Chris Tree's Group - CLOSED (Page 2)

Hey Everyone,

Kate welcome we can help keep you motivated along the way.  How about in your logs you tell us what you plan to do and we can check back in and see if you did actually get it done and help keep ya honest     I find it works for me.  I really needed a bit of motivation to get in the pool on Mon and got a kick in the pants via my inspires on the logs and headed down to the pool!  it works

Marcin - wow that castle looks amazing,  what a fantastic place to do a race.  are those distances in km's or miles.  I always get so confused on this site as to how uses what measurements (we use metric downunder)

Nora- Aust is a fantastic place to come for a visit I highly recommend it.  the weather is not so great at the moment as we are heading into winter.  but for me not so great is probably a very mild winter compared to some parts of the US and where chris is from.  its roughly 5C in the overnight and today its a sunny 21C but its chilly. 

if you do head on downunder make sure you head over to the West coast where I live,  most people bypass the west coast and see Sydney Brisbane Melb etc.  But there is some absolutely amazing coastline over this side of the country that shouldn't be missed

Oh and Marcin if you need any tips with your open water swimming just let me know,  that is one part of tri's that I am actually good at!

very confident open water swimmer.  Swimming in a wetsuit is pretty different to swimming without one,  you'll float so much easier,  if you are not that confident a wetsuit will really help you in open water.  just have that little though in teh back of you head if I start to panic I can just float and the wetsuit will keep me afloat!

Hey Chris  my friend is doing the best she can be at themoment she still has another 3 years before tehy will say if she is clear or not.  But she is living the high life over your side of the world at the moment in Ireland.  I miss her!

 yep I'm really proud of my dad,  It really makes me get out and train when I think hmm if ddad can do this at 62 what excuse have I got for not doing it!

your uncle sounds pretty amazing Chris I didn't realise he was that age when you mention what races you guys have done together!! thats impressive.  I find those people very inspiring and motivating!

Hey Claire,

 yay another person from this side of the plant.  ok so Perth and NZ aren't exactly close but everyone always seems so far away and always in a different season!

welcome aboard

ohh who's birthday is it?  How did I miss that!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Kate, first of all I wish you all the best

Yesterday I managed to finish my first triathlon! OWS was harder then I thought, but then I did better while biking and running. Level of competitors was very high as almost all the participants were members of sport triathlon clubs. I was last but one but at least I see exactly where I need to improve

Cheers

Marcin 

Way to go Marcin!! you are a triathlete.  congrats on your first race and believe me ows gets easier and more enjoyable with practice!
