Evondo's Group - CLOSED! (Page 129)

Happy Friday!!!

Good luck to everyone racing this weekend!!!  Can't wait to read all the RR's!

No huge plans for the weekend.  MRI this afternoon.  Tomorrow, brunch with my gf's and a bday party in the evening.  And hopefully getting back in the pool on Sunday.

Race??? hopefully.
Forecast is calling for below freezing at start time.
Welcome to Triathlon!!!! Bring a Parka.

Yeah back in Dallas. I was in WI and it snowed yesterday. I only brought short sleeve shirts. So glad its Friday.
#1 Of course I am staying. I am like the old college friend staying on your couch. I just wont leave.
#2 Good luck to all our happy racers this weekend.
#3 Whoo hoo for our soon to be hitched mentor, nice catch
#4 I laughed hard in the airport reading the posts. Nichole has no shame.
#5 Sweet deal on get a Bike, Silver Bullet????
#6 She may not see this for a while but I take full responsibility on getting BvDs signature changed. As stated in my goals it was to get her to remove the hatred of swimming. Through peer pressure and finger pointing and mockery I have succeded.
#7  What number was I on?

Wow, perfect tri weather.

At least you don't have to worry about over heating!!!!!!!

And this is an outdoor tri????  Yikes!!!

Back in the land of the living.  Wednesay was ROUGH!  I am probably 80% right now and will definitely be racing Sunday or at least participating   Can't let Justin and Fatty have all the glory!
Not a fan of the forced taper but I'm glad it didn't hit later and I had a chance to get better.  For the record I am a HUGE fan of Emergen'C, zinc and probiotics!  Thanfully I had everything on hand but the zinc which Ken picked up for me.  I was able to make a pretty speedy recovery considering how bad I felt Wednesday. 

Staying hydrated has been a part time job but I think it is paying off.  I'll be glad when food tastes good again.  Any other time I'd be glad for the forced diet but I know I need nutrition for the race.

Ken, the girls and I will be spending Saturday night at Justine's house or as my girls call him Mr.JustinThreeGirls.  He lives a lot closer to the race and I have to turn my bike in Saturday so after I pick up my packet and get marked we will head to his place for dinner and hopefully some good sleep.  The only drawback is since Ken and Justine are both volunteering we have to be on site at 4:30am.   I think I'll stay in the truck and have them wake me up after their volunteer meeting.

I think I will take today off again to recover and hope to get in the pool tomorrow.

So very excited for Eric and Betsy - I cannot wait to see some pictures!
Love Emma's new bike!
Dan, goodness gracious, I can only hope for some sort of heat wave from hades to melt the snow!  I HATE the cold and can't imagine doing a tri under those conditions.  I am sure your RR will be interesting.

Good luck racing this weekend everyone!

Good luck to everyone racing this weekend!

Emma have fun at the relay for life and good luck on the run tomorrow!

Thanks for volunteering JP & Ken!   See ya on the course!

Good luck Keri!

Fatty... well, he knows how I feel! HA! His mission, if he chooses to accept it... is to catch me on the swim (he starts behind me!)

Let's Rock-n-Roll!    

BTW... 2009 USAT Final Rankings are finally final... lol!

Our fearless, almost hitched, MG leader faired quite well in 2009

184 out of 2152 - Honorable Mention status- ERIC VON DOHLEN 29 - 89.49216

Congrats on a great year, which included qualifying for Clearwater!  When I grow up, I wanna be just like you (except without the CANKLES!) HA!

Race packet is in my hands... 
Forecast is 5-10 degrees above freezing for race time. At least it is a pool swim. 

brr.. Put some coffee in a thermos for after.  Have a good race

Thinking of Dan ---- can't wait to hear all about the race

Just got an email from the RD. "Due to risk of Hypothermia, T1 will be taking place indoors" Tomorrows forecast is for a HIGH of +1(34f) and over 1cm (1/2") of snow...
Canadian Triathlon season has begun....
 

NO SNOW!!! Race is done and I am beat. Sushi for dinner and then an early bed time... Next one is 6 weeks away...

So awesome that you are totally hooked!  Great race report! 

Silver streak - looks much faster with you on it!  Enjoy the great outdoors; the stationary bike SUCKS! 

Thanks!  I had such a great time today!!  I don't plan on being anywhere near a stationary bike anytime soon

Woo-hoo! Many fun rides and races ahead. Looking good!!!

Brrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Awesome job out there. I'm sure a few of us would have packed it in before the start looking at those temps. Way to go, and congrats on the 5K PR. Here's to a great season.

Nice.  Enjoy it to its fullest.
