Run your azz off in July Ghoulies!!! (Page 32)

mndymond - 2010-07-10 9:36 PM Well...ended up finishing off my original bike plus a few km's...

Felt better after lying down for awhile. Who knows?

disturbed275 - 2010-07-10 9:22 PM Just got back from the 10k.  Legs felt okay, but I definitely fell apart the last couple of miles.  Still managed to finish around 42 minutes so I'm happy.  Got a coffee mug for being in the top 100 and the post race pasta was excellent

Time for a little sleep before the early morning wake up call for tomorrow's tri!

Well not giving anything away (because I know you will have to watch the Tour later Neal)...The TOUR was FANTASTIC this morning! Haha. I was yelling at the television! exciting!

Now onto HOLLAND!! Go orange GO!!!

So pumped. I think I will go run (and not fall down like the last time I was super excited about the Tour)...Going to attempt to stretch it out a bit, I'm feeling a bit tight...it might be a hot tub day later too.

D001 - 2010-07-11 11:41 AM But if you fall down, you'll be just like............ Oh wait. I can't type the name. Because not everyone has watched today's stage yet.

mndymond - 2010-07-11 2:57 PM

So remember how pumped I said I was....

I just ran 9.09km in 44:58!!!! OMG!!!!!

never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever have I done that. YAA PB!!!

Totally due to the Tour...and how FANTASTIC today was...

I felt awful yesterday...tired and stiff...and then that run today? I don't understand my body.

I didn't fall down...but I did replay in my mind! Haha.

I feel like we are all talking in code.

kcarroll - 2010-07-11 4:59 PM Hi Ghouls.  Lots of reading to catch up on, but will have to put that on tomorrow's to do list.  Finally back home from the Cape and have several bags of wet, dirty laundry to deal with.  Nantucket Tri done, although nothing to brag about other than finishing.  This is the first race I've ever done with a noon start (to allow for ferry travel to the island that morning.) I am a confirmed wimp as I have decided that a s/b/r of any distance in 88° and almost 100% humidity is close to inhumane and have taken Kona off my bucket list. For our wannabe race organizers, an out and back bike coarse on narrow, two lane roads which are open to traffic, is a recipe for crashes no matter how many nice cops you put out there.  I had to unclip twice and brake going up hill to avoid collisions on several occasions. That said, there were lots of cool things about the race.  First of all, Nantucket is just a beautiful place to spend a day - or two.  Senators Kerry and Brown were at the race(Brown placed in his AG, Kerry was spectating) and Jenny Thompson (as in hall of fame swimmer) competed.  Locals were terrific and had hoses out in full force to help cool us off during the run.  Several non official water/lemonade stands were also available throughout the course, which was fun.

This race was part of a girl's long weekend for me, so no complaints.  The post race activities were light(aka nil) so we went back down to the beach and cooled off in the ocean.  Showered, changed and had a late lunch/early dinner plus a few recovery beers in town before taking the ferry back to the Cape. Life is good.

Hope everyone else had a nice weekend!
