spreadsheet...

Yes, the week totals are cumulative so you just need to transfer your March total to the spreadsheet when you update each time.

Cat is going to fix the % of goal column for us when she has some time and is not swamped with werk. 

She had apparently had a very bad day, and she took it out on us.  I LOVED IT!

I can't escape the aroma of chlorine anymore.  I smell it in my sleep.

Done Mila! Should all be ok!

Thanks, Super Cat!

Hi super pink peeps!

I'm headed to Denver this weekend for a VB tourney with my daughter - hoping to get some time in on the stationery bike at the hotel gym

Hey everyone!!!

Went shoe shopping... I'm totally confused now... How important is it that the shoe fit in the heel... found a decently priced pair of Diadora's but felt a little big in the heel... toe box felt good though...

I'm actually getting ready to head down to the aerobics room and spin a little... hooray!!!!

ah, the ever confusing "snug" vs "tight" shoe conundrum.  I would say you don't want your heel to move around in the shoe, especially if it wants to slide out.  good luck. 

 
I had a great ride today in sunny vancouver.  WAIT- did I just put sun and vancouver in the same sentence in march!?!?  We are having a splendedly sunny winter here, I feel for all of those stuck with the snow and cold back east.  Although you know you are ready for spring and summer to really set in when 48 degress starts feeling downright warm.

Ain't that the truth!  Next week you guys may not even Podium! Come to the Dark (Chocolate Peeps) side!!

I wouldn't buy shoes that are big in the heel.  Were they women's shoes (I can't recall if Diadora even makes women's shoes)?  If not, you might do better looking for a women specific shoe as I imagine this could be a problem with some other brands as well.

They actually were women's shoes, everything we tried on were woman's.  Amy and i both liked the SPecialized Torch (but a little past our price point)

Went looking again this morning and.... I HAVE SHOES!!!!  They are Louis Garneau's Ergo Air Road $90.  They fit pretty good.  I love the fact that they are vented on the bottom (I hate hot feet in the summer).  They actually come with two insoles (one for warm weather, one for cold).  I think I'm going to really enjoy them.

geauxtri - 2008-03-14 2:21 PM So our bikes are being shipped to Amy's house (givemashot).  We are both anxious, I'm calling  her every few hours to check in.  And just now she got all excited over the sound of a loud engine... yeah itwas the garbage truck

Hee hee... that is hilarious!!!  I think new bikes arriving on a Friday afternoon deserves celebratory cocktails... smoothies... whatever floats your boat... just enjoy it!
