Pro 4343 Olney, MD | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) Good Morning, Yesterday I figured out what has me upset about my tri swim on Sunday: it's the blow to my confidence. I was feeling so good and confident about my swimming and was expecting a good swim. I wasn't expecting to be fighting internal demons and the feeling that I wasn't going to be able to do/finish the swim. I am more than capable of doing a 750m OWS! On Sunday I completed the distance but not the way I expected and not without caving in to doubt. I wasn't originally planning to do my tri club's OWS on Thursday evening, but I now think I need it. |

Expert 1117 Shalimar, FL | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) Wow, everyone must be busy -- out training, I hope! I've had a coasting week -- a couple of runs, and I plan to bike after work today. It's hard to get my mind around training again. I'm running in a race on Memorial Day, and have hopes that I'll be recovered by then (and able to get some decent runs in before it, too). My legs were so heavy the last couple of days, so I decided to take today off from running and try again tomorrow. At least the soreness is gone! It's so strange -- I've never felt so unable to perform. I'm hoping the bike today goes well, then a good run tomorrow. Julee asked if anyone was racing this weekend, and no one responded. I guess that's a no? |

Pro 4343 Olney, MD | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) This morning I did my first run since the tri. I was expecting it to really hurt but it wasn't bad at all. I still have one sore spot on my right quad where it inserts on the inside of the knee but it didn't bother me while running. Tomorrow is Bike to Work Day and I'll do my bike commute and hit a rally point near work to pick up goodies and breakfast. Anyone else? |

Pro 4343 Olney, MD | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) I was planning to do an OWS with my tri group tonight after work but time, distance, and traffic prevented me from getting there on time. Google maps says it's a 45 minute drive but I was allowing an hour. Looks like I would have need 1.5 to be safe. I don't know how others do this on a work day. Maybe I have further to go. Oh well, at least I get my first quiet evening this week so it's not all bad. |

Pro 4343 Olney, MD | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) I did my Bike to Work Day commute this morning. It's my third year and the best so far. In 2007 it was cold and 2008 was cool and raining; today was warm but a bit humid. Since I knew I would be getting breakfast at the rally point I was out of the house an hour earlier than usual. I discovered that it's a much nicer experience at 6:20 than at 7:20; quieter and with less traffic. I think in the future I will plan on getting breakfast down here. |

Thanks for noticing! I can't believe how happy I look in that photo because I think it was during that awful first mile uphill slog. A 5x7 with a cool border that shows my race stats is "only" $12. That's actually kinda reasonable as race photos go  |

Master 2339 somewhere over the rainbow | Subject: RE: Girl Passing on Left (FULL) TOTALLY reasonable for a race photo!! when i did danskin, i think the cheapest photo thing was $35!! DO IT NICOLE!!! DO IT DO IT DO IT!!! |
