Logging my training is going to be hit and miss! I HATE being computer-less, especially when I'm on travel and don't have much else to do. Right now I'm sitting in the common area at the hotel (trying to get caught up on work stuff), but I can't sit here all night! Anyway, have a great week everyone! DAMN IT ALL TO HELL, CHERI. i hate computer issues. hope yours resolve quickly. stacieb |

Champion 6225 | Subject: RE: Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge ebshot - 2009-08-11 7:09 PM A sub 2 hour half mary, huh, Stacie? Go you!  I am aiming for a pr if I do mine. I would really like a 2:15 but think 2:20 would be realistic if I get my training pulled together. I need to look and see if there is another half a bit later in the fall. I'd love to come out and do your's Stacie but I bet Bry won't let me. He's a party pooper! Something about buying a house and all.  i'd be great to have you here in the Burgh, ERICA. I know ive said this a bunch of times, but The Spirit of Pittsburgh is gonna be a great race. i understand....the husband/party pooper/buying a house. maybe we can meet sometime in the middle. where would that be exactly?? when i did my 1/2 later year, i was online to run a 2:05-2:10 1/2 MARY and then the humidity zapped me (seems to be a theme with me), so my pace was off and i finished at 2:23. it didnt bother me, even the 5:30 min miler was 7 mins off his pace when he finished. i figured 10-15 mins wasnt so bad. humidity shouldnt be an issue in November. im hoping for a cool, crisp morning (very possible) with light rain. but a sub 2 is DEFINATELY a BIG 'IF" if i can get someone to pace me, or im in with a pace team..... if im feeling good. my legs are feeling good if i can hold up to the rigors of training for the distance if my foot holds up. IF i want to work that hard.... we shall see. and that would be best race. and well, ive learned, especially this weekend, in life, you never count on best race. but at least i have something aim for. stacieb Edited by skrtrnr 2009-08-12 8:13 AM |

Extreme Veteran 337 Houston | Subject: RE: Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge I think you can do it! You can do anything you put your mind to. I always try to push as far as I can without extreme pain. (more the HTFU pain and you can do it). I have also read that sometimes the initial wall is your body switching over energy sources (calories to glycogen or something like that). While I am not positive I have found that if I can just zone out the first wall and fight for a few minutes I can perform a little better... Just what works for me...lol |

Here's a pic of Harley making sure we don't run anyone over. Rocky was laying down in the back so he's not in the pic. BozNC - 2009-08-08 10:42 AM I did a short mountain bike ride with my wife. Not sure if I'll have time to do anything else today. She's only in town for the weekend and then back to work so we'll probably take the boat out for some family fun. Maybe if I feel good I'll jump in and do an open water swim, or I may just have a beer or two and call it a day. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
sounds like a very adventuresome weekend...hope you enjoyed your valued time with the wifey..... is this a ski boat or a sailboat or yacht that you speak of?  Cant see the pics...but IM sure its a beauty! think I will go to your album to see if it is better seen there!....am I the only one not seeing it? |

Time for fall cleaning. Did get some rides and runs in so I can update the spreadsheet to make it look good but tomorrow looks like a good old fashion cleaning day - bleck. See you on Wednesday - Lord willing and if the creek don't rise power outages? creek rising? where are you? and are you building an arc in your basement?? |

enjoy the MUCH deserved time off! now why are you leaving the bag behind...but taking 3 stowaways...shouldnt it be the other way around!?!? yea. i wish i could left the three behind too. my oldest son, soon to be THIRTEEN, whom weve trusted enough to leave home alone and/or 'in charge' of my two youngest children for short periods of time, decided that playing w a WHOLE BOX OF MATCHES was GOOD IDEA that last time he was here by himself (FRIDAY night) now i dont trust any further than i can throw him, which actually would have been FAR considering how angry i was at him...and still am. the days of leaving the children behind are GONE. sniff. it was safer to leave the bag. stacieb wow...do we need to get him a new wii game? was he bored? or making a statement!!? i have no idea why he did what he did except he lacks common sense.... well, no idea why, that's not totally true, but...a longer story, for another day. he said he didnt know why he did it. oh man. i hope its not some statement. i asked him if he was angry or upset or sad or scared about something. he said no. the wii's coming in Oct-Nov. hopefully he wont burn the house down before then. stacieb I dont know why I am telling you what to look for!??!?!! haha...I forgot what your background is! tee hee...silly me! its ok JULES. i can miss it too, sometimes. even WITH the letters behind my name and the certification on the wall. i did wonder if maybe he's getting anxious about school starting in a few weeks. the BIG BAD MIDDLE SCHOOL. its SCARY growing up. scared is a feeling according to him he doesnt 'have'. he has ASPERGERS SYNDROME. its been tough. but we're on it. stacieb Betcha that anxiety had something to do with it. Big change going to middle school. Have you guys toured the school yet? If you figure out how to teach him that missing common sense, let me know how, will ya? ETA: Why are the quotes all messed up??????? I shall make my addition pink. NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE QUOTES. JULES STARTED IT THOUGH. as for the anxiety....that's what i figure. the autistic support team had a week long day camp for the kids at the school. so they did all these fun activities while getting acclimated at the same time. (though the probably didnt realize it, they were having too much fun....) they have another orientation thats seperate/smaller for all the kids in his group, that will come up the week before school starts. i dunno. i think he's gonna be anxious regardless. but manohpete PLEASE dont burn the house down. stacieb yup...its all my fault! haha I see how you are! |

'09-'10 BETTER STRONGER FASTER. stacieb There you go! That is exactly what you need to do. Enjoy some down time at HHI with the family. Take a break from the structured training and then focus on your half when you get back. Winter is a great time to build a better base for the 2010 season. You had a fantastic first tri season and I'm sure you will see vast improvements next season! I couldn't have said it better...coming from another in the same exact boat!! I'm still working out but I have another week of just kind of playing it by ear before I start up my 1/2 mary training...it's kind of funny how our first tri season has almost mirrored each other, Stacie!! FUNNY. MICHELE. i was thinking the same thing... considering doin' a 1/2 IM next May/June by chance? that would be weird if you were. stacieb NOOOOOOO Stacie??? I really want to do my first HIM here in HI and since we will be leaving in Apr 2011 I am looking at one in June! I just don't think I can get my swimming up to par so it's doubtful but it is in the back of my mind! YOU CAN DO IT!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

Champion 7546 Santa Cruz, California | Subject: RE: Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge ebshot - 2009-08-11 9:06 AM I am STARVING!!! This getting up at 5:00 is killing my eating! I eat breakfast WAY too early and then am STARVING by 10:00. Boo. sounds like me when I swim...i get out and be careful if you walk past me....I may want to take a bite of your arm! I cant get home fast enough to fix a snack or lunch.... it is good though that you are eating when you get up...getting your metabolism going...then eat healthy snacks when you get hungry. I always have almonds and fresh fruit near by...in fact I just cut up a HUGE watermelon for todays fruit snacks... go eat girl...dont be hungry...just makes you want to pig out at lunch! or it does me anyways! |

Champion 7546 Santa Cruz, California | Subject: RE: Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge wgraves7582 - 2009-08-11 1:36 PM suweeeeeeeeeeeeet - does that mean you are volunteering to come and help me clean my garage out!? sounds like you are a pro and I could use that now! I am trying to simplify and have been making huge progress in the house....now its time for the garage! problem is...its JAM PACKED FULL! can I borrow your friends trailer to make some hauls to the garbage and to goodwill????Afternoon team. Pretty much wrapped the basement clean out process. Time to relax until 9:00pm tonight when my buddy shows up with his dump trailer and the driveway gets cleared out. Glad we are not packrats and now we are even less of packrats. My DW asked if I would rather be cleaning out the basement or sitting around work and I told her she would not understand but I much preferred the physical work of cleaning out the basement. She just laughed. Football practice with a 4 mile run thrown in then tomorrow it is back on the bike - yeah! Got a great nap in also - which was awesome - I love naps - I think they should be required by law daily! i try to think Im not a pakrat...but if you saw my garage...youd think otherwise...time to clean it out! |

Champion 6225 | Subject: RE: Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge Tminus 37 hours and 17 minutes until we leave on VACATION and its just stupid hot here. somehow hot isnt as stupid when youre at the beach. funny how that is. heading out this eve with a group that did the Tri for a celebratory group ride. first time on this route for me, they ride it routinely. theres a climb theyve named MOUNT ALPACA. i may regret making this decision. i not in the mood to climb anything, much less a mountain. LOL. though i really want to ride w the group. we havent seen each other since the HOTTER THAN HELL TRI. too bad i cant ride the Alapaca up the hill instead of the bike. stacieb Edited by skrtrnr 2009-08-12 2:47 PM |

HEY JULES. NOPE. neither of those. just plain. my kids are BORING when it comes to their pizza. im all about veggies too! we bought a whole plain pizza (my dh is boring too....) and i bought myself two individual slices with red peppers, mushrooms and had them add onions. oh yum! the more veggies the better. i cant wait until we get to Hilton Head, they have this AWESOME pizza place and they have a VEGGIE WEDGIE on their menu - its essentially a slice of pizza folded over and stuffed with cheese and vegetables. YUMMY. |
