Racine Vs. Steelhead HIM Challenge - Lake Michigan Rivalry (Page 5)

My goal is also sub 4:50.  But that is not for the finish, that is just to be off the bike by then.....heh.

I have a real good feeling about this SOR group.  I can't put my finger on it, but there is an energy about us that just tastes like victory.

Or maybe its this picture I found in Jazzy's album???  Maybe she signed up for the wrong race?  Not sure.

AMEN to this!  It's really all about kickin' the tar out of Steelhead having fun in the spirit of Racine competition.  It's all about winning everybody doing the best they can according to their ability even if we have to cheat.  Let's crush Steelhead all push each other without letting up placing undue pressure on ourselves.  I hope we win  all just have a good time.

Jazzwithnumbers just wants to be the underdog for once!

LOL!!!  I'd have to say SOR is already up in the Trash Talk department.!

Scott, that's most excellent detective work!  And reminiscient of your defacing liberties with Whizzz's pic last year.  And, once again, it looks like you've managed to pick a girl that can pound the snot out of you.  Nice going. 

BTW, I think in the way of matching them you need to post your "jessi pose" pic. 

ahhh...she probably makes up that training log stuff while sitting on a couch stuffing her face with cheese curds... Jazzy:  "Hmmmmm....what will my training log read like today (stuffs a curd).....I know (stuffs a curd)....90 minutes on the bike at LT (stuffs a curd)...followed by a 6 mile brick...yeah, that's the ticket...that'll scare those SoR peeps when they read my blog (sinister laugh) "    

For all of you who still question the ferocity of the badger:

"The badger does not usually seek to attack, but, when driven to bay, its great muscular power and tough hide render it a formidable opponent. Weighing up to thirty-five pounds when fully grown, badgers have an extraordinarily dangerous bite, which they are willing to use recklessly when threatened. Showing itself to be a dangerous adversary...."

 On the other hand....

"The Wolverine ...in appearance  resembles a small bear with a long tail. It has been known to give off a very strong, extremely unpleasant odor, giving rise to the nicknames "skunk bear" and "nasty cat.""

 So dont mess/threaten a badger and dont be downwind of a wolverine...SOR should have no problem keeping ahead of the the steelhead wolverine.

Knowing some of the SOR peeps they're not even warmed up yet!

Word!  And who doesn't love good squeaky cheese curds?  Or deep fried cheese curds?  That, my friends, is a power snack.  Mmmmmm...

Shermbelle - 2007-05-16 7:02 PM My goal is to beat my mentor Birkierunner. Seeing that SOR is earlier than Steelhead I will have an advantage and know how he does. If he goes sub 5, then I will have to go sub 5. If he blows up and goes say 5:15 then I will still go sub 5 to pad our teams victory

My pupil, you obviously haven't read the SoR/Steelhead data thread where we list our race goals http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=75950&posts=21&start=1 

Sub 5?  Shoot, I'll have changed clothes and be on my 3rd serving of post-race food by 5 hours

Holy Hibberdejibberies!  Leave me some bananas, ok?

I am definitely doing the HIM at Racine, however I am not sure if I should compete in this.  This will be my 2nd or 3rd tri, probably 2nd, and my goal is really to finish and to get through the swim without getting kicked in the face, gut or other body part, LOL!!

but then again, can you make an entry for making it through the transitions while looking like a "disorganized  ... I dont know what I'm doing kind of triathlete".... because I will probably qualify for that specific competition, LOL!!
