Proud Pink Peeps (Page 14)

Heh... I have a friend that teaches at a fancy, upscale gym that does karaoke spin.  She puts the karaoke DVDs up on the drop down screens.  She is actually a really incredible singer so she always sounds good.  The members, however?  Not so much . 

Exhibit C loved that.  He is singing "ride my bicycle" over and over again...

LOL - pretty much what I would have guessed

I know that no one would want to hear me sing  

Allyson- I would yell at you to get back on your bike too

Tim- a 10mile race... awesome!!! Use your bike hours as some recovery and just stick with the plan.

I made it to 100%. Now i can go to my conference in Memphis with a clear head.

Did ya know Elvis wanted a guitar for his 11th birthday. His mom said it was to expensive and bought him a guitar instead.

And I need some advice- Do I go to Graceland?  i don't really have any interest in seeing it but at the same time I feel like since I'm there I might as well.  Any messages you would like me to pass on to the King if I decide to go?

ok. time to stop scouting out running routes near the hotel and get back to polishing my paper.... yup i'm addicted to this triathlon thing. 

alrighty Pink Peeps - I went to spinning class and am now at 79% of my goal, I just need to make it to one more class by Sunday and it's all good - so, no worries

what are the rules this month about going over 100%?
 

Nice job!!  I think if you go over 100%, it counts the same for purposes of the challenge as if you did 100%.  No bonus points.  But don't let that stop you!!

I'm at 76%.  100% won't be a problem.  The hard ride was tonight, 1 1/2 hours of intervals and rest the day after my longest run ever.  I'm not dead, so I must be stronger.  I think.  The rest of my biking week is all Z1-2 stuff.  I <3 Z1. 

Yup you are right about the 100% - of course you could always up your goal!

Hi Team - just a quick reminder, we are due for a challenge update so I will get working on that.

In some parts of the world Monday was a public holiday you you have until Tuesday PM to get your results up to date before I post an update!

Happy Cycling

I just realized this would make so much more sense I could actually write. What I meant was:

Did ya know Elvis wanted a BIKE for his 11th birthday. His mom said it was to expensive and bought him a guitar instead.  

there we go... random trivia for the day 

That has to be a play on words referencing the Mardis Gras Indians.  Look 'em up.  It's pretty interesting stuff.  Jock-A-Mo was a "war" chant or something back when they would fight.  Now it's contests of song, dance, and dress at Mardis Gras. 

(Abita also named their new IPA, Jockamo.)

Ok, why did that all of the sudden come to me?  Because they finally updated this site:

Seeing my name on the start list is kinda cool/slap back to reality.  Anybody up for a 70.3 miles and a huge party in the Big Easy?

I'm game for the party, but there's something about swimming in the cesspool of Lake Ponchatrain that scears me.  I've never been able to shake some of the images of that place.

Yeah, I keep thinkin' of a report from many years ago on how there were lots of old needles and other "medical" equipment being found on the steps of the lake.  I'm sure they'll clean up the areas of entry and exit, but what do you do about floaties.  And heaven's sake, do you realize how many boats actually illegally dump their bileage in the waterways?  Well, as the daughter of a commercial fisherman and tugboat captain/owner, I know and beleive me, you don't want to know... UGH!!!!!

sesh - 2008-03-25 2:12 PM pfft... I swim in a reservoir that leaves a nice layer of petroleum film on you from all the boat fumes and such. It's so muddy it's about a foot of visibility, too. When you get on the bike and are finally dry, you are actually dirty, like you've been in a dust storm. Smells pretty good, too.

OMG!!!! A friend of mine wore a white triathlon top for a local triathlon that is held in Mobile Bay (which is just a slight notch below the gross factor from Lake Ponchatrain) and the jersey is now a nice dirty-kakhi color. She has washed, bleached, and re-bleached the jersey and it will never be the same again. Also, she forgot the jersey in her car overnight and the smell in her car lasted for weeks. For this race I am a volunteer this year just because I don't want to swim in the Mobile Bay. Last year at this tri I had a 5 minute T1 because I was too busy spitting out the taste from the water. If you ever see a person with a bottle of Listerine in her transition pack then that will be me!

how will anyone be able to tell us apart now?  LOL

OMG, that is an awesome idea.

I'll have a spare bottle of water to at least dump on myslef and get the filth off my head and face in T1.

Ofcourse, the cleanest water I swam in was in Sandestin, FL, but the joy of clean water was far outweighed by the jellyfish.

YAY!!!  I got another hour in...

BOO!!!!  It was on a spin bike

YAY!!!!  No I get to leave work and bring my bike to the shop

LATER PEEPS!!!!

ummmmmmm, somehow I can see that -

Yaaaay!

booooo!

Yaaaaaay! 

hmmmmmmm

I guess the pic of the jellyfish scared everyone away

Purple flags freak me out now.  It's quite an interesting experience to feel a horrible burning on your shoulder and back, wonder what the heck it is, then have tentacles draped over your goggles.   yeesh....

It's trainer time.... boooo
