Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed (Page 25)

I LOVE swim outlet!  I got $3 swimsuits there once.  They don't last long but at that price you can't pass it! I rotate and when they get really ratty I wear two. hehe.  Tight as a badgers arse I am.

Anyone got any big exercise plans this weekend?    I am totally out of my league when I say this but tomorrow I have a 9 mile trail run, then Saturday I am going to attempt a 50 mile bike ride.  It's mostly all flat with some rolling hills. It's the HIM course I'll be doing in September.  Fun times. I'll puke no doubt.  I suppose if it comes to the worse I can always just do 1 loop, right?

I went to the pool this morning, 7:30 and swam 800 m. 100 m breaststrokes, 100 m freestyle with nose clip and 600 m freestyle without nose clip.

I just bought a Timex with 30 lap count and used it this morning. So much fun!

I love it. Swimming will be a lot more fun and interesting with it. I don't have to count laps in my head, can just push a button every 4 laps and that's easy to remember.

About the weekend, I'm running a 5K race on Saturday morning. First race of the year. Hope it's going to be nice and not to cold. Other then that I'm biking on Sunday, 45 min of indoor biking.

Oh, and I just remembered, I'm going to test swim with the master swim team tomorrow. Maybe I'll join after that. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.

Good luck on your 5K Mia!!  Run like the wind bullseye! And, have fun on that spinathon. Lynne, have fun running those trails. Love trails. You'll get a good idea of your HIM from your weekend plans.

Re: Fuel Belt. I'll chime in here. I have a two holster (is that what it's called?) fuel belt I've used for a couple of years now. I bought the larger bottles than it came with so I have a little more fluids with me. My arms have never hit it. I do have to velcro it pretty tightly around my waist and I've gotten chafing on longer runs, say 14+, but nothing a little body glide didn't take care of. I like my fuel belt, Art. But we're all different and whatever works, I say.

Have a great weekend. This is my last weekend before Oceanside 70.3. I just finished some hill repeats on the bike. I've got a tempo run on Sat. a 2 hour temp ride and :30 brick run on Sunday and then tapering quite a bit. Going from 15 1/2 hours max last week and down to 8 this week, I think. Anyway....have fun everyone and stay safe.

In a few minutes I'm going to go downstairs, take my bike out of the trainer, release it from the basement prison it has been held in since last fall and go outside for a ride.  Life is good!

I bought myself a new timex just last year. The strap on my old completely broke off, I bought that at Target too.  This one however I bought on a website called Woot.com *GO AND CHECK IT OUT!*  It was $40 and came with an IPOD controller.  Wasn't too fussed about the controller I just wanted the watch and it was a good price and a funky colour.   Turns out they are worth over $100 and the controller works brilliantly! I can use my watch to pause it at traffic lights and when I'm crossing the street etc or if someone stops to ask me something *Like, are you a triathlete* Bwahahahahahha.  THe only issue I have is that I have to constantly hit "SPLIT" on this one when I time my swim sets where as before I could do it by starting another time session. Got used to it however so no worries.

I am also a no no on the hitting the button under water, did that with my 1st timex I bought.  Tis the pants. Don't do it.  Shake that beyatch 1st.

This is my watch, same colour n all. I love it.

Am I the only one that did not have our nice little group picture on my site?
I updated it now with Jessie too and a link to this thread.

Congrats you two!! Nice accomplishments and a great way to start the weekend.

I did it! 51 mile ride. Weather was amazing! Upper 60's Brill day.
