PT Freaks Team Thread - Nov USMC Challenge (Page 50)

South Bend area some what near Notre Dame.  We actually moved here from Traverse City, so am from michigan but didn't get into the tri thing until we moved here.  So I am completely clueless as to when/where/what good races are.

Edit:  TOPPAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well that sounds like a good thread to me   What exactly does NIBBS stand for?

Wraith28k - 2008-11-03 6:20 PM Hey, I think I said hello somewhere in here! Not my fault y'all are awesome posters. Got my commute in today, so that's a point. Happy Monday everyone

oh, and I don't know if you saw it, but at least half of us are very askeered of clowns - I know you're the joker and all, but it's still scary

LOL!

Poll - who thinks that Wraith's avatar needs to be changed to something else, something different than a CREEPY CLOWN!!??

ME!!!!!!!

BOTTOMPAGE!

me too!

LOL!

it actually doesn't stand for anything - it was a thread that was started for a challenge team last November

Our team name was 'They Who Shall Not be Named' - which morphed into Twisnibbens, which morphed into nibbens, which morphed into Nibbs

the thread was sort of like party central for the challenge forum and lots of folks from all the challenge teams posted there in addition to the actual team -

I started doing cliff notes and I even started a separate thread that was named the Chronicles of Nibbens (or something like that) because we were posting so fast no one could find the notes - LOL!

The thread just sort of never died and it's now it's kind of like the chat room for the challenge forum

we love fresh meat new folks, so stop on over!

Morning Mel!

Have they grown to twice their size now since using those meds?

You want lengthy, check out my IM Moo '06 RR.  Scoobysdad has some REALLY (serious) great RRs, too!  They're always entertaining.

what's P90X?  I should probably know, but I dont'

I don't know either

Ads are all over certain satellite stations.

chartierm22 - 2008-11-03 10:13 PM I don't know how you all keep up with each other, what with 3+ different threads you are all posting to.   How do you keep them all straight?

hehe!

I already replied to this - ooops!

Proof that we really can't keep them straight!

and now you all really wonder about the notes

I love your notes... even if sometimes i think you get material from outside of the team thread... it always makes me smile!

whooooooo me?????

ok, I'm busted!  I never did that during nibbs - I just recapped whoever posted since it was such a madhouse - the last couple of challenges I've peeked at peoples blogs if they haven't posted so that they don't feel left out of the team - since not everyone *hearts* posting as much as we do

does 2Goggs know you said that about him? LOL!

LOL!  That is not true!

I didn't really know much about it either. I used to do the Cross-fit workouts but I don't have room at home for all the weights and stuff.So I was doing it at the gym with all the muscle people and it was a pain waiting for equipt and spending too much time at the gym. So a few folks here on BT mentioned P90X and I loked into to it. It is a weight training system combined with yoga,and Cardio and a nutritional program. I will be starting it on Sat. I am hoping to gain some strength and while it is not really a weight loss program I figure that mixing it up will allow me to lose the last 10-15 lbs I need to drop. So I'll keep you posted on how it is going and there are a few threads on the Strength and Weight Loss Forum on BT. Well off to eat lunch and back to work. Have a good one"Freaks"

Chris 

Good work on the swim. You are a brave soul, to take on the rollers.  Much luck on the rollers, I have always wanted to do them but I am pretty klutzy and figured I'd break something. But you have a great time and no carpet rash!!

Chris

PT Freaks notes – Chapter 4

The guys missed out on a lively discussion about coffee, Melons, and Melon presses, although Travis did drop in at just the right time and managed to get a post that included TOPPAGE and Melon talk – hehe! Kristin and Beth were plotting to set up a fake discussion to torture Phil, but Travis quickly reminded us that it wouldn’t work

Mel (Chartierm22) – has not only gotten the hang of TOPPAGE, she’s also perfected post padding to result in the coveted spot of BOTTOMPAGE followed directly by TOPPAGE – nicely done Mel!  (I’m so proud, it brings a tear to my eye *sniff*– LOL!)She bought a pomegranate and is looking for ideas on what to do with it (oh and you got the spelling right )

Chris (Chrisrunzs26)- got BOTTOMPAGE and TOPPAGE, although I think we need a ruling on the BOTTOMPAGE since it wasn’t claimed until 2 posts after TOPPAGE – lol!  She was one determined lady! She had P90X stuff delivered by a really cute UPS guy and she was able to wrangle her husband into doing trying it by making a fair trade agreement with him 

Stacie (Dimplespoo)- oh Stacie, where are you?? Helllooooo!

Magda (Eurydice79) – is here with us in spirit, she hasn’t been able to post as she’s been super busy at work and at home – she spent her weekend painting her house – fun times!  She’s amazed at the post count, but sadly due to her business is having a tough time keeping up – don’t give up!  We just need to find an easy way to get you the note   her weather has been cold and bleak

Phil (1stTimeTri)- was stopped dead in his tracks and stopped posting for an entire minute after seeing aquagirls avatar – lol!  Thank goodness Kristin stepped up and responded to the post, we wouldn’t want our visitors to think we are rude

Jenn (Jenni4) – Jenn, come out and plaaaay!

Cat (kaqphin) – has a thing for cyclists, but wonders how a guy can seem soooooooo attractive while on a bike and soooo NOT while off it!  She admits to having a bit of a crush on a cyclist she knows from work –

Beth (lastcall2003)- had a rockin’ time on election night giving foot massages to DS

Kristin (LazyMarathoner) – Finished up her RR while drinking a bottle serving of wine – it is a MUST read!  She had an election party of one but is seriously not a lame azz, well maybe she is, since she volunteers to work on her day off – doh’!

Kendra (Pipscweek) – is flying under the radar………………….

Rudy (Rudedog55) – saved the day, when he stepped up and took one for the team after realizing that we had gone and entire HOUR without a post.  After reading the post about Travis pleading the fifth, Rudy replied

Andy (RevBigDog)- just missed getting his first TOPPAGE in honor of being a good citizen and encouraging folks to vote (don’t worry Andy, you’re bound to get some TOPPAGE before the month is over )

Ted (TeddieMao)- minored in melons in college – LOL!!! Talk about taking your civic duties to heart, not only did he vote in the morning, he planned on going again after work – he’s still battling a head cold and will soon be moving to the burbs.  He kindly provided the team with tips and tricks on how to win a pie eating contest. Will there be a race report after you complete the contest?

Travis (tlnewman)-  had a rough day and indulged in a Fat Tire Amber Ale, although he prefers Yeunleng.  He wisely pleaded the fifth about his feelings about Yanti’s toppage

Yanti (Triaya)- stopped by with Melon Presses and smiles, she but a killer day in the books – cycle, walking and running! For the record, Yanti has never gratuitously ogled Travis’s legs (or anyone else’s I’m sure ) – riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! LOL!

David (Wraith28k)- stopped by on Monday to say hi, he is still sporting the clown avatar :/ 

And don't forget that ever-entertaining and classy-style writings of our very own, TinkerBeth!!  THANKS, AGAIN!!

So I forgot my running shoes again.  I am going to go home and get them, since I don't really want to miss the run I promised to go on two times in one week.

Work has actually been busy, so I haven't been able to post as much as normal.  Hopefully things will settle down soon, but I doubt it.

AAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHH!!!  Bad grammar alert!  Bad grammar alert!

LOL! Nah, 2Goggs looks the same pretty much in life and in races since he's usually joking around for the cameras! Some of his race pics are hilarious. When I see the race photog I try to look all serious! 

Rollers scare me. I'd probably break the other shoulder.

You are worse than my wife.
