Seriously Spooky Cats (Page 3)

Coach Troy is definatley something...

mindji - 2008-03-04 11:24 AM Hmmm.....I'm thinking that I would enjoy working out with Coach Troy! I do see what you mean Cats! I'll have to do a little dvd research! Later Peggy

hehe just be warned... he is very full on! You might want to start easy with him... you can get some DVDs with 3 x 30 minute workouts which might be a good way to start!

I have Hillacious and AeroBase Builder 5 that I have done. Both are good workouts though the aero base builder is LONG (2 hrs) if you do the whole thing.  Both are broken into shorter segments so you could do the warm up and a couple of segments then cool down. 

Picked up one that is designed fo time trialists and raithletes yesterday when I put my wheels in for a tune up but someone on the last challenge team has used it and it came referred by his LBS.

My daughter thinks he's irritating--he can be as he counts down the time left BUT there are good explantions throughout the workout of what you should be focusing on and the purpose of the segment.

Glad you found us, Lisa.  Balancing all the sports is definitely a challenge in itself--especially when building for a half mary.  Be careful not to overdo it coming back, relapse would really stink (that's what folks keep telling me too)

Hi team - allez mama has just said she would like to get involved with the challenge.

I've told her to come say hello to the cats!

Tim,

You can add as you go or just put in each weeks total along the way as long as it's there for the challenge update each week.

Nate - I hear ya on the travelling and training thing... its really hard.

If Im really busy with work the ONLY way I get a workout in is in the mornings because it can be so hard to predict when your day will finish (especially if you are on the road) that its easier to fit it in in the mornings... (having said  that im NOT a morning person!)

Things that help with travelling and training:

- Running is always the easiet - never leave home without your running shoes and gear

- If you have a choice where you stay, chose places with a gym or lap pool

- If the above is not an option look into local gyms or pools before you travel (or even ask BT to help you out!)

- Im not sure abut in the US but some gym chains here allow you to use your membership at any of their facilities nationwide (sometimes a certain number of times a year, sometimes unlimited). This may be an option for you if you already have a gym membership!

Best of luck with your training!

Cat

So it looks like no one really has a burning desire to captain this squad.  Hmm, I hope it means you'd rather be training than checking spread sheets   Okay...we know the google link is on PAGE 2 of our thread so use the google sheet and I'll be the one to verify things since I'm always in peoples logs  (hmm, does that make me nosy?)

Cheerleader and Fact Checker.  I'd say that makes you a multi-tasker not nosy!

NEWS FLASH....IT IS OUR FEARLESS LEADERS BIRTHDAY...CAT IS A WHOPPING ___? years old today! everyone make sure to wish Cat a good day! she is soo deserving! Thanks CAT!

Now join in and sing along with of all things this cat playing a violin: hehe

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

From all your peeps in BT land!

Ummm - Sorry for the confusion but my birthday isnt for a month! There has been a rumour started today, somewhere, which was really cool and I got lots of lovely inspires but... ummmm... I think 2 birthdays in one year might be a bit much...

One more month until my birthday!!!! (so my mother says!) 

THIS TEAM IS BEING VERY QUIET!!! 

 I hope it means you're training well!

Remember to log it ALL because this weekend I need to look over the spread sheet in comparison to your logs.  (meaning any spin class, trainer ride, hot date with Coach Troy, road ride, hotel stationary bike...)

No one wants to be a marshmallow for the month of April

On page 2 of this thread there is a link to a spreadsheet where you'll enter your weekly times. Welcome to the team!
