I had it all planned out. I was even a little late for work because I needed to get my stuff together so I could go for a ride at lunch. Then I go and leave my jersey behind. It wouldn't go over very good to come back to work wearing a sweaty shirt so I had to skip the ride. I almost drove to the lbs to buy another one but I already have plenty and by the time I would make it back I wouldn't have time for a ride. Why did I take that extra shirt out of my bag the other day? Sans shirt? Was that an option? I considered this for a moment but then decided against it 1-I didn't want to blind any unfortunate people that happened to drive by. 2-Its been so long since my back has seen the sun that I would look like a lobster by the time I finished my 30 minute ride. LOL - you could have been a Scooby-Doo episode! I hear you on the sunburn... burnt backs are the second worst (right behind burning the back of your knees) I guess if I were European, there could be worse still, but we won't go there... |

Sunburned arm pits wouldn't be much fun either, but you only have to worry about that if you shave them. |

Then I realized that the 23rd is Friday not Saturday so now I have to squeeze in another ride. Wait, but the TdF challenge goes until the 25th, right? Which is a Sunday? I hope so, because that's how I set up my goals! http://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=214750&posts=111&start=1 |

Expert 1163 | Subject: RE: July non TdF challenge Ok, so I've only read this page, and it looks like I've missed so much! Guillotines, Mr Sparky, sunburned armpits? Lol, man, the things I miss when I go out of town! Anyways, I did my HIM yesterday and came back today... Then immediately went for a recovery run & beer  I think that was the hardest thing I've ever done! I've heard people say that marathons are harder than HIM's, but I'm a much better runner than cyclist so I thought this was harder! But I hit all my expected time goals (they weren't really goals... just estimations of how I thought I'd do based on training) and coincidentally I got almost the exact same time for my half marathon split as I did for my first half marathon race last September! So that definitely means I'm a stronger runner since I'm the same speed as before even after the swim and bike. |

Most importantly - what kind of beer? |

I'll be able to count my Saturday ride. We're going out of town this weekend again and I'm considering doing an ows and riding the 50+ miles around the lake. Not only will it be fun but I can count the ride for the Tdf challenge. You've just made my day. My timing is a little off though. If I had gone last weekend or if I were to go next weekend then I would have been able to do a tri while I was there. Oh well. I do what I can. |

Elite 3460 Slackerville, USA | Subject: RE: July non TdF challenge All you people make me feel like a total slacker. I guess I am since I'm on the slacker list. I was feeling pretty good about my workout last night but it sounds like I was still a slacker since you are all talking about your workouts that put mine to shame. I did a practice tri last night and followed that up with some strength training. It wasn't anything spectacular but I did ok. One thing about a tri, it really shows you where your weaknesses are. I was feeling good about my run but after the swim and ride, it wasn't quite up to par. I better focus on my running a little more. |
