Nice to be here with you all. Go Arties! What has everyone set as their goals? Mine are: Bike 15 hours (at least 50% time at higher cadence) Run 10 hours (run 10% faster by end of month) Strength 1x-2x a week Plus Swim 5 hours lots of HM training here..I guess running will be big!

Wow lots of people training for halfs! Good luck to you as well

Morning team! Everyone is sooo quiet, I hope you are training....or having fun on this weekend. Survived the fun park yesterday, I was running thin on humor by the time I got home though. My body is way tired. I think part of it is from Thurs workout, but alot from yesterday. I have a run this morning, and normally I get excited to run. I will be lucky if I crawl.

Good afternoon everyone. Just got back from a 1 hour and 40 min ride. Started raining just as I got home. For the rest of the weekend I've got an hour run planned for tomorrow and then I've also got Monday off so I may try and fit in another long ride if my legs feel up to it.

Long weekend here and i started with an hour run and 20 mins swimming this morning , that gets me on the scoreboard

for the challenge

Tomorrow is Malibu race rehearsal , the actual race is next sunday , so easy OWS followed by a hardish bike and brick run

Probably will run it long well past the turnaround (5+ miles ) to make the race (4 miles) next week feel quicker .

Also plan is to run negative splits in training .

Monday 's plan will be to improvise .

Morning team...did a short run this morning. Lungs felt a tad clogged, and major smoke in the air. Stinky pigs, I think someone was burning their garbage...at 5am! Could have been a house fire I spose. It made the run feel hard.
