TriAya's Group: SHUT like dog on steak, sorry! (Page 48)

CLIPLESS! SUPER GOOD LUCK!!!

You'll probably have beginner's luck, so don't worry about it. And if ya fall, ya fall, post pics of the aftermath.

Ugh. So much for losing a Challenge!!! (I don't even know who the Patriots are or what state they play for, etc.)

WTG Terri!

We are very proud of you

I'm starting to feel human again - thank goodness

My boss did the nicest thing for me - you can check out my blog for details if you'd like

I will probably not be doing any training for a few more days - I need to make sure this nasty crud goes away completely!

Although that means we lose one of our precious vacation hours in Disneyland.  Oh well, their schedules will be messed up anyway....

I got my Team Javelin uniform today, and also a major haircut.  Some pix in my album of that but here's one of me and my mini-teammates (TJ sent shirts for the boys).  I had an amazing day of scheduling insanity but managed not only a 90 min (25 mile) ride but a 1 mile swim!  And a haircut.  Yes, a good, long day. Here's the pic. (Yes, Spencer likes big boobs).

Wow! You are amazing! I don't remember the last time I got up early in the morning to work out ... and it's so wonderful to hear that your workouts are invigorating you. 

Wow, you sound very positive!  I know if I work out in the morning it makes the rest of the day fly by with ease instead of wondering when I will find the time to work out! However, I don't do it as early as you do!!  I need to go pick up my replacement running shoes later on although I won't be able to use them until next week sometime.  I had a great run this morning--I did a mile in 7:50 but then I slowed myself down....it was my long run and I may have passed out to keep that pace up....but it's progress, and I have a new goal of a 7-min mile by the end of tri season!

woo hoo

  x2!  don't worry - your secret is safe with us!

Leslie, you look radiant and what wonderful boys!!! Take after mum they do. I am thinking of you and wishing you joyous and safe times in Disneyland!!!

I'm off for the longest ride of my life. I'm trying to think of it as my own personal Disneyland (I'm even bringing a camera) and adventure! 

go Shawn!

Hey all!  Sorry no time to catchup tonight, but I wanted to at least drop by quickly.  Hope you are all doing well . . . I will get in here tomorrow to read one way or another!!!

I have  a rest day tomorrow, so I'm going to head to the LBS and test drive some bikes!  I think I am going to have to stick with my original plan to do my first tri in Texas on Apr 13 . . . so I need a bike to start practicing with!!

Not much else going on here . . . FROZE my butt off today (no, not literally, I wish!) trying to do a long ride at 35 degrees . . . swamped at work and trying to keep up on training . . . that is all!

TTYL!

Congrats, Shawn! It is awesome to see your progress ... longest ride ever is a GREAT JOB no matter how far. Two hours is a beast ... like you.

Okay, I suck...I've been gone for so long, but the dissertation was KILLING me and something had to be cut from my ridiculously busy life.  Unfortunately it was posting here.

Well, the final dissertation draft was turned in this morning, so I'M BAAAAAACK!!!!  I hope you will take me back since I've been MIA for so long!

Guess what?  I've got my FIRST triathlon THIS WEEKEND!!!!!  I am scared shitless.  I am especially terrified by the bike.  I feel really confident with the swim and the run.  I won't be fast, but I won't be embarrasingly slow.  I just haven't had time to get out on the 'real' bike and have never ridden it as long as I will need to this weekend (I have on the trainer and on a stationary, just not on the road).  There is nowhere around here to ride, so when I go on the road it's a lot of stopping and starting. 

 Any advice from you more experienced triathloners?  What do you wear?  I am especially worried about this while riding the bike wet from the swim.
