Auggies Team Thread (Page 2)

oh boy.....this is gonna be fun!  I would love to push everybody along who is not living up to their part!  I can be polite.....OR I can be really tough!....I have very good karate moves!    he, he, he!

I am also leaving for Va Beach for the long weekend....it is such a shame that Sunday is still August since I am running 13.1 miles that day!

Have a wonderful weekend Auggies!    

Here's your final roster:

My name's Sal, 44.  Started marathoning in 2003, triathlons in 2004.

Goals: well, my initial run goal was low (27 miles), but looks like I'll be bumping that up to run a marathon in October.

Biggest success story this year: bringing my swim times down in my triathlon events.

I'll give a quick bio...

I've been active my entire life, but got fat in college.  I topped out somewhere around 215lb even though I was trying to work out consistently.  I stumbled into a beginner triathlon clinic at my gym and became addicted to the triathlon lifestyle.  I've lost 50-60 pounds so far.  Last year was my first season -- I started not being able to run even a mile, but by the end of the year I had done 2 sprint tris and a bunch of 5k runs.  This year I kicked off the season with a half marathon, a handful of sprint tris, an olympic tri, and then a half ironman!  I'm doing my first full marathon in a month.  Ironman Arizona next year, baby!!!!

Personal life -- I'm 29, female, recently engaged to the most supportive dude you can imagine, work as a Chemical Engineer, and before triathlon was an avid whitewater kayaker.  Oh, and I love cookies.

OKRAS RULE!

(am i original or what)

Hi Steve!  Nice to see ya!  You are a shameless lurker!   Great job on your runs!

Dear Team Captains,

This is the first weekend of reporting.  Please email me your results by Sunday.  The earlier the better!!

My email is shawnbarr99@ yahoo.com.

What I need:

·         Each team members name and their miles run from 9/1 to 9/6

It would be a good idea if you PM all your team members today and remind them to post their miles asap and definitely before Saturday night.

Thanks for being a captain!! Please let me know if you have questions.

Thanks!!

ps...whew, this community organizer stuff is hard work :-)

Hi Team.  We're almost through week 1!  In theory I should be at 25 miles by the end of Saturday, but that isn't going to happen.  Not to fret though, because next weekend is my 20-miler.  Hmf, too bad the 16-miler last weekend was still in August...  Anyway, I'm heading out for a short run tonight and then knocking out 12 on Sunday.  What runs do the rest of you have planned.

By the way, what exactly is an "Auggie"?

OHHHHH - Team Captains,

If your team members do NOT have anything posted by Saturday night.  Just send me what they have; even if it is ZERO.

There's no way I or you can wait around for people to post their miles.

Having a big, fat ZERO or forgetting to log miles will be great fodder for Harassment and Trash Talking next week.

Thanks!!

Ps...once I have your numbers and post results on Monday, I will not make adjustment for people who whine, "I forgot to post my miles."  Babies.

Runnin' god has spoken.

owl_girl - 2008-09-05 11:21 AM I'm going for a run on Saturday!  Don't worry team!  (This has been a particularly difficult week.  I'm starting to feel a little bit more normal.)  Cheers!

Hopefully not morning sickness...

Rest day.  Did a short warm-up run and some stretching and core.  Sprint tomorrow (880 yds, 18 mile bike, 5 mile run).  I start ramping up miles next Saturday.

I'll answer this one.  I live up here in the Twin Cities area.  The college is Augsburg College...it's short for Augsburg...original, huh...
