Team T.I.T.S. (Page 12)

Um, my arse hurts... suggestions? 

(leave them in an inspire- this thread takes way too long to load! )

Hey guys, don't feel bad that we're second to last. Remember that sucking at T.I.T.S. is a good thing. I mean, we just have to shake ourselves some more T.I.T.S., you know.

Wow cool, at least we climbed out of the cellar.  Our T.I.T.S. no longer are sagging too low, must be all that exercise! 

Updated - due to changes in the Team Ride Lots spreadsheet.

CONGRATULATIONS TO WHO'S YOUR MARMADADDY?!

BUT remember that this is only the SECOND week of the challenge! January is only 41.9% completed. There's still time to help your team achieve that #1 ranking!

So get out there and Swim/Bike/Run!... And then Swim/Bike/Run some more!

Dee and Beth

Whoops.  Sorry guys.  I just posted the update. 

Although, January isn't even halfway over, so you have lots of time left to get more T.I.T.S.  

The 'World according to Beth' will be published tomorrow, there were some delays in getting up to the minute information since the lead reporter was entertaining weekend guests among a variety of other life changin activities

Something to look forward to ( the stats are the more important part anyway - so thanks to Dee!)

You know, just because you're on the bottom, doesn't make you a loser! If is on top, if is on the bottom I don't care, I just love having around! I think it would be nice if all the picked it up and really bunched themselves up though! If the could just work together and work together I know you would get everyone else's attention! So come on you ! I know you all feel like are droopy and lazy but I'll help you all out! I like helping and if there is even one that might need my help, well darnit I help shape you up into what I think should look like!  HURRAY !!!! Kudos to whoever picked your team name!

**EDITED FOR CONTENT**

Now THAT is a pep talk... makes me feel all perky! 

Sure!  Anyone can jog lazily on a treadmill or shuffle down the street and call it "running" or drift back and forth in a swim pool.  It takes real character to get on that bike and put in those callous-building hours!  And do we regret it every time we have to do our workouts?????

Nonsense!  It's Perky People Loving Every Session!!

More T.I.T.S. !!! 

Woohoo, just found out from a friend that the local bike club is putting on a TT on Feb 2nd for 10k and 20 distances.  I may not be in ideal shape for it but this looks to be a perfect time to see what I can do.  I should do the 20k as its the same cost for either and I'm all about getting more lactic acid burn for my $.

It's all about the T.I.T.S. baby!

Rode into work today, had to wait until 9am to leave as it was darn cold this morning!  Ride home in the PM in the works...

January Challenge Week 2 (aka, The World According to Beth)

Swim, bike, run, post, post, post!  The cornerstones of the January Challenge! 

Ok, so posting really isn’t one of the triathlon sports, and really has nothing to do with the January challenge, although early in week 2 you wouldn’t have known that based on the posting activity of the Talking Tilapia Flying Fish and the Twisted Blisters!  Members of both teams took the posting challenge to heart and members of each team valiantly tried to out post each other.  They even started to resort to replying to each other’s posts within their own thread (ummmm, certainly nothing yours truly would have done) – LOL!!  Captains Kendra and Beth called a truce and started new threads and the focus is back on the challenge (although, the blisters are ahead in the post count hehehe!)

Funky-Chrono-Monkeys of the Frozen Cinder Tundra – Captain Bluejack
Be very careful when heading over to the Monkey thread to talk smack, we recently learned that they are not afraid to fling poo.  Apparently over the weekend Captain Bluejack started to resemble his avatar – ummm, you’ll have to ask him for the details.  For those running teams in the top 3 spots – (interesting how the running teams are at the top hmmmmm!) anyway – don’t write those Monkey’s off for the challenge – between injuries, colds, and vacations, they are doing quite well – I’m thinking there may be a sneak attack race to the end!

Flying Fish – Captain Kendra
No surprise that all of the Flying Fish were able to find the new thread.  If you have a burning need to learn new Fish names be sure to visit pages 44 and 45 of the first flying fish thread.  Flying Fish I, is also full of songs, pics, and posts where people are talking to themselves.  Flying Fish II has much more conversation about swimming – a few pics and some talk about football and floaters – not in the same post and NOT what you’re thinking! Happy Birthday dear Nancy, Happy Birthday to you!

Team Ride Lots – Captain Scott
A new bike for MissKelly!  Woo Hoo – that is always a fun thing – pics please???  (I missed that for last week’s update.  Apparently it’s so quiet in this thread because everyone is out riding and not posting – Rumor has it that WaterDogg66 is going to mentor the rest of the team in the art of using a computer and riding at the same time – no, no, no……not on the open road.  This activity is reserved purely for when one is on the drainer. –

Loving Every Mile – L.E.M. - Captain Lisa
Some smack talk going on between teams, and that seems to be working as this team moved up a spot in the over all rankings.  There seems to be a bit of a contest within the team around who can get up the earliest or is it who can get the least amount of sleep.  These folks always have lots of good conversation and advice around the actual topic of running – if you need any tips – this is a great thread to visit!

Who’s your Marmadaddy? – Captain Sal
The challenge within a challenge emerged this past week. Powder Puff Girls vs the Manly Men – this seems to have spurred on quite a bit of activity not just in running, but in all disciplines.  Captain Sal is now being referred to as He who shall not be named – and secret font usage is on the increase in this thread.  Oh and in case anyone is wondering as of the week 2 results posting – the men are ahead {ducking and running for cover after posting that}

Wet and Wild – Captain Jeni
Talk about some dedicated team members! Etknowles got a swim in on a day that there was ice on his windshield – ok, those folks that live in a wintery area are saying – sooo, what’s the big deal?  Well!  He swam in an outdoor pool! It was around 40 when he started and in the 50’s when he finished – brrrr – that is cold anyway you cut it, if you ask me.  Nice job on raising the team in the rankings this past week – your dedication is paying off! 

Twisted Blisters – Captain Beth
The Twisted Blisters turned in another solid week of posting and running - LOL.  Some key highlights, Hector is finally back among the living.  We’re pretty certain that it was Julie’s cure for coughing that finally brought him back (I’ll just leave it at this, I wouldn’t recommend consulting a certain pharmacist for a substitute for cough syrup.)  Some motivational pics from multiple disciplines have been posted on the thread, providing entertainment, motivation and in some cases some serious laughter.  We have team members hooking up for races, and planning to meet as folks move around the country.

Scrambled Legs – Captain 1for1
The Scrambled Legs are running along, although there has been some movement in the top three spots – it’s way to early to call it done though.  It seems that at least one member Scrambled Legs team member has the neighbors talking – I never thought about wearing a balaclava when running outside in the cold and the dark, maybe that’s because I never thought about running outside in the cold and dark, period.  They have also been exploring choices in avatars – I wonder if Dee will adopt any of the future choices?

Team T.I.T.S – Captain Max (aka keeper of the T.I.T.S)
Captain Max has special ordered BRA’s (Bicycling Resource Advisor) to help any team member who has sagging T.I.T.S.  Team T.I.T.S. seems to have adopted tupuppy and ow_lgirl as honorary team members, hmmmmm, I wonder if either of them is just in it for the T.I.T.S. – It seems that some of the team like BOOBS (Bicycling On Our Bare Streets) as an– whatever works, right!  The team has posted some pics, including some well covered T.I.T.S. and some Pom Poms – much talk about – well – I think you get the picture, and ummm, yeah – they mentioned the weather once or twice

My T.I.T.S. will be in the Hump tonight. 

(Wow, that was fun to type)

The Hump is the nickname of MS State's gym, and they're playing Kentucky tonight.  I'm letting my T.I.T.S. sag for some beer and college basketball.

too bad I already posted the world according to Beth - this would have been fun to work in - now of course, it will be completely dependent on my memory, which is sketchy at best

We are just taking our time in exposing the size of our T.I.T.S.  Don't want to intimidate any of the other teams. 

My number is 34 DD

That's 34 Drop Dead minutes in what was called a Spinning(R) class. The rest of the time, and during my commute, I had easy T.I.T.S.

I know, they are big and round and pink, huh?

I mean, the letters I put my T.I.T.S. in.

Whew, if feels good to finally get my T.I.T.S.  out on the table!  (I added them to the spreadsheet this morning.)

C'Mon Team T.I.T.S.!!!!!!!

I’ve had no honorary T.I.T.S. this week and expect to show my T.I.T.S. support tonight.

I have to scale back on my BT Time a bit due to a heavy work load and some other pressing issues.  So that I don't ignore anyone, I put my training blog into private mode.  I'll keep making sure my trainer time is logged on the Google spreadsheet and I'll check on everyone here, but you'll seeing a bit less of me for a while until things clear up a bit.
