Originally posted by SportzVision OMG! Can 2014 get any worst...wait I am sure it can i do NOT want to test fate! So raising three girls has always been a challenge. As kids they were great and a lot of work but fun. then they became adults...don't get me wrong, they are hard workers and are still pretty good...well most of the time. Out of the three one (it can be any of the three), one always has to be my woe. This week it was my youngest. Last night my middle daughter came to me and told me, with a shaky voice and frightened eyes, that the youngest was having a miscarriage and needed me. They live together 70 miles from our home and the middlest was here to do laundry and spend time with the g-son. So I put my mom cape on and head out 10 at night to be with her. I spent the night, took the day off work and we strolled along the river most of the day. She dodged a bullet this time but we are also both still sad at the loss of a baby. My daughter is fine and as I type I can hear her laughing with her sisters in the living room; they are all here tonight, safe and sound. GWAD sometimes I wonder where we went wrong and then remember oh yeah they are adults and can make their own bad decisions. Work sucks and I am beginning to dread going into the office. However, someone I worked with previously called me and asked if I would apply to be her boss. I did and I hope something comes along soon because I feel my season in my current position is quickly coming to an end. I love my work but I feel I am swimming against the current and when I swim with the current the tides change and I am going the wrong way again. Well gotta get to sleep alarm goes off in 3 hours. Prayers please. Oh training, thats lost...well a good run and actual to goodness run without walking an entire 5K this week and yoga 2x. Other than that it was a bust. But no worries you know me the Queen of starting over! I start again tomorrow, shoes are packed plan in hand.

End of the week update: Bike commuting yesterday and a short 3.5 mile run today. Trying to build my mid-day heat running tolerance as the start time of my July sprint tri is 10:30am, which means I will be running right at noon or so. Fortunately last year there were a couple spectating households along the route who were spraying water upon request!

This weekend I may give stand up paddle boarding a try, anyone have any experience with it?

Quick help time. I am looking to pick up a set of wheels today since I have a killer deal but am curious about the size. They aren't Zipps but they are the same size as the 808s. I live in a completely flat area with not one hill for any of my races. The winds aren't ever too bad to worry about cross winds. Is it silly to go that size or is it fine? I heard that depth is the best to run but want to make sure it's not crazy to run an 808 on the front.

HELP! I really fell in love with them but don't want to make an mistake.

All it takes is not paying full attention, trying to clip back in, intersection, looking the wrong way, and taking one hand off the handle bars.  My season is over!  Surgery on Tuesday.

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!!!!

I guess the picture didn't post. My left collar bone is in three big pcs and a few smaller ones. The surgeon didn't have the correct size plates so he's ordering on Monday and surgery on Tuesday.

Originally posted by brreems I would like to join! I have been out of the tri seen for 2 years. (building house, decided to try to focus on more distance running, etc) But, I completed my first tri this last weekend (completely untrained except for the run) and realized how much I missed it. I was not experienced before. I live in an area that only has 1 tri per year so I have to travel to the venues. I would love to work my way up to a HIM someday but this year will stick with sprints. I don't have any close friends that do triathlons so everything that I know is just from reading off the internet. Hoping to make some "virtual" friends to bounce ideas off of. PLUS, I LOVE BEER! Seriously, my hubby and I put 2 beer taps in our bar. Love it! Just hard to watch the weight when it is so convenient. I love all kinds of beer. My go to is usually a wheat ale but I love trying all kinds. I have been married almost 14 years and have 3 girls: 10, 5 and 3 Hope you will have me!
