Royal(PITA)  14270     West Chester, Ohio |  Subject: RE: Kamikaze GeckosRode the battlefield loop x2 tonight. Had a few minutes left to finish the plan and was trying to lightly spin to cool down. Wanted to avoid the butt kicking hill that starts the course and was turning around at the start of it when I went down--no damage but a good bruise on the elbow,. The same one I cut up when I fell a few weeks ago (that fall was walking) .....I finished the ride anyway. Lots of other bikers out there tonight. I couldn't believe the speed 2 guys had on that loop and they were holding the pace for at least 2 laps and riding pace line....sigh, I am so not there. |

I'm seriously thinking that that hill is trying to tell you something....
Maybe you should look for another route. SOunds like it might be safer. !
Glad it was only your elbow and your pride that was bruised!

Glad it was only your elbow and your pride that was bruised! Ha! I think it was trying to humble me for thinking I had gained any bike fitness lately. Seriously, that course always challenges me but tonight I felt like a child in training wheels out there. I can't describe the loop, probably better to look at the map and elevations since I have it in the route tracker...even then some of it just needs a first hand experience to describe.

You'll conquer the hill, you just have to keep at it. |

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: Kamikaze Geckos Today is June 19th, and the month is now 64% finished. Are YOU achieving your goals???? Well, here's a little EXTRA INCENTIVE FOR YOU..... You may now achieve 110% of your individual goals! For example: Your swim goal may now reach 110% Your run goal may now reach 110% Your bike goal may now reach 110% Your "other" goal may now reach 110% What does this mean? - If you want to give yourself an extra push and challenge yourself this month --> GO FOR IT! - If you have a teammate who is lagging --> Here's your chance to HELP YOUR TEAM! Each individual goal will be capped at 110%. (In other words, you can't do 125% of a goal.) This means that you could, conceivably, reach a "super achiever" 110% total. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and do some training! - Dee Edited by D001 2008-06-19 10:12 AM |

Master 1980 Waukesha, WI | Subject: RE: Kamikaze Geckos Ugh, I feel like I am so far behind on my challenges and I really am not. The non bike ride yesterday makes me nervous. Going to have to try to make it up today if the sitter will stay. Yikes. |

Expert 1157 Tremonton, Utah | Subject: RE: Kamikaze Geckos Well, got another 4.5 miles on my feet this morning for the team! I'm at nearly 80 percent of goal now. HOWEVER! Lest anyone think me a sandbagger, I do leave on vacation next Thursday. I'll have to have most of my month done by then, cause I'll be going bankrupt with gas prices driving for 2.5 days! GO TEAM!!

Master 1567 Kauai, Hawaii | Subject: RE: Kamikaze Geckos Should be on track, maybe a little over... what happens if you go over on the other disciplines and don't quite finish one? I ask because I can only ocean swim right now, due to pools being closed, I love ocean swimming but sometimes I get a little freaked out and I am by myself... more on that in my log. |

I'm away from home this weekend, so I'll be able to swim and run, but no bike. (Hopefully will get a bike in before I leave tomorrow...) but in any case, I'm right on track! WHOO WHOO! Keep it up! |

Each activity is considered separately. For example, say "Janie" has this at the end of the month: Swim 105% Bike 95% Run 100% The overall average comes out to 100%. So the highest you could get in any one activity is 110%. Which means if you hit 110% in ALL areas, you'd get that coveted 110% overall average. |

Royal(PITA) 14270 West Chester, Ohio | Subject: RE: Kamikaze Geckos ah, I'm sticking to my training plan and will get my time in at 100% across the board...maybe a bit higher in swimming and running but just barely for biking cause we all know that while I've made a peaceful coexistence with Sweet Mama, I don't jump at the chance to ride too much. It is more fun when I ride with someone ....so glad Jen is on a similar training plan and lives close enough that we get to do that once in a while |

Champion 6107 Out running or enjoying a fine glass of red... | Subject: RE: Kamikaze Geckos Happy Friday, Geckos!!! I got in a bike and a little swim this morning...and now I'm headed to the beach for the weekend. Hoping to practice a little OWS and get some swimming & running in (between relaxing and playing with the fam). I'm going computer-less (YIKES), but I'll post up my stuff on Sunday. (I'm ahead right now, so it shouldn't hurt us for this week's update.) Have a fantastic weekend! |
