Evondo's Group - CLOSED! (Page 176)

I have no idea how they made it that color because the water definitely isn't that blue! Here's another shot with more realistic water color for Sylvan beach

I do normally have to deal with the bar fight when catching the previous wave, this was the first race I was actually in the first wave. It was nice!

Awesome pic...Never been able to even find myself in a swim pic with the madness I have to be a part of at my pace.

Sweet news on the bike. So now bike is good, weather will be good, => Race is going to rock!!

Sweet photo Eric! 

Kim, that does sound like great weather!  Just swim really fast and that way you won't even notice it's cold.

Morning everyone.

That is a very cool pic.

Eric...those are AWESOME photos!!! 

Kim...GREAT news about the bike...and the weather forecast in Oregon this weekend!

Soooo tired today!

So there are a bunch of races in my area near mid-end of October.  I'm actually *gasp* thinking about registering for one.

Given my current level of inactivity and non fitness, what distance do we think I should be looking at?

I most enjoy racing longer distances, HIM's and what not, but I want to be realistic about my non existent fitness level and what I can accomplish in 4 months.

Thoughts?  Oponions?  Pom poms?

ABOUT TIME.  I vote IM.  Ha, kidding.  I would say Olympic since you like longer.  But an all out sprint can be fun.  That being said, if you started to get out there and were able to be conistant then there's no reason you couldn't do an HIM.  Or, do an Olympic and a HM. 

But this requires me to swim, not just admire the pool from a distance. 

Ha!  Kidding... sort of.

There are lots of olympics, including a all women one, which I like the sound of.  I'm sure they will have a fabulous pink shirt (and since that's the only reason I do these things anyway...)

X2 on this one.  Bike was scary and transition area got down-right catty.  I would assume an Oly would be better though, if you're really into the shirt.  Most importantly, SIGN UP for something and start posting some peach in that log. 

Holy Return of the INTIMIDATOR, I never thought I would see the day!!

Have you looked at the couch (or bed in your case) to 5k plans?

I am starting to feel bad for my wife. The more time I sit and think about my "Super Secrete Motivation Plan" the more and more I think to add to it. Since I might start drinking about 5 minutes after I get out of the water by the time JC and BvD see me on the run part it could get ugly.

Eric,

That's an awesome pic! For a minute I thought it was me........ no body around, me being the last person out of the water.

But in your case you were first!

I for one would appreciate the lack of stark blinding white in your logs, I won't have to keep my sunglasses on my desk anymore :-)

You could totally do an Oly!  I have to respectfully disagree wtih the other ladies on the women's only deal though.  My first tri was women's only, Houston has 2 that I know of but the other one is right before Bridgeland so that's not going to happen.  Anyway... I LOVED it!  All the women were amazing!  I had someone telling me I was amazing, beautiful and awesome the whole time.  Lot of great volunteers!  I was so spoiled at my second race I was wondering where all the people were that tell me how awesome I am.  LOL  Of course I could have been the gal the other ladies are complaining about since it was my first and I didn't know what I didn't know but I took the time to go over the packet and they had a pre-race meeting.
Oh and the shirt is SUPER cute and I reach for it a lot!  Best SWAG ever!

A friend of mine just bought me 4 Anti-Gravity Yoga classes via Groupon.  This should be freakin' hilarious.  Nicole, I'd invite you to join me but we don't want you to injure yourself as you are re-entering the world of training.  I'll report back after I've taken a class.  Assuming I don't break my neck.

Will try to repost the pic.  For some reason it is not compressing properly.

Haha, that looks like the best time ever!!! I would totally risk injury to take that class.   Just don't wear a big t-shirt that fly's up over your head.

I hear 'ya! My friend says she's afraid she's going to laugh so hard she'll pee her pants.  That would be a serious mistake hanging upside down. Good reminder on the T.  Hadn't thought of that one.

I bet anything it will be one of those classes where you're not allowed to laugh.  It looks like a real n.azi workout to me.

The Bikram studio that I've attended in the past was very strict and hoity toity, you aren't allowed to SPEAK in the class, even if spoken to.  If you do, they throw you out.  LOL  Bucha a.ss.holes if you ask me.

But anyway, I would get a feel for ettiquite before hand.  You don't want to be laughing and peeing and end up getting evicted.

Been there on the Bikram etiquette.   I think that's why I like triathlon.  People don't get so upset about peeing.  In fact they obsess about encourage it.  In all kinds of places I'd never consider. Hello???? I paid a LOT of $$$ for those custom orthotics.  But it is nice to know if the bladder cries uncle you won't be shunned. Upside down though would be totally gross. 

Will check out the website first and see if we need to take a chill pill before class.

I just had to google this.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAIBxubYUy8

Looks like a lot fun!  Although I feel like the only things I could do would be the swinging and the part at the end where they are just laying there like they are in a hammock.

ok Emma, the water belt is on it's way to you.  2-3 days.  So now we are all expecting you to throw down some miles now that you have water for your runs.

Oh no...this is looking like T-R-O-U-B-L-E!
