Team Hoss' Thread..... (Page 2)

Yes.  However, I will take this opportunity to declare my retirement from smack-talking, and follow the route that Lance will take - going out, on top, victorious. 

Consider this a retirement like Michael Jordan's, though.  If I feel the need to return to the smack-talk arena, I will.  Of course, I'll still bring my A game, unlike the Wizards...

Have a great training weekend Hoss Team! What is it about our team that has all the other teams jumping on and posting to our thread? I think lots of them wish they were Hoss members.

I have to get up at 4:15am to go to my tri tomorrow and it looks like it will rain.....well...I'll stay cool. I think perhaps there will be a lot of no shows ...due to the rain. Time to load the car and get ready! I am aiming to finish in around 1:30-1:35 compared to 1:53 last year.

I think I'll wear my lucky yellow heart bike top. I'm excited, nervous and looking forward to beating my time from last year.

I have a 2 hour ride with a 20 minute run scheduled for Sunday. What do you guys have on tap this weekend?

Having survived the ups and downs of racing, I'm all about encouraging everyone to do their best at all of their races as well.  May the roads be free of debris, the wave starts free of chaos, and plenty of water stations on the run for ALL of us here at BT.

It takes a special kind of person to lay down some good smack talk - I can put a lot out, but I'll be the first to admit that I might be less than tactful while doing it.  Be that as it may, if someone went out and ran, biked or swam just a bit farther or faster, then I accomplished what I wanted to do.

I think Kim is compiling stats on Monday for the challenge. I'm done for workouts until tomorrow...here is where I stand:

Swim: 162 minutes goal 400 minutes
Bike: 264 minutes goal 600 minutes
Run: 115 minutes goal 500 minutes

My training plan has a jump in running minutes the next three weeks. I am driving 1700 miles each way with 3 of my 5 kids for  vacation in two weeks and staying on an island...nothing but paths on the island so it will be great for running and swimming. I'm bringing my bike but it will be a pain to go to the mainland and ride...but I'll do a few rides. I need to get my long rides in before I leave.

How are the rest of you doing toward your goals? We are 1/3 of the way through the month.

Here's where we stand:

Hey!  You shortchanged me on my swim!  I did 4000 yards...

Oops. Well, what you need to do is go change your log to post yds for your cumulative distance for the month rather than meters. Anyone else whose log is like this should as well. Thanks!

It IS in yards.  Were you drinking this weekend?

Heh...you're such a foul-mouthed chick.   Me like...

You lying little wench!  I haven't changed my setup since I STARTED at BT!  I think you're suffering from a lack of alcohol in your system...

Quite possibly true. I'll work on that tonight. But I just wrote down what it said and 4000 yds is 3657.6 meters... now it says 4000. I don't know what changed, but I didn't do it. Go take out your aggression on the smack talk thread.

I already tried that, but I found the rest of the teams to be lacking in the smack department.  I've retired from that thread. 

I still love you, but you need to rectify that alcohol-imbalance...

I still need to do that!!! Tonight!

Well, my Hoss friends, how's everyone's week going?! I had a great run last night and headed to the pool for a swim and water jog this evening!

Awesome workouts last night!  Swam 2250 yards and biked 23 miles.  Got a late start on the bike, otherwise it would've been closer to 30 - guess that's tomorrow's plan then.  Run tonight, in the freaking HEAT - min of 5 miles...and possibly some brick training after that...
