alright for real now-i'm off to bed. enjoy the leg

NICE!!!! Thanks!!! OK. Three down! 13 more to go! Who's next!!!!!

Yay... 27 mile bike, followed by 5k in 28:15.. cooldown makes it 4.5 miles run. Off to go lift, is getting late. Did first .7 in flats... ouche gona take some getting used to.

Great job Baowolf awesome time for your 5K

i have a dumb question what is with the leg pics

We're just being goofy.

Are you game?

Joe, the penalty for not winning or losing last months challenge was that you had to put a picture of your legs as your avitar thingy under your name on left there. The team Allysa was on won, but she was voyeristically anticipating in a kind of avoidance avoidance conflict putting a pic of her legs up for all to see. So then when she didn't lose she felt a burning desire not only to post her own leg shot, but to entice everyone else to. So it is a cary over from last month's challenge. Or at least that is my best guess.

No offense intended in that Alyssa, if you took some it wasn't intended, I try to not discourage women from showing off their legs as a genearl policy. /em smirk, puts on his most inocent face...

GO TEAM - I felt like crap this morning but still went out for my swim. I felt better for a while and now feel like crap again.

no offense taken steve although, i have to say (innocently) there was no burning voyeristic desire there (innocent smile) i was just trying to entice YOU to follow suit (coy smile)
that being said. NICE 5K time! especially after the vicious biking! i might be SLIGHTLY faster than you running, but after i bike, i'm practically worthless, AND you'd kick my butt on the bike ANY DAY. (and no i have no burning voyeristic desire to show you my butt-so don't ask )

dh working OT this morning, so i'm stuck until afternoon. but this afternoon i think i'll do the same thing i did yesterday, jog a bit, then head to that flat spot and sprint my guts out.

go team hippos!!

So I called home to talk to my wife and she instantly commented on how sick I sound.

I am afraid she might put me on restriction and not allow me to run tomorrow morning.

Worse, it might affect my ability to go to happy hour after school tomorrow.

ahhh, dave!!! i got nothing but sympathy for ya. sometimes (depending on the illness) a good run, with much sweating will kind of get it out of your system, but then again, so will a dry sauna.
hope you get to feeling better--don't kill yourself to run, there's always another day. and well, there's always another happy hour too

Hey, I'm the new guy on the team. Since I'm only three days into triathlon training and never done anything like this before, I hope I can do alright.

My goal is to run 40 miles in November.

I've only gotten 3.18 so far yesterday.

I slept in today, but I will probably do some running tonight. I'm finding that the hardest thing with triathlon training so far is the early hours.

Hey Vida-- welcome!  And to all the new-ish team members, too!

I have to confess a coupla things-- I'm having a hard time keeping up with all the posts and keeping everybody straight. I think the photo posts are a great idea (Nice legs and baby blues!) because they help me remember who is who!  Ha! 

Also-- I'm a bit behind in my goals but intend to put in some real swim time this weekend. So-- here's my contribution to team spirit-- I love this photo my husband snapped of my son and me with his phone while we were on vacation this summer. It's a sweet moment, yes, but I really like the way my calves look.

welcome vida!
3.18 is a great start! you'll love tri training, and you'll love everyone on here, it's a fun fun site. that being said. be careful! it can be a BIT addicting

jenna--SMOKIN' claves!! and your son looks about the same age as my oldest (7) it's definately a sweet moment, but yeah, you're right, your calves look AWESOME!!

still haven't run, still waiting for dh to get home.

Alyssa, I have been running 2-3 bricks a week for about 2-3 weeks now and the bike to run transition isn't at all bad anymore. I no longer have dead legs right away off the bike.

I used to have like a half mile of my legs being dead, then I got the tri bike and then it was only my calves for a bit and now I transition fine from bike to run with anything less than 35 mile bike.

I found that endurance is a bit iffy though, I start off fine and am chomping at the bit to up the speed a bit by the end of the first mile, but if I go faster than 6.5 mph for a 5k or much over 6.0 for a 10k I start to loose steam after the first 2 (for 5k) to 3 miles (for 10k). That is just a fitness thing. As much as I would love to go from couch to a Full Ironman in 3 months... (if wishes were horses then drives would ride)... there is the reality of needing to just be consistent, put in the time and build the endurance for a couple of years, not months.

As it is I did 3 sprint distance bricks last week on 3 consecutive days, so I am no longer worried about finishing my sprint Tri for next month. The Oly distance though.... is a different story. 25 miles on a bike is cake, but the 6 mile run afterwards... not yet.

Oh and I got the funky 5 fingered (toed) shoes lastnight with the no padding soul. They are supposed to strengthen parts of your feet/legs that regular running shoes weaken and force you into the correct running form. I did .7 miles on them and started getting a hotspot, so changed back to the running shoes again. Wow what a difference. Running shoes are like running on a matress after barefoot/tread only running. One more thing to build up endurance and calusses for. Oh well back to work.

Umm... we women like to perve at hot men body parts.... legs, abs, arms....

But it all started with the legs, so the ladies figured if they showed some... the guys might too!
