Snark...Snark...Snark  ^^^^^^

Good morning Hipsters!

I got out for a good 4mi run this morning. Next up for me is a 40mi ride tomorrow and a 4mi race on Monday.

In sad news, gracetheterp has withdrawn from the challenge. Life issues are preventing her from getting her training in and she withdrew rather than staying in and dragging the team down. Please try to send a kind word her way.

I hope that everyone will be out using the long weekend to work towards their goals!

Have a great weekend!

Here are the current standings from the spreadsheets (assuming it's all up to date):

1. Central - 70.13%

2. East - 69.58%

3. West - 61.78%

4. International - 49.91%

We lost our lead, so let's get out there and have great workouts over the long weekend!! 

Ouch! What's the damage? Is your bike OK?

Take care of yourself! 

Sorry to hear about the crash.  Hope things get better soon.  Remember to double up on the red wine liquids and have a safe weekend.

ahem - so, are you certain you actually had the lead?  if we are going by official reports..................

Yes, I am certain, smarty pants. 

We'll have it again...maybe I'll take screen shots next time.   

Made up for missing my ride earlier in the week today.  I biked about 40 miles and did lots of climbing.  I should be just about at my bike goal, so I'll have no problems making that.

My run goal may be more of a problem.  My knee is in kind of bad shape after the ride today.  I'm icing now and then going to stretch out my ITB and see if that helps.  But, I might be a little short on the running if it doesn't get better. 

I did a 40 mile ride today. Windy again, but not as bad as last week. Beautiful weather otherwise.

 The country that you ride in is SOOOOO beautiful....Just remember not to get too close to the Mason-Dixon line and get some Yankee on you....      

Week 3 results are in and the standings are:

Wow, we had some serious slippage this week. No slacking Hipsters!

I was up early today for my 4 mile race. It was put on by the County Road Runner's club as part of their "low key" race series. There were at least 230 runners.

Wow, my pace was just insane! I've never run that fast over this distance. A PB for sure!

I looked down at my watch about half way into the first mile and it showed a sub 8min pace; I couldn't believe it, but my legs kept it going. I kept wondering when I'd hit the wall and start running like in training. I guess it didn't really happen until the last ALL UPHILL mile. That was hard!

• Final time: 36:24
• Pace: 9:04/mile
• Finish position: 171 

I don't know if they will post age group results. 

Good fun! 

Here are our team stats:

Lots of room for improvement! Get out there and Swim & Bike & Run!
