TriAya's Group: SHUT like dog on steak, sorry! (Page 55)

Pssst ... I was crazy before I got here.

Now I'm totally irrevocably batschmyte nuts.

So much exciting stuff--Shawn and Will about to pop their tri cherries--Terri signing up for her first--yeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa! 

x2!

speaking for myself, if I haven't run for a while my legs feel like lead when I try and run again!  I had a really short run as part of my plan the other night and didn't know if I was going to be able to do it 

Sometimes if I go two days without working out I feel like I haven't worked out in about two years.  Does that make sense?  My body likes consistency.  I also find that on days when I am on ladders painting (which I do quite often!) my feet and legs hurt like an s.o.b. so I would have to say it is a combo of both.  I don't have steel toes, either, so your legs really carry around extra weight all day...don't stop running though, it is important!!!

You ought to find a tri down here to do--you were considering that at one point, weren't you?  We could meet up in our Team Javelin attire!

it makes TOTAL sense!

I can't even describe how tough Feb and the first 4 weeks of March were with my sporadic workouts 

Things are finally starting to feel a little more normal 

You have had the craziest start to this year of anyone I know! And you powered through it, look at you!!! Awesome!

And normal?  Is there such a thing?    I am feeling awesome today for the first time in a long while--sun is shining, 2 workouts, kid is (knock wood) WEANED.  Life is good.  And I have a couple of races on the calendar which always keeps me motivated.

Speaking of races....who is up this weekend? I know Erin has a race, but I don't know the details....anybody else??

Thanks Leslie!

glad you are feeling awesome - makes me feel like singing or something  

Yes, please sing! Three days in a row and no psychotic behavior from me!  Yay!  Now I am going to be ROCKING GUITAR HERO for a while....see y'all later! 

LOL - trust me, you don't want me to sing!

Have fun playing Guitar hero, I love that game! 

WHAT????  Why would they do that???  You should come race the June Oly with us.  Share our room...

Do you have any other options for racing this weekend or next?  Sometimes there are other races you can get into, maybe!!  I am so upset for you, you have worked sooooooo hard!

I'm guessing they didn't get enough folks like me signed up to cover their costs (it's a college tri, to raise money for the team). It's totally ridiculous taht they're cancelling it THE DAY BEFORE. They haven't even sent out emails, just put a notice up on the website. I seriously can't believe it. I tried looking for another tri this weekend, but there's nothing that'll work for me, so I plan to get very, very drunk instead. There's a mini-mini tri (it's actually called "the world's shortest triathlon" next weekend that I was planning to do just for fun, but that's not really going to fill the void. I think I'll probably sign up for an oly in June, but honestly, I can't really stand to think about starting the training all over again right now. It's like I worked my butt off for three months for nothing. I know that's not quite true, but damn, it feels that way.

Ohhhhhh Erin!!!  I'm soooo sorry   What a letdown . . . If you would be able to travel to the Dallas area next weekend, I think registration is still open and you would be more than welcome to stay in my room, though I am realizing what a pain it is to travel to a race.  Ticket prices seem fairly reasonable to DFW.  Just figured I'd throw it out there . . . dang!!  Can't believe they waited until the day before, that is SO ridiculous!!

Erin . . . or isn't there an OLY out by Yanti somewhere the following weekend (April 19th/20th)???  I wanted to do that one sooo bad, but had a wedding.  Can't remember the details and don't know if registration is still open, but it could be a great one to check out!!  Closer anyhow, I think??

On Edit - Hey great idea to check out some races for this weekend!!  Beats the drinking yourself silly plan, LOL!  :P

Erin, Here's the one I was thinking of . . .

Back to work for me . . . Later!

I am SO sorry Erin!!  That sucks!!  I can't believe that they did that!!  I would have been super-bummed too. I hope you find another race soon!

MrsUSMC - 2008-04-06 8:36 AM Oh Erin that sux the big one. Manatees...as soon as I hit "submit" I'm walking out the door for my first *race* of the season. As much as it pains me to do it, I'm walking today instead of attempting to do any running; however, I am going since I know you'd all virtually kick me in the azz if I didn't! LOL. I'll post my little RR when I get home. Wish me luck - I have a sore throat.

We will all be looking forward to your RR, Terri!! Hope everyone is having a super weekend.  I got in a great ride and a fast run, and still hope to get in the pool later on.
