Extreme Veteran  2098   Alberta |  Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - OpenManaged to squeeze in a great bike last night before my son's lacrosse practice.

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open Originally posted by jlangene Just thought I better check in, hope everyone's week went well and you get to enjoy the holiday weekend, please don't forget what it is all about. I'm getting up and ready to go work in the field all weekend hoping we have lots of visitors and everyone stays safe. I got in 2 runs and 2 bikes this week so far missed 1 bike. Hoping to get in some swims next week now that the pool at the Elks is open. My rush fit videos were supposed to come in today but I noticed the tracking number they gave me shows them being delivered to Pennsylvania?!?! Hopefully they just sent me the wrong number and they will come in soon. I'll check in again after the busy weekend. Jared - You had a great week! Keep up the hard work and thanks for your service. |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open I just finished my last long run before the Quassy HIM next sunday. I ran 9 painfree (blessedly) miles averaging 13 minutes per mile (as a way of avoiding injury, I run 5 walk 3). I so happy by this. I ran out of gas by the end so I will have to go slower during the race - but I did it without any pain! It was my longest run since November 2012! As always - thanks to everyone for their support! I would not have made it without you! |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open Time to check in on those goals. How is everyone doing? Take a moment to cut and paste your goal into a post and let us know how you're doing and what action you are going to take to achieve your goals this weekend if you haven't already accomplished them. DQ - 1) Pack for Rev3 - will do this weekend 2) Practice transitions - will need to do this weekend 3) Create a plan for rev3 - I'm going to do it this afternoon 4) Ice everyday - doing it as I write. 5) Lose 2 pounds - Done. Hit 192. Next week, I want to break into the 180's |

Managed the 3 bikes, 2 runs and 1 swim so far. Will add an extra bike tomorrow and a swim Sunday. Run...we will see. Did continue to have success on weight loss. This week. Pretty much the same as last except increase mileage for all three slightly. So

Extreme Veteran 968 Cape Coral, FL | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open Today was the first day I rode with my tri team. It all started out fine and dandy as we were all going along with the wind to our backs at 20+ mph. At the turn around the group started to splinter. Next thing I know there is only 6 of us left out of 31 and we were flying along at 22+. I actually took my first ever pull while riding in a group. Granted at that speed it wasn't for long but I still did my part. No idea how I got into the fast group but I was always told if you want to get faster ride with people that are faster than you. We ended with 40 miles in the books. Looks like this will be an every Saturday thing for me now. My Garmin said 18.51 avg mph but that included the 10 minutes we stopped and the warm up/cool down.

Veteran 267 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open This week has been a forced recovery/rest week for me. I've been out of the country all week in Amsterdam and Spain, on business. On my way home now, finally, but stuck in Atlanta airport for the next 4 hours. Anxious to hit it hard again, starting tomorrow. Randy |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open Good Morning Everyone! I hope you all had a good week! A couple thoughts for the up coming week: 1) I will post the goal chart for the week. Remember to add yours to the list by clicking on the gray quote button. Doing this will ensure that everyone's goals are on the same list, which we can then use to cheer each other on! 2) As we get to know one another - please sign off with your name on your posts. 3) Anyone want to suggest a topic for us to discuss this week? Feel free to ask any question. There is a lot of experience and knowledge in this group, which I hope everyone will take advantage of to move you closer to your goals. 4) Have a great week everyone! |

Expert 1058 Fallon, Nevada | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open Originally posted by Qua17 Originally posted by Burd Originally posted by MOlsen After a week of "too hot to run" weather and a long busy weekend I was finally able to get a good run in today. It was an easy 4 miles but felt good to get out and get moving! Over the weekend I tried a couple beers from "Full Circle" brewing in Fresno, CA. Their pale was very tasty with a nice bite and perfect for the warm weather, whereas their IPA was middle ground and could have used a bit more of a hop character. "Hi!" to all the new folks, welcome to the group! "too hot to run" eh? I have to say I have zero sympathy for you It's freaking 90+ here with super high humidity. It's like Africa but hotter. At least you got a run in and for that bravo....good work. Hey Alex... Karma's rough isn't it.... It's 72 and sunny here... That laughter you hear as you sweat your butt off is payback for all the "oh, I'm going out for a ride it's 75 today comments when we were buried under 3 feet of snow bbwwwwaaaahhhhaaaahaaaa! |

Out of the four days I was at work I made lunch one of those days...soooooooo goals are similar to last week. * make lunch each day of the week * get all planned training sessions completed ~ This means, review schedule...can I really get to the pool? Or can I really not get to the pool? I think I rather do yoga so no I cannot get to the pool three times this week and do yoga. * learn to take a compliment. ~ People keep taking me by the arm, hold me out, look me up and down and compliment me on how great I am looking. I need to accept that with a smile, say thank you and give a genuine compliment or expression of kindness right back...none of this, "Oh but I have this fat here or there to lose" or worse yet, "I can do better, i am horrible at diets"...I am not on a diet I am working at something just for me and no one else and the work is paying off! |

Expert 1058 Fallon, Nevada | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open Originally posted by mirthfuldragon Good morning friends. I'm getting really pumped. Rev3 Quassy athlete guide came out yesterday, and I'm racing my first HIM in 12 days. Body feels great, I'm the lightest I've been in my adult life, bike's packed up, and I'm ready to *rock*. The hard part is keeping the boss off my back, because, let's face it, I'm leaving in three days for vacation and racing, and I've all but mentally checked out here. Here's a discussion topic: What do you do to mentally prepare for a race? Sprint, Oly, HIM, IM, swim, bike, or run - what have you found successful, what hasn't worked, and what do you like to do to get in the zone? I visualize...lay there, listen to my breathing then from the wake up to the finish i visualize the day. Positive vibes your way for your race! |

New user 180 Auburn, AL | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open Went out for my long ride this afternoon. Was having a really good ride till around mile 18. Heading around a corner and boom my front tire flats! I about wiped out but manged to keep the bike upright. Luckily this did not happen 30 seconds earlier when I was going down a hill at a little over 30 mph..... Amazingly this is the first time I have ever gotten a flat on my road bike. Glad I got it out of they way on a training ride. Hope everyone else is having a good weekend. -Matt |

Extreme Veteran 2098 Alberta | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open I see the postings lagging in comparison to previous groups. I will say that the more involved you get the more likely you are to succeed in your goals, especially if you are trying to do your first triathlon. My question for everyone is when is you first(next) tri of the year? Location? Distance? For me: Invermere, BC Canada. |
