Way to go on the hardware.... 

Nice legs Beth!

Nooooooooo, say it isn't so! How are we going to partay and all that stuff next week if you are not feeling well!?! Seriously, hope you get to feeling well soon! DANG did your whole family get it!? I have not had it but I will never forget when I was in the 8th grade, I came home from spending the night out, and my entire family (parents and three brothers and my sister were all in bed....all of them were soooo sick. My parents sent me to the store in the car....I was only 14 and boy did I feel grown up! Luckily I did not crash! but they were soooooooo sick for two to three days...I kept asking my mom did she need me to run any more errands, but never got to drive the car again...until I was legal! hehe FEEL BETTER GIRL....I am going to be in San Diego from Wednesday next week to the following Tuesday! Hope we get to hang out together!

Wooo Hooo!

Congrats to the racers!  I love reading RR's!

I am over 100% on bike and run, and have 1 hr left on the swim

GREAT job on the race...and the hardware...Remember..there were plenty of people sitting at home that were in your age group that chose not to get off the sofa and do the training/race...so don't feel bad at all that there "were only FOUR in my AG"...that's their fault not yours because you did the work...besides that you are a LAVA LADY 

HEY a second place out of four is still GREAT!! kiu!

It's always fun to get hardware

I got 3rd (out of 3) in my second tri - I wasn't sure how many people were even in my AG - it was kind of a rainy miserable day and so we didn't stick around to see as I was convinced there was no way I was getting anything

Imagine my surprise when a few weeks later I got a medal in the mail (especially since they had made a HUGE deal out of the fact that they were not going to send medals out)

I was literally seconds behind the 2nd place gal and I thought dang - if only - LOL 

that's awesome! 

x2 - great job Jen!

I just updated the spreadsheet...I am at 110 for biking (imagine that)

and 79% for swim....I will be swimming tomorrow and Tuesday so it will be over 100% after both swims.

I am at 88% in my runs....will do my best to get in a few more..but may not reach the 100% there! hope to, though! how bout the rest of you...have you updated? I still see some numbers that are mighty low...hoping we can bring them up!

LETS GO LAVA!

Tomorrow I will be listing names by percentages...get busy so that you are not at the bottom of the list....

AINT NO PANSIES or BUTTERCUPS around this team!

Happy Monday to everyone! 

It was supposed to be a swim day for me.  I am at 105% on the swim and I was going to throw that up to 110% today, but alas I am not feeling too well.  Something I ate didn't agree with me, and lets just say I am having a workout just trying to keep my stomach down.  I am at 110% on the run, and I will put the bike up there hopefully tomorrow.  Depending on how things play out I may be able to get a swim in on Wednesday, but for my sake I really need the time on the bike...hmmm maybe a brick on Wednesday.  I don't think I can even get to the pool today to throw in the 800 yards to put me at 110%.

Please take care of your health first, but of course, we'll take the training miles!  

The week 4 update has been posted!

1. Mighty Moose - 95.52%
   
2. Exciting Elephants - 92.51%
   
3. Amazing Atoms - 91.67%

We have through Wednesday to finish our workouts and through Friday to get everything logged on the spreadsheet. A little more effort and we can crack 90% for the team!

yay Tammy! way to have those high numbers! but remember this is a motivation challenge and we would rather you be healthy then reach those numbers and have a set back. Feel better...I am going swimming for you today! yup, you heard me right! I am heading to the pool in just a few minutes! woot woot!

Gonna get in a good 2000 meters today...if not more...planning on just doing lots of slow and steady laps! GO LAVA!

no worries....you take care and be ready for Sundays race!

hope you are feeling better! and from the sounds of things...he will be busy for at least a week....as it still has a long ways to go before being contained!

on a good note, will see you Saturday for packet pick-up and lunch....

take it easy and good luck with the little ones health! no more crappy day, ya hear!?!

I just posted the infamous race report - sorry I was such a rookie and did not get my split times...I forgot to hit my stopwatch until way into the bike portion of the ride...ROOKIE MOVE, I KNOW!....

finally heard from City of Moraga...so, I can now post my finish...they did not have splits only the top three racers names and finishing times....

Thanks to all of you for all of your great thoughts, inspires and encouragement! I really would not have gotten this far with out you! YOU"Z da BEST!

that is still a great improvement! CONGRATS!

Thanks Jenny, I am.
