Veteran  243   Denver |  Subject: RE: July non TdF challengeyogachic - 2010-07-19 9:36 PM 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. mmm beer! Congrats on the HIM! That's awesome! More beer! |

And you're right, this was a totally awesome toppage! *sigh* I wish I had a great weekend race. We were signed up for a duathlon (5k, 30k, 5k). Our babysitter, aka my sister, showed up 20 mins late. And she lives 5 mins from us. Picture me pacing our driveway checking my watch every 3 seconds. Getting more and more pissed. So.... we didn't make the race. Ugh. |

I don't handle things like that too well. Being late is one of my pet peeves. Just ask the kids in the youth groups I work with how many times I've given the lecture on being late. |

I think she needs a couple dozen tasings before we get out the guillotine. That would be letting her off too easy. |

| Elite 3460 Slackerville, USA | Subject: RE: July non TdF challenge I missed my lunchtime workout yesterday. I needed to get in a swim. Did my ride after work and then had some family fun time so didn't get in a swim or run. I stayed up too late and morning came way too early so I didn't in a morning run. Can't decide if I want to do a run or a ride at lunch. We'll see how things unfold. |

I even have a shirt this time. Edited by pdbman 2010-07-21 11:50 AM |

Well, I live in Chicago, so the beach is on Lake Michigan, so I'm not sure that really counts. Also, I was at the beach where all the triathletes swim, so 95% of the people were wearing wetsuits/tri suits and came on their bike! It's rare to see people in bikinis & "normal" swim attire there! |

Like her car broke down or something. |

| Expert 1246 West Grove, PA | Subject: RE: July non TdF challenge 50 min brick workout at lunch. It was uncommonly hot in the gym (and the locker room) and then about 95 degrees outside. I walked across the street back into my building and two separate people within 2 minutes of eachother asked if I was OK. My shirt was (is) drenched. I'm sitting in front of the fan on HIGH, but it'll be an hour or so before I can leave my office.  |
