Milaminute and Sparco's Group - Closed (Page 45)

Thanks Cash, good to know.  I just ordered my first road bike.  Got in on a good deal, here is the link  http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=106063&start=1  I ordered the Garda.  Should be delivered in 5 business days, then to the LBS for final assembly and tune up.  I may be riding by the end of next week, we'll see. 

Here is a link to the details.  Honestly, I don't know what 1/2 of it means, but it was a great price nonetheless.    http://www.bmr-bicycles.com.au/bikes/javelin.pdf

Ohhhh... that's hottt.  New bikes make me purrrr .

Oh, hi.  Yes, yes, I am alive and well.  The tri is over and now I can have some of my life back!

Pictures are here.

Glad to see you're back.    It has been quiet this week, where is everybody?

COngrats on your Indoor Tri - that looks pretty cool!!!  I tell you what though - when GyGy and I were running our mock tri at the Y the other day....my T1 was horrible!!  LOL...but..nothin compared to the my T1 at my 1st Tri outside this month...it was raining and cold!!!and all my gear was soaked!!  ....but anyways!!  Love the pic's!!!

Cheers!

I think you need to be an honorary member of the group...you know, to replace the few folks in the group we've never heard from again (we must have a reputation)...any friend husband of GyGy's is a husband friend of ours...

Congrats on the new bike!

(Read about Rusty's last race here)

Be forewarned, it's a long, I mean detailed, report. 

Thanks Cash! - yep- it was a good race - tough at the end ...but I was so close I just sucked it up and pressed on.  I hear ya about being spoiled by the Cali weather..what part are you in N or S. Cali....I have had a few trips out there in Nor Cal...loved it and the weather was awesome!!  I remember walkin across the GG bridge over into Marin County and watched the bikers climb those hills along the hills/cliff's over there..your talkin some serious hill climbin man!!  Charleston is a great city - lot's of southern charm and history there....and yep..those southern ladies will make you pause....I know..I married one!  I am not from Charleston though,...close..I am from Wilmington,NC...so..just drive along the coast north of Charleston.  But  - back to Cali - I stayed out in Sacamento for about a month back in 2002 - drove to Tahoe and San Fran.....then on my last visit I stayed in San Fran...amazing city..so much to see and do...drove up the coast on PCH 1 and checked out SAnta Cruz and Half Moon Bay...sweet surf!! and the views are to die for!!

Later

Thanks, Rusty!  It was a lot of fun and it was very cool that it all came together exactly as I had envisioned it.  The participants had a set amount of time to transition.  The first one was REALLY long... enough time to dry off and change... but we still had people lose time on the bike.  Why?  Because they actually took showers.  Showers?  Helllooooooo... you are going to be sweating on a bike and run... suck it up and smell like chlorine .

Mmmmm hmmmmmm  .

It's a Bewitched reference.  He's known me for a very long time and believes that I have a mischevious smile and that I'm often up to no good.  I enjoy wiggling my nose at him from time to time just to make him bust out laughing.  Usually when he's trying to focus on some boring conversation and I place myself in his line of sight.

Well it is Club Med, right?  LOL  Be glad they weren't heading to the margarita bar. 

We are heading into another cold spell with rain this week.  I'm heading to the beach with my best friend this weekend, and it is supposed to warm up, it better, this is my annual vacation away from "mom duties."    You better hide those newtons a little better next time. 

Good point!!!  We don't have a bar at our Club Med but trust me, there are CMs that have 'em!

I hear ya!  I can't resist mine either.  I should, but I just never can!  Sorry about your back.  You should be unmotivated right now... you need to let your body recover.  NO TRAINING until you are no longer walking like a blue hair .

And no butt crack show?  Heh...thanks for the money-saving tips Cash...

WORD.

Got my 1st bike commute of the season in...bike commuting is the only way I'll be able to get some of my LONG HIM rides in...3 hours and 45 min on Friday...seesh!
