Shermbelle's Group Full and training our a$$es off (Page 20)

Lisa is on the clock. Next Sunday is showtime!!! Best of luck and let us know how it goes.

Great news man, glad to hear the recovery is going along so well. Keep us updated.

Ryan... so happy to hear you are having such a speedy recovery!! If only the bike could heal itself along with you :-)

I had a race this weekend, another sprint and I was pretty happy with how I did! My training lately has been more run focused for the upcoming death race in a couple weeks... so I haven't been swimming or biking much at all, which is evident in my times! The swim was on par with the last swim time, bike was a bit faster (the course was flat flat flat..) and the run was a minute faster! Go figure!

I finished in 1:26:41 (750S,  20KM bike, 5k run), 6th/16 in my age group, 54/95 total.  My actual times and stuff are in the log.

Last weekend, I went down to try out my leg of the death race (www.canadiandeathrace.com) ...leg #2... oh sweet mother... it was the HARDEST thing I've ever done in my entire life!!! I wanted to cry haha it's about 3/4 of a marathon, with two mountain summits in the middle...(6500 ft summits).. I've never experienced anything like this in my entire life. It took 6 hours for us to go 25km or something (a little shorter than the actual leg..).. it was hiking straight up, and straight down, up and down...down and up... for the entire time.. no break! It was the first time in my life where I reached the point where your mind takes over and your body just is forced to follow. It showed me that I'm stronger than I thought I was, and able to put up with a hell of a lot of pain !! The last 5 miles are virtually all straight down hill on slippery gravel, I thought my knees were going to bust right out of the skin, thought my toes were broken, thought I was going to die... but once you get to the bottom, stuff yourself with food, rest... it's funny how your body is just fine...

It was an insane experience.. and now I have to do it for real in two weeks... I'm totally freaking out !!

Awesome picture of me!!

I wish!! How sweet would that be?!

(FYI>.. I lived in France for a year, and did gallop through the country side... too bad it wasn't along side the tour!!) 

When was the race?? oh a week and a half ago. ok I will get on that today

 >>>>>>>>''''h o l d i n g    b r e a t h """<<<<<<<<

okay okay, TONIGHT I get on it ( I hope)

I was lost but now am found...whew

It has been a whirlwind few weeks here and need to get back on track. Haven't updated my logs in a while or checked in on the group.

It is true I am in for IM Lou next year and we should have a pace group. Who's in

timdude - 2008-09-10 9:46 AM Our fearless leader has signed up for IMLOU 09. Let have the rest of the group sign up excluding me of course and have a Team Shermbelle's pace group. Tim (who hasn't even done a sprint tri and shooting for a 2011 IMLOU start)

Yeah but you have a marathon under your belt so just get on that bike and hang out for a while and you'll be fine

Speak up, I can't hear you.
