Team 3 - June Challenge (Page 5)

tri808 - 2010-06-05 2:48 AM Finished my swimming intervals tonight.  I wanted to quit so bad...but as they say...when you aren't training (or training hard), there's someone out there right now that is.

Ended up averaging about 1:34 for my 10x100's @ 2 minute send offs and averaging 0:47 for my 10x50's @ 1 minute send offs.  I've done better with the 50's before, but the 100's were the fastest I've done, and I did it on less rest.  Last week I averaged about 1:36 while sending off @ 2:10.  So there is some progress.

I must admit...Satan himself must have invented swimming intervals...but I have gotten so much faster doing them.  I guess it's like selling your soul to the devil...LOL

wgraves7582 - 2010-06-05 12:53 PM Howdy from Jackson, AL.  It has been a hot and humid 2 days and avg about 70 miles each day so far.

Just wanted to say hi from the road!

tri808 - 2010-06-05 8:05 PM might need to adjust my goals this month.  Crashed on the bike today after running over a good sized branch (effectively it was like running over the barrel of a baseball bat) hammering 25 mph down a flat.  Couldn't see it coming with the 2 riders in front of me narrowly missing it and went over the bars.

Not sure how...but I only have some road rash on my left arm.  My shoulder is completely fine, and didn't hit my head.  My bike is actually fine too.  Lost an end cap on my brakes, but that's it...the bike ended up getting tangled in my legs so it didn't go flying.

Swimming might be totally out of the question for a couple weeks as one of the scrapes is fairly deep, and the thought of showering a couple extra times after working out just doesn't sound fun in the next few days.

I can't complain though...if you told me the circumstances, I would have guessed a separated shouder, broken collar bone, and a concussion.

tri808 - 2010-06-06 1:09 PM muscles are a little sore today, but nothing major.  My neck is a little tight, but I think that's more to do with the fact I couldn't sleep in a comfortable position.  My shoulder is also tight, but no pain in the joint or bones.  I think I also strained my left calf...must have tweaked it when the bike got stuck in my legs.

But again...nothing major.  If I'm not doing some form of training by Friday I would be very dissapointed in myself.  Now the problem is to control me eating somehow.

I PM'd Dee...so all my goals are going to need to be readjusted

Oye!  I ran a 2 mile women's race today.  I pushed baby in the stroller.  We finished in 15:41.  That hurt!  I got 2nd in the stroller division and 11th of 231 ladies!  Whew!

MDHillSlug - 2010-06-06 3:43 PM I did 64 miles of riding today as part of the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure. I rained, it was cool, but it could have been a lot worse. So far I've raised $1500 but I'm still taking donations. Could you help? Thanks!
