TriAya's Group: SHUT like dog on steak, sorry! (Page 59)

Hi fellow Manatees!

I'm still alive and kicking!

Shawn - hope you are feeling better soon!

Leslie - woo hoo!  welcome back baby!

Erin - you should feel quite proud of your accomplishment!  (can you teach me to be faster?)

Renee- well, I think it has all been said - You ROCK!

Yanti - so happy you are feeling more like yourself!

Laura, Will, Terri, Hector - how the heck are you!?  (Hector, we so have not forgotten about you ) 

Shawn - I'm not sure if your race is Sat or Sun . . . but either way, have a great time!!!  Careful with your calf though!  Can't wait to hear how it goes!

Renee

Go Number 1!!!

You ARE Number 1 in our eyes, Shawn, so it's a perfectly good race number! GOOD LUCK!!! 

Hi guys!

I made it to Minnesota and am just now headed out to DD's first match.

Shawn, we are all sending good vibes your way! 

Shawn-you will probably have to wait until morning to decide which bike to ride....hopefully the roadie!! Crossing fingers!

I did my longest workout ever in many years, as far back as I can recall.....at least since I was on the crew team in the mid-80s.....I rode two hours in 35 degree weather, then bricked it and did a 1-hour run!  Felt good, feet froze, but otherwise, I am really feeling like I can handle the Oly distance and be no worse for the wear out on the course.  My friend is really pushing me to do a HIM...but I don't know about that, I just don't have that much training time....although she does make me do these long workouts on the weekend.  Maybe next year, we shall see.  Should probably try a half mary someday to see how that feels.  Still, I am psyched that I got in a 3-hour workout in less-than-favorable conditions today.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

GOOD LUCK SHAWN!!!!!!! I hope the weather improves!  You're going to do GREAT!!

I ran a 5K with my husband this morning (his first) and a 1-mile with my 4 year old.  My son did AWESOME and finished in 10:29.  For some reason, though, they put the 1-mile first, so I had to run with him, then run .5 miles to the 5K start, and THEN ran the 5K.  My time was 28:40.  Not bad, but not as fast as I had hoped.  Running the 1-mile first killed me (especially since my son ran pretty fast).  I only had about 3 minutes to start when I finally got to the start line, and I was already tired.  Oh well.

I am so proud of my husband!  He was dreading it b/c he is not in great shape and thought he'd have to walk a lot.  When we job together he really slows me down, so I figured he would finish in about 32 or 33. When I finished I ran to get him some water b/c I expected him to be pretty far behind me and thought he would be exhausted. When I got back to the line he was there!  He finished in 29:21!  He even ran the whole way!  I'm very proud.

Wow!  Congrats to the whole family!!  My son wants to go running tomorrow....weather permitting we will.  I want him to do a tri this summer, and he wants to...so we need to get him on a training plan.  Is there one for 5-yr-olds on BT? 

WOHOOO Shawn!!!  You BLEW AWAY your expected swim time!!  Awesome job!!  Good plan doing backstroke vs breaks!  Let us know when your race report is up, can't wait to read it!!  How did your calf hold up today??  Hope it is doing well tonight!

Feels good to kick off the tri season, huh?

CONGRATS SHAWN!!!!!

Awesome, awesome, awesome job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terri!

we can't wait to hear the reports of your first ride!!!

Leslie - what can one say????

you ROCK!  I continue to be amazed at how you get your workouts in with everything you have going on - not the least of which is the weather  

Shawn, once a triathlete - always a triathlete!

awesome job and congrats!!! 

Hello, sweet Manatees!

Yes, so much exciting stuff--Leslie, you just keep pounding the amazing workouts out. That, AND you're done with pregnancy/nursing!!! Great!

Shawn did awesome. Drop by his RR (Link a few posts above) if you haven't already.

Terri, I'm so proud of you. What a gorgeous bike for a gorgeous lady. You will do her well. Keep on, keeping on. The calves, as the rest of you, will continue strengthening up. Don't be afraid to do even more walking on the wralk, if it keeps you going longer because your feet and legs feel better.

I did the fastest (well, the only) 7.5 mile run today I've ever done

Well, I'm back and the craziness should settle down a bit, for at least a week or so anyway

whew!
