June Bugs (Page 4)

Kim,

According to the spreadsheet your goal is 600hrs of running. Since there are only 720 hours in the whole month of June I'm guessing this is wrong When you get a chance could you please fix it?

Thanks, Nicole

At my Tour de Cure ride last year they had Nuun at all the rest stop; I didn't like it and don't think I heard a single good thing said about it. However, Kristen/enders_shadow swears by it.

I've used it a few years and I really like it.  Some of the flavors are much better than others and a lot of it is personal preference.  I love the TriBerry, Kristen is a big fan of the cola.  Cola makes me kind of sick.

The problem with Nuun is that you don't really get calories from it so you do have to make sure you are eating food in addition to drinking it.  It's largely just electrolytes and flavor.

Yeah, the Nuun is sweetened with Splenda I think; that's why the diabetes ride used it.

Doh'  I was so excited about Nuun - I have tried it before...and it was ok.  And I don't really need the calories...I would almost prefer no calories!  But I am trying to go off of artificial sweeteners for a while

BbMoozer - 2009-05-31 10:14 PM Holy Guacamole! You guys have been busy and it ain't even June yet!

I like "June Bugs" for a name.

I'm Sarah, need to run more...looking to go further, faster ... if not this month (at least the faster)...some day
Goal is 50 miles

I talked to the Nuun guys trying to get them to make an unflavored version that you could add to your favorite drink but I guess they didn't go for my idea.

You can buy various electrolyte powders. I use the Hammer brand and add it to cranberry juice. I've tried it in plain water but it tastes a bit nasty, kinda like swamp water.

kimk - 2009-06-01 12:15 PM As for captain I x3or what ever we are on for Jen!
The name.....I'm good with junebugs but I will add that big bug on pg one is a bit creepy!

D001 - 2009-06-01 10:29 AM Good morning, Challenge Participants! It's JUNE, and the challenge has officially begun! (Although many of you are already well underway with the secondary challenge aka the "post padding challenge.") ... Dee

sparco - 2009-06-01 1:47 PM 'ternoon Team 2 (or the June bugs and such).

I'm Sal, a 4 year veteran on BT.  44, married with 3 kids.  I've been away from the social aspects of BT for about a year, but have continued racing.  Just trying to make sure I was employable during the 'recession.'  We've had a good year despite, so work has calmed down a bit.

Thought I'd get back on the challenge scene.  Finished 2 half marathons this season with poor training, and I have a half Ironman distance race in 2-weeks which I am somewhat underprepared for.

I NEED the motivation!  It was a busy May--daughter qualified for state, daughter and son starting soccer tournaments.  It's time to put some energy back into consistent training.  Hopefully the reminders from the team will keep me motivated.

Sounds like we have a great team!

enders_shadow - 2009-06-01 1:23 PM This one is kinda cute.

BbMoozer - 2009-06-01 3:06 PM Hey...what's up with the spreadsheet?!?!? I logged my run but it didnt carry over to the percentage. Or do I have to compute that myself?

enders_shadow - 2009-06-01 2:23 PM This one is kinda cute.
