light_sabe_r's group is CLOSED (Page 14)

Tomorrow my oldest daughter turns 10 and we're having a party at a water park.  It conflicts with my tri groups OWS, so I will miss that.  I do plan to conquer Lee Hill Road and Old Stage (tough part of my Olympic tri bike course in July) with them on Sunday, however.  Monday is the Bolder Boulder.  It's a 10K run with 60,000 of my closest friends.  It's always alot of fun no matter how well I do.  I'm actually doing it 2.5X because I'm walking back to the start (can skip half of it walking back) and will then join up with my family who will be running in a later wave.  It should be fun.

I hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend and trains hard smart

CONGRATULATIONS!  CONGRATULATIONS!  CONGRATULATIONS!

Enjoy the weekend

Nup, we don't have memorial day here.  We had ANZAC day on the 25th April and we will have the Queen's Birthday long weekend in June.    (Although it's not really her birthday...)

LOVE the jersey by the way!!!  I really like that gladiator design although the orange clashes with the pink on my bike

Carbon and Ti - Wouldn't happen to be a Quinty Lucero??  FH is trying to get me to go Ti for my next bike and after the rough road on Sir Samuel Griffith drive as I went on it today I'm almost inclined to agree!   He has a lightspeed!  Damn sexy bike.   

So where are the photos???  

I'm guessing our "Queen's Birthday" is your "victoria day"    We don't have Victoria day and the holiday is not really relevant over here.  It's a good excuse to do nothing.  Au

Well done Trina!

 Tammie: - Sucks about hubby having to work this weekend.  Hope you get your run in.  (Yeah I want a long weekend too!)

 Happy birthday to your daughter.  You'll get another chance to OWS I'm sure.  But tomorrow you'll be run raggard as you tend to your daughters friends!  EEEP!  A water park!  Hope you count that as Running  

Hey, we'll pop into your logs every now and then to give you a prod. OK?

Yeah, i'm with you. I decided that I'll try to make good choices most of the time and just enjoy the times when I don't and train, train, train.

I had a rocking holiday weekend!  I bought a road bike (Specialized Allez), enjoyed some great weather, had fun at the Indy 500, and actually got to spend some quality time with The Dude.

It's a major downer to have to be back at work today.  I think they're trying to see if they can make me snap.

Hi girls and guy,

I had a great weekend training-wise...and birthday party wise as well.  I did in fact make it up not only Lee Hill Road and Old Stage...but continued up Left Hand Canyon to Jamestown!!!  (No stopping) I wish I knew how much of a climb that is in feet so you could all understand.  My HR hit 200 on Lee Hill, though, and it was an hour of climbing with no break.  Does that help?  The downhill went much faster of course.

Then I got a new PR in a 10K run yesterday at the BolderBOULDER.  I was like 9900th place in my age group...but it's a huge race.  I do have a race report if you click it in my blog.  It's not public (my PR is still over an hour). 

Birthday party was fun, although I had a tough time avoiding the potato chips.  I never liked them until my diet had to be so restricted on sodium!  No they're always on my mind!  My daughter really impressed me this year by writing all of her Thank You notes herself...yesterday!  She's better than I am!

I hope everyone is having a great day.  Nice bike frame BCart

VERY nice.    Can't wait until you get it!   Sounds like your diet was a bit slack over the long weekend too...

Emily& Kate:  Work Tends to do that.  Sorry for not checking in on Monday and Tuesday.  Work was hell.  I spent the entire day in surgery or in the lab yesterday.  FUN!  Dawn until after dark - YAY...Kate I'm glad you've got a new job too!  Where at??

 Don't worry Swise - We forgive you! You were prepping for the tri and that's what counts GREAT work on the 5km one as well!  WOO! 

Good to hear the foot is holding up nicely Trina.    It really sucks knowing there's a tri that you should of been doing that's going on without you.  I entered the Bribie tri series last year and missed the first one because on the saturday I came down with an eye infection.  I had totally lost sight in my left eye (I couldn't keep it open) and sunglasses and goggles were a NIGHTMARE.  So there was no feasible way for me to drive up knowing I was blind and all.  Then overnight the RIGHT eye had flared up.  yay...  I was devestated!  I really really really wanted to race that race last year!  It was compounded by the fact my best friend had come to visit as well from Sydney and we couldn't do anything either except go to the Emergency room.     I hate that "I WANNA RACE BUT KNOW THAT I SHOULDN'T"  feeling....

I'll get you next time Gadget... NEXT TIME!!!!  he he he.   

Tammie & TRINA!!!!  This is a fantastic way to rationalise it.     I love this quote

Sounds like you had a great weekend Chrissy.    GREAT work!!!  

 Photos????  Brian's had his turn at show and tell now it's your turn emily. :D

Trina!!!  That's excellent.  Keep up that momentum!!!
