swbkrun Mentor Group II- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! (Page 45)

meh.. 2:03:01...Was on pace for breaking 2hrs, but legs wouldnt have it the last 5 miles or so.
But eye on the prize I guess. Its more about finishing Vegas strong.  I guess all the distance training with little speed training hurts your speed.

Michelle was 7 minutes faster than last year, so she was jacked!

Great races Tony/Linda/Sam!!!

PR!!! WOOT!!! AWESOME!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Congrats again to Tony, too! Zoom!

And WTG Linda on the podium and so close to your 2nd PR in a month! You are beyond amazing, and totally inspiring! (I did an "O-Terps-30" run this week and thought of you as I headed out... and I LOVED running that early!)

Good going, Trevor. Your legs are carrying a lot of fatigue right now. Be nice to them. They are carrying you so many miles. You are lucky to have them.

Happy Sunday evening to all! I'm starting to feel the Thanksgiving holiday that's on the horizon... really can't wait!! It's my favorite!

X2, same to Trevor and Michelle!  Great job guys!!!

Great job to all the racers: Linda, Tony, Sam, Trevor and Michelle! It was such a perfect day for running here, it was fun to think of all of you out there running your races!

WOW!!   Linda, Sam, Tony, Trevor & Michelle......

What a weekend!  Nice job to you all!

We're in an armed camp this weekend dealing with a real pain-in-the-tush teen that knows EVERYTHING (just ask him), but can't seem to finish his last college apps.  Lord help me, I still have one more kid to go.

At least the niners won!

Narrowing down the bike search, hoping to get the numbers from my fit by tomorrow.  Specialized, Scott, Orbea.....yeah!

awesome jobs there linda and trevor!

Must be the change in the weather....we were in lock-down also this weekend with a teen that knows more than the Good Lord himself...in fact, I am beginning to believe that she thinks she might be the Good Lord herself!!!     

And shes only a junior!  

I now know why Animals eat their young!

 

Nice to hear we aren't the only ones, despite what he yells at us!!   Good luck....

Wonderful job to all our runners this weekend.  TONY, SAM, LINDA, TREVOR, MICHELLE - CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!!!

Things were a mixed bag for my friend at B2B this weekend.  He has been fighting a chest cold for a while and it finally won the battle on Friday (race was Saturday).  But being the trooper he is, Paul started the race in 45 degree weather with a swim going against the current (race directors go that one wrong this year).  As we was walking back along the swim course we just happened to be at the spot where the medical jet ski dropped my friend off.  He was bright red in the face and looked like he was locked in a seated position.  His hip flexors and quads locked up on him half way through the swim.  Luckily we were right there and able to take care of him.  He was a good sport about it and we went back to the house and celebrated a great training season!!

The waves on the ocean side were crazy high.  We tried to go swimming the day before and ended up 1000 yards down the beach and never go one stroke in.  The whole time we were diving into 6 foot waves and dodging the surfers. It was a lot of fun.  Looking back and I am very proud of myself when it comes to ocean swimming.  A year ago I did a Pier to Pier 2 mile ocean swim and it was my first time in the ocean swimming - I was terrified.  But this weekend I saw those waves and thought, "cool, that looks like so much fun.  Lets go."  I've come a long way baby.

Excellent job Trevor!

NICE!! It's right there in your sights!

This is pretty sad...

A guy does a hit and run on a cyclist and apparently is getting lesser charges because he is wealthy!?!?!?!  WTF!  Since this is only one side to the story, I hope there is something else going on that wasn't reported here.

Just saw this...have to pass it on.  SwimOutlet has grab bag suits for super cheap!

It was nice to take a day off for recovery!  I had a massage today, something I rarely do, but mom gave it to me as a gift a year ago. 
I get so sore for a few days after a massage and I hope that does not happen this time. 
Anyone ever have issues with massage?

Linda

Great job on your race, Linda!  You are amazing.  Sorry, I haven't had a massage in over 5 years...so no help here, but just wanted to throw some additional kudos your way.  

you mean like waiting for std test results?  nope. 

Ha Ha, no not that....

John, you already hitting the Atlanta massage parlors?

I haven't.  What kind of massage?

Oh and finally back amongst the internet sitting crowd now, back at work : )

I had a sports massage this time, not too bad.

Linda
