Reuben...hmmm ....oh yea! Glad you are back.

Yes the wetsuit is really tight! It is supposed to be really hard to get on but they stretch more when they get wet.  was worried about it being too short in the torso and inhibiting motion...but it is perfect. Not so super shiny..more, "stealth" like. I'll get my son to take a picture later and I'll post it.

Have you guys seen Lynn's log! She is really working hard. Way to go Lynn!

I have thoughts of chicken soup directed your way for those of you with the flu.

When I taught swimming, I would tell my students to envision a ball that they are grab at the top of the stroke and throw down to their feet. The stroke underwater is a slight "key hole" shape, sweeping slightly out, then in - but under your body. Your thumb of your hand should almost hit your thigh when you fully finish your stroke and begin the next one.

Jo, I have never had the need for a nose plug, but I do use ear plugs, and only developed the need for them over the past few months.

Need to see pics of the bike...sounds sweet!

I was palnning on doing a run today but the left groin muscle is still really sore form yestardays ride. I gonna take Brodie out in the jog stroller for a loop around the trail...walking.  I plan on getting up early in the morning for a swim before duty and then mmaybe trya run later in the afternoon. Tuesday I am going to the LBS to get fitted. Im gonna take my new shooz so they can check the cleats also.

You are not a wuss.  There is no way in hell I would have gone out today.  It was freezing here.... the fact that you made it 6 miles is hardcore.  No way for me.

Well, we had sunny weather in California this weekend, but man was it ever windy!  But I managed to slog through my first ever half century yesterday, in Solvang.  Here's my report, if you're bored and want something to read...   http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=106334

How did the rest of you fare this weekend?

Congrats! It was beautiful here in Sunny LA, but the wind can be a real pain, especially up in Solvang. Way to go - enjoyed the report.

I am hoping people call her "FAST".....

lmscozz - 2008-03-10 11:12 AM Did you get aerobars with that, Bennet? Okay, it's official. I have my first road rash. Wanted to share my skinned knee story. I kind of forgot I was clipped in and I went to stop and just slowly fell over. You'd think I would have remembered 5 minutes later when I came to my first stoplight, but nooooo, I did clip out with my right, but my brain wasn't functioning or something because I leaned to my left and of course my foot was still clipped in so I tried to recover and then just tipped over to my right. Wonder if that's what cows feel like when mean teenagers go cow tipping at night? I'm not saying I'm a cow, but...you are down on the pavement, wondering what the hell happened and realizing probably everyone in their cars are getting a nice chuckle, unless of course they are too busy texting or talking on their cells! so, I got up and the wind dried up the blood drip and I looked like a true tri warrior. It's all good! Have a great week everyone.

Welcome to the club, Lynn.  We ALL will do that at least once.  It happens.  Its and initiation.  Wear your "action tatoo" with pride.

Great job on the big 5-0, Keith.  Sounds like a tough course... but I am sure you learned a lot.  That's important.

So for me, I did my LT test today.  Ouch, ouch, ouch.  My LT is 177... a lot higher than it was last season.    I guess I need to run more.

Lynn,

Sorry about the fall. The clip thing can be a challenge.

Sarah!  How are you feeling?  

Is everybody on the mend? 

I took my son swimming with me Sunday.  I think he might tri this summer. He had such a great  time swimming and he told me how good it made him feel at track today.  He said he could breathe and run faster. He's never really liked individual sports but is starting to understand the concept of beating your last best time.  He ran his fastest ever time in the 200m at the track meet Saturday.

I'm looking for a smaller bike frame  ( I need a 48-50cm in case you see something) and will give him the frame I've been riding. He'll have to come up with the components.  He can already run forever, and is a mountain biking maniac (we call him the Wayniac) Ahhh to be 16 again.

Cheers!

Les 

Wow....  It's so fast I can't even see it!!!!

Can you host the file on photobucket or another hosting site, and then post it?  That is what I do.  But it really, it sounds fast!!!!!
