Erica, I know exactly how you are feeling.  I signed up for my first HIM about a month ago, and it took awhile to convince myself to do it!  Mine is on May 9th, and I've got butterflies already.

You will do great!  Enjoy the training!!!

OH ERICA. 

THATS AWWWWEEEEEESSSSSOOOOOOMMMMMMME!

YOUR VERY FIRST HIM!

NERVOUS, NODOUBT!

YOWZA! 

WHERE?

WHEN?

details!

Patriot Half in Mass.  It's June 20th.  Early in the season works well for me so I can train while my kids are still in school.  Husband will be deploying this summer so Patriot works out perfectly.  Lots of BTers doing it too.  Extra bonus!   I'm excited but somewhat scared too.  If I stick to my training plan, I'll be fine, I know but something about a half iron.....yikes.

got it written down on my calendar.

YEAH YOU!

and butt kickin' as needed, INDEED.  whatever you need to get you over that line, WE'RE HERE FOR YOU!  

though you strike me as the kind of person whos not going to need a lot of butt kicking from her team mates ie YOUR HIGHLY, HIGHLY SELF-MOTIVATED!

your gonna be GRAND!

GPoL.  miss you already, you&your super silly self.

ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY all those crazy roller coaster mt bike rides and race. 

just make sure you come back in one piece, well at least come back w all your important pieces.  you can leave a FEW on the trail as needed....

and we know your good for the peaches!

its the little things in life....

OMG.  here i started ANOTHER new page.

i must have the page starting magic touch or something.

now im starting to feel a little creeped out by the whole everytime i post a new page starts...

do-do-do-do-do-do (twilight zone theme song....)

anyways.

woke up STIFF AND SORE.

my butt, my hip, my elbow, my knee.

but im gonna roll w the punches.

normally im SUCH a woosy-baby (is that how you sp woosy?) about these sorts of things....

headin to the pool later on 44 mins, not sure how far ill get.  gonna take something to count laps though (havent gotten the lap counter, darnitall)

i need to get a time for a 400 yd swim, to submit my form for the mini that im doing end of April.  theyre asking for a time for 400 yd swim, damned if i know....

ill be sure to keep my eyes peeled for a pool piglet.

HELLO, PICTURES??? so i know what the heck im looking for. 

then i have an 88 min ride to get in, though id LOVE to be outside, mother nature definately is NOT cooperating today (damn her!)

so its spin for me, but later this eve, they have a 1/2 hr class then a hour class right after that way i can get in my 88 mins.

then a rest day for me tomorrow, and my FIRST RACE/5K on Saturday since my injury.

its time to get back on.......

after the week ive had, not sure bustin' a move is in the cards.  heck after the last few months ive had....

at the rate im going this wk, ill be HAPPY to get there in one piece, line up, run a reasonably good race, and then celebrate w green beer and pizza.

my two younger sons are running the 1 miler w their dad.  that'll be a TREAT.  this will be the 2nd im-racing- a-race-like-mommy-gets-to-race they'll be running. 

if they get serious about this running stuff, they could be quite good.

they didnt get swifty feet from their mom that's for sure!!

HAVE ANOTHER HAPPY TRPs.

Good Morning Peeps!  I am soooo sore I can hardly move.  Although I am feeling better after my icebath that I should have taken yesterday when I got home.

Everyone just checked through the progress our team is Kicking a$$. 

I need to vent a little.  A little background first...I just retired early from my Local PD (early 10 years of service) to go the the Sheriff's Office.  I was on our old version of Swat which is nothing like the team here at the S.O.  I know all the guys and though I already planned on trying out was forced to try out before I am technically eligable.  So I have been training to meet their more stringient (sp?) standards.

I have been doing fine with most of it due to my tri background.  Well it finally hit me yesterday that there is a 100 yard rescue carry of the teams heviest member to simulate an injured team member recovery.   Sounds like no big deal untill you meet the teams heviest member. 

For goodness sakes with all the strict guidlines and freaking near impossibility to make the team (about 50 to 75 try out every year about 20 pass the tests and they accept maybe 5 or so) there is no way a really heavy guy could make the team...RIGHT?? 

Imagine my delight when I put two and two together yesterday when I met a particular member of the team.  He is a great guy that happens to be 6'7 and 320 #'s of muscle.  Ok not too bad then he laughs and tells me that I will be doing it in full gear ok there is and extra 50 pounds added to me and he will be in his full gear...add another 60 pounds to him.  Ok I am not the smallest guy but I am definitely no strength champion either.  So all in all I have to drag, cary, slide, waddle, cry, push, shove, or by some other means transport his big a$$ 100 yards.  (((((CRAP)))))).  It is ok though he will only weigh about 380 plus the weight of my gear...This will be a piece of cake right?

We shall see in about two hours when we have training.... Sorry for the long post.

HELLO PEEPERS!

skrtrnr - 2009-03-12 7:52 AM ill be sure to keep my eyes peeled for a pool piglet.

 

HELLO, PICTURES??? so i know what the heck im looking for. 

Well, Yanti could give you a more detailed explanation, but as I understand it: 1) Good looking guy 2) In the pool 3) Wearing (preferably but not limited to) a Speedo swimsuit. AND I'd think that extra points are involved if he talks to you. So. Seen any pool piglets lately?

THANK YOU FOR THE EXPLANATION.

this helps tremendously.

sad to say, NO POOL PIGLETS TODAY.

but ill keep my eyes peeled

and im ALL about xtra points!!

^^^^^^i like Dees solution.  go with that!
