SWBKRUN Mentor Group-"Off Season?" What is that?!! (Page 286)

SSMinnow - 2009-10-05 6:50 PM Ok, did anyone notice that Trevor blessed us with his presence, gave us his sob story about sore legs, but didn't commit to anything? Boo Hoo... I am beginning to think he is wearing a skirt!

Count me out for  the swim challenge....it is the one area where all technique all the time is the name of the game for me through December. If we were doing straight total yards, I could see sinking you guys, but speed ain't where it is at for me, now or probably ever .

What???  SSMinnow not in for a challenge....  {{shakes head}}  what is this site coming to?

Our girls in our group are faster than most of the guys, so they are allowed to talk trash!!!!

You are sooo right - they certainly collect more hardware that's for sure!

Who cares? - Says the man with winning tag line still in his signature

December will be fine - How about anytime between the first and the last of the month?

Steve, sorry if I came accross being mad at Doug.  By all means I think he is fabulous for offering to run and I love him for it.  It is my pride and ego being crushed if he has to "bail me out" that's all.   I mean, in the world of triathlons what says I Love You more than offering to run your first marathon with 5 weeks training right after a 112 mile bike ride?!  Men are not the enemy - it is my WOMAN POWER PRIDE!!

I have a suggestion for the virtual challenge.  How about we do a time difference challenge.  We repeat the distances we raced in the first one but determine the difference in times (hopefully improvements) and the team with the greatest improvements, wins.  Help me out with ideas of how to incorporate first time racers - I am drawing a blank but want to involve everyone?

Suzy,  I do lots of core work and upper body.  I have pretty large thighs already so I work more on flexibility for my lower body but love the Roman Chair and dumbbell work for shoulders,  back, triceps and biceps.  Still working on completing the six pack.  If you are worried about too much bulking up then I would focus on core and lat work -that will help with the swimming.

Matt so sorry to hear about your loss.

I'm definintely up for a virtual and the swim and maybe a separte run and bike too. It will give me a good winter goal. And keep me even more motivated, I am going to put my name in for the KONA draw. If I was ever to get picked I think I might pass out.  That would mean an HIM and a IM in the same year. I certainly don't know how I would train but I would do it somehow. OK back to work Some of us have real jobs.

Yep...I be in too!
