All this recent talk about everybody sitting in front of a computer and posting all day...and it's slow as snot around here today. 

Trevor and Tony go into coma's today?

I know.  I was out all morning and oping to come back w/ lots to read.  I had to go talk sh*t on the texas boards.

Way to go Andy!!!


I have to tattle tale on one of our quiet members.  I was poking around dear Holly's photo album and apparently she does some pretty hot belly dancing  - with photos to boot!!! 

Great job man, those of us that didn't swim competitively as kids have to start somewhere.  You just keep building up those milestones until you feel you can swim all day.

Very nice pictures Holly

Sorry I haven't been posting my usual volume.  Crappy weather, wife has strep throat, kids had strep throat 2 weeks ago so I assume I will get it soon waah, waah, waah...

if the wind sits down it can be awesome.  if, ok really when, the wind picks up it swirls.  that's when it get fun.  especially on Seawall. 

Way to go, Andy!

X2 congrats on the accomplishments.....
and now for even bigger news.......... Hello Dancers!!! Nice Pics Holly..Seems like a great way to cross-train if you ask me.

Andy:

I don't look at as if I am a slow swimmer. (Glass 1/2 empty) Rather, I have LOTS of room for improvement!  (Glass 1/2 full). Am will probably see more results working on my swim right now than anything else.

While I will ease up somewhat next week for the tri on saturday, the next one is only 2 weeks later with my first OWS and a longer distance to boot. So I will probably keep at a target of 6000 yds/week swimming.

My parents are coming to town today, so I will have to work around their visit to keep up my training. I am hoping for an hour on the bike tonight and 1/2 hour strength and yoga.

Tomorrow early AM is a run and then another PM bike.

I have no plan per se right now just trying to work my weaknesses while building speed and endurance.

BTW: Does tdk.teacher know that he is boosting our page count? I blame him for interfering. Now we have to start over again!

It is funny we have so many pages and quite amazing that most of them revolve around training.  There was a group last time that crushed us on page count but whenever I looked at their posts it was mainly chit-chat like you see in the challenge forums.

Holly:

The pictures are from "Sinnercon." Is that short for Sinner convention? Just what is your other hobby anyway?

NICE CATCH!!!!   Fellas (this includes you tracy)  go light up her inspires for more pics!

NICE AVATAR BUG GUY!!!!!

I"M YELLING A LOT TODAY!!!!

Nice to have an avatar for you Reuben

Exactly what I thought to myself when I saw that, Doug.
You can't beat the pirate wench look.  It's a Halloween favorite of mine.

Reub:

Looking at your new avatar I don't think I want to see you in your pirate wench get-up! LOL!

Did you have to look up the spelling or did you know off the top of your head?

And I quote, "Hey everyone what is a person called when they study bugs?" A what? Ok, I'l google it for spelling!

So suzy what do you do for Marathon nutrition and fueling?

I realized I have gotten really slack this year and doing everything off reserves which isn't a good idea and really not possible in a Marathon which would be the longest event I have done.  I am really shooting for right around 4hrs(would love to be just under but not counting on it for my first)

I have no problem with gels while running, I stick with chocolate ones, which is funny because I normally am not a chocolate fan but other gels taste too sweet and fake where chocolate gels just taste like chocolate.

I can drink from a squirt bottle while running, but pretty much have to come to a stop to drink from a cup or I just splash it everywhere.

I have used sport beans and some other shot block type stuff also and they all seem fine also.

While I guess I could just go with the solid foods, I really don't want to have to carry them for 26 miles.  I ran my 1/2 with a fuel belt with 2 small bottles of accelerade one gel at the 6.5 mile mark and some sports beans every mile or so.

I thought about infinit but obviously can't carry enough for the whole race, maybe could do some conentrated stuff and squirt into cup but then I pretty much have to walk to drink it.

Official training starts in a few weeks and I want to use the nutrition for the whole plan so trying to get a plan figured out.
