kimk - 2010-06-26 1:18 PM just finished up a nice 42 mile bike ride followed by a 1 mile run...could have run longer but seeing that I just did 10 miles yesterday I didn't want to push it! over all the legs feel good but still a bit worried about my race on the 18th, not sure how the legs will do with another 14 miles on the bike, I was ready to get off it today

I need to find a way to like the long rides...expecially if I want to do IMWI next year!

Nice workout!!! 42miles is serious distance...

yes and no...I am doing Racine HIM in 3 weeks and need to go 56miles! then that little run they put at the end...so not ready for this but will still gut it out and cross the finish line with a smile on my face!

Just updated the spreadsheet, sorry I have been slacking in that department...but I am at goal for swim and still have 1 more to do, over goal for my run and still have 1 more to do and will hit my last bike tomorrow. I am a bit behind on my 4th goal but think I can squeak it in.

Hi team,
Had a tough race yesterday. The Philly Olympic Tri was switched to a Du because tragically a swimmer passed away in the water during the sprint race on Saturday. Very, very sad story.

The race itself was brutally hot with temps over 90 by the time I was finishing. They actually closed the course early due to the heat. My RR is up if you want all the details. I haven't updated the spreadsheet yet, but will do so tonight and will make sure I have my final #'s in there Thursday.

pdbman - 2010-06-25 11:18 AM Frustrating night last night. My wife and I were going to go to the gym but when I got home, she had to talk. Nothing against talking. I know you ladies have a need to talk and us guys need to listen but timing is a big thing. She talked right up until we had to leave to be able to get in a workout before the gym closes. Then I couldn't find my goggles (took them out of my bag to fit the stuff for my running race last weekend). By the time I finally found them, the pool was closing in 15 minutes. So we went to the high school track instead.
Couldn't the talking have waited until after the workout? What's up ladies? Can you help me understand this?

Coming from one of the "ladies"....I would have to say if you had plans to go workout then that is what should have come first....UNLESS what she needed to talk about was important to her and something she could not put off until later. Did you actually listen to what she was saying or were you stewing about missing your workout? If you were stewing and not paying attention I would say for next time asking her if you could sit down and talk after the WO so you can give her your full attention/ but then you need to do that! I am still waiting to talk to hubby about important issues that he keeps putting off. Good luck to you!

It was the daily "Let me tell you about my day." Which made me wonder why it had to be before instead of after the workout. I've found that if I suggest talking about it later, for whatever the reason, then she clams up and I suffer the consequences. I haven't figured out how to handle this type of situation yet.

Hi team! I'm back from vacation. I got a bunch of training in, but still have more to do. For the rest of the month, I have:

swim: 3,000 meters
bike: 11.12 miles
run: 7.55 miles
strength: 2 workouts

I'm not sure I will get it all done, but I will get pretty close to finishing my goals.

D001 - 2010-06-27 1:15 PM How am I going to wog today? It was 94 F this morning. And now we're under a severe thunderstorm warning. Sheesh....

BTW, I love thunderstorms. It's like a giant taser.

You could go all Hamster and get on a dreadmill... Me, I'm waiting until close to dark...

Yeah, I *used* to actually like the dreadmill. Now, I just dread it. I hate being hamster-like..... So yes, I'm waiting until dusk, too. But I wanted to wog LAST night, and I didn't. If I keep slacking off, I'm going to have to taser myself.

Sounds kinky.

I'm with you, the dreadmill will make an appearance this winter again, but for the time being I am going to be outside... On the other hand, I have done like 90% of my biking on my CT in the garage this summer... I look at that as risk mitigation.... Plus, I get a way better workout than stopping every mile or less for a stop sign or stoplight...

I used to enjoy the dreadmill as well but haven't stepped on it for a long time. Luckily we have the Olympic Speedskating Oval close by, which is completely enclosed and has a track around it. Annual membership is $99 for the family and you get unlimited use of the track and can go skating any time you want. Now if its too hot or too cold, I head to the oval for a nice climate controlled run.

So you could do a custom tri today, then do strength training on Tuesday and Wednesday and have it all done. Way to go.

We did some home shopping Saturday. We're not looking to buy, although I would like to move into a home like some that we looked at. My wife is a catalog coordinator and has a catalog photo shoot coming up. She likes to set them up at model homes. Save money on props and is free advertising for the builders. Anyway. There seems to be a price point where just a little bit more money buys so much more home. I want to go and spend just a little more money.

Considering how chatty everyone was this weekend, I'm surprised that we've only had one post since yesterday afternoon. It must have been a busy night last night.
