kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2011 Part 2 - CLOSED (Page 65)

Its a good book.  He reminds me of Mark Cavendish.  I read it when it first came out and now Shaun is reading it.  We can have book club once everyone is done with it.

Jeff/rizer - I love the pics from your son's triathlon!  That is so cool.  Does he like doing it?  How old is he?  My son has expressed an interest (he's 6), but I don't think he'd make the swim.  He's still learning how to swim properly.  He has lessons year round at his school, but he's still not there yet. 

Kelly - Great photos of the whale.  Is that a Beluga? 

Carrie - How can you tell your shoes are worn after only 200 miles?  Mine have always looked great after 400 (so much so that I've questioned spending the $ on more so soon).  I've always just replaced them when I hit that mile mark because I've been told to do so. 

My mom sent me a TYR transition bag as a gift....for no reason.  It's really nice! 

Pics from my tri this past Sunday:

Before swim:

Swim:

Bike (Orca shirt with pink trim):

Run (my husband didn't really get a great pic....notice my race number starting to fall off here):

The race was an awesome experience!  I learned a lot, too.  I had a panic attack in the water.  It felt like my wetsuit was sqeezing my chest, and then I couldn't breathe.  I guess I just need to swim in it more.  I could have pushed harder on the bike.  Also, I got a 2:00 penalty because my race number fell off during the run (LOL....I guess I had to learn the hard way ).  Can't wait to do another.....

THAT is an awesome pic! Looks like you are about to kick and take names! 

i shall raise a bottle of micro brew and a quadruple cheeseburger to you, shaun and kelly and all my friends who are scared of to smart to avoid riding and running on hills

i run in the woods with the dog.  she knows the trails better than me.  she also plays with the coyotes, which freaks me out.

Hi, i am Rudy, whats your name.....

wow!  great pictures, totally bad-a$$.  great work!

save it for cup of joe big guy!

but he was riding a bike for a living and making a fortune... i sit in an office arguing with d-bags.  tomorrow i get to go to court and argue with a particualrly annoying d-bag because she cannot, despite having been admitted to the New York bar and representing Chase Bank, read.  Apparently she is driving up from New York to give the judge a piece of her mind about me.  It will not go well for her.  Sigh.

^^^^ this.  Love the intensity.

Thanks for the support, everyone!  I can't wait to race again!!!!

Rudy - LOL...you make me smile

Michele - I half-a**ed my race report because I was so tired when I wrote it.  I'll fix it up a bit and post it tomorrow.  Thank you for asking. 

Don't we have a bunch of racers this weekend?  Rudy, Jeff, Kelly,....who else? 

Griskus Oly for me, more hills.  Happy fathers day to me.  my present to myself is pain.

Also its smack down: Shaun vs. Rudy for the Fast Fat Cup (winner gets: 40-O of King Cobra, tin of Kodi-snack, and a box of Little Debbie snack cakes) at patriot.  Kelly is doing the patriot aquabike.

That's one to get framed!

Cry HAVOC! and let slip the dogs of War!!!

(everyone else, follow me to the bomb shelter) 

Who has more TdF stage wins than any other rider in history and is only 26?

Plus, he's hot and has that Isle of Man accent.  I love my Manx Missile!

For those of you don't know, Cav is a sprinter who rides for HTC-Highroad.  In three years, he’s won 26 stages in the Grand Tours, 15 of those in the Tour de France, as well as a win in Milan-San Remo and in races all over the calendar.

Shaun introduced me to Cav by forcing me to watch hour after hour of TdF coverage, so my obsession is all his fault.

Where's Lance?
