OK PEEPS! I reached my goal and even a little bit more! Rode 70 min on the trainer with Coach Troy this evening, after running! I will update the spreadsheet right away.

Here are a couple of pix from my final March ride!

Do you have a TV in your garage?

Hey Julie,

Your log shows you as 3 miles short of your goal. Are there some spinning miles missing?

Update on the 'white shorts'... sorry girls... Sue reminded me that the British 'winter' although officially over teh MEt office usually take a little time to actually take this on board... it'll prolly stop raining about October... I went for black robaix lined bib-3/4ters instead... next time eh? 



ahhhh, you get our hopes all up, then you go with the black.
nice job with filling the whole page by yourself though, that
was impressive!!

I put our portable DVD player in there with all my spinervals DVDs to 'entertain' me!  At one point my two kids and my mother-in-law were in there riding trikes and playing "baseball", so it was sort of insane.  And hubby was cleaning the garage around me, asking where to put this or that.  Talk about multitasking! But I stuck to the workout.

great work Leslie! one question.. the MIL was she riding the trikes or playing baseball???

She was mostly not doing her job very well of keeping the kids away from my fast-spinning, finger-chopping-off back wheel!!!!!  Finallly I BELLOWED at them all and they left.  It wasn't pretty but I got some peace!

Lyssa, I am constantly interrupted in everything I do--it's my main frustration and I blog about that more than anything!

Girl Passing on Left - 2008-03-30 7:36 PM Leslie...hope you are riding to get your miles....we can use the 100% from you! go get em tiger....RIDE....RIDE....RIDE!!! we need you to have more T.I.T.S. - even though after some of our team discussions we know you do not need bigger . go LESLIE GO!!!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!  Hopefully my Tri-T.I.T.S. will grow while the others shrink! 

Mine didnt hope you have better luck! mine are just not as perky as they used to be! is that TIM!?!

As far as I can tell, this board has not used the TMI card thus far!  I am sure you will be getting requests to post pictures for proof pretty soon! 

I just have to say, regarding Lynne, that she did try hard, and life got in the way this month.  I talked to her a lot and she always had the best of intentions regarding biking, and felt pretty sad that she was not doing the 100%.  I have been the victim of life getting in the way of training many times, and I just want to give her some props for trying, despite lots of roadblocks. She's an awesome person and did not intentionally not meet her goal.  Hopefully for all of us doing the next challenge(s), it will give us the ability to really inspire those who are struggling to get it done, and also push ourselves a little harder in those moments.  (Off soapbox now)

You guys have been such fun.  I am really going to miss my peeps.  I will try to inspire and check in on you all this season, if we aren't on the April challenge together, that is.  Feel free to add me to your friends list if'n ya want.  I couldn't have met my goal without your inspiration, motivation, nagging and butt kicking!  It was also a total riot to get to know you guys!!!!  PEEP JOUSTERS< yay!!

 

I thionk that with this bunch off peeps you really need to go some to get TMI... ha!

EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU WILL STAY IN MY FRIENDS COLUMN!! I WILL TRY TO INSPIRE ON A WEEKLY BASIS IF NOT MORE!!! Hey that can be a new challenge....who inspires the most! Thanks to all of you who gave me the added kicks I needed....especially when I got all down in the dumps when my pops was not doing well. THANKS to all of you who sent special thoughts and prayers...have not called home today, but he has been getting on my moms stationary bike and riding it! Hey he can join our next bike challenge!!!

I hope that you will all keep me in your friends list and that you will stop by and visit on occasion....like every day! have a great day....and PLEASE kit! you guys rock no matter where we finish!!!! you are all FIRST CLASS TRIATHLETES in my eyes...and I am honored to know each and everyone of you! thanks for all the great laughs and the encouragement! ONCE A JOUSTER....ALWAYS A JOUSTER! now go and reach all those short term and long term goals!

I am still planning on a ride today...want to get to that 120% mark...maybe.....JUST MAYBE...Cat will throw in some added percentage like in the past months! fingers/toes crossed!

KISSES TO ALL OF YOU!!!!!! KIU!!!!

I'm not counting on Cat adding any percentages. That seems to be more of a Beth and Dee thing. It has been a fun month cycling with all of you.

what about Lynne....she is not on this list.

If ya can't say anything good...

I can say all kind of good things...where to start....

She has a really nice new hair cut....

She bought lots of great swim suits

She loves to eat Peeps....

She is going on a long trip to Scotland and is going to have a good time.....plus plus plus

but still wondering why her name is not on the list.....she is part of the team to the end.

Did I strike a wrong chord...or is it me being sensy?!?! ;(

I'm being a bit b!tchy because I feel she gave up on us.

 

Well I sort of expected this, especially from you. Seems I have obviously rubbed you the wrong way at some point. Probably round about Superbowl time. I do believe these challenges to be more of a fun thing and a good way to be and get motivated and usually when life and other issues get in the way it really can't be helped. I certainly did not "Give up" on the challenge as you clearly see from the past couple of my posts I feel rather bad about not making my goal but if you see it as "giving up" then I guess that's your problem. Don't worry Nicole. I will see fit to ask not to be included in any team challenges you are in in the upcoming months. Still, it is rather charming you see me this way when I've done well in other challenges. Excuse me while I spend the rest of day flying and rolling my eyes occasionally. I really don't need see the need for your comment however as not everyone made their goal. Not very good for our "Team Captain". Sheesh. That's all I finish with.

Lynne,

Have you thought about asking to have your goal changed because of being ill? Cat changed her goal due to illness, so I think you could ask for this also.

I'd rather take the hit. I didn't complete it and we all know that. But I think those comments were bang out of order.   Does she not believe me or something?  I don't get it. If it helps taking me out, take me out. It's just a peeps avatar for good sakes. Turn your wheels into peeps.  I mean really.

It is a bummer seeing things fall apart like this.

Have a safe trip and enjoy Scotland. I hear that Scotland has lots of ghosts to go along with those castles. Do you think there may be any Peep ghosts? If so, they may come and haunt you. LOL

come on girls...lets not go there! we are bigger then this!

I am with Kendra....Lynne have you asked Cat about reducing your hours since you have been ill? I had to do this one month too! so how about an email to Cat! and have a good trip...I think that we all need to realize that we are all in these challenges for different reasons...and we have many personalities...some that will end up clashing...and we all have to remember that some of us are very VERY competitive and others are here to get the kick we need to get going...no matter what reasons we are doing these challenges, there will be times we will SOAR and other times when we will not make our goals! we have to realize that even though, it seems that someone may not be trying as much as you think they should, we all have those days that sometime lead to weeks of no-motivation feeling! I had one this month and actually stepped down from captain. I think Nicole has done a great job stepping in for me....I do not agree with her comment, but I know I too have made a few that I would like to take back....so, girls come on...KISS AND MAKE UP!!  come on!!!!  I know you can do it!!!! 

Lynne please contact Cat.....all she can say is no...and you would be helping your team! so what you say!?!

I've PM'd Cat. I'd prefer to be removed from the challenge altogether than just to please someone who obviously doesn't like me.  I mean why bother? I inspired everyone on this team, even Nicole and never heard anything back. She ignored my posts too so in the end forget it. I'm sorry but if she feels that way then I'd rather not be included at all.

 

I doubt I will ever do a challenge again. This is really the last thing you need during a stressful time. Sorry folks, I mean no offence to anyone else as you all did great. But 40% just obviously doesn't cut the *good* list.

 

You are all still on my friends list and will still be harassed by me, so don't worry there.

Um guys.... It's a challenge.

It's meant to motivate people to train. It's meant to be fun, and allow you to meet other BTers.

Yes, it's meant to be a competition, but face it --> Life does get in the way sometimes. We'd all love to hit our goals, but goals are meant to be a "reach," and sometimes we just don't get there each time.

That said, Lynne - if you've been sick and unable to train, have you asked Cat about adjusting your goal? She IS allowing goal adjustments due to illness and/or injury.

I've PM'd Cat.



Lynne,

How many days did you miss due to illness?

Subtract that number from 31. Divide that number by 31. Recalculate your goal as that percentage.

For example, if you missed 5 days due to illness:
(31 - 5) = 26
26 / 31 = 0.839
(Original goal x 0.839) = Adjusted goal

I am sure that Cat will be OK with your doing this. She has allowed it for other participants in the challenge.

We don't want you pushing yourself if you are ill or injured!
