Glad to be back with you all!!

Looks like some are stepping up to IM distance in 2013 I would be willing to share any thoughts and ideas you are pondering. Afettr two soild IM expereinces I feel like I can share information now. My first performance was not a FLUKE>

Have Kelly send you the PDF file.  It's like 20 something pages of drills.

Thanks. My MIL's reaction was a bit underwhelming.  That was a fun car ride home with a fuming redhead next to me.

Ha, ha, just what you feared.  Congrats on the baby ... you will be properly prepared for IMTX with lack of sleep and stress.

Butterfly wipes me out completely, I like the breast.

Yay, if I get through the next 5 weeks I get to sign up for a 5k ...    Probably skip and go straight to Goofy!

What is it with in-laws?  

That's fantastic news!!!

The car ride?  No.  We picked up her Mom on Sunday, went to her Aunt's house to swim at their pool, and then dropped off the MIL.  Afterwards Cindy mentioned her Mom was less than enthusiastic.  I noticed it too but tried to play it off as if I didn't think so.  We sent an ultrasound with some pics of the girls from the first day of school in the mail to my folks for Grandparent's Day so I'm still waiting for a reaction from them.

80's and humid for me.........we should switch.

Ooooh, ooooooh.  I'll take 80s.  I have a feeling my Oly on 9/30 is going to be 95ish. 

OK so I'm torn between being a good friend and being selfish in my training goals for Oilman.  My buddy who started doing tris with me but never really got addicted like I did is supposed to be doing his first HIM with me at Oilman.  The course has hills, well hills for us are rollers for most others, and he dies on anything not pancake flat.  I know he needs my help but this probably means me deviating from what I need to do on long ride days to make this happen.  So conflicted.  Then I get an email from him that he's "TRIed out" and can't wait for Oilman to be done so he can stop having a workout schedule every day.  IDK.  He has a 15 to 17 mph goal for the bike and a 12 min mile goal pace for the run.  It's going to be a long day for him either way.  Sorry, just venting.  I really want to nail this race and why I train with people of the same or greater ability for the most part.

Thanks.  I have one kid who loves the Cougars, one who loves the Texans, I'm just hoping I don't get a Cowboys/Horns/Aggie kid. 

Its your third one -- you have this down pat by now, right?

jarvy01 - 2012-09-07 4:54 AMI have a head cold  Hold me, please.  

Ugh Jen. Go out and get airborne and start taking mega doses of vitamin C!! And rest!!!

Relax and rest.

Remember there are things you can control and things you can't control.  This is something you can't control.

I know you want to help, but you've also put in a lot of work to achieve your goals.  I think you can be encouraging without compromising your goals (e.g. parallel play -- sometimes Shaun will bike with me, we ride out together to a loop and then I go off at my pace, we get to see each other on the loop, ride the same amount of time and then ride home together).

Uh . . . no.
