SWBKRUN MENTOR GROUP - OPEN (Page 22)

That must be so great to have him back in town and so hard to have him leave again!  Enjoy the SBR and whatever else you two choose to do! 

I'm watching!!! I LOVE the TdF, it's great to see Corsica. We had our honeymoon there, we spent the first week in a tiny stone cottage overlooking the sea then drove to Calvi and stayed in a hotel in the old town on the fortified headland. I've still got the hotel towel!

It's Wednesday again folks.  The time sure flies when you're training.  Who's toeing the line this weekend? 

Let's talk about the first time ...........  the first time you completed a triathlon.  What were your fears?  What do you remember?  What did you learn?

No racing for me.  I'm still playing tourist....Boston this time.  Same handsome tour guide.....new city.

Let the comments fly

I am racing the First ever Huntsville off road Tri for Ole Glory tomorrow. The forecast is 100% chance of rain.

Speaking of rain thats what it did during my first Tri. It was about 44 F and rained the whole time. I remember The water being warmer than the temp outside. My fear was not finishing and the swim. I learned that even in unfavorable conditions I can do anything I put my mind to. I learned that layers can be agood thing on the bike glad i packed a jacket that morning. I also learned that there will usually be ppl slower and faster than you at the three events.

Not racing....taper time so I can finish Vineman in the same timezone as Kim!!!  10 days - but if this heat doesn't stop, don't know what I'll do.  Day six of over 100 degrees.

My first one was Wildflower Long Course (HIM) in May of 2009.  What a way to start.......

No racing here either.   My first race really was a learning experience.  The swim nearly did me in, but I somehow managed to survive.  You can read all about it here:   http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=177462

Jayne: that bike looks really heavy...definitely not carbon...get Bruce to turn around so that you guys are both peddling in the same direction.

I am in the market for a new watch since I lost mine. If anyone has a garmin 310 or 910 they want to sell let me know. I would like the quisck disonnect since I still have the accessories.

Thanks

My Mac wouldn't let me open it either!!

Actually, that link does not work either.  I'm thinking it is a BT bug, but not positive.  Try this:

Nice race, Mike.  The link bounced me out a few times, but when I went in through the race reports forum, it worked.  ARGH.  Not liking this new BT!!!

I had a BIG day - not like Suzy's BIG days, but big.  I got a new wetsuit, brand new, from a local Pro - a TYR Hurricane Cat5.  I'm thinking it's going to take MEGA time off my swim.  MUCH more time than mere practice could do.  Excited about this.....and a LITTLE concerned.  By the charts TYR posts, I'm between S/M and M.  WAY closer to S/M, and this suit is an M.  I tried it on - wow.  WAY nicer than my el-cheapo 4 year old Orca, but a bit long.  We'll see!  It may have room to install a small motor in it.  WIN!

Got a bike fit from a locally renown fitter.....with Jeff, so we were there for almost 6 hours.  REALLY changed up my bike.  Feels much better, but different.  He told us it would take a few weeks to settle in - with Vineman in 8 days????  Ah, well.  B race, I guess.

Question to all of you muscle people:  My hip flexors (especially left) aren't working (one legs drills are IMPOSSIBLE) and my quads are hugely tight.  Any advice??

Hope eveyone had a great 4th celebration - I MAY have had one margarita too many.  Trying to figure out where to put it - carbs? fruit?  Hmmmmm........

Well done Mike, the link Dan gave worked.

Nice ride Suzy, just sprints next year?? We'll see....

Hope you enjoy the new wetsuit Linda, I love my HUUB Aerious! I need to find an excuse to use it again. As far as the hip flexor issue, do some squats an see if it helps.

HA!!!  I call BS!
