SWBKRUN Mentor Group-"Off Season?" What is that?!! (Page 105)

Just read your RR Suzy and I can't believe those running times. I would gladly give up some time on my swims to you if you would lend me some of that running (and biking) speed.

Definitely a ghost, I think...  At least it permanent marker and not something else....

That's the spirit!

BTW, Happy Flag Day everyone!

gadgetlaw - 2009-06-13 9:52 PM I finished my Sprint this morning.  It was a lot of fun!  My parents ended up driving up to watch too.  It was cool to have them there!  I did ok.  I think I was a couple of minutes faster than last year - not a lot better, but a tiny little bit!  I am waiting for the official results to be posted.  I got so little sleep last night because of the dog (Yes, I love him dearly!!)
that I feel like I have been up for two days.  I am off to bed now, but I will post details tomorrow.

Great job!  Next time if the dog keeps you up make him race with you! 

This is funny because he is a retired greyhound.  Every time I go to a race, I ask him if he wants to go.  Sometimes he can be bothered to lift his head of his pillow to look at me, most of the the time he just keeps sleeping!!!
I am still waiting for my official race results - what is taking so long???  So, today I was lazy and just went golfing.  I beat my Dad by 4 strokes!  That has never happened before!

I hope everyone enjoys Flag Day!  I know that I will enjoy it tomorrow, when I don't have to go to work.    I think Flag Day is my favorite day to have off!!!!

Karen

yes, you know you've become a real triathlete when going to play golf is being lazy!  it's still 4 hours of trudging along and exerting yourself!   Nice job on your tri Karen!  

I rode 49 miles today on a rolling course with some hills and did a 20 minute brick run afterwards, and this time, no cramping and HR stayed in Z2.  I am testing out nutrition as my race is 5 weeks out.  I think I hit on a good combination of Infinit through 2.5 hours with water and shot blocks every 15 miles...then water with gu about 5-10 minutes before T2.  (water only after 2.5 hrs)

Roni and Steve, you guys did so awesome in crazy weather conditions.  You earned the Half Ironman/Ironwoman titles for sure!

Hi all! Just a quick note to say THANK YOU!!! You were all out there with me yesterday and helped keep me going. Overall I'm happy with the race. As Steve has already said, there were really tough conditions out there, but I still got it done in a little under what I thought it would take me. I figured 7:30 and finished in 7:28, plus I learned a bunch! I'll get the RR done and catch up with you all tomorrow when I get back to Pasco. Thanks again!!!! 

Team Numero Uno, I am sorry I didn't get my 5k in so I had to use the first half of my 10k at mooseman which wasn't stellar.

Here are the totals.  I didn't count your time if you didn't finish a segment. 

Please feel free to touble check. 

Not sure about you guys but I thought that was a lot of fun.

Agreed!  We should do it again late in the year to see how we all have improved.   That would be real interesting....

Seriously I am up for retrying later.

I really enjoyed following Steve and Roni in the IronmanBoise. While some people enjoy following the pros, it was much more fun and MUCH more inspirational to follow our MG members. Anything is possible! I hope I give as much support as I feel I get.

Doug

Agreed!
