Only action pic is in my avatar.  There are more to come later this year for sure. 

Picked up packet today for my 40 mile ride at Germanfest on the 26th. 

Registered for my first tri sprint in two years!   Count down is on to May 17!  Can't wait to get these stitches out of my face and get to training!

SSMinnow - 2009-04-16 4:03 PM Gosh, I wish we could have an encounter somewhere.  We are a bunch of hotties!

Tracy--when I first looked at the crash picture I was stunned.  I was trying to figure out how you could have gotten that hurt and still be planning an Olympic.  YOU GO GIRL!  You are one buff chick.

Kim--where I come from we call that bra stuffing AND I never thought of doing that for an event.  Maybe on Monday!  Love the dog.

Tony--gotta love the sideburns in pic #2.  I think I am going to start calling you Elvis.  Do you have blue seude shoes?

John--I don't think you look whipped.  I think you look proud as does your whole clan.  That is the great thing about this sport.  You can be sweaty and stinky and people still want to hang around with you.

Reuben--I don't think you look big, I think your "Chopper" looks tiny.  I swear your legs are as long as my whole body.

Rob--great running form, especially on grass.  Do they not have paved roads in Canada yet?

And in honor of Trevor, I'm off to practice kissing some butt!

Now on a serious note.  I had a 3 mile run scheduled today with a 12 miler Saturday.  I had not run for a week before my 4 miler yesterday due to some knee and shin discomfort (I felt great yesterday).  Today, rather than take it easy I just ran at what my body was physically wanting to go at.  I ran 3.3 at a 9:04 min/mile pace.  My mini pace is about 10:15/mile.  A fastest 3 mile pace has been 8:53/mile.

My question is...two days before a long run should I always hold back?  Or is OK to push it this hard before a long run?  I will say this 9:04 was much easier than the 8:53.

fattyfatfat - 2009-04-17 8:43 AM I see many of you have the 2009 Mentor Group from the winter in your short term goals.  Is anyone working on one for this group?  I have no idea how create it but will be happy to give it a shot.

How are you adding the HIM logos to your short term goals (ex. IM Boise in Steve's logs)?  I just cant get the friggin' thing to work...user error of course!

Thanks  HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

Jeremy said he would make the table, just need to PM him with your info.

If you have the rich text editor TinyMCE, (you can turn that on in your settings)  you should have a little box that looks like a tree, click that and you can link to a picture if it is stored somewhere else.

Morning all!  Just wanted to check in before I start working.  Went to the pool this morning and got in 750m.  I still can't do 300 straight through but it is getting easier.  My rest breaks have gone down a lot and I think I've finally figured out the bilateral breathing.  I want to make sure I'm comfortable with it just in case, although I'll probably do mostly one-sided during my race. 

Question on swimming - I want to sign up for my August tri and they are asking for an estimated swim time.  Right now it takes me about 9-10 minutes to do 300m (I know I'm slow, but I'm working on it) - that's with several breaks.  I think that swimming 300 straight by August shouldn't be a problem as long as I keep up with the workouts, so I expect that my time will drop between now and then.  So what should I put down as an estimated time?  I don't want to be where a lot of people are going to have to swim around me, but I also don't want to the be the one having to swim around a lot of other people.  Would 7:30-8:00 be too much of a reach or should I stay closer to 9:00?

I'm afraid I don't have many race pictures, this one is from the Flying Pig 10k last May.  I hope to get some new ones in a couple of weeks!
