Team 3 - June Challenge (Page 6)

disturbed275 - 2010-06-06 12:34 PM My sprint tri went pretty well today.  Ended up 29th out of ~700 people.  5th in my AG.  They are pretty generous handing out hardware so I got to take home a super sweet piggy bank!

nice placing in your race

You should put a sticker on that piggy bank that says "new bike fund"...LOL

wgraves7582 - 2010-06-05 2:53 PM Howdy from Jackson, AL.  It has been a hot and humid 2 days and avg about 70 miles each day so far.

Just wanted to say hi from the road!

tri808 - 2010-06-05 10:05 PM might need to adjust my goals this month.  Crashed on the bike today after running over a good sized branch (effectively it was like running over the barrel of a baseball bat) hammering 25 mph down a flat.  Couldn't see it coming with the 2 riders in front of me narrowly missing it and went over the bars.

Not sure how...but I only have some road rash on my left arm.  My shoulder is completely fine, and didn't hit my head.  My bike is actually fine too.  Lost an end cap on my brakes, but that's it...the bike ended up getting tangled in my legs so it didn't go flying.

Swimming might be totally out of the question for a couple weeks as one of the scrapes is fairly deep, and the thought of showering a couple extra times after working out just doesn't sound fun in the next few days.

I can't complain though...if you told me the circumstances, I would have guessed a separated shouder, broken collar bone, and a concussion.

tri808 - 2010-06-04 3:00 PM Team name suggestion

In honor of Bill's tour, and since he was calling people out (in a friendly way) for people to challenge his mileage...

How about "Bill Rakers"...being that Bill's posting status is "Muck Raker"

IDK...I'm one to always poke fun

Oye!  I ran a 2 mile women's race today.  I pushed baby in the stroller.  We finished in 15:41.  That hurt!  I got 2nd in the stroller division and 11th of 231 ladies!  Whew!

MDHillSlug - 2010-06-06 3:43 PM I did 64 miles of riding today as part of the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure. I rained, it was cool, but it could have been a lot worse. So far I've raised $1500 but I'm still taking donations. Could you help? Thanks!

crews - 2010-06-07 9:04 AM Welcome to the week, folks.  I hope this one stays low key for me.  I was supposed to ride the Tour de Rock century next weekend, but I just do't think I can.  I'm going to drop back to the 100k.  It's frustrating to have ridden so many miles, and still not be able to do it.  I rode 50 this weekend, and just couldn't imagine doing 50 more.  DEpressing!

Hope everyone has a great week.
Go Team 3!!!

Hi Team--Took the weekend off from training and enjoyed a few days of fun one-on-one with my older (11 yrs) daughter.  She had a wonderful time and I am completely broke.  THese two circumstances often seem to coincide.

Right on track with my goals this month--felt good to get back into the game this morning.

I can report that last Friday I had my first-ever bike crash.  Out with a new group and approached a standard turn that they now forgo calling out, so I didn't get the signal to slow.  Crashed right into they guy in front of me.  Was going pretty slow, so just a few scratches on my shoulder and shifter, and need new bar tape.  I don't even have road rash, so I won't have a good story-worthy scar.  Oh well, next time, I'll have to fall more dramatically, LOL.
