Experior's Group - CLOSED (Page 46)

TriGuyBri - 2010-04-05 10:35 PM OK...I almost didn't want to post this as I read the other previous comments.  But I am pretty hyped up right now.  I didn;'t swim my 1600 full swim (actually it was a 300 warm-up, 1000 yd main set and 300 cool down) as the pool was closed for easter.  I decided to swim this afternoon prior to my son's baseball practice.  What I decided to do, given my decision to do the Olympic distance tri in June was to see where I was at with a mile swim.  So I did a TT and swam a straight 1800 in 29.04 which comes out to be a 1:37/100 yds.  This is about 7 sec. per 100 yds. (1:44/100 yds) faster than my Sprint Tri swim time last year.  The Olympic distance is about double the Sprint Distance in June so I know I can do the distance and in a pretty respectful time as I looked at some of the other times.  Not sure how it will impact my bike and rum,but we'll see.

I also found a local Sprint Tri just down the road twenty miles that takes place on Sunday, April 18th that I may compete in.  It fits well into my schedule given my son's games are on Saturday. 

slow turtle - 2010-04-05 7:16 PM Funny story...
This weekend I was getting ready for 17 people to come have easter dinner at my house. I was moving a bunch of stuff around, and my daughters 30lb bike fell down on my foot. To be exact, the kickstand landed square on one of my toes. The nurse that I work with looked at it today, and declared that it's broken. Yep, same foot that is already injured. At least I feel justified in feeling like it's been throbbing and painful for the past 2 days!

Okay, it's not really a funny story. But, at this point, if I don't laugh, I might cry.

On a random side note:  I placed an order with Aevero recently and they sent me a size small cycling jersey as a bonus.  It does not fit me (nay, it would be downright vulgar if I tried to squeeze into it)...anyone want it?  First dibs going to Experiorites.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm sure if you send Brent at Aevero an em, he'd send out a medium to you along with a return envelope for the small...

TriGuyBri - 2010-04-07 12:07 AM I see that the Mentor group for Spring has expired.  Are we going to continue through the next phase?  I'd like to.

Oh, and I should have added:  You all have been awesome.  I've really enjoyed doing this mentor group thing.  I don't really consider myself to be a 'mentor', but I have loved responding to questions as best I can, and seeing others' responses.  And here's the thing that honestly I didn't expect (never having done this before):  I got a LOT of motivation from this group.  This might sound a bit weird, but there were times when thinking about the group got me through a workout.  So thanks.
