Tri Curious - closed (Page 23)

I did the Crappy Winter Weather Challenge this year! I will see you there next winter.

lol isnt it funny when you haven't got a workout booked and you've chosen to ignore a routing because your rushed off your feet that you probably get more workout ins than you would normally. I think it's because I feel guilty that I haven't been out and also the weather was lush today (cold but sunny)

I went out on my bike, on an unplanned route - very dangerous I ended up going up a very steep hill where I had to walk the steepest past which moved my time to slow. I also learnt cyclign isn't my strongest point like I thought it was going to be - I used to be an avid rider when I was younger hadn't done it in years and thought I could just pick it up easily - if today is anything to judge by I have a lot of work to do before september.

My aim is 20km in 40mins, except today I was out for 37.53 and only did 7.75 - although I did go up a long steep hill but that is no excuse. At least I know where i am at and I feel great that I got out and about :D

harlequinduck - 2011-03-04 8:28 PM I'll have to check out the Crushers.

Hm, how to explain? OK...... Every month, there is at least one Challenge in the Challenge forum. And some months, the teams are chattier than other months..... The Ghoulies were a *really* chatty team. They stayed together as a team for the next several challenges. They became the 'team to beat,' -- and so another team named themselves the "Ghoulie Crushers" (aka 'Crushers.') So if you go into the Challenge forum, you'll see both Ghoulies and Crushers threads. If you want to join the Crushers' March Challenge -- just go there and let 'em know you'd like to join. It's sort of like arriving while a conversation is in progress, but they welcome newcomers so don't hesitate to post something in the thread. I would have liked to do the March Challenge, but I think I need to figure out how to breath without wheezing and coughing.... So I'm sitting out this month.

Are you a Ghoulie Dee? I know that you came onto the Crusher team in the past few challenges when the Ghoulies weren't playing.

Looks like the workouts are progressing and people are doing well. Way to go everyone!! Even some of our sick, injured, and crazy busy are back at it. Yay!

My workouts took a dip this week - knee issues. It's been chronically intermittent (sounds like oxymoron, doesn't it?) for years - both knees. Fine one minute, incapacitated the next, then all of sudden, fine again. Episodes last few hours to few days. Finally went in for eval this week; waiting on MRI results.

But....knee was better by Friday, so was able to do the Y-tri today. No awards for me, but I did finish. Might be the DFL (don't know actual results yet), but at least not the DNF or DNS.

Goal for March is to get another training program chosen and get moving on it. 5K in April and sprint tri in Sept.

Rainy weekend here but hasn't affected indoor training. Hope y'all are having a good one!!!

Races are so much more fun than normal training! I have a 10km run two Saturdays from now that I'm looking forward to. Have a good time!

Alright guys and girls I completed my first CAT 5 race..Finished 16 out of 24 riders..56K distance had a 20 mph average.. The wind was brutal and the temperature kept dropping after the rain left..Overall had a good time, it was a great training ride..

Way to hang in there and do the event..It takes a lot of will power to do that...Let us know your MRI results.. I had knee surgery last Feb. and was able to do seven events last year five Olympics and two sprints.. Keep your head up..
