Barloworld Team Thread (Page 3)

No need for that kindof hardware!! I got 19.6 miles in today. 15% of goal  at 14% through the tour. Not so bad.

Race day tomorrow. Think fast thoughts for me!!

Sending fast thoughts your way!

Be sure to let us know when you've posted your RR  

Indeed, Miss Leigh! Good luck!!! And thank you for the wonderful comment on mine

Hellloooo,

anybody home? 

Well, since we've had intros from our team members, I thought it might be a good way to pad my post count, bump our thread's post count fun to learn more about the team Barloworld - especially for noobs like me

so, here it goes - I'll post bios and pics (did I mention I love pics?) - don't worry I won't post them all in one night............at least I'm not planning on it - lol

Feel free to jump in with commentary

First off, the team line up

how did it go? 

I went to ride my bicycle, I went to ride my bike....yep, I really did ride tonight

details?

Miss Bunny, 40 min is 40 min! You are a rockstar for even doing it. It takes tremendous courage and cheer to do something for the first time as an adult--whether swim or bike--super kudos.

Congrats, Leigh!

Thanks, Bethie! I love the Barloboys. They are so hot.

FYI so it's someplace public--I'm still slogging away on dialup here--must revise goals to 15 stages of 15 minutes each. Might be laughable, but with spending so much time with the fambly here, want to keep goals light.

It's not about "light", it's about goals you can achieve given current circumstances. No worries!!

Yay Miss BunnyB!! You'll get it. Don't look at your feet or the handlebars or the front wheel, look out ahead 6-10 feet - look where you want to go, up ahead. That will help with the wobblies.

And speaking of hot boys, there's some new pics in the Men of BT thread. Triathletes just rawk. That is all.

Melissa - great, GREAT job on the bike!  You should be so proud even if you are frustrated. I've been reveling in my knowing how to swim - I know of three people off the top of my head who don't know how, won't even get in the water for second...and don't care to do anything about it either.  It takes guts to make changes..you GO!  I think its awesome.  You'll get there, you know more about it today than you did yesterday! 

  Hi everyone!  Great job on the race Leigh!  Kicking butt and taking names!

Hi Yanti!

I updated the spreadsheet!

lastcall2003 - 2008-07-08 1:41 PM I updated the spreadsheet!

 

 

Uh-oh. I'm askeered to look. I'm bored this evening. Will you write some HTML for me?

LOL!

I don't think I did too much damage - although I did notice that some of the formulas aren't calculating - I didn't want to touch too much though

We know you'll do it Melissa!  we can't wait to say - 'we knew her when'

thanks about the ear infection!  talk about a relief!

ugh on the spinning though - the class was full when I got there!

I ran instead 

ok, so.........for the first member of our team line up!

Mauricio Soler - link to his bio (be forwarned, it's from wikepedia - if there is a better source, let me know )

and, now for the pics!

I got 37.5 miles in this morning. I have a loooong way to go but after the race on Sunday I hope to get down to business. Great job everyone for getting out there!!

Yanti!! You spend as much time with your parents as you can. I'll cover your T.I.T.S. for you. 

(Was that my outside voice?)
