Agritubel Team Thread (Page 3)

I'm bumping us.

How is everyone's riding going?  It is pretty hot and smokey around here.  Makes my nose burn.  Have a great day!

You've all been working hard. Why not take the day off and have a delicious burrito?

No Stage today!  stormy and rainy and I am tired, but I wish everyone else well.

I second the nomination for Owl to be our captain.

All in favor?

I hope everyone is having a great day. No riding for me, I had to focus on my much-neglected running instead and have a session with a new swim coach tonight. I'll get stage three in by Friday at the latest and will have stage 4 on Saturday. Happy riding everyone!

Also, I agree with the nomination for owl as team captain. 

OMG, i just did my stage 2, 50 miler, and i haven't eaten yet since the ride. ( wanted to get a shower and log) Anyway, i saw this and i almost died b/c it looks so good right now. If only our burrito/mexican place down the street didn't close... sigh.

Aaaw I hope your son starts to feel much better soon!

Stage 3 completed- 30 miles. 110 down and 160 to go.  Stage 4 will be at the Disco Triathlon (23 miles) on Sunday.

ontheRun- sorry to hear about your son! Hope you don't get sick!

That is good enough for me.

Take control of this motley crew Owl! 

Okie dokie!  I'll sink my talons into the group!

Any takers for co-captain?  I do plan on being out of town and away from an internet connection during my race on the 20th.

OK awesome teammates!  Here is the plan.  The first log entry on our forum is from Kat and she listed the dates that she needs info from us.  Make sure you list your progress toward your ultimate goal for each of those time periods.  I will update the spreadsheet for us.

A few of us have time goals and the rest of you have milage goals.  We should be at 1/3 of our respective goals by the end of Monday the 14th.  (Don't worry about the weird day of the week.  Just go with it.)  I don't want to see any slackers that have to catch up!   That's bad training, anyway.

Cheers everyone!  Happy cycling!

Oh man.  I hope he is going to be ok.    Just let us know if you need to re-evaluate your goal.  Sick kid takes priority!

I would but I'm racing on the 20th too with no internet access.

I did my second real stage this morning (yesterday doesn't count).  19 miles and 65 minutes.  After a nice long ride this Sunday I'll be looking good for my goals.

Boy our team is looking good, logging a lot of miles and minutes.   I think we will come in pretty good on Monday.  

Thank you Captain Owl, you are doing a great job.  

If LM want Co-captain, that sounds good to me! 

let's keep those wheels a spinning.

So we have three racing on the 20th.  Any others?  What are our goals?

Me:  1/3 swim - 9 bike - 3.1 run  Goal:  1:10 and top half of age group M 30-34.

It's my first oly and only second tri so it's really hard to set a goal, but I feel like I need to have something in mind, so here goes:

Race - 1500K swim, 40K bike, 10K run; Goal - 3:30:00 or less (hopefully less)

I believe there are around 3,000 participants so it's impossible to set a ranking goal. I'll just be happy to finish strong and not have my bike breakdown on me. Now that I'm comfortable swimming, that's my new worst nightmare! 

Hmm.  Goal for my race.  Well, it's a sprint so I'm pretty much going to go balls to the wall.  Like a friend of mine said today, "you only have to suffer for an hour and a half.  That is well within your capability."

Swim=3/4 mile (downstream in a river) / Bike=12.5 miles / Run=5K / event at 4000 feet elevation (ugh)

Last year I came in 14 of 50 in my age group with 1:35.  Number one finished in 1:20.  I'm going for sub 1:30 and within the top 10 of my age group.

better than hopefully more!
