Expert 1117 Shalimar, FL | Subject: RE: Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge Happy Saturday SoSers! I'm a little late (well, very late...) checking in today. I had an ok race, and did manage to bring home some hardware -- second in my AG. The woman who beat me equaled my 5K PR, and she did it in this blasted heat! So I'm mostly happy with my race today because there is no way I could have run the race she ran. But there's that competitive spirit that doesn't let me say that I'm completely happy. I guess it will make me work that much harder next time! I hope everyone is having a good weekend. Edited by Sledge 2009-08-08 7:29 PM |

Can you change the amount of time I have to move? Or maybe change the amount that I have to pack? Or unpack? COOL! I'll sit right here and wait for that to happen!
ummm... must remember to work on context a bit more... |

She's there with some friends we were stationed with in Germany few years ago. They have a daughter the same age. My daughter did her first race this year (there's a few pics in the album) with me. It was a little-big kid-adult team adventure race with canoeing, mountain biking, running. She did awesome, definitely a future triathlete. My teenage son is a champion text-athlete and laptop-thlete... lol. BozNC - 2009-08-08 5:09 AM Happychick - 2009-08-08 2:04 AM Yes she is staying on Oahu (Ewa Beach) until my wife flies back on the 13th to pick her up. My wife is a flight attendant so she takes the kids wherever they want during the summer. P90X is the greatest yet one of the toughest workouts on the world, if you do it right. A ton of my friends are hooked on it. There isn't anyone who hasn't gotten stronger or lost fat while on it. Check out their website.BozNC - 2009-08-07 3:02 PM Happychick - 2009-08-07 7:31 PM Again, I'm on here all by my lonesome. Aw well, I guess I can just talk to myself... So self, what do we have planned today? Well, I believe it is a rest day. Hmmm, don't we HAVE to do something so we don't have that ugly yellow square on our calendar? As a matter of fact, yes we do. What shall we do then to turn it to a more pretty color? Actually, I'm thinking abs and stretching...something we can never do enough of and we don't seem to do it as much as we should! Alrighty then, let's go.... LOL Michelle... I just saw you are in HI. My daughter is there right now visiting some friends that are stationed there. I didn't have time to ride as planned today. I did an hour of P90X. Boz Small world, huh Boz?! Is she staying here on Oahu or will she be visiting other Islands? While I've heard of P90X, I'm sorry to say I really don't know anything about it...what exactly is it? That is really cool that your wife is able to do that!! How old is your daughter (and your other kiddo...if you don't mind me asking!)? LOL! Where were you in Germany? My hubby and I were in Wiesbaden but that was back in 96-99. I'll have to go check out those pics...that sounds like A LOT of fun!!! |

It sounds like you did awesome, Bill but I have to admit that I have no clue what a crit race is...and you did two of them? (I'll be reading your RRs so maybe that will explain a little...)

| Elite 4372 Connecticut | Subject: RE: Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge Back from jockstrapping. Boy, that is tough work! But so much fun. Didn't end up staying at the beach cause the weather is icky. Cloudy and chilly! Great racing weather but not good beach weather. Oh well, the kids had fun playing in the sand and ringing cow bells. Can't wait to hear how our racer's did today. |

Have fun today...we were thinking of hitting the water today also (just haven't decided if it's going to be beach or pool!) It is!! I really enjoyed the quiet both yesterday and today. Up early tomorrow cause I'm meeting my super good friend Cara for a little 3 mile jaunt at 6:00. I was supposed to run it today but I haven't done laundry in a week ( ) and I didn't have any clean sports bras. Oops! So, perhaps, I am back into my early morning routine. |

| Champion 6225 | Subject: RE: Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge hello team today didnt go as well as i hoped it would. HOT AS HELL. and i didnt hold up well under the conditions. though, im happy to report we did NOT have a repeat of the MS150 heatstroke/meltdown. still waiting on the official results. (damn chip time....) 1:37ish.... about 6-7-8 mins off my goal time. nuthin i can do about it now. decent swim. unexpectedly slower bike. what the?? (17mph instead of the expected 17.5-17.8) and a MISERABLE run (though not as slow it couldve ended up being...) suffer-fest from beginning to end. and the trail is supposed to be happy place. yea. i guess when its not 90+ w 90% humidity sorry. im still pretty grumpy about it. i swear im STILL sweating. and im tired as all get out.what does a girl have to do to get a decent time? i cant work any harder than i already am. (maybe thats just it....) OI VEY. the slowest person in my group of friends that competed today. i need to get some slower friends. i kept it together, and finished..... so im giving myself PROPS for that. and to be off even that 'little' on day like today, thats something too. couldve been A LOT slower. trying to make lemonade. but.... SO NOT the way i wanted to 'end' the season. even my friend who ive been training with, was, 'what the heck??' not sure WHAT the answer is.... SOOOOOOO looking forward to my two week HIATUS. (ya think i need a break?? LOL) gonna keep working out, following a SUPER DUPER TAPERED SCHEDULE (which was planned into my goals for this months challenge, no worries there. i wont let you down, team) recover, regroup, refocus. have a 1/2 MARY to start training for starting the end of the month.

This had a lot more turns than most - usually rectangular and you go all out for x amount of laps or minutes and then it is a sprint type race to the finish (which I was never a part of Teams usually run the pace to try and get their guys a victory. Back in the day I remember being a little (well a lot) faster than I was today. Time to do intervals (maybe)! Woo hoo for Crit racing!!! Nice effort.....!!! |

'09-'10 BETTER STRONGER FASTER. stacieb Hi Stacie - sorry your race was not what you were after - Im sure the missing of your goa time was entirely due to the heat which makes most people slower... Recover well as your first priority, lots of water drinking and I would suggest rather than a schedule you take some time out and just train what you feel... so if you want to swim... then go and go what feels good... Consider it your well deserved unstructured break for a few weeks (yup you are right you probably need it!!!) Take Care!!! |

Take a break from the structured training and then focus on your half when you get back. Winter is a great time to build a better base for the 2010 season. You had a fantastic first tri season and I'm sure you will see vast improvements next season! |

| Elite 4372 Connecticut | Subject: RE: Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge Speaking of half marathons.....I am not sure I will be able to run mine in October. I don't know if I will be able to get all my training in if we are moving.  If not, I will bump it down to the 5k and start focusing on getting faster. I really should run faster than I do. I want some speed gosh darn it! We'll see what this week brings with the house stuff before I make any decisions. |

What shall I do??Up early many days in a row -- what's up with that? I'm heading out for a run, then leaving for the airport shortly. I'm going to Baltimore for a few days -- want to join me there? I was hoping for some cooler weather, but I just looked and they are having a heat advisory. Looks like I'm just destined to deal with it! |
