PowerPuff Girls (Page 14)

Lots of the tris I do are in the 200 - 500 range.  I did the NYC tri last year and that was the biggest one that I've ever done.  It was lots of fun.  I like 3500 people

You shall be Jen.  Solely because I met you first. 

Badger Jen hitting the 17K mark!  WOO HOO!!

I wish I could commute to work. It's only 6 miles one way. But it is Mississippi. I would probably die. Maybe one day I'll get the guts to try it. On Sunday. 

When no one else is going to work.

After everyone's in church.

Then, I might not be perceived as being in someone's way.

God forbid.

Do we get pictures?

So. Spoke with my bike mechanic this afternoon. He came by to retrieve my road bike because I am unable to shift in the front. Turns out the derailleur is broken. And, the chain is stretched and worn out. And the rear cassette is worn out.

Yeesh.

So, getting pretty much a new drivetrain (crank is fine, at least) and upgrading from my old Shimano 105 components to Ultegra. 

I'm kind of excited.

It will be like having a new bike.

And I promise to take better care of her.

Really.

I guess you've been riding the bike for a while?

Stoopid weatherman   Wait...... I guess its probably a good thing you didn't get any tornados.

At least you got a workout in!  

We don't even have the spread sheet yet, so we don't know what everyones goals are.  I had to go and look at my original post to see I said 20 sessions.  Got two done already. 

Yay. Tomorrow is Friday. Finally. I was supposed to do a trail race on Saturday, but the trail's under water, so it's been postponed 'til May 9. Then, Saturday afternoon, we're going down to New Orleans to cheer on all the NOLA 70.3 folks.

I'll be the one with the Hurricane!

Have a safe trip on Sat.

2 Done?  Great Start! 

The bike is just a little over 5 years old.

I guess I've been riding more than I thought.

I don't consider myself a "real" cyclist at all. I don't understand half of what I just wrote about my bike's drivetrain.

That sounds like a blast!  Have a great trip! 

Fabulous! Only 18 to go and 28 days to do them in. You're already way ahead of the curve!

Not many here really want me infront of them on their commute. Why do they insist on honking? Like that's gonna help! I always give my best, friendliest, thanks wave. I hope it cheeses them off!

I'm pretty bike dumb.  Don't know most of what everyone is talking about on the bikes, but some of the sure look pretty sweet.

I figured I needed to get a jump on them.  My grandkids will be here for a week and chances are I may not get much running done that week. 

As long as its not the one finger salute

I hear ya though.  I always wave and smile real big even though I'm pizzed.
