Pro 4360 Baton Rouge area | Subject: RE: left.right.repeat group -closed - Full of a bunch of winners...YEAH! Hey all! I think Amy is just teasing us!!! I am so enjoying the kids out of school. This week has been so much easier. Wake the kids up later, no rush on the homework at night. Biggest issue is that the kids play so hard at camp (especially swim days) they come home exhausted. Thursdays my DD also does gymnastics and I had to pull her early last night as she was just a walking zombie at the end of class. Trying to get back into the swing of things with master swim class. 2nd day back. Pool set at 50 meters and only have to share the lane with one person. No huge distances but felt good. Working on keeping high elbows for the swim. Feels good, smoother but I am still a slow swimmer  Ended up swimming today with my backup suit. Its a bit tight but my regular suit had a small hole in the back and time to get rid of it. Picked up some Speedo jammers that supposedly last longer (has polyester in it). Person at that swim shop said they were great suits so will give it a try. |

Expert 1036 | Subject: RE: left.right.repeat group -closed - Full of a bunch of winners...YEAH! Just finished my last open water swim before Macon HIM. Times are in the log. I am almost hoping it wont be wet suit legal, I almost melted in my suit today. 2133 yrds in 39:51, not to bad, (of course there were no 5 foot waves) Good music Amy.

Extreme Veteran 750 Long Beach, Mississippi | Subject: RE: left.right.repeat group -closed - Full of a bunch of winners...YEAH! In 9 days, I'll be riding my first Century in Lake Tahoe... I can't believe it's almost here! June 2nd is National Running day... so I'll probably start running again on that day - is there a better time to start? (probably after the Century ride - oh well  ) |

Regular 82 Indiana | Subject: RE: left.right.repeat group -closed - Full of a bunch of winners...YEAH! Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend! I got my first finish line of 2010 this morning. I didn't stick around for the results, but I think it was around 1:23 for a 12K. Thanks for the push to find a finish line by the end of the month. It was so hot this weekend that I wouldn't have done it otherwise, and I'm pretty happy with my time. Billy - just because you're learning to breathe on both sides, don't feel like you have to breathe L,R,L,R. I'm a good bi-lateral breather, but I just prefer to breathe every 4 strokes. I switch it up every couple of sets just so that both sides stay comfortable, but I don't like to breathe every 5 strokes, and sometimes every 3 is too much. The reality is that you won't be switching sides that much in your race anyway - most likely one side will be the correct side for one direction, then you'll want to switch for the trip back. Just my 2 cents - and someone else may have already said it. I know my training log is lacking. I need to take some time and log everything. I've been doing OK with the workouts, but my HIM program is increasing quicker than I'm finding the time - especially now that 11-5 is SO hot out. We have a long ride scheduled with a group tomorrow. I'm nervous about the pace that they'll set. My husband is going to come in case they want to drop me. I don't know them well enough to have any of them stay back with me if I need it. We'll see. Worst case: I ride with my husband tomorrow, and that's not so bad  |

| Extreme Veteran 1338 | Subject: RE: left.right.repeat group -closed - Full of a bunch of winners...YEAH! Nancy - great advice....while I can kinda bilateral breathe....I almost always breathe on the right....but in waves from the wrong direction it is great to know I won't drown. Good luck on the ride....ride your pace....no one else's....you will be fine....as you said, if they drop you, no big deal -- ride with the hubby....finish line updated - great job Billy - totally agree on the cold vs heat....although it is hot pretty early this year.... sTRIve |

Expert 952 Chicagoland | Subject: RE: left.right.repeat group -closed - Full of a bunch of winners...YEAH! Billy, I love you! You are awesome :kiss: !! I DO think you could maybe show up like that in front of the loser house and we could sit on the curb and drink beer... hehe Damon actually thought of sitting in our driveway and cleaning his rifle so Ryan could see it.... Bryan, in this case, Billy is totally not giving the southerners a bad name-quite the contrary!! If you haven't had a chance to see my log, our loser neighbors' son and his buddy broke into our house and took a bunch of stuff...more than once, before we noticed. i'll post an update on that in a minute.... Amy, that music is ROCKING!!! HAHHAHAA Ok, I have a finish line. Ran the Soldier Field 10 yesterday, finishing on the 50 yard line on the field. It was AWESOME! The weather was hot, though I didn't think THAT hot (76, but almost no wind)... they actually canceled the race in the last mile or so.. I was right at the 9 mile mark when they announced to walk in.. I just said, "Yeah, right!" and kept on running. Not a PR, couldn't get the pace i wanted, but a fun race anyway! I was planning to run a 10 miler tomorrow (still am), but my MIL broke her foot and i just bought her entry and decided to do both. My SIL did it, too, so it was a lot of fun to do it with fam again.. The timing chips were strips on the underside of the bib, and hers and 67 other ppl's didn't read at finish, so all she got was a 5 mile split time. sucks. Doing the Elgin Fox Trot 10 miler tomorrow... |

Expert 952 Chicagoland | Subject: RE: left.right.repeat group -closed - Full of a bunch of winners...YEAH! A quick update to my original robbery post. As it turns out, the scumbags took a bunch of my jewelry, as well. I somehow never noticed the first time we discovered stuff missing... maybe I was just in shock, I don't know. They tool 13 pieces that I know of, and among them, 4 famiy heirlooms-a ring that my Mom bought like 40 years ago and gave to me, 2 rings that my now deceased dad gave me, and a ring my Mom bought me for my 21st bday. Those weren't really expensive, but they were beyond priceless to me. They really hurt and I cried a lot  Other stuff sucks, but I don't care about it, it's just jewelry..(even though it still adds up). So.... an informant told the detective on our case that Ryan (the neighbors' son) told him point blank they broke into our house, so then the police was just looking for evidence. THen, the other guy turned in our Wii with everything they took (3 controllers, 2 guns and 2 wheels) as one package to Game Stop, didn't even have the smarts to at least split it up. STOOOOPID. anyhow. They are failry certain we'll get the Wii back. Ryan also got flagged for pawning other ppl's jewelry. So, at this point, Ryan will be arrested on Tuesday, likely.. and the other guy is already incarcerated (i think he was busted on smth else, idiot), but isn't saying much at this point. The detective is hoping to use them against each other. We are also hoping something will come back on those prints. Damon replaced our gun and we'll have it on Tue. I have to say, I will feel a lot better once we have a gun in the house-and I'm competely ANTI-gun...what a freaking mess. |

Pro 4360 Baton Rouge area | Subject: RE: left.right.repeat group -closed - Full of a bunch of winners...YEAH! Morning all! Another fun night at the GaryM's place. DS was sick, off to urgent care, fluids, anti-biotics, etc he is better but still has a bit of a fever. Up to 1am last night. Today will try to get some more stuff done around the house. Hot/humid means I don't get a lot done outside. Yesterday ran over to two of the local LRS' to get replacement running shoes for DD and DW. They didn't have any shoes my DD liked at the first store so it was off to the 2nd. She finally found a pair of running shoes that were acceptable (right colors). Lena - Bummer about this whole situation. Unfortunately I doubt the idiots will learn their lesson but at this point as long as they are in prison it doesn't matter. Congrats on the finish line! LRR - With you on the bi-lat breathing but I am finding that on point-2-point swims that bi-lat breathing can be used for sighting also if you have landmarks to spot on either side. Billy - You will rock that HIM! Wish I could be there to see you cross the finish line! As for the cold, I love wetsuits so 70 degree water is what I hope for. Try using the bi-lat to sight with (to a certain extent). If there are no landmarks you can see, look for other swimmers to help judge. You will have to look forward but not as much. Nancy - congrats on the 12k! Nice job. Hope you have fun on the ride today. Amy - (in my best Alice Cooper voice) School's out for summer (add rock beat here) School's out forever Diane - good luck on the Century! Edited by GaryRM 2010-05-30 8:37 AM |

| Extreme Veteran 1338 | Subject: RE: left.right.repeat group -closed - Full of a bunch of winners...YEAH! Billy - sorry to hear about the crash. How is the road rash? You gotta watch that sh&*(t...it is bound to get infected. Let me know how bad it is.... RR from today....did the oly at the CapTexTri today....the swim course was long, the bike was good and the run was brutal. It was way hot by the end. Longest oly swim I have ever done....by over 8 minutes. The bike was windy (not too bad - this is not a complaint)....but OMG the run got HOT HOT HOT.....There was crap in the lake - tree limbs, leaves, moss, sticks, grass, it was not a bad swim, just long....I will tell you something funny - there is an old bridge that was removed years ago. HOwever, they cut the bridge abuttments off a few feet under the water....two years ago, the lake was low and I run aground - on my chest....scared the poo out of me.....I shared that story with a few newbies today...they told me later they were really glad because they would have freaked when it happened today.....all in all....almost 2900 triathletes.....three race distances....thirty some odd wave starts.....over three hours of starts.....I was in the third start....I can only imagine how hot it was for the last few starts.....however those were a super sprint..... Have I mentioned lately how lucky we all are to be able to do this.... Tomorrow or Wednesday - your personal assignment is to say thank you to somebody - somebody you normally wouldn't say thank you too.....whoever it is - make them feel special..... have a great week B |
