Ghoulie September Core Challenge (Page 49)

deehtz - 2010-09-21 10:08 PM This was my first OWS tri.  The swim went pretty well.  The water was very pleasant temperature. a little faster than I had estimated so I was pleased with that!

The bike had 2% & 3% grade hills that I was not expecting!  Had to walk the bike near the top of a few.  Crud. But the downhill was straight so I could let it fly! (well at least fly for me, I think my max was 33 mph).  The bike was a little slower than I wanted but I was not prepared at all for those hills.

The run (jog) was not what I had wanted.  The bike hills had beat me up, so my jog pace was about 30 seconds/mile slower than I had planned.  Oh well.

My total time wound up being about what I had estimated overall.  What is funny is that I won a medal.  1st in my AG --  of course I was the only female over 50, so I was the only one in my AG --  LOL    lots of fun anyway and very nice people!

mndymond - 2010-09-21 11:12 PM Hey ghouls! One last check in before I go to bed. (Well I'm in bed...so sleep.) Got home from practice...only 3050 today...but there was a good amount of sprint work. BNB. Haha. My shoulders and lats are a tad angry right now. Got home...scarfed down dinner and now I am in bed...need to recover for tomorrow!

ceilidh - 2010-09-22 6:35 AM Hi Bill.

Send that rain here. We are losing trees and bushes here. I lost some azaleas that Jim's grandmother planted. They are a variety you can't get these days.

Dang.

Need a Ghoulie rain dance again!

A well-deserved nothing. You put it all out there.  Are you going to frame your finisher's medal? When you get around to taking it off, I mean. 

disturbed275 - 2010-09-22 7:45 AM

What?  I'm supposed to take it off at some point?

Maybe I can get it made into a belt buckle so I don't feel as weird wearing it around wherever I go

wgraves7582 - 2010-09-22 8:02 AM Morning Nekkid - Any new job opps??

Morning Robin - Rain Dance completed

Morning Neal - Nah just take the medal off during swim workouts - it might create more drag

I keep sending out resumes, but haven't heard anything yet. I am waiting for a contract to be awarded sometime in the near future. A company bid my resume for one of the jobs, if they get it I'll get out of here and get to work a little closer to home. I have my fingers crossed for that one right now.

ceilidh - 2010-09-22 8:13 AM

I am crossing my fingers for you while I do my rain dance.

ironannekidd - 2010-09-22 8:16 AM

I think my rain dance would be more effective if I did it from home and then took a nap immediately afterward. I should go test that theory.

mndymond - 2010-09-22 8:27 AM Morning! Ah...*yawn*..Ann- I know...only 3050m...i must say though I am feeling those 3050 more than mon 3450...haha...ughhhh...Robin--I don't know if its energy so much as guilt if I don't follow my pre-made in my head weekly schedule...but I actually havent been feeling too run down as of late--although this guy in my class keeps telling me "don't forget to eat...you are going to waste away"...even though I am definately not wasting away...so ya? He has said it like 3x to me...once at a party and we were drunk, once last week and yesterday in a discussion about training with this other guy...

ironannekidd - 2010-09-22 8:29 AM

Let me help you with this

Guy in class: Melindy you need to eat so you don't waste away.

Melindy to guy: Why don't you take me out to dinner so you can make sure I'm properly satisfied.

See how that works?

That line would also work on Neal, too.
