Did the updated spreadsheet work for you?

losta - 2009-09-02 10:01 PM I've got 2 hours on the bike the past two days. I'm hoping to swim and run tomorrow. I am going away for the weekend and that will involve 7-8 hour drives two of the days. I am bringing my bike and hope to bike and run a bit while away. What does everyone have planned for the labor day weekend?

kromanowski - 2009-09-01 10:30 AM Hi everyone! My name is Katie.  I am from Chicago and just completed my third triathalon.  Now I am getting ready to gear up for a half marathon. YIKES!!!

Hi Julie!

losta - 2009-09-01 1:32 PM Hi Fellow Fighting Artichokes!! Nice to be here with you all. Go Arties! What has everyone set as their goals? Mine are: Bike 15 hours (at least 50% time at higher cadence) Run 10 hours (run 10% faster by end of month) Strength 1x-2x a week Plus Swim 5 hours lots of HM training here..I guess running will be big!

ilucy2 - 2009-09-02 4:22 AM Morning! I put my goals at 30 mi run, 240 min bike, and 9 weight sessions. I ran all of Aug with my hip out, and was told to rest because the tissue is ticked off. Yeah that does not sit with me. However, the pain and swelling does temper it a bit. I had a 1/2 mary on 9-20, but am reducing it to a stupid 10k. Had to cancel my 1/2 in Oct too.

Hi Team

 Here are my  Goals

swim 15000 m

run 80 miles

bike 200 miles

I hit two of these goals last month .  The swim has been the hardest to make happen  due to pool hours and work and all .I have a long sprint race on Sept 13 th . And after that i am looking at doing a longer event in mid october.  My limiter is the swim so I  really need to bear down this month. 

Training is thin this week due to the wildfires and the bad air quality.

I'm at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. I did my BSc. in Honors Physiology here too and was accepted at University of Calgary and Alberta...so I decided to stay home rather than move down the highway to Calgary, haha! I definately understand what you mean by wanting orientation to be done so you can rest! haha...we still have 2 parties (ones a pubcrawl) and a BBQ and I have a sprint on Sun!!! AHhhh! So suffice it to say my next two parties will be sober ones! Not that it even matters! Why are med parties sooooo crazy?

Global - 2009-09-04 9:27 AM Hey team thought I would check in and say hi .  I'm James and I hail from the wonderful city of Victoria BC.  Basically I took a month break after my Ironman in 2007 and it turned into 2 years!  August was my first full month back at training and I'm looking forward to reaching my goals again this month.  I'm going to have to modify my swim goal however.  I strained my shoulder on a canoe trip and it just is not letting me swim more then a few hundred meters.  I will probably change the swim goal to a strength training goal unless anyone has any objections. 

Nice to meet you all!
