Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I just did my first wetsuit swim ever, and I really enjoyed it! A fish actually took a strike at my toe! Seriously. It must have been that sparkly nail polish. I blogged a bit on the subject in my log today. I just love training; I never stop learning things. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() roni_runnw - 2008-05-18 9:13 PM Got some great training sessions in this weekend, 50 mile bike ride with 4300ft elevation gain on Saturday, 6 mile run and 1/2 hour swim today. I'm a little under on my swim goal so far, but will easily make it up this coming week since it is a swim focus week. I'm well over on my bike goal, and right where I should be on the run. Shouldn't be a problem making my goals this month. Here's a picture from the top of my bike ride Sat. Kind of fun to be able to play in the snow when it's 80 degrees that looks awesome! PARADISE! I used to love to ride my mtn bike in the snow!! WOW and look at the elevation gain! YOU GO RONI!!!! |

Wet suit and swimming in the ocean helps you float better |

I am with Karen on the 2nd place...that ref sounds like he needed an attitude adjustment!! |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Girl Passing on Left - 2008-05-19 9:26 AM gaiaserver - 2008-05-19 8:00 AM Hi everyone- Just got back from two days of lacrosse tournaments with my daughters and realized that I neglected to check everyone's numbers on the spreadsheet. I offered and then didn't follow thru...so I apologize for that. What's up with this 3rd place thing? Us westerners can do way better than that! Hope everyone is well and training hard. Let's push this thing to the max and blow by those other folks that live in places way way less kewl then where we do. Hey James...thanks for the offer...but if you want to help...how about making a sheet with each persons name and then where they are in all the various workouts...for example gpol...swim 60% run 60% and bike 90% strength...??? (these are not my true numbers but just an example) if you could do this with the highest numbers on the top of the chart and the lowest numbers on the bottom we can help to motivate those of us who are not quite up to the spot they should be at this point in the challenge...this has seemed to help in past challenges....if you can not do this...just reply and I will do it this afternoon! Hope everyone is having a good Monday! time to AMP up your workouts...even if you are Leslie and kicking butt at 80%...we need to all shoot for 100% and 110% if possible! LETS GO TEAM! come on if I can ride, run and even swim after a major wreck on my bike over the weekend...you guys can at least try and get to those goals! GO GO GO!!!! if you have been sick or injured let us know and we can adjust your times. But all others....get those buns in gear and go train! Will do....one summary table coming up!!!! |
![]() ![]() |
Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Here is the summary table as of 9:15pm West Coast time on 5/19. If the colors work then everyone in green is above goal, those in yellow are within 10%, and those more than 10% below goal are in red. Let's go people (me included)! Everyone send inspires to those in red to give them an extra boost.
