Master  2146    East Side of the Bay |  Subject: RE: QUEEN ZIP & KathyG - CLOSEDHi to everyone. YOu are all doing great on your training. I did not do the ironman challenge since I swim only for time right now and only bike twice a week. Once I am keeping track of my swim distance and when I can ride outside on Sundays I would love to try the challenge though. With the way the weather has been that should most likely be in April. A weekly challenge as proposed by KAthy G would be great for Feb. Maybe we could post our weekly goals on the thread on Sunday night and run the challenge Mon-Sun... Any thoughts? For those of you in southern New England I noticed a post on the RI thread that Providence Bicycle in Providence is having a tri night on wed Feb 4 it sounds interesting. The folks from RHode Runner will be there too. Have a great day! |

Master 1591  San Diego, CA | Subject: RE: QUEEN ZIP & KathyG - CLOSED Thanks for the advice everyone. My back is feeling much better after a little yoga and a swim this morning. I'm planning a trip to the gym specifically for the hot tub after my ride tomorrow and I think that might just do the trick. |

That is truly awesome. I am very impressed. I will have to bail on the Ironman thing for this month because I am just not getting the bike in. I have looked at my schedule for February and see a whole lot more bike time. I like the idea of weekly goals, mentioned above. Looking again at those numbers - it is staggering. |

Royal(PITA) 14270 West Chester, Ohio | Subject: RE: QUEEN ZIP & KathyG - CLOSED Weekly challenges to stick to our training plans would be good. FOr those battling injury a plan including how you are working on that weakness (ie PT/chiro) would be good too. My hip fleors are acting up again so my running will be shorter for a while. My plan is shorter runs with more PT until they stop balking at long runs. |

It is amazing to see all this develop and take place. Women came to your meeting, wanted to do a tri and you helped all of them train and now it is their first triathlon. You must feel a bit like a proud Mom seeing them do something new and big. I wish we could all be there with cowbells cheering you all on. You never know what a spark of motivation you may have given a women or women that will carry them beyond this first tri to change their life and try new things, grow and become a better fit person. Great job and have fun out there too Cat! |

Expert 1773 San Gabriel Valley, California | Subject: RE: QUEEN ZIP & KathyG - CLOSED I went to WW today and was down 0.4 pounds. Better than a poke in the eye, but certainly not very much. And I know perfectly well that it was because I did essentially no running last week. I am up for weekly goals so that I can get myself some weekly results in running and biking. Apparently yoga and Crossfit and swimming aren't enough for serious weight loss. |

Champion 26509 Sydney | Subject: RE: QUEEN ZIP & KathyG - CLOSED Thanks everyone... I still cant quite believe that somehow I have pulled this off... its a BIG race for me too... my first sprint in 3 years so thats pretty daunting all on its own... But Im hoping having others there in support etc will actually lift me, especially as Im prone to negative self talk in my head during the run! Its all coming together I just cant quite believe it... and my 'Mother Hen' tendancies are definatley coming out (you were right there Kathy!)

Champion 26509 Sydney | Subject: RE: QUEEN ZIP & KathyG - CLOSED I should add that Judi was the one who suggested I join a mentor group this year to help support me through my triathlon 'come back' and everything I have going on with the work crew... Im so glad she did to! Its been incredible so far to have this mentor group to offer such support and advice and everything all the way through the last month! |

Master 2621 Almaden Valley, San Jose, California | Subject: RE: QUEEN ZIP & KathyG - CLOSED I got a wet suit! OMG, is that baby tight. Kind of like wearing a full body corset. Feel a bit like a seal, but with pink swirls. Although I guess killer whale is more appropriate, since it says ORCA on the chest!! Now I just need to find a place to try it out - rumor has it that I shouldn't in the pool. NONE of our local lakes are open, and they look gross anyway. This drought/weather has not been kind! I think I finally understand my hubby's fascination with Sports Basement - I could easily spend as much money there as I do at Macy's! Linda |
