Pro  4343    Olney, MD |  Subject: RE: Women's May Challenge ThreadKOM - 2010-05-02 11:50 AM Morning Ladies!! I will figure out goals today and get them up. I just returned from a vacation and brought a little GI issue home with me. I will swim today but am holding off on R/B until I am completely better. Did you get hit by Montezuma's revenge? |

Master 1734  On a lake in the Adirondacks in NY | Subject: RE: Women's May Challenge Thread rnihill - 2010-05-01 8:44 PM serendipity - 2010-05-01 5:02 PM Hi Ladies! I was cruising right along with my April goals and got oh-so-close before it snowed this week. 80 degrees today so I think it's done now. May is going to be a good training month for me. I've got my goals in the spreadsheet. I'm hoping the lake warms up before the end of the month so I can get my swims done! Debbie, I'm not too far from you. Wasn't it a nice change? Today was a GREAT day! We had a fabulous weekend. I'm hoping it rains a bit overnight because now it is very sticky. Nice to "meet" you. Heading north for any tris this year? |

Master 1734 On a lake in the Adirondacks in NY | Subject: RE: Women's May Challenge Thread Biked yesterday, ran today. Should have put "shovel two pickup trucks full of compost into the vegetable garden" on my goals. I'd be at 100% for that.  Wow, I'm tired. Might be asleep before the kids. (Again.) |

Pro 4343 Olney, MD | Subject: RE: Women's May Challenge Thread I'm waiting on the official results from today's Aquabike race. I forgot to start my watch so I have no idea what my swim or T1 time was. No panic at all on the swim, so that was good. T1 felt slow. I got my butt kicked on a totally flat bike route; wasn't expecting that. The route went through the pine forests of southern NJ, and all the pines picked this weekend to pollenate; the air was so thick with the stuff that we all ended the ride yellow. It was on your lips every time you licked them and it was wreaking havoc with my contact lenses; it's hard to bike your hardest when your eyes are tearing and feel like they are filled with grit. They posted total-time results at the race and I was 5/5 for Aquabike women :( |

I always do, and I wonder if it is because I have a verizon email address or that I'm a mac user. Who knows. I have my goals, and I'll post them ASAP. Meanwhile, I had a really crappy half-marathon today. It was unexpectedly hot (I'm not yet used to Summer-like temps) and I am burned to a crisp. My worst ever time, but I finished. |

Check out some of the Finger Lakes area events. Cayuga Lake has a sprint and oly on early August that I LOVE doing. Keuka and Finger Lakes tri sell out early too.

Oh my, I can't even tell you how much I LOVE the Cayuga Lake race! That was the first tri I ever did (sprint) and we go back every year. The only year I missed was the year I was pg with my younger daughter. This year I'll be back looking for redemption on the Intermediate course - the run kicked my butt last year. My in-laws live about 15 minutes from the park and it kicks off our vacation each year. I can't wait! I'm hoping for less rain this year though... |

| Master 2042 Albany, NY | Subject: RE: Women's May Challenge Thread So, I signed up for another race last night... I've been trying space out my entry fees so my dear hubby doesn't have a fit. The race I signed up for is a sprint that is about 15 minutes away from my house. I first did this one 2 years ago and really died on the run. Last year, I was much better prepared for the race... and it POURED. The swim went ok even in the fog/rain. I was kicking butt on the bike (at least for me). I was actually passing people which doesn't happen often since the swim is where I have any advantage. And then about 1/2 way through the bike course, after the monster hill, I got a flat. And I had taken my spare tube out of my bag the weekend before and forgot to put it back in. I DNF'd since after about 2 minutes in the pouring cold rain, I didn't even want to run any more. So, this morning I am getting psyched to kick some Crystal Lake butt this August! |

Despite all the bugs that that thought it was funny to fly into my eyes and forehead, it felt great to be outside. I love this weather! I have found the love with my bike this spring...now I just need the wind to go away! |
