Girl Passing on Left (FULL) (Page 28)

lyssa-gator - 2009-01-11 1:33 PM ok, so i threw this idea out to julee a while back, and she keeps telling me to tell you guys and see what you think, but i seem to get on here and get all worked up about what you are all saying, then i forget. anyway, here was my idea, i think we should have a monthly award on here that our dearest most wonderful mentor GPOL will award- something like this, but it'll have to say the month on it. then you can post it in your blog for however long you want. anyway, the award will go to the triathlete that julee feels most deserving--maybe someone who finishes their first race? maybe someone who loses 5 pounds, maybe someone who overcomes their fear of open water, whatever it is--julee awards the GPOL trophy at the end of each month. what do you guys think?

sounds good to me!

The patagonia jacket is yours..pm me with your address. I am going to wait and send all the things I offered to you all at the end of next week after round two of what I have to offer. That way if you see something else I can place them together in the same box instead of shipping lots of boxes....Have a great weekend...and go Chargers, I mean Steelers, I mean Chargers... haha

I agree with Isabelle that it is a good idea, and rewards an individual for going the extra mile in various area ie: training, races, or overcoming obstacles...

Sounds good.  Can I nominate Julie to get it for January?  I don't think that she'll ever nominate herself...

ah shucks Nalani...I am honored...thanks girl!

how was the parental meeting last night? hoping that it went well...are both sets of parent from the island?

Most definitely - great idea.   And I love the second stretching picture - very cute!

I also vote for a monthly trophy!

One of my little dudes is sick.  I don't know how much I'll be able to get out of the house this week to train.  I guess I'll be hittin the bike trainer pretty  hard this week.

Oh my gosh!!! I totally know where you live AMY !!! YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO ME !!!

I will be sure to keep you informed on the latest as far as our  little tri. I would ADORE meeting you and doing this tri with my mentor board buddy !!!   I love that you are even considering it ! TEE HEE (oops, kinda giddy there wasn't I .....) smile

I know, I think the dq is rediculous  and too strict for first timers....... but we will be timed 15 minutes and then have to get out, normally in that time I can do 10 laps (or almost 10)...... I normally do better when I swim with friend or race for fun (i've never won)...... lol

The trick will be to keep my feet up, so starting tomorrow I'll wrok on that.......lol it's always something ! te ehee

Glad you like my rubber ducky counting system ! lol

Hey!

I would love to be in your group, I feel that you would be a perfect match for me and I feel that I too, could contribute to the group!

 This is my first mini triathalon, I will be competting in April and it consists of a 400 yd swim, 14 mile bike, and 3 mile run. I used to run cross country and track at Texas A&M University, but don't have too much biking/ swimming experience. Is there any words of advice you have for the beginning and first week/s training and what they should consist of?

Thanks,

Brooke Lynne

Glad to have you back....and hoping the kids are getting settled in at school....I will have more items next week...so make sure to check in...and I really am thinking that I want to do the San Diego Tri as my opener this year...you in???? come on legs...time to visit Chuck! whatcha say????

Hi Brooke Lynne,

My advice to you would to be get in the pool (join a masters swim team if possible) and start training on a bike, even if it is stationary....do you own a bicycle? and if so do you ride it all? and what kind of bike? love the picture of you with the guitar...will you play a little tune for us?

Morning!

I had a bad swim today. I just didn't have any energy. I was supposed to be doing sprint sets alternating with regular sets but it just wasn't happening. I nearly gave it up completely around the halfway mark but managed to finish off 90% of of my intended workout. Can I go back to bed?
