Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I sometimes get about a half a step ahead o my wife and it annoys her like no other. I am always conscious of it because she told me one time it makes her feel slow or like she isn't running well. Problem solved and we avoided any conflict around it! I enjoy our runs together and will even carry water for us both. I can think of a few runs she didn't want to wear the fuel belt that I carried hers and was wearing mine. |

It's been awhile since I've contributed to the group, but just wanted to quickly pop in and say thanks for all of the support, advice, info, etc. Being a golf pro, this is my busy time at work, then throw IM training on top of that, it leaves very little time for anything else. Whatever little slivers are left are spent with my family. I hope everyone is doing well. Hopefully I can jump back in to the group after all this is over next week. I'll be thinking about everyone when I toe the line in Louisville this Sunday. Thanks again. You guys rock! Have a great race Chris! |

At least your spouse has interest in running with you! Man I think I would considering run backwards a couple of times a week if that what it took to get Shelly out running / riding with me! ![]() But really, maybe you should say something to him about his running in front of you, seems easy enough to fix. Doesn't he like pace booty? |

Though I might be inclined to run 10 feet behind her ![]() |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Cool kayak, Tracy! That looks like tons of fun. I didn't know you lost a tooth recently! Kyla-and all of the couples that run together, and even train tri together, that is pretty awesome and a serious testament to the strength of your relationship. Funny how it is the guys running just in front of their "women"...must be a protective thing...never know what might jump out of the bushes and such... that 7/10th of a mile was just the garmin exaggerating ![]() We are having a wonderful tropical heat wave here! Finally, after months of fog and cold and wind this summer, it is in the 80's 100's and I had a planned morning off today! Went to swim at the outdoor pool and was in heaven...slow heaven, but heaven anyways. Have a wonderful day, all. I'm off to read some RR's as soon as I get to work, LOL. Had to edit the temp, our car temp said 102! Wowza! ![]() Edited by kt65 2010-08-24 4:41 PM |

Today he called me mid-day asking me all kinds of swim questions...seems he spent a lot of time at the pool today. I'm thinking the bug has bit ![]() |

![]() Totally off tri topic, but wanted to let you guys know my Dad started treatment today. I know it is early, but talked to him this afternoon and he feels really good...said it was earlier than the 3 days of prep he went through in July. Hopefully the next 9 weeks will go smoothly and we will put this behind us. Thanks to everyone for all the kindness and prayers! |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() sdalessio - 2010-08-23 6:49 AM dalessit - 2010-08-22 5:34 PM My son's first full tri was today also, we were racing about the same time but Sam recorded it for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udeZ09nEqPo It's about 8:00 worth of coverage and you can hear my daughter screaming because she wants the camera, and Sam giving him transition tips. I do like the first part where he gets in the swimmers position to start and the RD tells him he can't start that way. Also at the end another kid passes him as they get close and he kicks it up a notch. Pretty funny we both called each other at the end of our races to see how each other did. He had a great time and told me he was really looking forward to his next race which is actually in a couple of weeks. Oh, and I think I'll try that jumping jack warmup at my next race to see how it goes. What cracked me up about the race was that the kids got timing chips! So he should get all 5 splits when they post the final results. :-) Sorry so late, but this was just the cutest thing ever...I smiled for the whole 7 minutes! Awesome! Loved how the volunteer helped him get his socks on right. Loved the kid who was running next to Drew who still had his bike helmet on. Awesome! |

No workout because it was time for Rockie to go to a better place. You gave us 18 great years! Everybody is taking it pretty hard. Sorry to hear that, we had to deal with that a few months ago, it was tough. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() So I am focusing the rest of the year on running. Sam and I are doing OBX half-marathon in Nov with some of the neighbors. I went to the Mcmillian running calendar and entered the 2 mi TT I did a few weeks ago to get an idea what I might be looking at. Looking at the 5k time it spit out I thought my PR was better than that so I looked it up, it was also done within the last few months. They were dead on, the 2 mile TT predicted the exact pace and time I ran the 5k in. Thought that was pretty crazy. Also if I do the half-marathon at the predicted pace I would have a 20+ minute PR since I haven't done one in awhile. |
