Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() milaminute - 2007-12-31 10:54 AM How was your race, Sal? Anyone training today?? What are you up to? I taught a spin class and did serious hills and AT intervals. Tough ride but the class was packed with great energy so it was fun. Hope everyone's having a great day. Be safe tonight. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Race was O.K. I slept on and off yesterday morning until 1pm. Wasn't feeling the greatest. Ran with Cindy for about 100 yds, and started to feel a little better and took off. She gave me a hard time about that, because I told her I might run the race WITH her. Felt o.k., but DEFINITELY knew I couldn't push it...(my goal was to not throw up |

Thanks! Appreciate it! Welcome Brett and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! (we've got another troublemaker in the group)...sorry I didn't call this weekend. We took my dad to urgent care...he's sick too, but at 73, colds affect him more than they do me... So, we gonna race at Lifetime? Any bets this year? |

(ooh, that rhymes. that is now copyrighted by freshwater productions, a divison of noz inc. all transcriptions, notes in blog, or utterances at parties without the expressed written concent of noz is going to happen and there is nothing i can do to stop it.) I was scratching my head for a while thinking 'that doesn't rhyme.' It would have to be: Happy New Year everyone Oh...I guess great and 8 rhyme...carry on... |

What's everyone got planned for the New Year? I'll do my traditional New Years Day run. Typically about a 5k but I may decide to push a little further tomorrow, after all it's a NEW YEAR! Be safe everyone and have a happy new year! Let's see...take steady doses of Mucinex every 4 hours, then leave on a flight to Chicago...yes, bummer...I have some project work to do early tomorrow... |

Hate it when that happens --- nice ride to make up for it though 35 miles --- that's 65% of my goal for the entire month -- you're an animal ---- sure hope it's warm where you are!

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I am in So. California, so it is warmer than most of the country, although riding a bike in shorts and short sleeves in 50 degree weather seems cool enough to me. |

(ok just on the return, but I need the emotional boost! Kidding aside, what do you mean by a naked Z2 run??? I think I should just leave you wondering on that! When you hear people refer to running or riding "naked" around here and they are not referring to an actual nude event (yeah, there are clothing optional 5Ks and triathlons), it means without the use of technology... HRM, bike computer, GPS, etc. In my case today I ran without wearing my heart rate monitor because I am taking some medication that can cause my HR to be somewhat erratic so I wanted to run by rate of perceived exertion without worrying about any spikes in the data on my HRM. Nice job on the run in those tough conditions |

I showed up to teach a spin class recently wearing flip flops and having forgotten my mtb shoes. Oops. Looks like you pulled off a great ride despite the rough start! |

Any insider info on which tri club would be good to join? I'm very green. So much so I'm pretty much right off the couch still (even though I've been trying to get up for 2 months...) I lived in Saratoga Springs near Lehi. I only know of 2 "organized" clubs, the Timp Tri Club in American Fork and the Desert Sharks based somewhere in Salt Lake. Desert Sharks is the biggest of the two. I know the leadership team at Timp Tri very well, as my race production company (when I had owership) managed their annual Icebreaker Triathlon. They are a great bunch. I don't know many of the Desert Sharks, but the few I've met seem to be really good folk! Hope that helps! I was wondering where in Utah that you might be.
I'm in South Jordan, at the south end of the Salt Lake Valley. It turns out I know someone who's in the Desert Sharks. Actually, I think she's currently the pres. I had no idea she tri'd until a few weeks ago, though. Weird. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() The only challenge for me this month is just trying to stay on a consistent schedule. I am mostly back to normal after a fun filled New Year's Eve/early morning celebration. Got in my run and swim today. My son's getting the ear tubes and adenoids removed in the morning. So I'll be comforting him tomorrow, but that is more fun than training any day. Hoping to get back in the gym on Friday. |

I've been there, done that... it is amazing to me how fast the procedures are and how quickly kids recover from it. |
