I'm struggling with feeling good about myself today.

Tell me something good that happened to each of you over the weekend.

(and no, I'm not going into details of why I'm down. I just need some perspective, thanks).

Rode my bike for an hour naked (no HRM, no looking a speed)...just rode...

Rode part of the way through cornfields...that's what biking's all about...it was just plain fun!

Played Scrabble with the family last night...

sounds like a perfect night!

you need to try Apples to Apples - it's a fun game! 

We actually have that game...the kids wanted to play Monopoly, and Cindy HATES Monopoly, so she suggested Scrabble...

kns57 - 2008-06-30 9:12 AM Yesterday when I dropped the cycle, I got my foot stuck under it. Yeah, by bum foot. It hurt yesterday, but htis morning is doing pretty good, so I'm hoping that It wont' affect the doc releasing me to start run/walking.

Oh! Be careful! I always worry that I'm going to do something to hurt myself and then not be able to run/bike. That is why I decided against going snowboarding this winter. I hurt my arm the last time I went. At that time I wasn't swimming, but I sure as heck would've been out for a long time because of that fall. The diagnosis was "tennis elbow"... from snowboarding!

Injuries are soo frustrating! Although Tennis elbow from snowboarding sounds really funny to me...

Kendra- sounds to me like yuo need a bike trainer so you can ride your bike without much risk of aggravating yuor injury through mishaps for awhile... not sure if it would help!

 



Ummm, I don't think they make a bike trainer for the motorcycle. That's what I dropped, not a bicycle . LOL
I've got one of our bicycles on one in the basement right now.

Yep, those good 'ole sweet Vidalia onions....

OMG!  I put Vidalias on absolutely EVERYTHING.  Sautee some Vidalias and portabellas and use them in twice baked potatoes.  Seriously.  Do it now.

Uh... I like my Vidalias and Port's with steak and whiskey.....

BUT... there is NO other onion besides the Vidalia that should be used for an etoufeé!!!  And THAT is cardinal law!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean steak and Abita right?

mmm... no Abita goes with Pizza.... steak goes with Whiskey - my buddy jack to be specific....

Ok - just hit 85 sign ups for the challenge...

I was going to put something in the TriTalk and COJ forums for tomorrow USA time now Im not sure how crazy I want it to goet...

Putting something up generally reduces the amount of people that sign up late which is a major positive... and makes setting teams easier... but once challenge numbers get to this point it starts to be a bit of a juggle keeping track of everyone...

Then again there is google spreadsheet this year and thats a positive....

Did we ever find out if anyone knew Ron well enough to ask about a podium pick 'em contest?

Oh I forgot about that... one of out lovely moderators must be able to???? Beth? Dee?

No sign of the Tour De France forum either yet... I hope we go get one because otherwise you get the frustrations of people posting results before everyone has seen the coverage...

so, remind me what the podium pick 'em contest is?

I don't know Ron well, but I'd be happy to ask - after all, there's no harm in asking right?

I think we were going to see if he'd put up a BT jersey or membership for the winner of a podium and jersey picking contest. Sort of like an NCAA basketball pool.



OK. But who is going to coordinate all the entries, and eventually determine who the winner is?

sesh - 2008-07-01 1:34 PM I honestly think the exlusion of Levi and Astana has really hurt the build up over here in the States.

I can understand that - levi is very loveable!

But you have a great team in Garmin-Chipotle... including to lovely guys from down under!

True, but Levi was a guy known outside of just the cycling world. So without him, it's getting no coverage on the general sports programs.

Yeah thats because he was riding during the lance era too Im guessing... the new guys probably havent had the same tv coverage...

Really is a pity Dave Z wont be riding... he would give the teram the profile they need to get coverage Im guessing...

I'm sad Dave Z isn't riding. I like him. Not so sure about the mustache though.



Why isn't Dave Z riding?

It's on ALL WEEK! Every night at 8 PM! I am sooooo happy. But I wish they'd show underwater pics - so I could analyze their stroke. Even so - I'm happy.

Yeah right...



Wow. All of you need to get your minds out of the gutter.

The funny thing is - that I really didn't intend anything perverse there. I really just DID want to try to watch how they swim.

You're all a bunch of perverts.

Hi Nibbs - I posted a little challenge reminder in Tri Talk here: http://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid... decided not to bother with COJ this time around... not sure if that was a good idea or not... I figured most people probably check tri talk???

Anyway that should catch the morning BT crowd before it gets bumped off the first page... if any one is around and wants to get it up for the afternoon crowd that would be awesome.. it really helps if people sign up BEFORE I assign team so hopefully this will help with that



Just checked, and you're still on the the first page. (Thanks to Jen's post there!)
