Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() esc - 2008-08-06 6:35 PM Got on the bike for a nice 20 mile ride today and got to experience my first 0 mph bike crash. I was coming off a trail onto the road and had to wait for some traffic to pass. I upclipped and put down my right foot the proceeded to list to the left. I didn't even have time to try and unclip my left foot. I fell ungracefully to the gound in a tangle of bike and limbs. Banged up my left hand a bit - should get some pretty colors out of it in a day or two! Been there. Done that. Hope you heal quickly! ![]() |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Triathlynne - 2008-08-07 12:42 AM Would you all like to see where I swim and my brand spanking new running shoes!?
Okay. hehehehe. Sounds like everyone is gettin r' done! HAHAHA I got r' done too. Although it was a short run, the toe is still pissed off at me. I really am dying for longer run weekends to start, not that they ever had but that was my plan this month. I think I would benefit more from running maybe every other day, Tuesday, Thursday and then a long run Sunday. Ok enough blabbing. Oh I am planning on biking home from work on Friday! I desperately need some T.I.T.S!!
This is Seward Park. This is where probably a lot of triathletes swim. If you count the boats from the left, just the close ones, when you get to 4 and 5, inbetween them is the buoy I swim to the most. Round trip is 1/4 mile. I love it when it's this calm!!! There are a couple of swimmers in the pic, but it's a bit small. Okay I'll shut up now. Sorry.
Ma brand spanking new sneakers. Or trainers as we call them where I'm from
That lake is GORGEOUS!!!! And your shoes look a lot like mine. What brand are they? |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() lyssa-gator - 2008-08-07 12:05 PM well, dh has decided he's my training coach. and he tells me i'm swimming this morning. LOL i guess we'll see how his "training plan" goes *evil grin* Yeah, well my dh thinks he is my training coach, too. Yesterday as I was swimming he stood at one end of the pool telling me about all the things I'm doing WRONG with my stroke. It's not like he is a swimmer or anything. I mean, don't get me wrong - he swims - but he was never on a swim team, never been coached himself - NOTHING. I felt like saying SHUT UP AND LET ME GET IN MY WORKOUT!!! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() seriously though, he calls me from work to tell me that he's worked out a whole training schedule for me!! (do you think that PERHAPS he has too much time on his hands there??) |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Isn't it funny how they (dh's) are "so incredibly smart." My dh says that I need to work on my transitions. Really?!?! He knows nothing about triathlons. And, I run a 13 minute mile and my avg. mph on the bike is about 15. I think there are more issues than my transitions. Alas, I listen to make him happy. Then do exactly as I want and practiced. |

So is anyone racing this weekend? Yep. Turtleman Triathlon. Olympic distance swim, shortened bike (21 miles) and run (5 miles). Last year I got a hickey. A weed hickey. A weed got wrapped around the back of my neck at the start and stayed there for the entire swim. It wasn't until the last 100 yds that I realized it was there. Got a nice hickeylike mark on my neck. After seeing that, my wife was probably wondering if that's why I enjoyed triathlons so much... |

Good luck to you. I baulked my 1st Olympic. Not a good memory for me
Rachel. There is NO milfoil at Danskin. Do you want to meet for a swim at Seward Park before the race? I can make you be at one with the foily! |
