I used to be a Hill Slug, but I've moved past that. However, I think I should switch to calling myself "Sea Slug".  

So glad you are feeling better.

owl_girl - 2008-04-24 10:29 PM It always comes back to the legs with you, Beth!

LOL

what can I say? I'm a leg gal! - can you blame me?

Wow...a girl after my own legs heart.  Thanks Beth

You are no sea slug either!  That sounds like a tough OWS in your tri given not only the weather conditions, but the cold water to boot.  Cold water can provide quite a shock to your system and make it difficult to breathe and relax (2 essentials to swimming ).  Plus your first race in your wet suit(which you admit doesn't fit real well).  Your next one will be better.

Woo hoo, nice legs!  Gotta wear shorter running shorts when you train.....get that tan to go all the way up the legs.  And when you get the new shorts we want to see a picture of those too (with you in them)

I put some miles on the bike today....it is so needed.  My average speed was 14.  That sucks...consider that I had a stretch of downhill for about 0.5 mile were I was at 32mph.   I gotta get out there and climb more. 

On a good note, I immediately ran afterwards for 2 miles and was very happy with my pace.  I am still amazed how I have no control over my legs when I come off the bike.  I think next month the focus will be on the bike and some bike/run bricks.  I gotta stop playing in the water for awhile. 

Hey I just saw this....I am not evil, just trying to motivate you.  Maybe this is more of a motivation.

If you pick a race for that weekend let me know, I will come race with you.  I will see if I can find one in between. 

owl_girl - 2008-04-25 2:50 PM I put some Alaska photos in my album!

Beautiful pictures...I could get used to the scenery...but never the weather.

well...rather.....um.............plugged up! but feel good in the mornings! tomorrow is another day, though...right!!!!

or without them...bad bad me!

nice job...and good pace on the run Tammy! biking will get easier...just like swimming...the more you do it the better and faster you get! seems like you love to swim and I love to bike...hey where is the runner and we have a great relay team! kiu! you are doing great!

So, I am a little closer to my goals after tonight - I will have no trouble meeting 100% and will most likely be over, for sure in the run

waidaminute, is that me that just said that??????

 

With all that running you will be in prime shape to run that 5k this weekend with Dave.

LOL!

has anyone ever told you you might be evil

not sure wralking 5 hrs this month has made me ready for a race this weekend, although............ok, I'm saying it out loud.............I am seriously looking for a race to do the next time I stay in PA, which will be the weekend of May 10 -

I think that sounds like a great idea!  Let's go for it  

I've got some good workouts on tap for the weekend - so I'm not going to workout tonight

I decided it would be best to get back into the plan, rather than try and adjust it

I can't remember if I mentioned it, but I am staying in PA this weekend 

I think I'm done for the day - soooooo, not motivated to work

Here's to my weekend in PA

to be honest, I secretly glad that I am not on a plane right now  

I don't,  in fact I just learned about that a couple of weeks ago but haven't had a chance to check it out 

Nicole,

There's a thread in Tri Talk called 'now what' that was started by someone who has a race this weekend and the weather is going to be similar to what you faced in your race

they are looking for some advice - Tracy and I both thought you would be a great resource since you just went through it

Swim, bike, run!!!

We can still do it team!

I know none of us want to be known as buttercups or pansies

hmmmmmmmmmm

where are all of my lavaly teammates????

oh, I know - they are out training

We must be!  The volcano is active on the Big Island...and there is a bunch of vog (volcanic smog) here (on Oahu) today.  It is a sign of much lavaly action!  Go lava go!

but I want this vog to leave...it messes with my lungs
