Master 1675 Suwanee, Ga. | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED SSMinnow - 2010-02-24 8:02 AM Soooo......WHO IS RACING THIS WEEKEND? Details people.... No races for me.  Olympic sport????? First of all it would be something in the summer games, but since this is Feb. I'll say downhill racing...Super "G", Men's Downhill, Giant Slalom. Speed, combined with strength and even though you might break some bones...heck, I do that running , unlike hockey, you get to keep most of your teeth.....and the chicks dig it!My real secret desire is to be the manager for the Swedish Women's Curling team...don't have to compete....I just want to hang out with them and watch. ....ummm watch the curling....that's what I meant. Hope those of you that are racing this weekend have a great time and awesome weather. Be safe. Steve |

Expert 1027 | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED SSMinnow - 2010-02-24 7:02 AM Soooo......WHO IS RACING THIS WEEKEND? Details people.... I would also say something like snowboard or ski cross or one of the ski racing, super g type events. My wife just told me this week that she thinks I could do really well in them especially if I had more time to dedicate to that alone. I also look at the x-country people and know how fit they are because that is really tough work they have to be in great shape. On a side note, I got to work this morning and got an email from my manager which is a forward from a business user complaining about a service and spelling out that I did absolutely nothing and keep giving them the run around, when I have had absolutely no communication with them at all. There are any number of things in this that are making my blood boil, so I am taking a few minutes off of it so I do not respond inappropriately. Had an iffy night of workouts last night, My 80 min temp run got truncated to 60 as on the 4th tempo set my knee had a sharp pain, so I eased off it and just did light running after that. The best part of the workout was that I was forcing myself to run on my toes, making my lower legs quite sore. I swam after making dinner and got through the first 1200 set, and then at about 395/1200 of the next set I got a cramp in my calf that sent me through the roof. I have never cramped so bad in my life, and my calf is just burning today. I got it loosened up and worked on it a bit last night, but it ended my swim set early. I must say the first set was stellar 1200 in just over 20 minutes, for me that is moving. I even had some difficulties with my flips, for some reason I was rotating to one side and really messing my head. I got it figured out towards the end and finished strong. Thanks for listening to me vent! |

Well I really hate to post this since my last 3 races have been cancelled but ... Dahlgren Trail 1/2 Marathon. From the race site itself: Race Alert - the Dahlgren Rail Heritage Trail is runable. Only 6 spots remain before race reaches capacity.The Race will be run as scheduled. Check Trail Conditions with race listing. So lets all keep our fingers crossed! |

No races for me this weekend but hopefully it'll be nice enough that I can get the bike out and go for a real ride! The stationary bike at the gym is just not doing it for me anymore  .Olympic sport - I think it'd be fun to try snowboarding or cross country skiing. I've been skiing once in my life and it wasn't pretty, but if I could eliminate the hills, I think I might enjoy it. My husband was saying last night that he'd like to try the bobsled. I'm not big on speed (should be obvious given my average pace for running and biking  ) so don't think I could do something like that.Thanks for the advice on the wetsuit. I was concerned about feeling restricted in a full sleeve which is why I was asking about sleeveless. I'll have to see what they have when I get there. Janet |

Master 1952 Guelph, Ontario | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED soccermom15 - 2010-02-23 10:43 AM Morning guys! Sorry about the little rant yesterday. I'm not sure why it bothered me so much - I'm not, and have never been, a competitive person (at least I didn't think so Full body suit. But it is up to you what you want to use. If most of the time you are going to be swimming in cooler water then the fuyll sleeve might be better. You're going to be busy in the water and that will keep your arms warm except when the water is very cold. For short distances this won't be a problem as you won't be in the water long enough to get a bad chill. The worst part is the intial entrance into the water. If you don't want to self warm you had better make sure you pee before you put your wet suit on. |

No racing for me thjis weekend. I'm with Trevor on the massage therapist part. But to compete in an event I think I would like to try the skeleton.

Master 1690 Metro NY Area | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED Sure let me know if your coming this way. I'm looking forward to Rev3 I'm staying 2 nights so I can watch the pros do the half. Should be fun! fattyfatfat - 2010-02-23 1:20 PM its been a few years. yeah some of the houese were monsters. its sure changed a lot unfortunately. family is still around fairfield county. next time i'm up i'll let you know and you can tow me around on the bike. and i love the idea of REV3. isn't quassy amusement park is only open to family and friends of racers on race day?. perfect for families. and a great location. losta - 2010-02-23 11:14 AM Nice place to train, I prefer it to where I live to train due to low traffic. It's only 10 or 15 minutes drive. This spring summer I hope to do some long rides 50-70 miles. I am about to sign up for a metric century in May and looking for a full century in July. How long since you've been back to Greenwich? You wouldn't believe the size of some of the houses... oh maybe you would being in Houston now. fattyfatfat - 2010-02-23 11:46 AM losta - 2010-02-23 9:44 AM Wow page 202!!!!! No wonder I can't keep up. It moves so fast here. I try to scan at least. Hope all is well with everyone! Does BT have an entry for forum reading in the workout log that I'm missing? that's because you've been hanging out with the greenwich tri club to much and not spending time here! reading your log's and the roads you're riding brings back some pretty good memories of growing up there. |

I think Skeleton and Aerial Ski Jumpers are NUTS!!! And I wonder who was the first person to watch the Luge and think, "that needs another body on top?" For me it would have to be speed skating. Doug and I used to think we could do pairs figure skating (good transition from cheerleading), but now we are way too old to be doing that stuff. Edited by tahrens 2010-02-24 10:46 AM |

No racing here...not until April 11th. I would like to do the moguls event in the olympics! Pound the h3ll out of your legs, catch some air and pull off some crazy stunt and repeat! I will celebrate the winter olympics with some skiing on Saturday and possibly Sunday. Our friends are hosting their annual "Winter Blues" part on Satruday night so depending on how bad we drown our winter blues at the party, skiing Sunday my be out of the question! |
