Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() 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...

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() no offense taken steve ![]() ![]() 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!! |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() 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. |

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 ![]() |

New user ![]() ![]() | ![]() 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. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() 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. jenna (e&mbilt.jpg) Attachments ---------------- e&mbilt.jpg (36KB - 9 downloads) |

IF you are proud of your legs, by all means--post them. you'll get affirmation all over the place. IF your proud of your arms, abs, shoulders, heck-eyebrows. post that. no one has to post, if you CHOOSE to post, it can be whatever you're proud of. i've never thought i had anything so wonderful in the leg dept, but after posting, and the affirmation that followed, i reccomend posting. ![]() very true - it is good for the ego! never would have thunk it

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() 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. |

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

Dont worry about missing a days training if you arent well... you will recover better and be back to full strength FASTER if you listen to your body and take the time to recover! |
