Team Lively Lava (Page 28)

Hi Beth!  How are ya? 

Hi Tammy!

doing ok trying to recover from the weekend - it was a bit long and trying

good news is I got an earlier flight and was in town by 8 rather than 11 -

how are you? 

I am good, hoping my legs recover soon from yesterday's race, I amazed at how much they can hurt after racing!

Bummer of a weekend for you, I can't believe you had someone staying with you...without even being asked!  It must have been hard for you and K to really catch up with someone else around. 

i know - it was a bummer!

and you are right about the legs!  I totally need to get caught up on RR's 

Nah, the rules don't outline that it has to be part of your normal routine.  Hope not or I would have to decrease my bike time as I don't normally spin, and I did twice this month. 

no kidding!

plus, i'd have to say - it was some good walking! at any rate, i'll come in over 100% on the run and at a minimum 100% on the swim and bike

who'd have thunk i'd be over 100% in the run????

well...............we would be so proud!

That would be awesome!  Swimming is a good recovery exercise from those long runs you do.

This is the first challenge I've participated in where we each have more than one activity. It is my understanding that your % completion for each activity will be averaged and then those will be averaged with each team member to arrive at the team % completion. So, if you do 110% swimming, 105% biking, and 90% running, your completion total is (110+105+90)/3=101.67

I was wondering this as well.  Also...I have been in challenges where if you did over 100% you could "give some" to a teammate to get them to 100%.  Wonder if this is going to be the case this time.  My goal is to be over the 100% mark on each event so if I can help a teammate that would be great....but then again...I have such GREAT gals to work with they probably won't need any help from the old man of the group...an old guy with great legs...but an old guy never the less.  

that is my understanding, too! so, get busy guys...get 110% for all! you can do it!!! we are counting on you to at least get the 100% that you set as your goal...but now time to push for the added distances! go lava!!!

I just updated my log and my time on the spreadsheet. i have now officially hit my goal for runnning for the month. Now to get caught up o n the bike goal (eek), and to finish up the swim. I think I can do it. I just have to find a couple parts for the trainer so I can get in some long rides in my living room.

oh, yeah--did I mention I bought a trainer? It has a few issues, as far as working with my bike, but hopefully it will be a quick fix. Either way, I'm going to go ahead and hit the stationary tonight at the gym. I figure I have an appointment with the massage therapist tomorrow, so if the stationary tries a repeat attack like the last few times I rode it, I'll be able to get myself fixed tomorrow.

gotta run, time to pick up the older kiddo from school.

Welcome back!!! hope you took lots of pictures...I used to live there...our daughter was born there! she is officially a little eskimo baby! loved where we lived in a high rise overlooking the cook inlet and earthquake park.  Glad you made it back safely!

can you say...lites out boys and girls!! dang!!!!!!

Thanks. I did get on the stationary, for about 50 minutes. Whew. Only 130 more to go. Anyone have any idea where I can get  parts for my indoor trainer? Is the manufacturere (minuora) the best place, or do bike shops carry some parts?

WOW!!! 

welcome back Tracy!!! 

Most Excellent Amy!  You will get it done - there is still plenty of time! 

great legs?  did someone say great legs???

ummmm, did I mention that it is the duty of the honorary male member of the team to post a pic of his legs? LOL

well, for that matter anyone who wants to post a pic of hot legs!!!

Tammy and Nicole, how are you feeling after your races?
