| Member 5 | Subject: RE: marymosc13's group THE V.A.M.P.S., FULL Hi Everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself as the new girl on the block! My name is Sue and I am very excited to join the VAMPs. Thank you, Mary, for letting me in even though you are technically full. And congrats to eveyone on winning the Feb challenge!! Whooo hooo!!! A little about myself: I have been stuck at 29 for about 5 years now (ha ha you do the math) and live in New Jersey with my husband. We have no children yet but we are VERY avid scuba divers. I contract in the pharma industry as a validation engineer and, in fact, I am starting at a new contract this monday which happens to be further from my home. This is ironic to me because on Monday, I also plan to start the 20-week olympic tri training program from this site. My specific goal for 2007 is to complete the NJ State olympic tri in under 3 hours. Timewise, that's a pretty lofty goal. I am not a fast athlete in any of the three sports. That's why I am starting early!! This will not be my first tri...but it is my first olympic distance. And it will be my first in about 6 years. I don't really remember why I stopped racing but I did enjoy it so back into the saddle I go. Last summer / fall I dropped over 30 pounds on a fun excercise program that my friend helped me build and on a careful diet. I have taken it easy this winter (which is part of the reason my log is pretty blank) with both eating right and working out. Haven't gained anything back but starting Monday...the diet is back on too. So good luck to all of you with your goals this year. I am looking forward to becoming an active member of this group and hopefully helping with some future challenges!!! Sue |

| Regular 89 Lone Star State | Subject: RE: marymosc13's group THE V.A.M.P.S., FULL No exercise for me this week. My husband is in the IRR and got his activation notice & orders this week. It is quite a shock. He was in the reserves for almost ten years and then active for four. He has only been home for 16 months and was just getting back in to the swing of things. It has been a crazy week! |

| 19 | Subject: RE: marymosc13's group THE V.A.M.P.S., FULL Welcome Sue and hello everyone. I have been in my own world. I find that it silly but I was struggling just to get my exercise and work in to get through last month, I would jump on and log my minutes because I did not want to hurt the challeneg. Although I am sorry I did not send personal coaching responses. I am soo glad the month is over. I did not make my mini goal of ten punds off. I exercised everyday except a couple but I seemed to eat whatever and whenever. Darn those girl scout cookies..... ALTHOUGH I LOVE THEM!!!!!! I restarted Weight Watchers and am hoping that with the exercise will make a difference.. Bariachtor- Your family is my thoughts. WIll send all my good juju and thoughts your family's way. Mary- I am sorry about your leg..... Here is to a great month!!!!! Jenny |

Master 1381 Clifton, NJ | Subject: RE: marymosc13's group THE V.A.M.P.S., FULL hey all, thanks to my sister - yours truly is (and others in my family are) getting a chance for a one-on-one with a woman who finished ironman florida this year. she's a pro triathlete, has sponsors and everything and is a police sergeant w/my brother in law(s) (yeah, two cops in my family!) anyway, this saturday she's coming to my parents house to give us tips and advice for our training and race schedules. why am i telling you this? its so you can use me! if you have a question for someone who's done an ironman and lived to tell about it, fire away! nothing is off limits... no such thing as stupid questions here, i mean it... anything and everything is game. just post it here or PM me...it can be about cycling, swimming, running or all three - and she knows her stuff, obviously. so give it some thought, but get me the questions by friday night okay? hope everyone is doing okay! hugs all around -mary Edited by marymosc13 2007-03-06 6:09 PM |

| Member 32 | Subject: RE: marymosc13's group THE V.A.M.P.S., FULL Hey - that would be cool Mary. Have fun. I have 2 cops in my family, too. My BIL and my cousin. Another of my BIL's is a fireman. On an unhappy note - my FIL passed away yesterday so things have been turned upside down here. Not much of anything happening. I still haven't ridden my bike with my new bike shoes because it has actually been raining a lot as well. My kids are going back to school in the morning and I am looking forward to some 'alone time' on the bike. 'til later, Michele |

| 19 | Subject: RE: marymosc13's group THE V.A.M.P.S., FULL Ok so I have been thinking..... My biggest fear is the transition. I am practicing my bricks, but I am scared. Any advice on those from anyone would be great........ Any great equipment....

Veteran 242 | Subject: RE: marymosc13's group THE V.A.M.P.S., FULL OK I've thought of one. What should we spend money on and whats not so important. For instance, should we buy the best bike we can possibly afford and just get a rather cheap wetsuit? Or do we need to try and get the best of everything? Also, what about swimming? I've heard that triathletes should absolutely work with "real" swimmers, like in a masters program and I've also heard the argument that just swimming on your own is fine and that the swimming isn't really that important, especially in sprint distance... |

Definately sending out prayers for you! WELCOME SUE!! So glad to have you! We love new additions and hope you enjoy. Mary, I'm totally bummed I missed your whole question and answer thing. That would have been awesome (not that I have any intelligent questions to ask though), but I hope you had the most incredible time chillin' with the pros! What a great opportunity! Michele, your trip to the US is coming up isn't it? How exciting. The weather is BEAUTIFUL in Utah right now, so I hope it stays this way for you! My crocus's are popping up all over in the grass!
