Kristin - how are you feeling? ready for tomorrow?

 

I'm feeling a little physically run down, but mentally in a good place. I wrote my blog about it today, it's actually a little strange to be so calm the day before a race and I'm not sure why. I'm just finishing my pre-race dinner - and you'll love this, I mixed up a Gatorade Endurance with some tonic since I can't drink!!!! I've been packing up my bag for pre and post race, have to figure out the clothes I want to wear to throw away. Then I think I'll soak in the tub and watch a movie and hope I can sleep later. I'm a little worried about my body letting me down, but excited about the race.

oh, and I'm drinking one of the real drinks with tonic right now in your honor!

TOPPAGE!!!

1stTimeTri - 2008-11-01 11:28 AM Just under 11 months to go before IM Moo '09!!!

Yeah, better hurry up and train, we're running out of time!!!!! I think I'll do a little 26.2 mile training run tomorrow to kick it off.

So I'm likely going to do the Horribly Hilly 200K in your neck of the woods. Have you done that? 

No, I haven't.  But Whizzzzz, Trixie, and PeterAK have for sure.  It's definately named appropriately.  The course is MUCH tougher than IM Moo's, I've heard!

I think some of them are doing it again. I figured it would be a good way to prepare for the Moo course.

Beth and Cat - you guys are amazing multi-taskers! I could only focus on Nibbs. But I did finally write my MCM 10K race report! Better late than never I say...

http://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=137933

I "borrowed" some shots from marathonfoto as well to enhance it a bit

Commented.  I'll go run and hide now.

I'll have you know that the arm sleeves are not compression, just for warmth. It was 40 degrees!

But you'll love this. I bought full compression tights at the marathon expo last night. I'll be recovering in them after the race tomorrow. I *heart* compression!

Photos.  Need photos.  Stat.

Keep dreaming...

I love all three of those movies. I stopped watching movies this summer. Now that winter is coming and I'm moving and will likely be pretty lonely, I think I'll have a chance to finally catch up again!

I got the garlic bread pizza with sausage, pepperoni, onions and black olives, Da' Boyz are watching the movie, and I think I'll pop open my last Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy.  Wifey's been at work since 7 this morning dealing with their merger conversion.  She'll be home late and back at it tomorrow.  BLECH!

Yum. I ate plain spaghetti with butter and half an english muffin. I try not to eat anything too crazy before a race. I'd kill for a beer. I had a huge Sprecher Black last night, gotta love Wisconsin beers!

so I took Phil's hint................................

PT Freaks notes – Chapter 1

In just day and a little bit, the PT Freaks the team has already on page 16 17 18 of their thread and have accumulated 386 431 posts!  This is particularly noteworthy because the challenge only started today and Phil is actually away on a weekend trip  

When asked about the posting frenzy, Master Travis replied

We’re not chatty.  I prefer the term multi-taskers.  We post, we workout, we post, we workout, etc.

For anyone concerned about keeping up with the conversation – Cat has great advice

Dont worry about keeping up - when in doubt just read the last couple of posts and jump right in (ive been known to do it!


Mel (Chartierm22) – Mom of 2 girls preK and K.  Next summer will be her first tri season.  Since she swam in H.S. and has that as a strength, she’s focusing on running and biking.  In her intro, she began with..

Hole Moly I made it on the chatty team this month, will try to keep up
– from what I’ve seen so far, I’m thinking she isn’t going to have any trouble in that area

Chris (Chrisrunzs26)- lives in Ohio with her Hubby and works in construction. She’s going into her 4th year of Tri's. (many of us are still trying to get over the scary clown avatar from the first day of posting –JK, well, sort of )

Stacie (Dimplespoo)- completed her Masters in September – Congratulations Stacie!  She’s focusing on training for du’s and a springtime ½ Mary.  She is also learning to swim.  Thanks to Stacie for our awesome team table!  You ROCK!  As far as her call name, in case you were wondering

I have had the dimples nickname for years. and my hubby added the poo to it quite a few years ago and it stuck... What can I say...

Magda (Eurydice79) - from Perth, Western Australia (via Warsaw, Poland but that’s a whole other story). (I don’t know about you guys, but I’m thinking we need to hear more of this story!) Her first tri is coming up in 2 weeks!  She has also recently discovered the secret to high post counts in a short time (it’s called the Challenge Forum )  She  works very hard at padding her post count her job during work hours so I’m sure we will hear lots from her.  Cat now has a posting partner in the same time zone, so look for major post count increases during the month of November!

Phil (1stTimeTri)- is from the MadTown (Madison, WI) area and finished Ironman Moo (WI) 2007, and is getting ready for IM Moo '09!  He loves to chat and loves to win – lets not break his winning team challenge streak!  He’s currently at a waterpark with his 3 boyz – but waidaminute………jello shots on Halloween? (I wanna know where you trick or treat!)

Jenn (Jenni4) – is from Tennessee. She’s just getting back into running after some issues with with achilles tendonitis. Starting over with Running 101 and hoping to do a 5K on Valentine's Day and a Sprint Triathlon later in the Spring.

Cat (kaqphin) – aka Super Cat is from Australia, she may sometimes say good morning to you in the middle of the afternoon – but that’s because it is morning to her .  Her most recent claim to fame is talking Travis into setting up a challenge (nicely done Cat!) – a little known fact about Cat is that she has only seen snow once!

Beth (lastcall2003)- is very young (at heart anyway) mother of 3 - I have 2 kids in college (sophmore and freshman) and my youngest is in 8th grade.  Just moved to PA for a new job (from NE)  You guys missed out on the 7 months of commuting between Pennsylvania and Nebraska – that was quite the adventure!  4th season of tri’s coming up and planning on a ½ Mary in January or February with Kristin!

Kristin (LazyMarathoner) –

fairly addicted to challenges posting from my crackberry
(fixed that for ya Kristin ). She’s running the NYC Mary on Sunday and then heading into two months of less structured training in preparation for IMNO 70.3 on 4/5 and IMWI on 9/13.  She’s a fashion diva, sporting compression socks and she *hearts* compression (did I mention that she will run for wine?) – oh, and check out the totally awesome costume she came up with for Halloween!

Kendra (Pipscweek) – is from Tahoe and loves to ski!  She flies under the radar, so we may not see her around much, but she’ll be there getting ‘er done!

Rudy (Rudedog55) - lives in Southern Connecticut and has been Tri training for about 3 months now, he’s completed 2 sprints since he started training both in Sept he did first 5k race this past Sunday.  He’s got a busy season on tap for next year.  He has the distinct privilege of being on challenge teams

with the hottest BT girls, it's awesome
. He just signed up for the NYC tri! (oh, and he’s a very hot Captain Jack )

Andy (RevBigDog)- is a pastor of a Methodist church (which according to Phil means we don’t have to worry about ‘keeping it clean’ – lol).  He’s also a dad and

a whole lot of fun!
He’s looking forward to being on a chatty team.

Ted (TeddieMao)- lives in Chicago with his wife and two little ones.  This is his second year of tris (all sprints) he’s done a few adventure races.  Oh, and I think you are in the right club for sure  

Travis (tlnewman)-  Besides being a bit of a rascal, is a Sgt in the Marines and currently stationed in CO (sorry Travis I just couldn't resist )  He’s been there for about 4 months.  One thing he failed to mention in his intro is that he will 

run for beer
.  If you need any extra motivation during the challenge, we have several tools to help, there’s Dee’s cattle prod, Mila’s whip and now we have Travis, who will chase you while wearing steel capped boots!

Yanti (Triaya)- (ok, so I’m taking a little liberty here – Yanti and I have been co-mentors for the past few months and I’m stealing some bits from her intro )  She grew up in Indonesia and swam with the national team and her high school team. In the States, she coached and competed in martial arts, but became sedentary after an injury. Fast forward … well, she’s going to have to tell you all the ‘rest of the story’, but let’s just say she ROCKS!

David  (Wraith28k)- new to triathlon with only one race and a bit under a year of training under his belt. He is very much hooked though, and loving every minute! (now we just need him to get as hooked on challenges )

bump
