BbMoozer - 2009-07-15 7:57 PM Hey Team...anyone else out there hoping Armstrong pulls off another win?!?!? Go Lance!!!

Anyhow...I gotta ride in tonight inside. I certainly have my interval training in need some endurance though...maybe this weekend.

I'm pulling for Lance.  In spite of being on a French Team in the TdF!  :-)



Me! I haven't been a big fan of cycling in the past and i don't particularly love Lance but i really do hope he wins! It would be just great!

Anyway, I got my 6th of 9 stages in.  This summer feels jam-packed and I am so very tired! It should be nice this weekend as I am taking my dad to see the blue jays play the red sox for father's day - this was his gift... he picked the day.

Go Red Sox
I used to live in RI/MA so I enjoyed those games at Fenway.

Yeah! GO Sox!

Finally got stage 5 in this afternoon. 19.29 miles in 1:12. Half way there with a week to go. Need to kick it up a notch to get finished but should be a good week next week. Looking to get a long ride in tomorrow, we'll see how that works out

So have at least one racer this weekend (have a great time w) what's everyone else up to for the weekend?

I have a two hour ride scheduled. which I might do on the trainer tomorrow - will just be easier to be at home given that I have my out of towners (family) coming - and I can watch some of my netflix videos. Outside would be better but I just don't see it happening.

stage 6 done, only 16.87 miles. About all I could muster riding a second straight day in 30 mph winds. Need to get some sleep and hope the wind dies down this weekend

sorry for lack of inspiration teamies. work got a bit hairy on thursday (see my blog) and then yesterday (also see blog) and my bike has been poorly. a new back wheel has helped. just gotta ride the damned thing now! off to asda tomorrow and might even take my road bike out for a treat

sounds like we are all doing amazingly, so good on you! btw go sox went to fenway with dk and kathyg when i came to boston. fenway and boston beer works = heaven

btw - not gunning for lance. maybe it's a european thing but go cav in green. think next saturday should be hilarious. astana are so going to implode, which should be fun to watch.

Got in my 7th stage today while watching the Tour. The end was pretty exciting! And a great way to pass the time on the trainer!

Had fun at the game with my dad and sister - the Jays' won - yeah - (but not the night before :S) and it was nice because we were sitting around a ton of Sox fans ... weird, being in Toronto and all. And then we went to Wayne Gretzsky's restaurant which i knew my dad would love because he's a total hockey nut ... should mention that my family live about two hours from Toronto so all these things are a big treat!

I am done. Met my challenge goals with a 71-mile ride this morning. We lucked out and had great weather. Much cooler and less humid. Very good ride for me.

superb kvesey. putting us all to shame! i did a 30 minute trainer ride which got me to 71% of my total. so not too bad after last week's hell.

the red no logos have overtaken us blue logos though so boo hiss! but overall as a team we are doing great. we should all be gunning for about 74% by now so if you aren't and you need any encouragement or help just holler. let's kick some a$$ peeps!

Great job team! You guys are rockin'!
I swear I'll meet my goal...just may be last minute, one of those 'whew' type finishes
Had hoped to ride today but kiddo was crabby, hubby was not keen on time alone with the screamin' meaney kid either
Don't fear! I won't let the team down.

Well... if you give me a 2 minute handicap for the heat, I was right there with some of my better 5K times.  But the heat and humidity just sucked it out of me!   Oh well, there's always another race...

Yeah you get big points for racing in the heat!! I'd need more than two minutes even in a 5k. I did a half marathon that was crazy hot and it's more than 10 minutes slower than any other half i've done. I just felt like garbage the whole time. So way to go on getting out there!!

I just have one more stage to go and i've completed my tour. YAY! I've been getting a lot of trainer time but it's the easiest thing to do with busy work schedules and all these days of double workouts.
