Team 2 - June Challenge (Page 10)

Missed my lunchtime swim.  Work just got crazy.  So I have to figure out how I can get 2 swim workouts in tomorrow.  Logistically, that could be interesting.

Not a whole lot to it.....

1) Pick up taser.
2) Zap victim.

Get the dude locked up. That's important. I don't know what he did, but I'm sure I don't want him living in *my* neighborhood.

I haven't had problems with dogs. Therefore, I'd be more afraid of there taser.

As for being pass by someone my mother's age.... Um, I'm pretty sure that happened during my last 5K race.....

I SWAM!

Of course, I don't have a swimming goal this month, so it doesn't count for the challenge, but.......

None of my bike rides have counted toward my challenge goal (because of the specific nature of my goal)...

Until this one! Yay! I made it! I did my 15 mile "oasis route" in under one hour ride time!

I made 0:26:30 on the way there. That's one minute faster than my best time on that half. I made 0:29:15 on the way back. As I was pedaling along, I was trying so hard to get that under 30 min as well.

Now I need to do it again this month and I'll have met my bike challenge goal this month.

My next goal will be sub one hour elapsed time. 

Lunchtime swim cancelled... pool closed   Have to figure out how to get in a couple swims this weekend.  Should be interesting since our calendar is pretty much booked with sports, family stuff, etc., etc.  It's awfully quiet around here... where is everybody?

That sucks, Bill. Why was it closed? No warning?

Mine was closed for 10 days. I don't know why, but at least it was clearly posted weeks in advance and reopened on time.

I've gotten all three of my swims in this week--and a pit of OWS practice at the same time: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp... Sharing with the swim team is not fun. I would like to learn how to get up and to the pool earlier in the morning.

Now I'm about to change clothes and go for my lunch hour walk/run. I think it will be more of a walk today, though. I pushed myself hard running Wednesday, biking last night, and swimming this morning. Oh, and wearing heels to work Wed-today. lol

You are sooooo getting chicked tomorrow!    I'm out to make up for the lousy race I had last weekend. 

I got a run & bike in yesterday & a swim in this moring. 

Hey, I *like* swimming. I just haven't had access to a pool. Or a lake. Or the ocean.... So I haven't had a swim goal in awhile.

But I found a pool. Although, I had to share it with 10,000,000,000,000 screaming kids. All of whom had really high pitched, loud, voices. I don't want to know what that session to did my hearing.

Actually, about 2 years ago, TinkerBeth and I had swimming challenges. I had to do like 28,000+ yards each month to keep even with her. I thought my arms were gonna fall off.

It's hot. I skipped my planned run wog this evening. I opted for a little blue cocktail drink with fruit and an umbrella instead.

Oooh, next time there's a choose your own adventure challenge, be sure to have a cocktail with umbrella goal.

So I went out this morning before it got "hot." It was only 94 F then.... It's now noon, and it's 99 F.

I wish I had more pool access!

Can I have a supplemental goal that involves cabana boys in Speedos serving it to me?

(Hm, looks like I don't have that sig line anymore. Oh well.... Basically, it involved, well, cabana boys in Speedos serving us umbrella drinks while we lounge by a pool someplace in the Caribbean.)

Hope everyone's Sat is going well! Got a 85.5km ride done.

I've decided compression gear is the greatest thing in the whole wide world...(I may or may not have completely thought that statement through--I may find something that trumps them...eventually...but right now I stand by they are the greatest!)

Better than cocktails with umbrellas?
 

That's *exactly* what I was thinking!

Especially umbrella drinks served by cabana boys in Speedos while we lounge by the pool in the Caribbean.

Right now...yes...better than cocktails with umbrellas and cabana boys...

But I haven't tried compression gear and cocktails with umbrellas and cabana boys at the same time...We might need an experiment?

6 Runs -- 4 more to go
2 Swims -- 8 more to go
0 Bike -- (fingers crossed) I'll take a ride today

But the important question of the day: Should I try to get Paul McCartney tickets? 

Week 2 Challenge Update!

Team Bill -- Check out Bill's progress! 1700 miles in 30 days!
http://freedomtour.opwc.org/

Team 3 - 31.2%
Team 2 - 26.9%

The month is now 43% over - and those team percentages look pretty low. Does anyone need a nice motivational tasering?

I think we need *several* experiments.

Haha. I'm sure that can be arranged. Looks like we already have the compression gear and cocktails with umbrellas...now where should be get the cabana boys from?
