Ah cool, I'm not the only one here then.

My wife loves IPAs, so I'll be making them. Even going to put together my own randall.

If I do an event this year, It will be the CDA' Olympic distance. Welcome aboard. Nice to see someone who's in the Northwest. Good luck on your goals. Maybe I'll see you at CDA this year. Go after it.

All 3 of my kids will be doing a Kids Tri in August. They are pretty excited! Need to get the 5 year old off his training wheels since the USAT will not allow them.

Registered for my first Triathlon! No backing out now.
It's next Sunday (I'm a serial procrastinator and the fees go up tomorrow) in scenic Pine Mountain Georgia.

awesome.

Just got off the bike. It was nice and warm at 85 deg.
Averaged just shy of 15 mph for my standard 7 mile loop, which was a personal best for me. Previous best was 14.53 mph.
Makes me feel pretty good for the race next weekend.

Great ride!

Well it's official...my son is a triathlete before I am. He did his race this morning and I'm so proud. He did great and got a real cool finisher medal.

Good luck!!! Still waiting to sign up for my first. Be sure to let us know how it goes!

Thats Great! I'm sure you're a very proud dad. Can't wait for my kids to start racing. Finally have my oldest doing the 1 mile fun run when my wife and I go to races. Hope this will be the first of many for him!

I hate days like today. I'm sure we all do. Went hard on the bike yesterday and my legs were wiped out today. Dreaded the run I had to do. Busy all day with different things. One of which was two hours of practice in the middle of the day with my daughter's softball team. Hot, humid and draining. But I prevailed! Made myself get out of the door for my run when we got home. Not the best, but I did it. "Day off" tomorrow. Probable do some core and strengthening work. My reward...a couple of Abita Restoration Ale. Gonna be good! Hope everyone had a great day!

They say registering is the hardest part - good luck, looking forward to hearing about it next week!

As a dad - I've got to imagine that seeing him compete has got to be as fulfilling if not more fulfilling than doing it yourself. True? Your time is coming!

I'm sure this will come as no surprise to those who have been members of previous groups with me - but I'm on the DL again. Last week - I took a pretty good fall of my bike while going over a speed bump. I was sore at the time but I was able able to get my ride in but as the week has progressed, the pain in my back has increased to the point that it's hard to walk. It's sore but moving around specifically landing on my right foot is incredibly painful. And the pain is different from the pain from early this year.

I've got a message today and an x-ray tomorrow.

In other news - I'm working my butt off to get everything buttoned up so I can finish the school year and start my vacation. Can. Not. Wait.

Congrats to your son! I can't wait to watch my kids do their Tri later this summer.

Confession time. I am up to 208. For a 5'6" frame, that's a lot. I am turning over the leaf today. I am going to register for the CDA' triathlon this week and start training for it in earnest tomorrow. My goal is to finish MOP, and get to the starting line at 185. The event is in August.

Weekly goals:
Start OLY plan and do each workout s/b/r 2x
Limit poor food and beverage choices after 6PM.
Lose 3 pounds.

Just got back from 3 mile run. everything's all healed up, and I'm ready to do this.

I had to post this here, so that I would be held accountable, and do it. In the last 3 seasons, this has been an excellent motivator for me. BDAS is where it's at.

Kevin we're the same height!

I need IPA suggestions for DH for Father's Day. He's fixing my roof rack right now in the heat. I might run out and grab a six pack now.

Man, I hate to hear that. From your post the other day it seemed that you were going to bounce back after your soreness went away. Hopefully the doc will have good news for you after your x-ray!

Good luck wrapping things up and getting on with your sabbatical. I know you must be looking forward to it. I'm just plain giddy for the time I get off in the summer. Can't imagine a whole year. I'd get in way too much trouble! Let us know how your appointment goes.

Not sure what you have but Lagunitas makes some pretty good IPA's...

My hating the day is a little different, spent a weekend off in Seattle, good food and beer (Hales and McMenamins), and slept right through my morning swim this morning. It's going to be a long week.

Was a good weekend in Seattle though. McMenamin's has a super sticky stout that use to be really coffee flavored, they've been working on it and it's now caramelly and gently sweet. Was a nice pint.

That's bad news, hope the imaging sheds some light. Get better.

Congrats on making it happen! You are going to have a blast and I hope you enjoy every minute.

DQ's weekly goals: 1) Get over this pain in my back by becoming an icing machine, 2) Beat last year's time for my race on Saturday (31:00), 3) Support fellow BDAsers by posting to the forum every day
