Milaminute and Sparco's Group - Closed (Page 31)

SWEET!  My stomping grounds were in that area.   Lived near Brookhurst and Adams.

Great place to live!

Now that ya got the new goggs, you'll swim great.   Just keep working at it.  You'll do fine!  That said, have you considered joining a masters swim group.  Good way to get a workout in and some coaching.  Or maybe you just need to find a buddy who's an excellent swimmer to help get you over those first bumps!

At anyrate, I think most of us understand your struggle!  I know I sure do.  I was the exact same way when I started.  Then all of a sudden something clicked and I went from only being able to do about 50 yards w/out stopping to 300.  Was weird!

Don't be ridiculous.  My boyfriends live in warmer climates and take me on tropical vacations .

Secret reason for Maryland... not really a secret.  I had a doctor's appointment on Friday afternoon and spent the weekend catching up with friends and family.

Secret reason for Minnesota in March... is still a secret .

Here are the results after 10 days of the Mila/Sparco February Team Challenge.  Results calculated from totals posted before 7 p.m. EST on Sunday the 10th

Sal = Sandbagger

O.K....well...I WAS supposed to drop my swimming and biking miles this month, because I DO have a marathon in 3 months, but the half Ironman's got me really askeered...

O.K. then...just so I DON'T look like a sandbagger, maybe I'll just cut down on my training volume, which is fine and dandy with me, considering work kicked my butt this morning (in at 7, skipping my lunchtime workout...waah...I'll cry myself a river)...

I guess I could bump up my swim goal for the benefit of you whiners my mentor group...

Sincerly, S.B., I mean S.P.

 Mine too right now! (although I blame it on fighting to get into the wetsuit and 3 weeks off)  Thank goodness the anti-inflammatory dose of advil is 800mg

Ain't it the Truth!  

Lwoodtri - 2008-02-11 7:39 PM Don't let that ankle dominate that discussion, unless he is really telling you something you should listen too!!! LOL Hope you come out on top of that discussion!

milaminute - 2008-02-11 2:53 PM Nah, I'm just jealous of your big percentage. My ankle and I are currently discussing my running goal .

No worries... I told the ankle to shut up and ride and run today.  So far so good.  Seems to be fine unless I try to move it to either side.  It only hurt when I tried to unclip, but that's a minor detail.  Fortunately, I unclip left first and it's my right ankle so there should be no falling into traffic on account of it.  I can't vouch for the rest of my clumsy self, though!  

AHEM... yes, it sure is, and do not think it's gone unnoticed that Cash is right there with him .

Allright...go ahead and bump my swim goal up to 20,000 yds...that way if Jim and Brett hit it before I do, I can accuse them of being sandbaggers...

Nah, you can't, we all know the real sandbagger... with the avatar to prove it...

OK, Sal, I'm going to need warm weather when I come to Minnesota.  Thanks in advance.

PM me your plans.  I'm assuming you'll be staying near Chanhassen.  I can always arrange din din with the BT group on Monday night.  Axel's is right in Chanhassen.  Business write-off?  Kidding...

Definately got Cashmason on the run -- he's been tagged!!!  

You must remember, oh sandbagging cheescake lover, that some of us set realistic goals before the month started.   Not to mention that some of us also were on the SIR list (Sick, injured, reserve) for a 5 days at the first of the month.

That said.   I'm confident I'm not sandbagging it...     Why should I?  I've got a race to get ready for! 

Good to see you out there training hard!   Good job !

And yes we noticed the low goal thresholds in certain training areas.....
