Friday I just felt "off"... ended up skipping any workout and falling asleep the kids.  Wild Friday night, I know...  Tongue out

 

Yesterday I ended up taking a nap on the counch in the afternoon and then had a really hard time getting moving.  I did do an easy ride just to watch yesterday's stage. I guess my body just really needed some rest!  I feel much better today and got a great ride in!  Logs and spreadsheet all up to date too... 

 

Hope everyone else is having a great weekend andgetting lots of riding in!

ugh, I can't believe how slack I've been, sorry folks, putting my workouts in now.  Last week really messed up my plans.

Ok, have my butt in gear, everything entered, I'll eat up those miles in no time.

Waiting for a plan from my coach, I was off for a couple weeks since my racing was so bad.  No more races that suit me this year so I'm going to get ready for Cyclocross season that starts in August/September.

How is everyone else doing?

Another stage in the books, 5th stage completed and another 56 miles in the books. I have updated the spreadsheet.

 

Very nice

Also upping our post count totals I've let us down so far, but I'll make up for it this week : )

Rhoda, no worries I think that happens to all of us better to listen to your body and take time off when you need. Besides I think we all need to be rested as we have a lot of catching up to do!

Happy Monday Everyone! 

What are everyones plans for the week?

Hey guys I will get 3 to 4 rides this week for sure and I may even do one today after my swim this afternoon. I am coming off a 15 hour week of training for last week. All my races are in July, August and Sept. so I have been trying to pick up the effort as the first Tri is the end of July. I am hoping to knock off another 100+ miles this week on the bike. Hope everyone else is doing well and hopefully we can make up some ground on these other teams this week.

Happy Monday Everyone! 

What are everyones plans for the week?

Hmmm...  probably biking each day, but alternating between good long trainer rides and short trainer rides to catch up on the days's stage.  Although tonight I wanted to run then bike a little with hubby while watching the new Dallas.  This week is going to be crazy.  We're going on vaca next week and this week is the usual craziness of trying to do 2 weeks of work, start to pack things up, workout and not totally neglect the kids...

 

Next week, I will rock though!!  We're heading to Chincoteague where I can basically bike everywhere.  : )

Rhoda no worries do whatever you can do this week. I have been doing what you are planning to do next week and have been taking advantage of my time off to get as much training in as I can. I got another 20 miles in on the bike tonight so I am good shape for both the stage and mileage goal.

I probably went a bit low on both but since I didn't have my plan ready and I was a week behind I had to put some estimates in.

 

Had my 3rd ride tonight, we have 2 more weeks so plenty of time left.

Sorry I've been MIA... Got my first ride in yesterday.  Tomorrow I've got a 1 hour/15mile ride planned.  Not sure how the rest of the week is going to go as I will be out of town visiting my fiance, but I'm hoping to get at least one more ride in this week.

Emma good job and whatever you can do will go a long way to getting us back into this challenge. I think we still have plenty of time to make up some ground on the other teams.

It's my first season doing Tri's so I didn't do any of the earlier races that I could have done in May or June just to give myself more time to get ready. I can't wait to get that first one in the books though.

I think so but like all triathletes I still worry whether I am or not and if I've done enough training especially for the swim. I know I can do the distances I just need to trust in the training I put in for this.
