June Bugs (Page 3)

Morning everybody.  Got my first run for the month done.  My goal is 50 miles.  Had lots of excitement over the weekend with a bear cruising about town....not too uncommon in Jersey, but still gets everyone worked up.  Glad I didn't see him this morning.

Morning.
Yes you do have to log your miles/minutes into both.

Morning team. I am Robin. I am into the second year of tri. I came from, maybe not the couch, but at least the lounger last year. I would be the east coast Slow Fat Old Triathlete. I will be 49 :0 !!! on 6-23. I am shooting for 50 miles this month.

Oh ya, and I REALLY do look JUST like my avatar.. REALLY

that could have mad the run REALLY fast!

Hi all. I'm Dana from Florida and glad to be part of the group. This morning I didn't want to run and thought about biking instead but then I realized it was June 1st and the start of the challenge.........just the kick I needed to get out and run!

Looking forward to a fun month!

My son (9yrs) is affected by red 40 and yellow 5. It makes him "jittery" and often times he will throw up after having something with dye in it, which now days is almost anything processed. His doctor says we are "cuckoo" and that dyes cannot affect people like that but we know differently bc if he stays away from it he is totally fine. You can google "yellow 5" and you will enter a whole different world of people who believe that dye definitely affects them. I would experiment with different drinks to see what is best for you.

I, personally, do not like powerade and water down my gatorade with water (half water, half gatorade). I only drink it on really hot days before or after a run. I also take a bottle on the bike along with two water bottles b/c I prefer water.

Nice avatar!

What's our team name and who is our captain?

Jen (Artemis) is our captain
As far as I know we have no name yet but there were some ideas posted

You could try Gu20 or Nuun.  I've used both and found that I like them more than Gatorade.  Gatorade is too sweet and that sometimes makes my stomach hurt.

So far for names we've had:

June Bugs
Little Deuce Coupe
Long Train Running
Majority Rule (Dee's suggestion)

We just have to decide which one we want (maybe that makes us Team Indecisive?)

Where on the east coast are you? I'm in Maryland (hence the MD part of my username)

At my Tour de Cure ride last year they had Nuun at all the rest stop; I didn't like it and don't think I heard a single good thing said about it. However, Kristen/enders_shadow swears by it.

I'm warning to the idea of "June Bugs" with the thought that buggy=crazy and we've all got to be a little crazy to do triathlon

So, for the first day of the running challenge...I swam but I'll get my first run tomorrow.

I am in the western part of North Carolina. In the mountains.

June bugs work for me, too.

June Bug is warming to me too.  Although I was initially against it - it does kinda sound cute...

And sorry if I let anyone down - but today is supposed to be a rest day.  I'll be back on the "saddle"..or rather in the sneakers tomorrow

I like JuneBugs.

And it is true...I swear by Nuun. I loves me some Nuun. It is the perfect hangover remedy. Oh, and I use it for training too.

Today I will start the month right by going for a wee run while my daughter is at piano lessons.

Yup.

I'll pull the numbers from the Spreadsheet on Sundays, to give everyone an update of where the teams stand in the challenge.

I bet you're an AWESOME swimmer.
