bEASTies - March Winds Challenge (Page 31)

cottoneyes - 2010-03-12 3:38 AM 12 days in and 38 pages already???

Update from the East out this way.  As per previous post it was going to be a slow start to the month here, thankfully my beautiful daughter Delaney made a spectacular entrance last Thursday, and after a few days managed to start slowly getting back into some training.

Currently sitting at 16% with a big ride hopefully planned for tomorrow, and Sunday is my first race in just over a year.  Unfortunately is only a dash length (300 / 10 / 2) to support my mate who started tris to lose weight and has lost 15 kgs and lines up for his first race on Sunday.  Small race but I'm still cracking out the aero helmet, disk wheel and five spoke front wheel - gotta have the bling.

Let's go team, remember this is our month cause when we get to the end of March and win, we get rewarded with EASTer, not WESTer.

Awesome!  Congrats.

Atlantia - 2010-03-11 8:01 PM Okay wow holy crap. I was just complaining about my job yesterday, and now today I got a letter from the county public safety department calling for a paper and pencil test. Precursor to the computer test, polygraph, and panel interview to become a 9-1-1 dispatcher. Suddenly very nervous. The letter says business casual, what is that? I have worked with animals so long all I have is scrubs, sweats and race tshirts. I'm off to shop now. I'm thinking nice pants and blouses, right? And I should get a few shirts since this is a multi-step process, right? I've done dozens of interviews at work, but I've never actually been on one.

ebshot - 2010-03-12 6:41 AM Hey guys.  I took a rest day yesterday.  Not that I really needed it but I wanted it.   I'll hit the bike today but first up is date day with hubby.  He took the day off today since he is leaving on Sunday for a month.  We are off to a nice breakfast and then going to Newport, RI.  Looking forward to it.  Then tonight we are gonna take the kids to see Alice and Wonderland since Bry will miss both Liam and Alex's birthdays.  An early celebration if you will.  Gonna be a good day.

MDHillSlug - 2010-03-11 3:00 PM Hi bEASTies!

Thanks for all of the birthday wishes.

I took the day off and went for a paved trail ride. The rain they had been talking about all week is holding off until at least tonight. The sun was in and out of light clouds. I was never quite warm enough to lose the long sleeve jersey but I frequently had it zipped down and the sleeves pushed up. I lost the trail at one point coming back and ended out at the road at the wrong place and needed to look at my iPhone map to figure out what to do.

Girl + Bike = Beautiful Day
Sounds like you had the perfect birthday!


Out to see a show tonight and I'll get my fancy birthday dinner tomorrow.

kns57 - 2010-03-12 7:13 AM Good morning team.  Funny how I feel the need to read and respond to yesterdays posts before I say good morning.  Guess I'm not in today until yesterday is read.  LOL

Got a bike and strength session in yesterday.  We worked on the back and I beat out my hubby.  Guess it is all the swimming building up those back muscles.

Good morning Enemy team - Congrats on the new triathlete!

Rest days are good guys - you should contemplate rest weekends or weeks as a matter of fact

If not, train well and have a solid day today.

BTW you guys were a great example for a talk I did about challenges and smack talking - I said it is fun but in the end we always want everyone to succeed so I hope you guys have a great training weekend!

wgraves7582 - 2010-03-12 9:21 AM

I got to talk to a group of ladies at our church about starting an exercise program and challenges was one to stay motivated.  They asked how we interact so I told them we have some good fun by teasing the other team but in the end we want everyone to be 100% successful!  They all got a kick out of it.

How can I not like you guys - I have been on a team with 90% of the people in the past and the others are from around my area and we have a lot in common (but you like the Bills and I don't )
