Sweet bike Dave!!!
But, not a big fan of the name 'people.'
How about the 'badger-mobile.'  or 'Felt like the first time'

aahhh Suzy, that was great!! What a wonderful memory video for all of you!

Exact color scheme as pictured. 
Didn't have a chance to take a real picture yet for you guys to rip on everything in the background......maybe tonight!

DougRob - 2010-09-21 3:21 PM Dino:

How about "North Star" as in the name of a former NHL hockey team and the right colors?

badgerintx - 2010-09-21 2:18 PM

Definitely a Girl, I don't want to have to continually tell my bride that I am going to ride some guy, that would just be weird!


And AWESOME video   .....gave me chills just watching it!  Congrats again IRONMAN!

Dino, for the Canadian's, Dave, and for you Suzy, Dineen!

AHHHHH, my old favorite team before they moved away from me as a child. 

So here are the ideas so far:
1. Five-hole
2. Cat
3. North Star

Thanks for the input so far.......

tahrens - 2010-09-21 1:56 PM Okay, is it just me, or do Dinos and Suzy's avatar photos look way too similar?  I spent all morning trying to figure out why Suzy got a new bike.  

I gave my bike a different official name but now it is commonly referred to as the Little b*stard every time I have to go for a long ride.

This basically means please someone come up with something better!!!!  I originally started with the thought of female Badger for obvious reasons, but that is a SOW, not so hot or attractive....my last idea is TAXUS....no one will no what the heck it means, but it is the formal species name for Badger.  If you say it just right, it can sound kind of hot, sleek and sexy.  Ok, that's all I've got.

PS Tracy, I think that lake water is affecting more than your stomach!

CyborgQueen - 2010-09-21 3:48 PM How about Black Radioactive? 

Okay I'm not so good with names. :-)  I named mine Roulette.

Anyhoo - I'm *praying* that I didn't lose my bike/run fitness over a little bump in my life (my last living Grandparent passed away). I could barely get in a run here in NJ.  I started a new medication, that caused me to be nauseous for a while, so I hardly feel like I want to do anything. 

I have triathlon this Sunday. I'm hoping to get in a Bike on Thursday, a Bike/Run (non-brick) on Friday, and a run on Saturday.

Hopefully I didn't lose too much fitness.  From now until Dec half-mary, I'm self-coaching. I had to pay my airfare, so I don't have enough money left over for coaching. I know it sucks, but I think I'll be alright.   My only concern is the half-mary.  I really would like to RUN/walk the whole thing, but I think I will be just fine walking the last few miles.   I'll be the slowest runner of the MG, so I hope you all will be waiting for me at the finish line! :-)
Goal for the race is to get out of my comfort zone and push harder.  I have found that my last two races I held back some. While that's seem to be a good idea, but I feel like I had a whole lot left in my tank when I finish and I was afraid that I'll screw up on the run if I pushed too hard on the bike.   Hope this is a good goal! My OLY tri is next month, so knowing my "limit" will help me determine how fast to go on the bike/run.  Swim - I don't care too much for it actually, and I am just going with the flow.

Tracy - I was thinking the same thing this morning.

I named my bike Lolo - after the Olympic trackster.... they are both fast and sexy.

SSMinnow - 2010-09-21 8:04 PM

I like your attitude, although if I can learn to love swimming anyone can!

 And no matter who comes in last we will all be there to cheer them on....of course I might decide to take a shower before Trev comes in from that marathon!!  I think the cut off is 8 hours. 

TrevorC - 2010-09-21 9:08 PM

hey now!! And it says the cut off is 5 1/2 hours for the full. Michelle is a little worried about that...
