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! I missed my calling in life - those clutter free shows - I would rule on that. Sure I will come out and help but be ready for some harshness about the packratting i missed my calling too, BILL. im the declutter queen. i love it! you and me. a declutter-off.  BRING IT ON! a new bike workshop, schweet. when you got it all set up, can i bring my bike in, the gears been slippin just a tad and i need these new aerobars installed.... enjoy the pool...... stacieb Edited by skrtrnr 2009-08-13 7:14 AM |

Hopefully it will clear up and I can ride later. So right after I posted that, everyone comes in and no one wants to be the one that says let's not ride. Welcome to our Alpha Male world. It took us 2H 22M to do 40 miles. Luckily, the rain was light so it wasn't as bad as I expected. Actually felt comfortable compared to the heat wave we've been riding in lately. Hope everyone is having a great day. -Boz |

I'm in the Army (21 years now). I'm in a unit where everything is a competition. Seven of us signed up for a Century race on Labor Day so we've been trying to ride as much as we can in order to get ready. When we're not deployed we train our behinds off trying to get ready for the next deployment. It does make it difficult staying in racing shape only being able to train intermittently. |

MT. ALPACA had NOTHING on me. i guess mentally i had conjured up this HUMONGOUS hill that by the time we got there, i thought, gee, THIS is Mt. Alpaca. it was a burner dont get me wrong and it came EARLY in the ride the so that helped. but suffice is to say, there was NO need to swipe an Alpaca to hitch him to my bike to pull me up the hill. i climbed just fine on my own thank you very much. stacieb durn...now what am I to do with this alpaca I got for you!? sure you dont want him??? |

| Elite 2729 Puyallup, WA | Subject: RE: Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge Hi all...so I have like 10 pages to catch up to, but I'll go ahead and post a quick update. I too did my race (and yes race report is up). I GUESS I was ok with my race. I finished and my time wasn't TERRIBLE compared to my first and only other race. I've been busy with work and boys lately  - it's been tiring! |

| Elite 2729 Puyallup, WA | Subject: RE: Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge One win from this race is that I actually feel like training after. I still don't have a solid base - that I'm ok with - and I have motivation to work on it! Which is good for the challenge :-) I do believe that will be my last tri for the season - but I found a duathlon the middle-ish of next month that looks like it would be a good "change" of pace... I also started doing weights again yesterday - - - GO ME!! |
