Member![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hey All: Sorry have dropped off been trying to get better have been suffering from a terrible upper respitory infection and have been resting trying to get well. It is a very nasty illness has kept me down and has made its way through the family my youngest has been nearly 3 wks trying to get over it, the cough just seems to persist, It knocked my riding partner down to total bed rest for nearly 6 days. It has been a particularly bad flu season here, not to mention the worst winter in years. My mojo is nearly depleted. Not to fear though, I will get back on track. Well you all have a great wknd. Mike |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Happy Saturday! The weather's great here this weekend and it's killing me. I'm moving into a taper for my half-mary next Saturday. I've been killing my legs the last 10 days or so and need to rest them, but I want to be out there riding! |

Extreme Veteran![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I have a reverse sprint tri on the 8th. medic0020 - 2008-02-28 11:26 AM How's everybody doing? We do seem to have lost a little momentum in keeping up with each other via the forum but it always looks like everyone's been busy with inspires. I'm absolutely guilty of being awol a lot lately. I've been ratcheting up my training, battling with some feelings of being disgruntled about work, and working too much....BUT I also want to keep up with you guys. I'm glad to see that many of you are participating in the challenges. This is a great way to keep pushing yourself, particularly on those days when you might be tempted to let a workout slide. What's on the race calendars for March? I've got my 4th half-mary on March 8th and a sprint tri (first of the season here) on March 29th. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Isn't there some extra penalty when the challenge organizer's team fails to meet their goal? That sounds like it deserves something special

I MET MY FEBRUARY CHALLENGE GOAL!In fact, I was at 111% of my goal.It's my dopey team that failed to hit their goals. So my penalty for not putting myself on a better team, is that I have to wear a Pats avatar. But, let me repeat - I SURPASSED MY GOAL FOR FEBRUARY. So there. :P Edited by D001 2008-03-03 8:10 PM |

The biking team didn't do well on the Jan challenge. But I wanted to bike in Feb. So I put myself with people who hadn't hit their goals the month before.... I suspected it would be a problem and... yeah, it was a problem. That said, some people on the team did have "stuff happen." (Then again, I was working 80 hrs/week, and I still managed to meet my goal. Of course, nothing else got done. (I did do the laundry though, as I didn't really want to run out of underwear! LOL) |

Your biking group will not yet you down this month...I already have 2.25 hours out of 15 so I am well on my way and well if Eric lets us down...we can trash him on this board the rest of the mentor season Update for everyone: I signed up for the Door County Half Ironman in July and just started my training plan. This is for real! I can't believe it still. I also became a USAT member so I can stop paying those stupid one day fees. Keep me on track everyone!! So far so good |
