August - 2nd Annual Boy's vs Girls Swim / Run Challenge !! (Page 10)

HeII no.  The logs are you personal record of your training.   Log how you want and what you want. 

On that note, I'm heading out of the office now and running from the elevator to my car in the parking lot  (=0.100 Km) . Heck, I might even take the stairs. (22m elevation) Will log it tommorow.  For the record , I do have my sneakers on.

Gosh, I knew I had those conversions wrong! All this time I thought 1 mile = 1.609 km, when in reality, =0.100 km is just as equivalent. My bad!

Just checked my numbers and it looks like I am 58% of the way to my swim goal for August and 45% for running (not counting the run workout I plan for tonight, which should bring me to 50%).

If you haven't already done so, check your numbers, Ladies!  Get real with where you are at and what you need to do over the next 15 days.

Keep up the good work!!!

With my swim this morning, I reached a personal best!  Over 5,000 yards in one week.

Running with my beagle, then swimming first thing in the morning = my new favorite thing

I never had a dog I could run with.  But it is on my list.  I just have to convince my wife that a basset hound is not a real dog.

I'm at 71 % of my swim goal and 72 % of my run goal.  This month's run total will almost match my total for the whole year of 2006.  The outdoor pool season is quickly comming to an end and I will have to get a few extra swims in in order to finish up before it closes. All the winter / indoor pools are closed for the month for the annual maintance.  I'm am starting to enjoy running due to this stupid challange. I just have to get myself over the 40 min. mark. 

I prefer to see  girls in a sporty one- piece bathing suit. If anyone is asking.  Bathing cap is option but I like to think that adds to the look. 

 Girls are weak.
Guys rule the waters and the roads.

I'm at 63% for swimming and 58% for running ...... well on track to whip the ladies butts.

And I even threw in a 29 mile ride on rolling terrain last night averaging 22.1 mph for sh-ts and grins!

(Oh, did I mention I'll be riding 90 tomorrow morning before adding even more running miles with a brick??  C'mon ladies ... who's got the ovaries to keep up with me!!)

And it doesn't matter who's first out of the water!!  They are 99% of the time not the first at the finish.  I'll gladly give everyone 5 - 10 minutes on me out of the water ...... just gives me a lot more people to slingshot off of on the bike!!

well done, Rick.  I'm right there with you!  Got 55.8% of my run knocked out (with more to come this weekend) and a whopping 72% of the swim done too.  And mind you all, for my goals, I just upped my totals from my biggest training volume of the year... heading into my A race in September.

 BOYS are ROCKIN'!!

Rick, I'm concerned that you have ovaries we should be keeping up with.  Are you sure you're on the right team? 

Hey folks,

Here are my stats for the week/month so far: Swim: 15,650 yds/ 29,700 yds

                                                                      Run: 58.15 mi /77 miles 

 If I add Sun race to the totals it will be  Swim: 16,650 yds/29,700 yds and the Run:64.35 miles/77 miles. So I am getting there. Everyone have a great weekend!!!

Well, if I had said "who has the ballz" and by some chance one of the ladies answered then you gals would really need to do a sexuality check on your team.

(And I do shave my legs, have three earrings and at one point had hair longer than my wife's ..... .......)

Proof: Rick's shaved legs. Who wants to see this bad puppy in a Speedo? We are NOT gonna lose this challenge, even if I have to speedwalk across the continent to get coffee.

I'm done with swimming for the week.  I'm now at 17,700/30,000 (59%), which puts me just ahead of the plan for the week.

Have a great weekend of workouts for the weekend, ladies!!

Guys, feel free to drink beer and watch pre-season football (or something).   

I am going to sit on your face and you are going to guess my weight. Plllrttttt!!!!!!!! 

Huh?
