Hey guys, have a good weekend. 

Vacation starts tomorrow for me.  Wooo Hooo!!

Hey everyone!

So how's it going for you all?  I'm done with the presentation and business trip so normality returns.  Time for me to get back to the basics as I have 8 weeks until the long corse event in April.  MTB into work today, long run tomorrow in the plans. Can't wait for the "warm" weather to return!

I hope all is well, I'll be checking in this week to see how everyone's doing...

Hola'...things going pretty well...raced in the Tundra Time Trial on Saturday...race report is here: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=66686&posts=1#M694399

All in all, pleased with how I did.  Looking forward to getting back in a tri training groove now....glad things are "o-tay" on your end

Bluejack's right.  So tell us want's going on with your training...

I completed my Feb run challenge of 5.4 hours for the month this morning with an awesome 7 mile run with ~ 2 miles off-road on trails.  For the Bike challenge I'm at 97% of the 10.3 hours I committed to. I'm feeling bad for my swim!  I'm working mostly Bike and Run and results wise it is showing up nicely on the runs.

So for March we have a Tri-sport challenge going on.  Please come over and play to really get the training on track for the upcoming events we're all doing.  Come on and play, I can but us all on the same team to really encourage each other, so far Bluejack and I are in it

IMAZ training is going...OK.  I have a lot of anxiety about my training being adequate, even though I'm following the plan fairly well.  Volume is OK.  I met my goals for the February challenge:

I had time to ride my new bike twice and the seat is killing my perineum.  I need to take it outside instead of the trainer and see if the seat is Ok and how fast I will go in aero.

There's absolutely no pressure guys, we will not lose this March challenge

"If we lose this challenge, I'll kill my..." - oh, hold on a sec...only a game...(and I hate losing games)...my bike totals will be good - between teaching my weekly class, most likely picking up a class or two as a sub, and one or two long rides during the month, I should be able to put up a surplus; swim will be solid too, because fear is a good motivating factor....only thing I ask from the group, hold me accountable on the run...I need to do it, but too many years on the soccer field moving at a very high clip (for a white boy) with lots of stop/starts/cuts has taken a toll and running is easy for me to put off (because I know I can finish a 5K - the question is how badly do I want to finish at a decent pace)

"Overall I feel really good only having trained 10 weeks from 0 running miles"

Jonathan, we're all very proud of your & the Mrs. accomplishment.  Great job, it just gets harder easier from here

Alrighty gang,

How are we doing for the March challenge?  So far I have done one each for S-B-R, this week starts to crank it up for me somewhat.  I have a planned recovery week next week than the ship really hits the fan for the last two weeks.  I'm going to be a bit aggressive early and go for at least 10% extra padding on my runs and bikes just in case a cold/illness thing starts up again in the schools this month. I have no run for error going for 100% of the TP minutes.

Abs challenge is going on too. today's session went fairly well, only shook about half as much as I did last Friday

LHablas reporting for duty, SIR!  So far, so good.  Swim and Run are clipping along nicely...Bike will pick up steam during the week, starting with tomorrow's 60 min spin class.

Hey guys.  Hope all is well.

I had a good vacation and I've got things going better at work.  I'm working on the ITB with massage therapy and I'm exercising a little.  I've changed my goals.  I'm going to do the local May Day 5K and the local sprint tri in August - that's it (unless things are going great, and then I might throw in a couple of other sprints).  Other than that, I'm going to play some softball, enjoy the lake, and S-B-R when I can this summer.

Glad you enjoyed your race Jonathan.  Good Job!

Here's a Wed update re: the March Challenge:

I'll pick up another 60 mins on the bike tomorrow (subbing the 6AM class) and looking to hit the Silver Comet Trail for at least 2 hours on Saturday...

I'm at 8%, 16% and 16% for the S-B-R respectively, so far so good. 

Heck of a goal there Jonathan, I'll never do a mary!
