March Challenge - Team SEC/South (Page 3)

Thanks ... but showing my true Ole Miss colors/Excel fat-fingers by faulted by a tiny little formula variable!

Rode 17 miles today ... 7 of which were hill repeats. Legs (quads) are smoking!

runnergirl29 - 2006-03-15 8:17 AM Have I mentioned that Im humping it this week?  I decided to commute home from work yesterday, and then needed to get in more time and hopped on the trainer.  I commuted to work again this morning and woke up early to get in more miles   I will meet my goal darn it!!

Woo hoo!  Commutting home is something after a day in the office ... commutting to work is awesome.

Once I saw your first post on 'zero tolerance for slackers', I knew that you would finish your goal - even if you had to carry your bike on your shoulders for ~6 miles in your socking feet!

Incidently, I corrected the formula in the SEC spreadsheet ... you have officially bumped us up over the 40% threshold - and where as a team we were just behind the pace mark for week 2, we are now just in front of it!

Go TEAM South (+ our Hawaiian brothers)!

That's what I'm talking about!  We're hard core!

Oh no- I hope your ankle gets better.  It's better to be safe and follow the doc's orders.  Don't worry- I won't hold it against you if you have to pull out of the challenge.  How did you re-injure it?

Seb:

Bummer about the injury ... do what the doctor ordered and do not push it.  We have a looong season in front of us and you need to heal well for it.

Under no circumstances should you feel like you let anyone down.  Shoot, you took one for the team by being injured during training.

If after a day or so it appears that the 10 hours is not going to be a realistic goal, then you have to stay a part of the team albeit on injured reserve and be the team's designated beer drinker ...

There's been a flu bug going around ... half of Atlanta is down with it (and infecting the other half!).  Weather is also turning - colder and rainy today.

Thank goodness the weather held off so I could do my long ride of the week.  Week totals = 70.54

The first couple miles after cycling were @#$% tougher than I thought they would be.  Given that the season is right around the corner, it might be a good idea to add a mile or two after each long ride as the season to get your leg (re)used to the transition from the bike to the run ...

... and you had some quality miles in terms of excellent race results from this weekend's sprint!
