The Peep Giants: Extra Big, Extra Stuffed (Page 3)

Hi team - week 1 challenge results including each teams gossip and percentages are here: http://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid... a great second week!

Nice Job, Heidi!

I had a slow start, but I've started my Oly training now so I'll be getting in lots of biking. Took my first outside ride of the season yesterday and it was awesome! I ordered some clipless pedals, so I'll be learning how to use them once they come in. I'm a little afraid of them, so if anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it. Once I get comfortable with the clipless pedals my DH has encouraged me to get a tri bike (I'm riding a hybrid now). Very exciting!

Well the month's half over.  How is everyone doing?  I just hit 8 hours out of my goal of 15, so I think I'll be good.   Hope the weather hold out  We've got a little snow this weekend, but next weeks should be in the 50s again. 

 Good luck, team. 

Hi - just a quick reminder that I am on a work conference from tomorrow, for 3 days... I will update the weekly results for the challenge when I return.. so just make sure week 2 is up to date on your team spreadsheet and I will grab it on my return!!!

Woo Hoo! We're over 50% of the way there!  Keep on keeping on.  I'm at 11 hours, 25 minutes of my 15 hour challenge.

 Take care!  And keep on keeping on!

Nice job! Congratulations!

Hi Team - just a quick reminder, we are due for a challenge update so I will get working on that.

In some parts of the world Monday was a public holiday you you have until Tuesday PM to get your results up to date before I post an update!

Happy Cycling

Hi everyone! Nice biking!

I got my new tri bike and clipless pedals and have done a few rides outside with it now (theres a pic in my album if you want to see it). I love it! Learning the aerobars is going smoothly and even riding it very slow and casual it is almost as fast as my hybrid was when I was really pushing it. The clipless pedals. . . well most of the time I can unclip just fine, but twice for no apparent reason I came to a stop and tumbled over. More embarassing than anything though since I was stopped, just a few bruises. I think maybe I waited to long to unclip on these two occasions and just didn't have time, not sure. Anyway, I have ridden 9 out of 12 hours towards my goal and will be over by the end of the week Happy riding!

Hey - here is a shor and sweet update for the challenge.... 1 week to go!

Met my goal today with an incredibly sucky cold and windy ride.  Hope everyone is finishing up this weekend. 

Hey - just giving everyone a reminder the last day for the challenge is midnight Monday....

So finish off strong and I will pick up each teams final results from the spreadsheet Tuesday PM so... make sure all your team is up to date...

And dont forget there is a personal and a team penalty so if you arent already finished GO HARD!!!!

See you for the final results!!!

I'm at 12.5 of my 12 hour goal after a very boring 1 hour trainer ride. Seems Winter is not quite done with us yet.

Congratulations to everyone who has made their goal, and get out (or in for some of us) there and bike to those who haven't !

Happy biking!
