It's nice to have finally met other, local triathletes. I still haven't participated in a group event but that'll be coming soon. |

Now, look above the buttons for all the stuff (Programs, Articles, Races, etc.) at the top of the page. I'm not sure what that first little icon is (circle with some colors in it), but the second icon is "Settings". If you click on that, you'll get to your control panel. Luckily, when you get there, it looks pretty much the same as before! How'd that feel? Trishlufferly - 2009-04-06 7:02 PM maxmansmom - 2009-04-06 5:23 PM Ok, I give up ! You guys, where the he!! is my control panel button ? Check out the "settings" icon at the top of the page and see if that gets you what you want! It's going to take awhile to figure this new format out! I can't find a settings button either ......see this is why I can't take change ! I SUCK AT IT ! lol Well no freaking wonder i can' t find it, it's the size of a gnat !!!!!! THANK YOU for calming me dow.....lol and showing me where the friggin little wrench dealie is ! LOVE YOU !!!! |

Regular 324 Calgary,AB | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) lufferly - 2009-04-06 5:06 PM [ The Yankz that have require no adjustments once you have them tightened correctly. You should just be able to put your shoes on and take off, with nothing further. Too bad they didn't have the T1/T2 times broken out for you. So, when is the next race? Hmmm....good point on the Yankz... makes a lot of sense- they are elastic which means that I should just set them and then they should give to allow my foot entry into the shoe. Go figure!  I checked my bike computer and determined that my time on my bike was 41:21 which means that total T1/T2 times is 3:38 - guessing the majority was in T1 wringing out the pants. Now the next race....I would love your input...so as many of you know I had a slight error in judgement  and signed up for IMCanada for Aug 30 despite having no tri experience. (Does being married to one count? ) It was just so inspiring watching and dh signed up again as did other friends. Would you buy peer pressure? LOL Anyway, I am committed- or should have been committed- to an institution that is... so just trying to get some good experience beforehand.So my options (including hesitations/considerations) are: May 24th Try this Tri super-sprint (pool swim) – Signed up for 5k trail race May 23rd May 31th KGH Sprint (pool swim) – Signed up to run BIG relay (15mi) June 6th and not sure I want to race 3 weekends in a row June 20th Chinook Olympic (lake swim) – conflicts with a 5k trail race (oops but I would forfeit trail race) July 12th Osoyoos Half (lake)- Intimidating as it is a VERY hilly bike- though covers much the same course as the IMC so would be good practice-I figure that this will either psych me up or psych me out! Aug 9th Chaparral Olympic (lake) Aug 16th Strathmore Womens Sprint (pool) Aug 30th IMC- SIGNED UP PLEASE HELP!!! I really value your thoughts on this one! Thank you!!!! |

Champion 7546 Santa Cruz, California | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) kew - 2009-04-05 6:33 PM My time was not as good as I hoped. I dressed way too warm and should have brought something to drink (no aid station). But, it turned out to be a warm and sunny day (big change from April 1st when we had snow). Now that the days are getting longer and the weather is now getting warmer (hopefully) I will have to get out and run more and hopefully improve my time. Next race is in June (10K) Karen....dang girl...you are one racing fool! FABULOUS JOB! so what race you doing this weekend? haha....you probably are doing another one! KIU! sooo proud of our new teamies! hope to catch up more with you when I return. How did everyone else do? Hope everyone had a great weekend. maxmansmom - 2009-04-05 1:22 PM Good luck with your race on Saturday Jules & Lisa!! Same for you on Sunday Yvonne & Karen!! HUH ?....How did I miss some of these racers ?........... HOLY COW how did all of you do ?

No, doing a triathlete is not the same thing as doing a triathlon! Honestly, I think that zero-tri-to-IM in one season is crazy but I hope you know your body and know what you are capable of. What's your base like now? Getting in an Oly and a HIM before the IM would make sense, but scheduling them in might be quite difficult. While you might be able to do sprints on back-to-back weekends you're gonna want to leave increasing weeks between longer races, with probably a good month before the IM. Some people say that you can treat a sprint in there as just a tough workout day. I would recommend that you check out the IM training plans here on BT for more insight. Good luck! |

Champion 7546 Santa Cruz, California | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) MDHillSlug - 2009-04-06 8:51 AM Good morning, I continued the work of remaking my swim stroke. I didn't feel like doing drills today but I still concentrated on getting more of a catch up timing to my stroke (thinking "reach then replace"  and also trying to improve my hand entry into the water. It's all still something I need to be consciously thinking about. Unfortunately, when I concentrate that much on this I'm forgetting my normal breathing pattern  THey say that it takes more than 10000m of swimming with a change before it really gets set. If so, I'm about 2/3 the way there. way to keep working on that! will have to pick your brain when I get back...definitely need to improve there.....my brother n laws....brother was a 3 time national swimmer and a coach and has all the stuff to film in the water...and may be able to give me a TI class and swim help! HOPING SO!!!! |

'lyssa-gator - 2009-04-04 4:00 PM i ran again. i am starting to feel a littl bit more like my self. yay! i decided that i am only going to allow myself to drink diet coke on the days that i run. that way i'll either run more, or conserve coke. LOL BUT i ran today, so i get coke. I have an idea then, I HATE DIET COKE.......so if I do not run or do exercise I should have to drink one on that day ! LOL So glad you got out to run adn that you get a drink you like !! LOL seriously Lyssa...you do what it takes to get Lyssa back to where Lyssa needs to be...if it means drinking cokes...you go girl...drink up! hoping you are still going forward and out running or biking as we speak...seems to be rainiing all over California now...wondering how Seattle weather must be!?!? Im with you Julie...diet coke leaves a nasty aftertaste to me....but that is a good thing...now if I could get that taste in other cokes, margaritas, and some beers would probably be much skinnier and would not want one soooooooooooooooooo badly..... |

I love it. That movie was AWESOME, by the way. You all are assigned to see it! I saw it a few weeks ago. It was a bit different from what I expected but it was VERY good. I think I am one of a few that have not seen this! but will while I am here! did watch Seven Pounds last night with my mom...was great! we were rather confuzled for the first part of the movie but really liked it but pull out the tissues if you are going to watch it! saw Marley the night before....cute but sad! |
