We were up in that area a few years ago, I remember how hilly it was just walking. I have a lot of hills at home I can practice on so I'm only a little intimidated. The only thing holding me back from doing the Oly is the swim distance. I like riding hills, but not running them. You've got time to work on the swim!!! Go for the Oly if that's the only thing holding you back. I can honestly say that the swim is what is holding me back. I'm not worried about the bike at all, I can run hills, my 6.68 mile run on Sunday was all hills. The swim makes me nervous. That's why I'd like to get out and do some OWS's this year. It really is more mental than physical, so getting out there and doing as many as possible will boost your confidence. For me, my biggest concern was how slow I swim and that I'd be out there for over 45 mins. Once I got over that I was fine. I'm still slow, but I don't worry about it. BTW, I only learned to swim 2 years ago. I took a Total Immersion clinic and have been learning using TI. |

Um... guess what song I listened to and kind of liked and now have on my iPod. Hmm... do I get a hint??? I can't think of any songs that have anything to do with being on top, but maybe I'm just tired right now  Kim and Tom --> The song is Goodnight Demonslayer by Voltaire, the song Tom posted the words to when he was trying to get to 500 posts. I had made fun of the lyrics when he first posted it, but after listening to the song I liked it. That's funny because I had the same exact reaction when I first heard about the song. I thought it was really corny, but after a couple listens and the fact my son thought it was hilarious it grew on me. Glad you like it too |

Work, crappy commute, hopefully not crappy dinner, and helping kids with homework. I do intend on getting in a speedwork day as well, I'm just not sure when I'll be able to do it. Wish me luck. |

I was trying to find tri's that aren't too far away from home, that one is 2 hours. We were up in that area a few years ago, I remember how hilly it was just walking.

I'm not worried about the bike at all, I can run hills, my 6.68 mile run on Sunday was all hills. The swim makes me nervous. That's why I'd like to get out and do some OWS's this year. World's worst swimmer is right here! I have been struggling for over 3 years and finally have gotten to the point of actually being able to do what I know I should do in the water. To me swimming is the best of the 3 because it is so relaxing and therapeutic in the water but darn did it kick my butt learning. I believe my core weakness is what was killing me and I have been working on that as hard as my swim. What finally triggered it for me was when I convinced myself that I could be slow and to slow everything down and then it settled in - stubborn right? - Just don't tell Robin!! Speaking of - where is Robin and Jules????? It really is more mental than physical, so getting out there and doing as many as possible will boost your confidence. For me, my biggest concern was how slow I swim and that I'd be out there for over 45 mins. Once I got over that I was fine. I'm still slow, but I don't worry about it. BTW, I only learned to swim 2 years ago. I took a Total Immersion clinic and have been learning using TI. I do enjoy the time I get in the pool. I know most of it is a mental block. I have a wall 25 meters in front of me, I only have to swim to that wall then I can stop. When I went to college the campus was next to the Susquehanna River, we'd go out and swim across the river all the time every spring and fall. I need to find that fearlessness again. |
