 Subject: RE: Team 3 - June Challengeyogachic - 2010-06-01 4:31 PM Hi Team! Here's my intro, using Jay's format: Name: Missy Age: 28 Tri Exp: 2nd season. Last year did 1 sprint (my first road race ever!), 3 Olys, & 2 half marathons. This year, I did my first 5k and my first marathon. Upcoming races: So far I'm registered for a 200-mile relay (running), a HIM, and another marathon. I'm thinking of adding a few Oly's in there. And maybe a 10k & a half marathon in the fall. Location: Chicago, IL Goals: Swim 4x Bike 20 hrs Run 60 miles Yoga 4x I've decided I don't really like to swim all that much (my arm goes numb if I swim too much), so I'm only going to aim to do an OWS about once a week; if I do more in the pool that's great but I'm already tired to lap swimming! At least in open water, you're kind of going somewhere, even if it's just out & back. I'm ramping up my time on the bike since that's my weakest sport, and also increasing my run mileage this month since last month I was recovering from my marathon (aka running only when I felt like it)... Plus, my training program for my fall marathon starts in about 2 weeks as well so I'll be re-instating a structured run schedule into my routine. Hey Missy...I must have missed your marathon recap at the end of April. The posting that month was a bit crazy...so it must have got buried in a couple days of posts. Good to hear you did well. Chicago should be much flatter and faster. |

Extreme Veteran 494   Morris County, NJ | Subject: RE: Team 3 - June Challenge Hi Team! Name: Jackie The challenges over the last few months have seen me through 2 half-marys, my first 1.2 mi OWS, and a long ride of 50 miles. This month, I have a long ride of 67 miles and my first oly, so I'm going to need some inspiration. Good luck Bill--sounds like an amazing trip. |

The posting that month was a bit crazy...so it must have got buried in a couple days of posts. Good to hear you did well. Chicago should be much flatter and faster. Thanks! It was a lot hotter, more humid, and hillier than I'm used to running in, so my energy was sapped much earlier in the race than I expected. So I ended up walking a lot of the uphills and toward the end, but was still able to run the last mile and a half through the finish just on pure adrenaline. Then I couldn't walk for 2 days  But yes, Chicago will be a lot flatter and faster (and hopefully cooler) so I should easily PR in Oct! |

| Expert 1163 | Subject: RE: Team 3 - June Challenge I rang in June by getting my first OWS of the season done yesterday morning! I'd forgotten to pre-soak my wetsuit beforehand, so it was definitely tight, and I had a hard time with the swim. Once it loosens up, I'm sure I'll be fine doing longer distances (only did half a mile yesterday). I'm thinking of changing my yoga goal to a strength+yoga goal because I like having all my workouts count toward my monthly goal. But I did that last month and ended up mostly lifting and not really doing yoga. I think I'll do it still, though, and make it a rule that it won't count if they are more than 2 away from each other. So up for tonight is lifting, and a little biking. |

| Subject: RE: Team 3 - June Challenge wgraves7582 - 2010-06-02 2:51 AM wow so many familiar names. great competition on this team but are you guys up to the challenge? Bill...how about you give me 2.4 to 1. Meanning you take my mileage and multiply by 2.4. I'm slated for about 650 this month, so that comes out roughly to 1500 miles. I really need to hit my bike goals this summer...so it will be good motivation for me. |

| Master 1641 Seattle, California | Subject: RE: Team 3 - June Challenge Got in an easy 10k last night and will hopefully get in 8 - 10k recovery tonight. This week is a rest week so volume will be a little light. I'm heading up to Tofino (aka - best place in the world) for a food and wine festival this weekend. Should be a blast. I will be bringing my shoes though and try to get in a run between hangover recovery. |

| Elite 3913 far northern CA | Subject: RE: Team 3 - June Challenge Today's swim = epic failure! I took baby to the gym childcare. It was moderately busy. I asked how busy it was going to get and the woman said "oh, there will be quite a few more kids in here." I just about decided to leave him in there when the lady said "I have a biter in here right now." WTF!!!! Why would someone take a biting child to gym childcare!!!! Please tell me why!!!! Needless to say, I did not get my swim done. |

| Champion 10742 Ames, IA | Subject: RE: Team 3 - June Challenge I got in a lovely run this morning and a windy ride in this afternoon. I headed out about 13 miles and turned around. I made it back 14 minutes faster than heading out. Yeah, just a little windy. |
