December's "Get Your A$$ On The Trainer" challenge! (Page 12)

Bad choices you????

Max I did 10 more minutes on the trainer to spin out my legs.

Got 'em!  Everything is up to date here, including the addition of a new challenger, fitby40 whom I've added to the list.  She does not have public logs at this time, but that may happen.  For now I'm updating her minutes from a PM that she'd sent me with her times over the past 4 days.  Welcome Carolyn!

18 min. to midnight and I got my 30 min. in - Not hung over but a little tipsy.....xtra points...burp...?

85 minute spin class this morning. Did my usual 10 min wu b4 class, but class started late so Tony could help some German lady that couldn't speak English and had never spun b4 set her bike up.

Good stuff!  Just as a general FYI, I'll try to keep checking everyone's logs even though I've been having problems with the cable (TV and internet) signal coming into the house all day.  Right now I have web access, but I'm never sure when it's going to go down again.  So I'll get what I can today and if I'm unable to get on later this evening, I'll log on from work tomorrow afternoon and catch up with the log totals.

First cross race in the snow for me today..man it was so much fun like being a little kid and playing on a bike..this is why we do this fun cool fitness stuff.

Depends where you live but in NE they are listed on bikereg.com under cyclocross.

Hard thing to race cross is you probably need a new bike as road bike you can't put on wider tires to grip because brakes won't allow it. Normal 700x23 tires would be a disaster on a cross course. If you have a mountain bike that is a bike you can use but they are much heavier.

One more weekend of racing cross this year unless I go south in January. Saturday I plan to do a cross race in Wrentham and then maybe CT Sunday as a final race.

I have more fun racing cross than tris...no pressure, just goof around and have a crazy time...very laid back atmosphere and easy for spectators to watch as laps take 7-11 minutes and they are right next to the action.

If you race with a mtn bike, are you in a separate category?

Not in MA. Some areas in the country have a mtb class.

Bike racing categories are so different than tris. I raced this weekend against women younger than my oldest kids...so 17-64 year old women all race against each other...ahhh guess who wins? I like the 5 year groups in tris. At cross nationals they do 5 year age groups for national champions. I'm thinking of going in '10 when I'll age up to the 50-54 AG. 

I got you on the log Jen...nice rides!!

Thanks, Max!

How does the weight loss bonus calculated?  At the end of the month? 

Weigh yourself each Monday.  I don't need to know your actual weight, just how much you have lost since the previous week.  The bonus will be 100 points for each pound lost over the previous 7 days.  You can put it in your log, or PM me with it, or post it here.  Your log is probably the best!

QueenZipp - 2008-12-07 8:18 PM huh?  I thought I posted my ride....another 68 min Maxiliciuos music with about another lb lost too

Hmmm, let me check, I probably just missed it!

Sounds good.  I'll put it in my log and probably end up posting it here, too.   

The results of the first week, well through 9:30 PM EST at least, there might be a few stragglers that I'll catch before tomorrow morning.  Weigh in day!!!  Post any weight loss in your log somewhere, or otherwise post it here and I'll figure in the bonus points!
