Razorxp & KC Mentor team RFP CLOSED (Page 13)

Coach - next time you're here try out River Mountain Trail...its a paved road for Bikes, runners, walkers etc. There are only 2 small parts of the ride that you have to worry about cars.

And if its been a while since you've been to Vegas there is a new resort called the M. Their buffet and resturants trumps all the other buffets in town. Must see next time anyone comes to town. I havent been to the Rio since they opened. And yeah early I was talking about the new kids movie the Rio.

Great job!!  That's the reason I'm not pushing my wife to try triathlons.   Then we'd both have to try to fit training in and all the other expenses.

Hey Team.

Just go off the phone with my new heart doctor - have to go for a stress test on Thursday afternoon to do some more checking and follow up on my weird heart valve I told you about late in our last forum.  A bit down in the dumps about it. He figures I should have no problem with it based on all the stuff I do. Sure hope he is right - I have a long way to go to get better at the swimming thing and I don't want any set backs! .

Jen - don't let Coach give you a hard time - I try my wet suit on at home as well except I am not brave enough to take a picture and post it - although I think it is just as flattering as my red spandex - LOL.

One very important lesson I learned fighting cancer - don't borrow trouble.  The mind will convince me all is lost without any facts to back it up.  I learned to stay in the moment.  I got so good at it I had to write down doctor appts or I would forget about them.  If there is nothing to do but worry, go do something else.  

Oh, I would bet good money that he's right--doing what you do without having chest pain, you should have absolutely no problem.  And geez, we ALL have a long way to go with the swimming...  I bet you get a thumbs up/go ahead from the doctor.

Scott that is how I try to deal with things: "it is what it is" I try to control what I can and just deal with what I can't. 

Thanks Team.

Coach - it is the same heart Doctor - but new to me (only a couple weeks now that I have had one LOL) so I call him new. After this Thursday however I am hoping to call him my old heart doctor .

IceMan and Coach - thanks for the clarity of thought - you are the best.

I will keep you all posted on how I make out Thursday. As for right now, I got a bike and a swim to do! 

KC

Bike down - swim here I come.

This is so good and worth watching.

Crit racing was fun.  I usually ended up getting dropped pretty quick but it was a great experience.

Viszla's are Hungarian pointing dogs.  Some of the cutest dogs ever!  My Murph-man is 5 years old.  http://www.google.com/search?q=vizsla&hl=en&prmd=ivns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=n8OsTcnlL4mCsQPOj6zJCQ&ved=0CCgQsAQ&biw=1170&bih=798

Feeling great after week 1.  A little over 5 hours of training.  Supposed to do strength training and stretching tonight.  I'm in San Fran for work and not feeling motivated.  A little power nap back at the hotel will hopefully help!

Looking forward to being part of the group!

Nice to see you back Sara, where did you do the race?   Good luck training while traveling, its a pain but you can do it.

Deb thats a rough day to spend at "work", Scott posted the winners time but that is insane. A girl that runs around here did a pokey 2:4x..  She's crazy fast.  Heck my 1st half was that fast.

Not nosy I was looking for tips or ideas I haven't thought yet.  You pretty much yet the nail on the head.  I am on Astipro, Omnaris, singulair, Nasal Rinses using the Nielmed Bottle, and Zrytec.

Definitely getting into my bad season, but this past 12 months have seemed worse than normal.  I am hopeful though it is the chlorine aggravating the sinus membranes that have caused the discomfort over the past year.

Hey Team.

I hope everyone had a great day.

I did not get my swim in tonight. As I was getting ready to leave the house I got an unexpected call from my Dad. He had to rush my Mom to the hospital. She was experiencing some shortness of breath and tightness in her chest. Just a quick history, she has a pace maker that was put in last summer for an irregular heart beat. Anyway, she has a build up of fluid around her heart and lungs and is being monitored as I type this. She is resting comfortably and will probably be in the hospital for a couple of days.

I know some of you may think it is a bit strange, sharing this kind of stuff with complete strangers but I figured you would not mind if I lean on all of you for a bit of support (like I don't already LOL). Anyway, hopefully she will be in there for only a couple of days. I will be back up to see her tomorrow.

Thanks for being out there and listening.

Stay safe everyone.

KC 

Good Morning Team.

Just wanted to say hey and have a great day.

KC

KC-  will be thinking about you and your family

Charlie- yeah, that sounds about maxxed out.  Using Omnaris two sprays twice daily?  And if you think it's allergy mostly, you can take both zyrtec and loratadine/fexofenedine in the same day.

Jen- I will DEFINITELY try on my wetsuit, if I ever buy one. 

No training yesterday--got to work to find out that I was (surprise) on call last night.  Luckily it was quiet, but I didn't get anything done.   Missed a big swim and a 30min run.

Have 55min bike and 60min run today, so I probably won't be making up those workouts.
