Watch out.

This is a very dangerous time of year. Why?

GIRL SCOUT COOKIES! They are everywhere and you CAN'T EAT JUST ONE.

I have two neices I bought from.  I think I have 12 boxes coming

Mmmmmmm, thin mints straight out of the refrigerator.

Meeting with our IM coach tomorrow morning.  We have to bring our goals for 2009 along with what our time goals are for IM WI.  Would anyone like to help me out with that?

Oh yeah, she wants us to race a lot more.  Uh, I really love doing a lot of races. 

dont mind me, just passing thru.  thought i heard something about GS cookies or something..........................

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW

I think you can get closer to 15 hours....  I think your swim will be faster- just cuz its not your first IM.... I think your Transitions willbe a lot faster- 16 minutes...were you putting make up on   I think your bike will be a little faster just because you know the distance already- maybe close to 7?  and I know you can have a much better run then that!

Make up?  Nope, I didn't even brush or comb my hair!  I stopped to talk to friends by the swim exit and then on the helix.  Someone had to remind me to get going.  I think I was celebrating finishing the swim too much. 

My bike was racked so far back I was almost off of the convention center.  Stupid enough to put on my bike shoes in T1, I should have carried them to the mount line.

Time goals for IM WI Round 2:

• Swim-1:30 (pretty safe goal minus 10 min from 2008)
• T1-10 minutes (minus almost 7 min from 2008)
• Bike-7:00-7:15 (minus 30-40 min from 2008)
• T2-6-7 minutes (minus a couple of min from 2008)
• Run-5:30 (minus almost one hour)
• Adds up to a total of 14:17-14:32

Race schedule has definitely ramped up from last year:  1 run in March, 1 run in April, 2 runs in May, Oly in June (maybe 2), Sprint and HIM in July.  She is also throwing in a lot of speed work this spring.  I hope I survive.

My MTB race for Sunday has been scrapped because of the weather! Apparently hard packed ice with snow and rain/meltwater over the top = zero traction and no race (FOOOOOOEEW!)

Hopefully I'll get out through the forestry with my race buddy instead - otherwise it'll be back in the garage for another plod on the trainer...

On another note, tonight is my Day 3 of Week 6 on the hundredpushups programme - then the big test on Sunday night... (watch this space!!)

Have a good weekend folks!

How the heck does someone only eat one, repeat one, thin mint?  What discipline!

Babs, is it your first Olympic distance?  How are you thinking you will do?  I happen to do my best racing when I have no time goals and have no idea of how I am pacing. 

Heather, I'm with you, eat a nice row of thin mints and wash them down with some nice cold milk!

when is the race?

Just from your previous races and looking atyour logs..Im thinking you can do (remember I am abit of an over achiever at times)

swim 36-37min, bike what is the distance some olympics vary from 24-28? but Im guessing you can avearge 18.  Run 55 minutes

What do you think?

as for Feb goals...well it is more then half over- YEAH...but lets do a little more then double what you have....  bike 100 miles run 42 and swim 20,000 (not do that much more but that will be your feb totals..sound good?)

Well I think you are going to try your hardest to beat ME

nah, i'll stay behind ya......................for obvious reasons!!!!
