Ernesto's group (4th season) - Closed (Page 15)

Mitch and Scott, good luck this weekend.  Hope the rain holds off.

Right now we have 25-30 mph winds and predicted rip currents.  It's possible that the sprint swim will be cancelled tomorrow.  We'll have to wait to see if I get to swim in the OLY on Sun.  Very excited, I'm working the finish line at the sprint tomorrow.

Ernesto, what new toy?  Did I miss something on the forum?

Just officially signed up for my first Sprint - June 23rd.  Really excited that they are offering a triathlon workshop the weekend before as well.

In the meantime a friend and I signed up to run the Dirty Girl Mud Run (think Tough Mudder series - but shorter).  Super stoked! 

Good luck to all running this weekend.

More later....

Congratulations Mitch, that is a great time and big improvement from your past PR!

Nice Job Mitch!  Sorry I missed you at the finish line I was a couple of mins behind you. Didn't stick around for the wet ceremonies.  Ran 3:40.  Not stellar, but better than last year. 1:45 out and 1:55 back.  Kind of imploded at mile 23.  Oh well plenty of time to make amendments at the Detroit Marathon in six months!

Jim-  Mitch and I have decided that you need to come down and run the Motor City with us.  Need help finding the registration site?  j/k

Great time and great meeting you this morning!

My last 3 miles weren't a thing of beauty either.  Walked a bit and hated those wooden bridges...felt like they absorbed every footstep.  Much hillier than I expected and really didn't need the head wind on the way back in portion.  

Scott, congratulations on achieving a great time in your marathon (at least for my standards!) What was your target and what is your PR?

Mitch, great time! Congratulations!!!

Scott, awesome time by standards as well! Congratulatios!!!

Sharon, I can almost feel the excitement. Few more months and you will be officially a triathlete.
That Tough Mudder souns like fun too!

Mitch, congratulations! DRINKING THE KOOL AID PAID OFF. 4'25" Over the best half is a huge improvement. Kep'em coming buddy.

Scott, great time as well. Don't beat yourself up, if you don't blow up on mile 23 you're not human.

7 Seconds that is what I missed my PR by this morning in the Blue Bell 10K.  I wasn't going for a PR at the start though so I'm not dissapointed.

47:44 was my time and the last 3/4mile had a pretty big hill at the end.  I moved my long run (80min 9.3miles) from Saturday to Thursday so maybe if i hadn't done that I would have PR'd.

Overall a good week, though the weight is not really coming off.  The wife says I look slimer though so who knows. 

Long ride tomorrow 40miles steady state.  First Tri of the season in 3 weeks!

Mitch, Scott & Mike - Great races.  PR's are what we all hope for, but sometimes they are just out of reach.  

Remember that 99% of life is just showing up.  You guys did a lot more than that!

Sprint swim cancelled this morning.  Winds are horrific.  Let's see what the morning brings.

Congratulations, Mitch.  Really proud of you!

Mitch great race congratulations. I checked out your garmin link great job.

I will see if I can. We have several family things going on around then. I would love to race on the Island. I havn't been there since I was stationed there back in the 80's. I would love to show it to the kids. Are you doing the sprint or the olympic?

Great time on your race.

Good job. Its fun to have the whole family join in a race.
