Got a nice little ride in on the new wheels/tires last night, seemed to roll very nicely. They even seemed to soak up some of the crappy country road.After my run tonight, plan on laying all my transition stuff out, going over everything. T1- towel coming out of the pool, towel on the ground with shoes ready to go, helmet & sunglasses on the bike, bike pointing proper way. T2-after racking bike/taking helmet off, running shoes also on towel ready to go, number belt, maybe visor That's really about it, right? |

I did a pool swim last year and no one had towels coming out of the pool. I know I didn't dry anything off, threw on my socks, shoes, and helmet and got going. |

Expert 1067 Douglaston, NY | Subject: RE: The Ghoulie Mentor Group - Full Here's an odd question but one that I struggle with from time to time. What gets you to do your workouts when you should? I always seem to either put them off and then rush to get them done or miss them because something else pops up. I know I want to do them but there is some sort of disconnect between the passion of my mind and reality of my life. For instance, I have some time between when my wife leaves for work and when I do. I have been wanting to workout then but I always find myself doing other things and procrastinating. By the time I get around to it, it is time for me to shower and get ready for work. This usually leads to me cutting one of my scheduled workouts or rushing to get it done with the other one in the evening. I hope this makes sense... |

Hmmm...I heard that your throngs of adoring fans were there with hair dryers and leaf blowers to dry you off as you ran to T1.  The pool tri's I did were the same way - no towels, just a stern looking person to make sure no one slipped as they got out of the pool. I think I am in the minority because I keep a hand towel in T1 to dry and wipe off my feet before putting on my socks and shoes. The rest of me can dry on the bike. |

This usually leads to me cutting one of my scheduled workouts or rushing to get it done with the other one in the evening. I hope this makes sense... I have those days, too. I get home and could go for my run and be done before everyone gets home, but it's nice and quiet in the house so I take a quick nap instead. Sometimes I kick my own azz to get out of the house. There are days I guilt myself to get out of the house. I spent a Sunday morning a few weeks ago watching Nike commercials on YouTube to get pumped up before I got out of the house. You are the only one who can get you going. YOU have to find what motivates YOU! ME? I want to lose a little more weight. I want to be the best Ann I can be. I want to show all of those people who think I can't that I really can. |

This usually leads to me cutting one of my scheduled workouts or rushing to get it done with the other one in the evening. I hope this makes sense... Shawn, I have the same struggle. If I don't get it done before work, it usually doesn't happen. While I can sometimes manage a workout in the evening, I am usually mentally exhausted and I find that the most challenging. So, I've made myself a morning person. I'm usually up before 5am and can manage an hour workout before heading to the office. This doesn't really work for biking, unless on the trainer. Hence, I'm usually light on my bike training. One other trick I've used is good old fashioned bribery. ie, if I go to masters swim, I'll treat myself to a latte or if I get xxx workouts done this week I can buy myself xxx. Nothing big or fancy, but a carrot is better than a stick for me. |

Expert 1694 Illinois | Subject: RE: The Ghoulie Mentor Group - Full ironannekidd - 2010-04-20 9:20 AM Disaster relief TopPage! Disaster Relief Toppage, LOLOL!!!!!! We went out of town (Steve's son got married down in Florida last Friday). I have three cats and hire the teenager, Tyler, across the street to care for them, he is a great kid and does such a good job. When Tyler went over to feed on Sunday morning, there was water pouring from the ceiling in the unfinished part of the basement. He ran home and got his dad, who determined that a water line leading to the toilet in the master bathroom on the first floor had come loose. All the carpeting in the upstairs (three bedrooms, hallway, living room) is saturated. The vinyl flooring in the two upstairs bathrooms is being replaced. We have GINORMOUS fans and dehumidifiers going!!! It sounds like an airplane is firing up in the house, lol!! The good thing is that the finished part of the basement was not affected, and there is a small bedroom and a bathroom down there, so we can stay in the house. The kitchen is ok too. There will probably be some liability on the part of the plumber who installed the toilet, as apparently the line that failed was not up to code. It's been crazy!!!! |
