Hi there Pineapples!! I have not been a chatty Kathy, but I have been training. I do have a question, I am signed up for three (I know dumb) events, what if I only meet two of them? I seem to be shy of my swiming, but will more than complete biking and strength training. I will not let the team down, it is my plan to finish, but I just may have to reside in the pool until the month is over!

You can get credit for up to 110% of your goals. That would help offset any deficit you might have in one discipline or another. If you don't use up your extra, it will help the team totals. So, the real solution is.....get into the pool!!!

Great job on your swim today, btw!

I really don't want a flowery avatar next month (although there are worse ones).

I have 2 long runs and 3 short ones left in the 8 days of this month and I am struggling with motivation (and scheduling) to go do the first one.  Cry

 

How's everyone else doing? 



Wahoo! I finished my run goal on Monday, and I am nearer than I had thought on my swim and bike. Should be able to get extra credit in all three disciplines.

GO PINEAPPLES!

I got a ride in the big wide world today and it was oh so nice. I enjoyed it enormously. Can't wait to do another one next week. And I'm nearly back on track for my goals. Just my swimming to get up to speed. But I'l be AOK by next week.

Go Team!

I feel bad. Is there a way to pull myself out of the team so I don't hurt your standings. Now my mom is at the hospital and I'm here everyday and not training at all. Just wondering.

nhaefs - 2008-04-21 7:34 PM Wishing summer was here. Oh well soon enough I guess. Got another ride in today. Lets keep it up. I know that we can all reach our goals!

You and me both! Just a couple days nice enough to ride would be great. Thinking of putting in 3 1/2 hours on the trainer today and dreading it

Wow, that is one heck of a trainer ride. I can usually get myself to do it in the colder months of the year when I have everything set up and all I need to do is turn on the TV and jump on the bike but it sure gets tough when we are this close to summer. I gotta give you some major credit for your dedication. Keep up the hard work!

Well... I didn't get the trainer ride in, but the sun came out and wind died down a little so I got to go OUTSIDE for a ride YAY!!!!! I haven't actually done 3 1/2 hours on the trainer ever, but I bought a spinnerval dvd that is 3 1/2 hours long covering the Ironman Lake Placid course. I'm sure I'm going to have to do it before this challenge is over, but definitely not looking forward to it. For now I keep watching out the window for my opportunity to get out there!

sorry i havne't been around lately guys, my internet is out at home (qwest is my mortal enemy BTW)
anyway, i updated my log thing, if someone would update my spreadsheet thing, i'd be ETERNALLY greatful.
i'm still working my butt off, so i hope we're good in the standings just now, i can't check it on here, so i have no idea.

anyway, i don't know when i'll get my internet back, hopefully tonight, othewise, i'll be back on in a few days when i get to town again.

How's everyone doing? I'll complete my swim today, be way over on my run tomorrow after the race, and still working on bike and strength. I'll get there before it's over though, no worries. Hope everyone has a great day and happy training

I am on track to finish all of my goals. I should have a little extra credit in each discipline, but probably not much in the swim.

I posted these on the weightloss forum, but wanted to share them with my team. These are my 2000 and 2008 driver's licence pictures. Shocking for me to see them side by side:

Hi everyone,

still in Germany and trying to exercise whenever I find the time. I am over 100% with all my goals and 110% for biking and swimming so that will give us some extra credits.

I hope you all have a great weekend

Good morning team,

I know I'm not the most chatty here...hardly. But I'm training hard and will make my goals. The siwm will be a close one but I'll get it done too. You all have a great weekend and much luck to anyone racing this weekend.

Having a 2 hour run scheduled on the last day of the month really skews the % complete when compared to the % of the month. 

I like it so much better when I have a recovery week the last week of the month, it looks much better on the spreadsheets. 

4 days left to close the gap.
