Hard Core Tri Corps (Team 8) Thread (Page 10)

spokes - 2007-11-06 7:40 PM You know, if this team was REALLY hardcore, you'd eat nothing but tuna for lunch and drink lots of water. And not brush your teeth

so how would you know if we did or didn't??? BTW it was turkey rolled on a whole wheat tortilla with spinach and craisins with some progesso light tomato soup and I live on coffee and water, wouldn't go through a day without brushing the pearlies at least a few times...

MrsUSMC - 2007-11-06 12:16 PM Oh Gill...rumor has it that December's challenge will be swimming

Yep, yep, yep..... I've heard that same rumor. Rumor also has it that Super Cat *may* be organizing it. Beth and I are already smack talking one another. LOL Dee

swimmy, swimmy swim!

ooooooh I can't wait!

I think you guys need a little more leg in your life ;-)

Betsy858 - 2007-11-06 9:44 PM Hello fellow HCTC! My name's Betsy and I'm the new Californian to join your lovely group! A little about myself: I'm a recent college graduate and former rower who's recently caught the triathlon bug. I've done one supersprint triathlon so far (Subaru Women's Tri in Oct). In 2008, I plan to do a couple sprint triathlons, hopefully at least one Oly, and the swim portion of a relay for a HIM. Running is definitely my weakness and I don't seem to be improving much - I'm sloooow. I guess it will take time. I'm open to suggestions! Anyhoo, my goals for this month are: Swim 15000 yards Bike 160 miles Run 5 hours Strength train 5x Ok, time to catch up on 8 pages of posts! At least it's not 42, like "They Who Shall Not Be Named!"

WELCOME BETSY!!!!!

We are a very friendly group and as an excellent swimmer you are in good company here. (Pssst, don't tell anyone, but half of us also post on "They Who Shall Not Be Quiet."

You will get a team title and job soon but I must think of it! Post as often as you can and let us know how you are doing!!!

ummmmm, that would be "They Who Shall Not be Named!"

How do you know??? Aaaaaargh - tuna for lunch yesterday and more water than I normally drink (which isn't hard) ... and then this morning ... no, I don't think I can admit it ... (but in my defense, getting me and DD ready and out the door is hard work and something is bound to get forgotten once in a while)

zipp1 - 2007-11-06 2:15 PM I filled in the summer using stuff from www.triswimcoach.com and learned how to put in more distance over less time.

Thanks for posting that link! I'm reading their newsletters. Good stuff! Dee

I just went and signed up for the newsletter. Looks useful. Have either of you bought the e-book? Was it any good?

Morning all and hello Betsy. This is a very friendly group, but at times the time difference makes me feel like I turned up to a party on the wrong day...

Not at all, Gill. I lurk late. And I'd like to PUBLICLY congratulate SERGEANT MAJOR MUM on having posted the most wonderful photographs of all! Nothing so inspiring and hopeful as new life ... and since we don't have to put up with all the spit-up and nappies, it's even more inspiring and hopeful .

Well as Sergeant Major Mum, I really should say "it's past your bed time young lady, now get upstairs and turn the lights out!" (just practising for the years ahead)

Glad you like the pics - when she's happy, she's the most content and adorable baby; when's she not - well, I'm surprised you don't hear her in sunny CA.

What, who, me? On the computer?

Terri, you could also try using earplugs. Those will also come in handy when you put in more swim volume--they help prevent dizziness.

Actually, plenty of ppl. at masters use earplugs ... if you get a kind that are easy to pop in and out, you just need to take one side out when the coach is talking. Just a thought!

Greg! Lovely to have you pop in. Then again, unlike me, you generally post only when you have something important to say.

LOL - Yanti dear, Everything you say is important to US!
