Team Olympic Onions Rings (Page 18)

I'm jealous.  May 31st seems so far away.

But they don't even make us swim first

At least they don't make us run after it

So how ready for this one are you, Charlotte?

The Starfish - 2008-04-11 11:03 AM As for your first HIM…not keeping a countdown calendar are you?

Noooo... I promise I have no idea how much longer it is until April 5th, 2009 at 7:00 AM.  Nor did I check the water temp this April the 5th, just to get an idea.

I've heard you pretty much can't help but smiling.  The thing I'm looking forward to the most will be that last mile and all the people cheering at the finish.  It always makes the pain go away and gives ya a boost.

Do kids sleep 12 hours straight at Disney World?  I have a feeling somebody will have to do some serious kicking to get me out of bed after 70.3 miles.  But... if you do get out there, you'll get to brag over and over about what you did when people ask why you're walking down the stairs backwards.

Ummm... no.  But I'm giving it a go.  And yeah, I'm doing a 5k after it because I have lost my mind.

That is what this sport does to you! Good for you!

Going swimming in the ocean today!!!! Wish it was sunny!

Now that is something I wish I could be doing right now.  I've only done one ocean swim and I absolutely loved it.

D001 - 2008-04-11 2:13 PM Hello Peeps and assorted Onions! ('Cause that's what all the avatars around here look like. You're either a Peep because you weren't on a winning team last month, or you're an Onion because you're on the winning team this month! Get it? If not, well, I DO have a whip, remember? ) Work has been stupidly insane. (Or insanely stupid. Either word order will work....) However, I got a strength session in this morning, and a short swim in tonight. Yay! On tap for this weekend: taxes. No, I haven't done them yet. I did mention that work has been stupid, right? Bleh - to both work and taxes. I see you've all be chatting. I'll have to go back and read what you've said, so that I can up my post count write meaningful replies.

Sorry about work and taxes!

Good you can release that stress by getting your training in!!! Yippee.

I did my bike and strength tonight -- up to 24% overall -- still not "Super Onion" status, but improving.  I'm going to try for Super Onion by COB Sunday (if taxes don't interfere -- mine aren't done either!)

Yeah, I was checking out some of the ringer's logs, and it looked like there was just some slow spreadsheeting going on.  The training logs looked pretty good.

How about 5 hours in the saddle for the spreadsheet?  D O N E!!!

The Starfish - 2008-04-12 10:27 AM Please! I promise I am not asking for the cattle prod! I decided to update my log once a week to keep from getting confused and forgetting what I logged and what I did not. So, I updated my portion of the spreadsheet today. This should bring me up to at least the green area, I hope. Don’t forget I have a race tomorrow. I may not be able to update before tomorrow evening so, I posted my planned times but actual distance to my planned workout for Sunday. Also, I have a race report. Don’t we get bonus points for races????? Hope everyone has a great weekend! Enjoy and train!!! GO ONIONS!!!!

Updating once a week is fine. I just figured I'd "remind" people, in case they weren't actually working out! And YES, you get bonus points for races! They count DOUBLE!

Really?  That's awesome.  Umm... lets all sign up for a bunch of races real quick like.

Nice.  I've got a 1/2 mary tomorrow and a metric century at the end of the month

Go Onions!!!
