Congrats, that is awesome!  I find it motivating to get a placing you are really proud of.

Trust me, I'm not incredibly fast, just consistent and keep plugging away even when I don't feel up to it.  The first tri had 66 "competitors", the other only 22.  So, my place is not brag worthy, but I did make a bet with myself that if I made the top five women, I'd consider actually doing this crazy thing!!!

---now why didn't it copy your stuff???  I had to do it manually!?!?!

-Finish the 1/2 mary in under 2 hours
-Convince the hubby that it would be fun to do an outdoor tri
-Have confidence when road biking.  I have a friend (who happens to be a USAT coach) who wrecked in a car vs. bike accident and since then, I've been nervous to even go.
-Finish the Komen Tri (400 swim, 12 bike, 2 run) in an hour (is that possible? I'm using my indoor tri numbers to guesstimate)
-Register for the Cleveland Tri by 4/9 (I have a $10 coupon)...  but I don't know which distance.  Am I asking too much to sign up for the Oly???  Advice?  I may need a push...
-Not burning out!!!!!!
-Try to work out in the morning once the kids are out of school.

Nole, have you ever kept a nutrition log?  Tracking everything you eat over the course of the day?  I try to do that for at least 2 weeks at the start of a weight loss phase. I use www.nutritiondata.com to estimate the calories of meals.  It is really suprising how extra calories can sneak into your daily routine.

titeloops - 2010-04-08 10:43 AM Goals

1. Learn to interval train.
2. Swim alot.
3. Finish strong in an Oly
4. Finish B2B HIM
5. Super Secret Goal, Finish B2B full IM


I'll start today off with a laugh for everyone. Had a 5 mile run scheduled this am. Got up, has a cup of joe, went to bathroom for my regularly scheduled appointment. Nothing happened. Really weird. Coffee usually does the trick. I thought, Oh well, can't sit here all day. Got ready and headed out for my run. At the 2 mile mark I felt something strange. At the 2.5 mile mark I knew what i was feeling. At the 3 mile mark I new I had to hurry. By the 3.5 mile mark it was a real emergency. At 4 miles I was basically sprinting. I made it home, but just barely. Did my 5 miles in 45:07. Thats fast for me!

What's going on today?

n.k

I logged my longest road ride ever at an hour and 47 minutes.  Though apparently I wasn't going too fast as I only logged 24.3 miles in that time.

n.k - 2010-04-08 10:58 AM Morning everyone.  I hope your day is off to a great start.

I got up at 4:25 this morning and was on the road by 4:45.  I logged my longest road ride ever at an hour and 47 minutes.  Though apparently I wasn't going too fast as I only logged 24.3 miles in that time.  I'm sure part of my slow pace has to do with the fact that it was 33 degrees, a little bit windy, patches of freezing rain, and pitch black for almost my entire ride. While I have a light on my handle bars its still scary to get going pretty fast when you can barely see the road in front of you.

I totally got lost in farm land and started freaking out that I was going to have to call my wife to come get me but luckily there was this farmer outside who was kind enough to give me directions.  Only got buzzed once, which is especially scary when you can't see how much shoulder you have because its darker than a goth night club.

But anyways, I feel great to have my workout done for the day.  I might go for a light walk during lunch if I have the time.  And this evening is family time!
