skrtrnr - 2010-04-06 9:24 PM my friend has been RAVING about the spin boot camp class.

so im gonna give it whirl tomorrow night.

he had me doing push ups 'in preparation'

you'd think i could do a reasonable amount.

i could barely manage five push ups in a row.

ARE YOU FRIGGING KIDDING ME????

i was mortified.

wth?

Oh my Queen - you are going to be so sore!!! Spin Boot Camp - Interesting Spin on it. I have just done boot camp.

You will be wishing for pushups after 8 count body builders or walking lunges around the gym or whatever else torture they come up with.

keep me posted I would love to hear how they combined the 2 activities!!!

thanks mr w. graves.

for those words of encouragement.

i REALLY appreciate it (she says, words dripping w sarcasm)

LOVE ya BABE.

mwah.
stacieb

LOL.

RUMOR HAS IT....this class is BY FAR the hardest class they offer at the Y.

and im gonna get my AZZ KICKED.

THAT SAID.

i overheard last nights instructor talking about all the run club/tri club folk going and taking this class and coming out injured....cuz....well.....they never strength train, the lot of them.

and i thought to myself....SELF...THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN HAVE AN ADVANTAGE over all those people who run/cycle circles around you.....

BETTER
STRONGER
FASTER

that would be my MOTTO.

i may not be the fastest or the most naturally talent, but i WILL be the hardest working, most consistent persistent triathlete in the bunch AND i will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS train to my limiters, thats for damn sure.

im ALL SET to come out to PHOENIX.

my friends who dont live far from the start of the RnR, said they'd LOVE to have me.

of course that's what they said. im MOST LOVEABLE that way.

i told them that they wouldnt see much of me over the weekend, at least until Sunday-Monday. they said that was fine, i could just come and go as needed.

i figured i would fly in 'check in' on Friday....come over to whatever hotel all the Ghoulies will be staying at (figured you guys would pick a hotel where you'd all stay)

spend the evening hanging out....crash on someones hotel room floor (can somebody make room for my SKINNY AZZ????)

go to the race to run.....or just sherpa TBD.

be there to collect everyone at the finish line.

spend time hanging out at the post-race hooplah.

isnt there usually a concert on Saturday night???

head back to my friends house late Saturday night, unless i get into some GHOULIE MISCHIEF

see everyone off on their respective flights home on Sunday.

head back to my friends house Sunday and Monday.

fly home mid-late afternoon Monday.

at least thats what im thinking, PLAN IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE A PLAN they'd like to share?

stacieb

One thing to note. I believe the race is on Sunday. Monday is a holiday though, it's President's day or something.

Queen,

I only speak words of warning. You have to understand where I am coming from. I dreaded going to the Y because boot camp is m-w-f. I get there will plans of walking by the class and doing my own thing and I find out our instructor is on vacation.

Can you say Thank God!!!!!!!! I was so happy I did a dance - LOL

so wait.

im confused.

you take boot camp.

or you dont take boot camp.

please clarify.

AND....though i have no experience taking SPIN boot camp (yes, it will be interesting to see how in the world they combine the two) i have had experience taking ONE 'regular' boot camp class.

i VOWED i would never walk into that fitness studio EVER again, i was sore as ALL GET OUT.

in fact, it took me longer to recover from THAT class than it did from my fall 1/2 marathon.

course im in the class thinking i was A BAD AZZED TRI ENDURANCE ATHLETE....it was the Plyos more than anything else that just SMASHED me.

believe me, i KNOW what im in for.

and that's why im OUT OF MY MIND SCARED S-H-I- YOU KNOW WHAT LESS.

and the fact that my friend is gonna be there to watch the CASTASTROPHE TAKE PLACE and he's ALWAYS one to LAUGH HYSTERICALLY at my EXPENSE....should be a FUN evening.

BUT....

NOTHING VENTURED

NOTHING GAINED.

and like i said, I (WILL) ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS train to my limiters.

even though its gonna SUCK/HURT LIKE HELL.

I took it over the winter once my leg healed up. It got to the point when I just hated doing it because it hurt so much and I "BELIEVE" I am in pretty good shape. This lady kicked my A$$ all over the gym and back.

She even called me out one day for sandbagging on the weight of weights and bands I was using - LOL. I told her I am 43 and I am totally comfortable with my body. I believe in Long and Slow not short and Fast (And Yes Ann(e) all areas of my life!!! In case you were curious - LOL)

I will tell you one thing - I am stronger today because of it. Mostly Fast Twitch type stuff but I know she helped me and I will give her credit and gratitude when I kick TransIowa's A$$ in 2 weeks!

That being said I will never return (at least for the time being because I ride most of the time!)

Please give me the low down on Spin Boot Camp though when you get it. I will be very interested in hearing how they incorporate it. I have some ideas but want to hear the horror of it all!!!

- LOL

oh mr. graves, how i love thee.

we are just peas of the same pod.

i hope to be singing the SAME EXACT TUNE as you.

and for the record.

TRANSIOWA has NOTHING ON YOU.

YOU JUST GO OUT THERE AND KICK SOME TRANSIOWA AZZ!!!!!!!
