No, really, I need that bike. OK, cute kid story alert. Don't read any further if those sorts of things make you vomit... I took Exhibit C, who is two and a half, to visit the preschool he'll attend next year. He is personality plus and took over the place... for example, walked into the music room, said hi to the teachers, found the instruments, picked up a drum and made them march behind him and he's so freakin' cute (I swear it's not just because I birthed him that I think this) that no one can resist. They thought it was hilarious. Sooooo... we go into the office and I'm filling out the paperwork. He stands up on a chair (he is the third, this is acceptable behavior for third children) and looks out the window and sees the playground. Turns to the director of the school and announces (not really very quietly), "I NEED to go to the park." She smiles at him and responds, "Oh, you would like to go to the park today?" His answer?? Looks at her with a "you really aren't that bright" look and says, "NO. I said I NEED to go to the park." Fortunately for me, she had already accepted my check. We said our goodbyes quickly Moral of the story: NO. I said I NEED that bike!!!!

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Mila, cute story. LOL. My son is always picking up the ladies. It was the pizza delivery girl last week, and the hostess at the mexican restaurant last night. He is going to keep me on my toes.

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I had a productive weekend. I rode the bike course for the tri I am doing at the end of March, followed by a short run. Then today I swam a straight 500 yds. same distance as the pool swim for the tri. I haven't ridden my bike since June ( Mila, stop gasping ![]() |

Glad you got out there and did your thing. I'm sure you'll do great, but, uhhh, your bike misses you. It wants to be ridden!!! |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() LMAO!!! I am going to do much better this month. . . no cycling odes, nor excuses for the slack month, however this month is off to a great start!!!! I am even swimming! cb [Cashmason] . . . An oldie for Corey: Cyclists are the biggest sandbaggers and secret trainers around. They'll say anything to soften you up for the kill. Don't let this happen to you. Study this handy rider's phrasebook to find out what they really mean when they say: "I'm out of shape" Translation: I ride 400 miles a week and haven't missed a day since the Ford administration. I replace my 11-tooth cog more often than you wash your shorts. My body fat percentage is lower than your mortgage rate. Edited by Lwoodtri 2008-03-10 8:45 PM |

Today will be the last day of the season below ZERO...YAY!!! Bike commuting starts next week! How do you know? You could have a cold snap once my frozen heart gets to town. Speaking of... you know what you need, you need a nice little trip to Florida with your wetsuit... unless Corey wants to swim 1.2 for me! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hey guys, I'm alive, thanks for the inspires! i worked all weekend, and hubby came home from mexico, so the kids are thrilled (and me, too). Ad I was seriously slacking in both the workouts and the logging of the workouts I did do. And, well.....I bought my first bike!! I bought one of the javelin closeouts featured here on BT on the tri talk forum. I'm on hubby's laptop, so if you want to see a pic I'll have to post it later, or you can check it out on geauxtri's log. edit to add: pic is in my log now. And maybe later I'll add some training to that log, as well. Edited by givemashot 2008-03-11 12:26 PM |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Givemashot, congrats on the new bike. Cash, enjoy your vacation, I am envious. Mila, my bike and I aren't that close, we don't talk that often. I tend to hang with the stationary bikes, so I don't have to worry about getting hit by a car or something silly like that. But I will try my best to pay more attention. LOL. All, I actually made it 4 whole days this week without a day off. I am so proud. LOL. I have to get back to playing nurse for the next two days, then I'll check back in. Happy training. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Good job on the workouts Gygy! Nice bike Givemashot. I am jealous. Another day of skiing. Skied 6 black diamond runs. The first time in years I have skied black diamonds. And I was actually picking my line and turning when I wanted to, rather than just surviving the run. Lots of fun. |

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Brett... Perspective. You are well trained and will be fine on Saturday. Remember to race YOUR race. All that matters is that you keep moving forward and cross the finish line safely and feeling as though you gave it your best shot. Don't try to control the things over which you have no control. Feel blessed that you are able to race at all... and know that there are those among us that would be thrilled to have the ability to run 10:00/mile, not to mention 9:30 or 8:30. Find your focus and hold fast to it until that timing chip comes off... and then pat yourself on the back for doing what so few have the courage to do. Have a great race. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hey UTT, Good luck on the Race, you ARE READY physically! The mind games are normal this time of year, such as Am I ready, have I trained enough over the winter etc. Forget about last year's pace / times, the extra lbs, etc just go out and race your race!!!!! This is a fresh season with a new slate of training goals and racing times. I find for me that In the beginning of the season its best to just race the best you can see where the chips fall and use that as the training foundation / race baseline for the next event. Good luck . . . I know you will do great! cb UTTriman - 2008-03-13 8:06 PM milaminute - 2008-03-13 6:11 PM Nothin'? We got NOTHIN' allll day??? I hope it's cause you're out training.
