PT Freaks notes – Chapter 2

We continue to fly through the posts, in fact one interested observer from the POG’s

The competition for TOPPAGE promises to be fierce in this challenge, as evidenced in the exchange between Kristin and Philthy

K:  Missed yet again!
P: SH1T!  CURSE YOU LAZY!!
K: Bwahahahahahahahahaha! Take that!

We had a nice little  sing along with Phil taking the lead and posting song snippets, it was sort of an odd mix of karoke and Name this Tune!

And we’re waiting on a call from Master Travis – does keeping up with Phil in posting count as a PT session? – LOL!

---

Mel (Chartierm22) – spent Saturday night eating bbq pizza and watching Sponge Bob (I’m intentionally leaving out the part about the huge plate of broccoli cuz pizza and broccoli is just wrong! )

Chris (Chrisrunzs26)- is no longer a creepy clown (thank goodness!!) and has gotten off to a great start in the challenge with a run and a bike on the books!

Stacie (Dimplespoo)- we now know the secret behind her call name and that, the shortened version, Poo is reserved for her DH

Magda (Eurydice79) - *hearts* Belgian beer, had a great weekend with lots of activity, she even saw Aiada!

Phil (1stTimeTri)- continues to enjoy his we, ekend with da boyz, they thoroughly enjoyed watching the 3^rd Indy movie.  He announced this event on the agenda in an attempt to cover up missed TOPPAGE – hehe!  He found a new avatar, which is quite mesmerizing……………………wait – ok, I’m back – lol!

Jenn (Jenni4) – must be out having lots of fun :-))

Cat (kaqphin) – is headed out to lunch with some gals that are interested in triathlon – how cool is that?!

Beth (lastcall2003)- ordered boring pizza on Saturday night, but the good news is she didn’t have to cook or clean up!  She watched Oh Brother Where Art Thou – remember ‘Do NOT Seek the Treasure’ – LOLOL!

Kristin (LazyMarathoner) – had a dry, boring Saturday night on the eve of her Mary (hmmmm, wonder what that says about the rest of us that were posting???? lol!  Kristin and Rudy appear to be kindred spirits

(fwiw, I’m in that club too ).  Kristen’s morning got off to a rough start with a coughing fit and a headache, but she persevered and rocked at the Mary  - set a PR by almost an hour and ran her first sub-4, finishing in 3:58:14.

Kendra (Pipscweek) – Was a wee bit hungover from the Halloween festivites. Sounds like ski conditioning kicked her a$$ though

Rudy (Rudedog55) – got some Saturday T.I.T.S., had wine with dinner and there was something about punctuation???? .  He is not worried about a headache after the wine because he

. 

Andy (RevBigDog)- oh Andy, where are you?  He got in some very nice workouts and has a great start to the challenge!

Ted (TeddieMao)- went to the Notre Dame game this weekend – did he run or paint this weekend?

Travis (tlnewman)-  showed his wisdom with one simple statement

Yanti (Triaya)- spent the weekend chillin’ and doing things that are good for the soul

David (Wraith28k)- hellooo!  Come visit us!

I don't know how you do it, little lady, but we can never praise ya enough!!

We're not worthy!!

Wifey has FINALLY completed her merger migration after 4 days, and I finally get to see her.

Hey, Kristin - We just cracked open a bottle of Prairie Fume (pron. foo may) wine from a local winery.  Subtle, semi-sweet white, and mellow.  Good schtuff.  I'll sip a few for ya to celebrate your sweet Mary run, and will raise a toast to my other fellow Freaks (remember, that is a compliment for this month).

Cheers!

Cheers!

ps, did you ever tell her about the Garmin

1stTimeTri - 2008-11-02 9:31 PM

Because I needed to keep myself in check for this challenge, I went out for a walk tonight, around 7:30 p.m., out in the dark, on the 2-lane, not-much-traveled Hwy here.  Got in my 30 min. with a 2 miler "power" walk.  Feel better now.

Chalk me up a point!

1stTimeTri - 2008-11-02 9:33 PM

Oooooo, you have a dang good memory, dontcha?

Not really, but she saw the ForeRunner and caught the credit card statement.

Short story, I'm still here.  Fully intact.  I came out unscathed.  WHEW!

Sounds like the team is on a good start for points then.

it's looking that way!

so, are you recovered? and is Laura back?

1stTimeTri - 2008-11-02 9:41 PM

Wow.  That's a magical spreadsheet.  I mention that I get a point here and the spreadsheet fills itself in before I even sign into it!  Talk about automation.   (now realize I'm a computer networking guy).

Just an F.Y.I. - there were about 3 typos and some extraneous characters at the end of many of the teammates, so I cleaned those up.  I'm also retentive, self-claimed.

lastcall2003 - 2008-11-02 8:45 PM

heh! what can I say, it's a magical world

and we wouldn't want extraneous characters - LOL

what kind of extraneous characters?

tlnewman30 - 2008-11-02 9:47 PM Looks like the spreadsheet is a little off, since it shows our total team completion for the month at 60%.  I think the equation is devided by 20 for the whole team.  But I don't know how to fix the spreadsheets.

1stTimeTri - 2008-11-02 9:49 PM

At the end of some of the names there were some spaces and a carriage return character.  I deleted them and it's good to go.

lastcall2003 - 2008-11-02 8:49 PM

hehe! oops!

I'll fix it

lastcall2003 - 2008-11-02 8:49 PM

cool beans, I was lazy and copied the names from the team annoucement post!
