Team 3 - June Challenge (Page 11)

going to start running again today for the first time in a while.

swimming will likely have to wait till next week as the shoulder is still bothering me.  If it doesn't get better by this weekend, I suppose I'll need to see a doctor

Wow, so tragic My condolences to you and your family

I hope all goes well with the run today!

It actually went quite well.  I did a mile less than normal, and a little slower than normal just to ease back into things, but felt normal. 

Thank you for the warm thoughts. I'll be traveling Thursday and Friday. I'm going to bring my bike. I thought it would be nice to take a ride in a new place.

Got 20 miles on the bike tonight; 8 of them in the rain.

I took my bike for a tuneup because the shifting has been flaky but they said everything was good. I did a short training ride this morning to check it out; it's shifting smoother but I still had a troublesome glitch :(

I'm continuing to ride my bike to work every day (it's been almost 2 whole weeks!) and today I just found out that it's Bike to Work Week!  Apparently there are tents at various locations in the area and they give out free coffee and breakfast to bike commuters.  I didn't even know such a thing existed!  Darn, I've already missed 3 days of free breakfasts, but I'll definitely be sure to stop by a tent tomorrow and Friday.

I think you'll find the Olympic course much more "brotherly".   You will get a lot of inexperienced racers in the Philly Sprint Tri (I did that one 2 years ago).  But the Olympic race seemed much more cordial and professional.  You'll also find that the swim is much easier on the Oly course since you swim straight downstream with the current as opposed to a loop in the Sprint race.  When the race gets closer, I'll let you know my # so maybe we can say HI.

And throw snowballs at him!

Back on the wagon today with a short swim and ride.  3 days was my threshold for inactivity!

Awesome job, Bill!  Keep it up!

Nice toppage too

I know what you mean! I went four days last month, and it was so odd.

Jacqueline... I'll be bib # 2475 at the Philly Tri.  See if you can stop by in the transition area and say hello!

Glad to see we have the same pre-race routine!!!

I just looked you up... you're bib # 2103.  We should be not to far from eachother in the transition area.  I'll be the one with the deer in headlights look standing in the port-o-potty line!

Hi Team 3.  Looks like there's been alot going on in the last few pages.  I've been totally slacking the last 2 weeks.  I knew it was coming, so I set my goals for the month accordingly.  Rode a metric century this weekend.  No RR, but the depressing story of it is in my blog from Satruday.  The wound is still a little fresh.

Managed to get a short ride in yesterday.  Rode by myself and really enjoyed the quiet time. 

Hope everyone has a good day!

One more day of work, the off on vacation for a week. 

Very sorry to hear of your loss.  I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

A-friggin-MAZING!!!  Stay safe

Good luck in your race !!!

Wow Bill!  That's amazing!  Keep it up and have fun!

I've been having a fairly inactive week too!  I've only had 1 day this week where I had any formal workouts (the other days I've just been bike commuting).  I'm starting to feel like a slug!
