Evondo's Group - CLOSED! (Page 181)

i was real nervous hitting that enter button.  this is gonna be awesome!!!!

skinny is in to.  

Good luck to all the racers this weekend there are a ton of you and I'm jealous! I'll send out pics/updates as best I can through FB this weekend for the BSLT folks. 

RR is up from Y Freedom.  This was a PR for me in the Sprint distance.  Also, I took 5:38 off my time from this race last year.  I am pretty pleased with my performance today.

I enjoyed seeing Keri, Ken, and Justin today.  Ken had an good race and killed it on the bike....good job!

Happy Monday kids!

I'm tiered of being patient, I demand race reports!

There will be no race report from me until tue or wed Nicole. I just have my iPhone here. I'll just say now that I finished. It wasn't the race I wanted and I'm still working on coming to terms with my results.

If it's online it's true. I will always be thier Hero. http://spotted.lubbockonline.com/photos/index.php?id=3203818&size=l...

Cleary Todd brought the awesome to Lubbock!!

A triathlete drowned in Philadelphia (where I previously lived), just a reminder to be safe and watch out for the people around you...

Now THAT is awesome! 

It's been over 24 hours already, where are all the BSLT RR's??

After ironman 70.3 texas it took me about 48-72 hours to post! Most likely they are all still driving/sleeping.

Thank you Nikki, Tif, Betsy and Ken for your race reports. 

Kim, you are forgiven until you're home.

But JC, you're in a whole heap of trouble if you don't post that beast today.

And if I missed anyone, sorry, I suck.  I love reading race reports so let me know if you have one out there.

Very true.  And I actually have no room to talk bc I could very well be the slowest person in the group to post RR's.

Does anyone else here use RUNKEEPER app for Iphone to track workouts? I use it most times I am out, it maps on google, gives me spoken pace, elapsed time, speed and distance overtop of my Ipod music. but since updating to iOS4 it has me mapped all over the place, yesterdays bike ride had me riding across the middle of a 1/2 a mile reservoir twice and riding my bike at 3km/hour. I updated my software before I went for my ride and again after I got home and noticed how messed up it was. I love the App but this new glitch is frustrating.

Hello peeps!  Eric and I made it out of Lubbock safe and sound.  Thank goodness!

Hope everyone is doing well! 

Sorry gang... way too busy today to get a RR up, but I should be able to get to it tomorrow. 

Congrats to all the other racers...  Ken... FAST GUYS SUCK, and you are really starting to SUCK! Just saying!    Better slow the eff down junior... first I gotta deal with JP and now this!  C'mon, give me a break... I just raced in BSLT for God sakes!  geeez-o-petes!  Back to training already!  GAAAWWWD!

I look like I have energy to do two more.  I am just so so happy to be done.  This is me in the finishing.  As a side note, Skinny Cow Caramel Cone is pretty yummy.  Not an actual cone, but a new flavour of their ice cream.

Nice pic Kim!  Great seeing a smile across the finish line.  Of course you were happy to be done.  You had Skinny Cow Caramel Cone waiting for you.  Who wouldn't smile for that?

Hopefully there are some snaps coming of you on that awesome bike course.  If you're going to suffer, do it in beautiful surroundings.

Ok, race report done.  I only know my placing in regards to finishers, not overall, which is a little annoying but it is what it is and of course I'm just competing with me, myself, and I.

ou know, I really wish I had brought a camera out on the bike.  The views were awesome.  Lakes, mountains, rivers, some snow.  Can't beat it really.  Our bike course took us around Mt. Bachelour but then that gave us amazing views of the Sisters (there's 3 mountains in that pack) and a few other tall peaks.  The cool thing about the Cascade mountain range is that the mountains really stand out, unlike other mountain ranges where there are so many tall peaks that none really pop.

I do want to thank everyone for the encouragement and inspires.  I must say it is a little easier to go log your training when you got folks checking in on you and I thought about you all a bit during the course and the challenges you all have gone through and stuff and that helped.

I vote for IMAZ.  My plan is to be there.  Although I am rethinking that after this weekend.  I'll make my decision after the next HIM.

June's totals:
Bike: 11h 00m 37s - 190.25 Mi
Run: 10h 40m 35s - 75.14 Mi
Swim: 3h 47m 18s - 8250 Yd 

May's totals:
Bike: 12h 57m 47s - 232.3 Mi
Run: 6h 59m 11s - 45.64 Mi
Swim: 6h 58m 27s - 15700 Yd

Happy hump day!  Heading back for Houston today!

Two race weekends hurt my bike totals a bit for June.  July is empty for races so the training volume should be plenty high.  Run volume is up significantly and back in the right direction.  I missed a few swims in June due to work.  Hopefully the swim volume comes up in July as well.

Mmm....I love Skinny Cows!!!  If I had someone waiting for me at the finish with Skinny Cows in hand, there's a good chance that would guarantee me a PR every time
