PirateGirl's Group - FULL (Page 4)

Just curious what everyone has planned for their A, B, and C races so far. Or if you're not done planning, that's ok too. I seem to always be adding races when I hear about fun ones to do.

Here's what I've got so far:

• PF Chang's 1/2 marathon, Tempe, AZ - 1/14/07 (C)
• 24 Hrs in the Old Pueblo MTB relay race, Oracle, AZ - 2/17-2/18/07 (B)
• Ragnar Relay del Sol 192 mile run relay, Wickenburg to Scottsdale, AZ - 3/30-3/31/07 (C)
• Ironman Arizona, Tempe, AZ - 4/15/07 (A+)
• Tucson Summer Aquathlon Series, Tucson, AZ - 5/07 - 7/07 (C) 
• Deuces Wild Oly & Xterra, Show Low, AZ - 6/2-6/3/07 (B)
• Soul Ride 100 mile MTB race, Oracle, AZ - 10/07 (A)
• Blue Water Oly Tri, Parker, AZ - 11/11/07 (B)
  

Break out those race calendars and let's see what you've been planning.

 WOW!  Two marathons in one year!  Go me!

Wow...everyone has some really cool races planned!

Last week went well for me. My quads are still screaming sore right now, so I've decided to push my running workouts to later in the week and try to rest the legs. I swam easy last night just to try to help with the soreness. But going up stairs and getting up from a seating position is still torture right now!

Got a couple of big bike rides planned for this weekend. Saturday is a ride on the race course for the 24 hour mountain bike race with the team, then Sunday is a 4 hr road ride to practice my nutrition.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Just curious...what do you play? My husband loves to play guitar, bass, banjo, and the drums. I, however, am musically disinclined.

SO hard. Aside from myself, I was worried about letting my donors down, my teammates, my friends and family that had been bragging about me, etc. But I had a lot of talks with them over the last couple of weeks and they are super supportive. I really wanted this desperately, but I had to admit sooner, rather than later, that this year is just too soon for this kind of commitment.

Thank you for making me feel welcome!

Don't be silly...just because your goals changed doesn't mean you have to leave the group. You're not going to get rid of us that easy.

I know it was a hard decision, but ya gotta do what's right for you. And you learned that '08 would be a better year for the IM. So it just means you have all that much more time to research, train, prepare, etc. It's cool that all your friends and family were excited, and I'm sure they'll be just as excited next year too. It's great to have a cheering section like that!

Awesome! Have ya signed up yet? With your winter plan you'll be going into the Oly training plan strong. You're going to kick butt in that Oly!

Re: the heat. Have you tried salt tabs? In the extreme heat down here they really make a difference.
