TriForrestTri & Blackbud's Group - FULL (Page 3)

I actually have the 305 and it's nice, but the weather here has been bad enough that I haven't used it yet. I'm doing a tem mile run race on Sunday so I'll use it then. Good luck with the accountant!

You boys can TRI to top our workouts.... but I don't see it happening.  There's far too much whining about work, and stress and broken teeth in your blogs to allow for much training time.  You are no match for women, much less women who work and have kids.  We are the queens of time management and midlife crisis determination.

The smack-down's on! 

Oh....and Hi Matt! How are the teeth?

Hey, I'm not the one that slept in till 6:15. The day is half over by that time! Get outta bed a swim damn-it!

Man....you boys are no fun!  Don't want to step up and issue a challenge?  Just remember....your age group winner is training today...are you???

WooHoo!!  Alex is fun!!!

Bring it!  You're going to have to start logging some serious training time in order to catch us chicas!!!

Yeah...you need to keep up, because if you miss a day on this thread, you miss....well, some. I think MarkMark needs to keep asking more questions.  That usually brings Ben out to talk.  Heehee!

Hell yeah!!! <pounds on desk> Get after it

Not to spoil the fun, but I think Ben is just sticking to the plan that he has set for himself. Speaking from experience, it's very easy to get overtrained with this little hobby and it's important to keep it in perspective. That being said........

I have two excuses for not getting into this little smack talk bit. First, I'm in a much needed recovery week and second, I'm running a tem mile race on Sunday. The run race is a test for my present fitness level, so I want to do well. As for next week, I WILL LOG MORE MILES THAN YOU!

Ohhhh I'm gettin' after it allright  I've got a feeling that what's left of this week is going to be fairly productive (Wife's out of town so I can train all I want) Plus, I've got a Duathlon on Saturday on what is according to their website "90% snowpacked"    In all honesty though, I'll be taking it easy on the snowpack.  Don't want to injure myself on a low priority race and I've got alot of work to do before my first race in May.

Speaking of races, when is everyone's 1st triathlon this season?

I think stopping by would be smart.  At least you would have a mental layout in your head.  I have not done an indoor Tri, but my gym is holding one in a couple months.  Theirs is time based.  You get 10 min in the pool, and someone counts how many laps you do in that time.  Then you get 15 min to transition up to the spin class room.  Again, I think you get a half hour or something, and however far you bike in that time is logged.  (However, not sure how they are going to do this since the spin class bikes don't have a way to show you how many miles you have gone.) And then a 5 min transition to get on a treadmill, and again, however far you can go in the given time is logged.  In the end the person who went the farthest wins.  I really doesn't appeal to me.  If I lived someplace where it was snowy and cold and there were no Tris for 6 months, I would do it.  But I have outside Tris to do here, so I am going to pass. Plus, with this one there are no age group divisions.  So with all the young Tri-punks at my gym, that would mean  I would be toward the bottom of the results list. No thanks!!!

BUT...I am sure you will have fun at yours!  Will this be your very first Tri experience?

Buffalo Springs 1/2 Ironman, Lubbock, Texas

I'm tempted to take the trainer to the sauna at the gym for some heat training!

I also may do a sprint tri in Kansas in May, but it's not on the event list so I don't know if they are doing it this year.

Hey guys, and now Matt too!  Thats great. I'm at the public library in Seward checking in on things.   Seems like everyone is doing great.  I've found that there isn't much to do here except work out (either that or hit the one bar in town) so I'm getting some good hours in.  Have a great weekend.  I'll probably check in next weekend as well.

For all of you enjoying warm weather, its frickin freezing here. Ugh

Hey Spriite!  Glad to see you made it to civilization for a while!!  It's super cold here too.  Well, not as cold as up there, I'm sure, but cold for Arizona!  It actually snowed in parts of the city yesterday!  I am sooooo ready for this cold front to move on through!  They are predicting that on Sunday it will be a low of 45 instead of 35, and actually warm up that day.  I can only hope because that 8am race time start is going to be a bit chilly for this desert dweller if not. 

When is everyone else planning their first race of the season?

Yeah, it has been quiet!!  I've been busier that a one-legged man in an a$$-kicking contest at work and I volunteered to help a friend install some new hardwood flooring (not that I'll be much help) this weekend.
