cdban66 - 2012-04-25 3:01 PM Icing - found on the top of cupcakes or cake. YUMMY! /Rant On No touch icing is the hockey equivalent of the designated hitter in baseball. The game has been around for how long? And we have to change it now, why? And I am so done with the hockey talk (says the guy who lived in NY in 1994). For me hockey ceased to matter when I moved back to Florida. Because, really, hockey in Florida?!?! WTF! Wearing shorts to a hockey game is just wrong. /Rant Off Thanks, I feel better now. I'm going to ride the bike home today, I'll throw in the occasional interval.

In defense of hockey in Florida...hockey players technically wear shorts on the ice Smile 

In defense of Allen, you said that whoever had to EXPLAIN icing was the one who had to do intervals.

So, get started Laughing

Actually, I'm very familiar with hockey "icing" (also very familiar with the other kind, but that's why I'm a clyde) since I spent my early childhood in Calgary, AB Canada (Go Flames) and most of my life in DC (Go Caps!).

Not much of a sports fan in general though. Well, except during College Football season.  Then I go into hibernation.

Hockey talk in reply to Adrienne's question:

Let's go Caps!  Let's go Caps!

Their current AHL farm team, the Hershey Bears, is close to where I live, so we have partial-season (12 game because my hockey eats up too many weekends) season tickets to the Bears.  They play tonight, too, and like the Caps, if they lose tonight they are done.  So B-E-A-R-S Bears, Bears, Bears WOOOOOOOO!!!

Charleston Stingrays also a CAPS farm team, and I grew up with the CAPS. Oops OT just started back to the game

Oh Lordy, I'm English living in Australia - hockey was just an outdoor sport enforced upon us girls at high school in English winter - and we had to wear shorts, my legs were always a mottled purple colour!

So I know little or NOTHING about hockey....

Now soccer I might be able to participate better.....and Aussie Rules Football.....

I too love this mentor group!

Hi everyone! I have been MIA for almost a week I think! And along with my lack of posts, I've been lacking in training! Really fell off this week, no really good reason why. Not sick, not too busy...just bleh.  Hand in hand with that, my healthy eating initiative has fallen off.  So, I really need to my mojo-vation (haha, I just made that up - I like it!)  Unfortuantely (well, it's fun but...) I am going away Friday for a girl's weekend in Ithaca, NY with my college girlfriends. It's our annual reunion, we do dinner, wine tour, Collegetown Bagels...the works. It's fun, but there will be no exercise, lots of food and even more drink! (although 2 friends had the nerve to get knocked up right before wine weekend! Honestly, better planning please!) So...my goal is to get up tomorrow morning and try out a new swim group, since my coached swim is over until late fall/until OW season begins.  Then either spin or a jaunt on the 'mill after work. Then packing, then my friend and her dog come over (sorry kitties!) so that we can hit the road early Friday morning for Ithaca. 

Oh, and as of this coming Sunday, t-minus TWO WEEKS til my first triathlon!! Terrible time to lose focus on the training, ahhhh! Surprised (there's isn't a good "nervous" emoticon...)

Sounds like everyone else is doing great though! Nice work, especially to the racers!

Go have big fun this weekend, then on Monday give yourself a big slap up the side of the head and get something done cos you'll only have 10 training days as you won't want to train for the last couple of days before the big day.

OK,

I've had enough.

Anyone who even likes hockey, give me 30 minutes of intervals now.

And that includes the runner!

Ooooh, FOOTBALL. We are a football fanatics family (on both my mother AND father's sides, despite that they came from two completely different countries and cultures!) Then again, Germans and Indonesians being football fanatics is just about part of the definition ... the last time Indonesia played their archrival Malaysia, ALL AIR TRAFFIC stopped at the Jakarta airport (a major international airport for a greater city of 30 million!) and not an employee was to be seen ... everyone was watching the game. Women in red (for Indonesia) burkas were jumping up and down screaming alongside confused tourists in board shorts and straw hats.

I can count on one hand the times my dad and I have had father-daughter moments and two of them involve watching football and betting on the games. (I always, always lose. ALWAYS. To him, anyway).

That said ... GO BAYERN MUNICH! Einer geht noch rein!!!

Oh, dear. I have a busy day at work yesterday, and the group turns to hockey and soccer. I don't know much about either, except that my middle son loves to play soccer. I don't understand hockey. You can't even see how hot the guys are.

Now baseball . . . that I could sit and watch for hours.

Soooo . . . like I said above -- busy day yesterday. So I didn't get out for a run until 10:15 last night. It was wonderful. The only problem was that I was super psyched up when I got back, and at 1:30 a.m., I was still awake. :-(

90s here again yesterday -- we had to turn the air conditioning on last night. That's probably one reason I couldn't get to sleep. I'm sensitive about noise, and the fan seemed loud.

A cold front is moving in tonight, so I'm hoping our (my middle son's) math/bike ride doesn't get cancelled tomorrow. His class is doing a 12 mile bike ride, with checkpoints where they must solve math problems correctly before moving on. We are so excited.

As far as hotness ... you've never seen Salty in a hockey uniform! Yowza.

I *lovelovelove* baseball too ... I miss it terribly (though Indonesia does have a league and Bali's team's practice field is right around the corner! I've seen the ballpiglets all marching in ... ) but it's not pro and it is, confessedly, pretty awful. And no hotdogs!

Fell in love with baseball that magical magical Moneyball summer when I was working in South San Francisco but couldn't afford Giants games ... so I went to dollar-tix-dogs-beer nights at the Oakland A's.

That sounds like a super ride of your son's! Hope it pans out ...

Thanks Allen! I know, this was a bad time to lose focus, my race is soooo close!! But, it's a short swim (250m), and I know I'll be ok with the 10 mile bike, and then I'll just have to grind out 5K.  As long as I don't go out too hard too fast, I  think I'll make it. I haven't practiced any transitions though...did you do any before the big race?

Just signed the kiddo up for his first triathlon.  I am so dang excited.  He'll swim 50 yards, ride 2 miles and run 1/2 mile.  Pretty sure I'm more excited about this than I was my first triatholon! 

Had a great ride last night with the girls.  Lots of hills and wind.  Great workout.

1. Oh boy, this is so true! I think it's because in my hockey uniform you can only see my eyes, and I think they happen to be my best feature Wink

2. I don't like baseball very much. I mean, other than the garlic fries and emphasis on hot dogs and beer. I am trying this year though. Games are cheap and accessible so I'm doing my best. I might even buy a shirt. Goooo Mariners! 

3. I second (or is it third?) how cool it is that a school is incorporating education and physical activity. Bravo! This made my day.

Excellent on the kid's triathlon. My middle one (he's 11) is doing one as well, in August. I'm doing the Salty Dog and he's doing the Salty Pup. His is 100m swim; 5 mile bike; 1 mile run. He's excited, but he's not training. I'm not too worried about him, though. He's taking private swimming lessons beginning next Thursday (and he already swims better than I do, which, granted, is not saying much); summer's coming, and he'll be biking all over the place; and his running is a beautiful thing to see. At his track meet last week, even my oldest, cynical son, gasped when he saw Ben run. It's amazing.

Great attitude about the hills and wind. I don't always have that great of an attitude about wind.
