Howdy everyone!  I'm going to do my best to hit my goals this month!  I set them a bit low on purpose, knowing that my life will be crazy for a bit.  I just got a job offer, and will start on June 9.  Having been unemployed for the last 8 months, this will be an adjustment in itself.  Then there's the whole commute time, new work schedule, etc.

That said, I'm excited to get started!

carlacrews - 2008-05-30 1:11 PM Hi all. I just figured out how to post on this thread. You actually have to be logged in...go figure. I worked a ton of hours in May, so training was put on the back burner. I'm done with that. I'm starting out June with a triathlon...on Sunday (it'll be my 2nd). Hopefully that will get the ball rolling for me and keep me motivated. My ultimate goals are weightloss, so by completeing the distances for this challenge, I'm hoping to acheive my ultimate goal. And guess what, there are only 2 folks signed up in the Athena category on Sunday...I'm totally going to win 2nd place GO AVATAR AVENGERS!!! The Cheesecakes are going down!!! ...and I don't mean to our hips ladies!

I'm fine with the Cheesecakes going down. (Probably because I'm not on their team. )

why are you picking on the cheesecakes? must be because you are askeered!

LOL

' Nah. You're pretty close to being a bunch of CREAMPUFFS.

better a cream puff than a twinkie :P 

welcome me!

Mom of two in Sunny NoCalifornia.  Started the month with my first OWS practice with a bike ride to/from to make a nice sandwich of a workout.  

OWS.... erh.  I think I'll try another practice or two before the tri!  I wiggled down the "lane" and then got all hivey upon exit.  I think I've decided I don't want my wetsuit to swim in -- it's a shorty surf suit.  The constriction outweighs the buoyancy. As for the hives - dunno the cause!

OK everyone...time to rock and roll!  Stay on track, don't get behind, and yell for help when you need it.  We are so going to win this challenge...

If I yell for help, will you work out for me? (That would be SO cool. Especially since I'm on a different team. LOL)

nice try Dee! 

Well, my wetsuit has been hanging in the closet for 4 years (just about to the month!).  I've spent the intervening years pregnant or nursing my two kiddos.  Happily the wetsuit still fits.  It was last worn in Baja, Sea of Cortez, but I had no issues there and rinsed it well upon return.

The swim... in the "fresh water" Lake Almaden which supposedly sometimes has bacterial level issues due to duck and goose fecal matter.  Lovely, yes?   Since I was with my hubby, he gave up his T and I took off my top and wore his shirt home rather than keeping whatever irritant against my skin.  I showered immediately at home.  *shrug*  I dunno what caused it.  Hubby had no hives, but he didn't wear his wetsuit after I said the temps didn't really require it.  He also doesn't wear a tri-top so didn't stand around with a wet top stuck to his skin.  I did have some irritation below the waistline, but mostly it was my torso so maybe something in my top but it was freshly rinsed in same old detergent. 

We might try for another OWS one night this week since the lake is bikeable and supposedly is now open afternoon/evenings.  I'd like more OWS practice, though no more hives.  Tri is at Shadowcliffs in Pleasanton June 21. 

Erin - Since I missed meeting you at "shortest Tri Ever" in Eville, how about we find each other next weekend at MuddyBuddy?!  I'm in the last wave as a age 72 Female team.

-Cynthia 

So how was everyone's first day? I got in a nice, long swim, so I'm 13% done with that one! Woo hoo!

Good luck Avengers!

It's the second day of the challenge for me(I'm so advanced!!) and I have os far done my run session this am(at 10%) and will get a ride on the trainer after my son goes to be this evening.

I tried my wetsuit on today after 4.5 yrs hang in the closet..and mine DOES NOT FIT. So I have an extra challenge the next few months cos I'm not buying another one. Now I'm really motivated to stick to my goals.

Go Avengers.

Hey!  I did something today!   

I rode my bike 22.5 miles.  I feel like it's a good start to the month.  

How was everyone else's weekend? 

I read that as "an age 72 female," without the team part, and couldn't quite resolve that with the post above it where you say you've spent the last 4 years pregnant or nursing.

We have the same irritant problem here at our local lakes.  Fortunately, the swim lagoon I love so much is chlorine-shocked a few times throughout the season.
