TriAya's Group: SHUT like dog on steak, sorry! (Page 37)

You are so hard core.

Awesome job on the swim, Shawn!!  I had a super short swim today thanks to my kid who decided it would be good to poop (in diaper at gym daycare) just as soon as mom (me) got in the water.  Argh!!!!  Since I didn't feel like traipsing through the entire gym in my swimming suit to change said diaper, I just swam a quick 400 after my warm up and called it good.  Better than nuthin'?!?

Erin, we are all hard core on here!!  Just wait until race season begins, this mentor group will be ON FIRE!!!!!

AWESOME job on the rides!!  PAT, PAT, PAT!!

Thanks for the GREAT index!  It is making it sooo much easier when referencing previous material!!

Nothing wrong there at all!  You totally ROCK Erin! 

WOOHOO Shawn!!  That is AWESOME news!  You will do great on your Feb challenge!

Better than nothing for sure . . but frustrating nonetheless!  At least this is your week to lay low

I soooo can't wait for race season!  It is going to be so much fun watching everyone in this group!!!  Can't agree more, we WILL be on FIRE!! 

Speaking of . . . Yanti, don't you have a race coming up, like SOON?!  Anyone else?

Renee

Yanti, I am still trying to find an OLY in either TX or CA - seems ticket prices are very similar, so though I was originally planning TX, it really wouldn't matter.  I did take a look around for something near you, but didn't see anything for early April though   If you know of something, let me know.  I'd love to make it out that way & hopefully get a chance to meet you!

For any of you that have raced before . . . it seems races tend to fall on Sundays - I'm envisioning being worthless after the race haha  Not sure how true this is . . do you usually stay put on the evening of the race and head home the next day, or travel the same day?  I'm trying to figure out if I'll need to take Monday off after my planned Oly and HIM . . . Will I be able to move after the HIM??  Maybe I'll want a day off regardless of what day I travel?  Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Ok, sorry to bombard you all with posts and checkout, but I gotta get some sleep!  NEED to get to spin in time to ACTUALLY GET A BIKE!  That IS the idea, right?  

Have a GREAT night all & happy training tomorrow!!!  WOOHOO!

Renee

the day after a sprint, I go back to work

anything longer than that, I schedule a day off complete with a massage

Congratulations !!!

Shawn, that's incredible! You are awesome. Your accomplishment is what (I believe) lies at the heart of tri ... that it enables us to do things we never thought to do (much less thought were possible). In fact, you DID accomplish the impossible, because before today ... it WAS impossible!

This, too, is the beauty of our sport ... every day is a new endeavor, and there are so many wonderful landmarks to hit in tri, always, whether you're a newbie or an old tri fart .

Renee (and everyone else, of course, too )

There are good Olys on March 22 and April 20 here, but that's it. Do NOT travel the day of, although I'd say it's fine to travel Monday and go to work Tuesday. (Jayne Williams has a hysterical description of what she calls Post Race Stupidity Syndrome, or PRSS--my friends and I call it "moosiness" or "moosey" because basically you just want to sit around and chew vacantly, like a moose. )

I got shut out of my half-marathon this Sunday, but I'm pulling every string I've got to try to get in. I just didn't have the dough to sign up until today, and of course (thank you, Murphy!) today all the races closed. I won't cry if I don't get in--the universe has a way of righting itself. I'm barely back on my feet, I still have a cough, and there's a wonderful group ride with a bunch of BTers the day before, so ... win-win.

Hi everyone,

I know Erin already read my blog and left nice comments....but I thought I'd let you all know I wrote a book in there about the meaning of this day in my life.  I am sort of down and blue, so I could use a few more inspires!    Not to be pushy....but thought I'd let you know!!

I am taking the day off and hopefully getting a massage.

CONGRATULATIONS SHAWN!!!  THAT'S FABULOUS!  BTW...did you see that I finished the challenge. 

I have a race this weekend.  It's just a 5K, but I am REALLY determined to get under 30 minutes this time.  That was my goal last time and I finished at 30:44.   I have REALLY improved since then, so it shouldn't be very hard, but you never know.  I am secretly hoping to finish around 28 minutes.

what's Team Javelin?

Hi Gang!

sooo, does marathon cooking count for anything?  I prepped somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 meals today - whew!
