PT Freaks Team Thread - Nov USMC Challenge (Page 66)

Da' Teddie lives!

TOPPAGE!!

So has this experience changed your feelings tward pie would you say?

woot woot

350

Mmmmm. Capn' and Coke. I could go for a drinkity drink right now.

hehe!  he hates to lose!

Can anyone help with a Tekkie question regarding a Tri bike??

I barely know how to ride my tri bike! There are a bunch of chicks in this group! LOL! But why don't you toss out the question anyway?

A number of things:

1). Are you sure you were fitted APPROPRIATELY by someone that KNEW what they were doing?
2). Flexibility is a key.
3). RIDE LOTS and RIDE MORE.  The body needs to get acclimated.  BUT, the fitting needs to be done properly.

I took to riding aero very quickly.  The only thing that bothered me some was my neck muscles and the straining but looking up a lot and riding too far too soon.

Beam and Coke here.  SIL does Diet Pepsi - BLECH!  That's just so wrong.

PT Freaks notes – Chapter 5

Rudy got the party started with some awesome pics from his album – I *heart* the tri pics!!!  Thanks Rudy!  Kristin jumped right in with a pic from her most recent race and a pic from IMMOO (if you look closely, you’ll see that there are actually 3 BT’rs in the pic ).  Then sadly the pics ended - we need pics!

Although as Cat says –

Mel (Chartierm22) – while she has been known to sew, knit, bake and needle point, most recently has been making stencils of college football logos to paint on cornhole boards – she says cornhole is a fun back yard/tailgate game – sorta like a cross between bean bag toss and horse shoes (sounds fun, but the name makes me giggle!)

Chris (Chrisrunzs26)- is another fan of the ‘Last Unicorn’!  She’s out somewhere working or swimming or riding –

I hope she’s not swimming and riding at the same time – LOL!
 

Stacie (Dimplespoo)- checked in from Anchorage Alaska where she will be until the 19^th.  She won’t have much time for posting due to a hectic work schedule while she is there.  I’m guessing it’s pretty darn cold up there, so send her some hugs!

Magda (Eurydice79) – is making her way through the thread, she is determined to read every single post–what a trooper!  She shared her secret to no hangover

Phil (1stTimeTri)- hid his disappointment well after he realized that when Cat says tata, she’s saying goodbye, not striking up a conversation about topics that might involve TOPPAGE, or Melons .  Phil is not a big fat party pooper or a skinny one either, he hasn’t been posting in the evenings so he can spend some time with the fam – .

Jenn (Jenni4) – stopped by to let the team know that she got her day started with some T.I.T.S. (ok, she said time on the bike, but that’s not as fun to type as T.I.T.S. ) btw, what’s kettlebell?

Cat (kaqphin) –we learned something new about Cat

Beth (lastcall2003)- had to werk a lot and didn’t get to post much, her new movie was a great hit with Mel’s 2 daughters!

Kristin (LazyMarathoner) – even Kristin has her limits when it comes to her blackberry

Kendra (Pipscweek) – still flying low and getting ‘er done! (or maybe she’s still recovering from Halloween?

Rudy (Rudedog55) – had a couple of Sam Adams after the gym last night, and then after stating that he needs more TOPPAGE, posted his way to BOTTOMPAGE followed directly by TOPPAGE!  He has the quote of the day.  He got into the NYC tri!!!

Andy (RevBigDog)- if you heard a loud crash from the west, that was Rudy jumping on his rollers – heh, that sounds funny! He survived the session, but concluded that he needs to do it while his kids are asleep

Ted (TeddieMao)- did a fine job in the pie eating contest, he came in second (very respectable ).  Lessons learned from the contest, don’t watch the other pie eaters, it’s a distraction and opens the window for the big guy from the Mail Room to sneak past you for first place. ( I hope he’s feeling ok today – egads!)

Travis (tlnewman)-  is clearly enjoying being off duty since he cracked open a coldy at 4:12, not 4, not 4:30, not 4:15, but 4:12 – LOL!

Yanti (Triaya)- ahhhh, no late night visits from Yanti, but I’m sure she wouldn’t mind my giving everyone a big {{{{{{{MELON PRESS}}}}}} on her behalf .

David (Wraith28k)- how does one summon the joker?  Shall we tell him batman is here? Lol!

At this point I should warn you that a pic does not shut them up it just sets a precedent for more pics... 

Mel (Chartierm22) – while she has been known to sew, knit, bake and needle point, most recently has been making stencils of college football logos to paint on cornhole boards – she says cornhole is a fun back yard/tailgate game – sorta like a cross between bean bag toss and horse shoes (sounds fun, but the name makes me giggle!)

drink lots of water before bed and take a Berocca (fizzy Vit B supplement I'm sure you have the equivalent in the US ...)

. She’s working posting techniques to get TOPPAGE and BOTTOMPAGE, Now that she’s achieved them both several times without having to edit, she’s ok with edited TOPPAGE and/or BOTTOMPAGE

Phil (1stTimeTri)- hid his disappointment well after he realized that when Cat says tata, she’s saying goodbye, not striking up a conversation about topics that might involve TOPPAGE, or Melons .  Phil is not a big fat party pooper or a skinny one either, he hasn’t been posting in the evenings so he can spend some time with the fam – .

Vodka is the ONLY form of alcohol where I’m not a glass and a half girl...

– but word to the wise, keep her away from dark spirits . She’s

thinking of cutting my USA trip down to just a few places and make people come to me... then I could potentially do the trip in a shorter (and cheaper) space of time.... 

– be prepared for lots of visitors!

Beth (lastcall2003)- had to werk a lot and didn’t get to post much, her new movie was a great hit with Mel’s 2 daughters!

Kristin (LazyMarathoner) – even Kristin has her limits when it comes to her blackberry

Now come on, I'm not always on the blackberry. It's just nice to be able to browse the web, send drunken texts and such I won't sit and post while I'm having drinks with someone I've just met. Sheesh.
I'll wait until she goes to the bathroom...

hehe!

Andy (RevBigDog)- if you heard a loud crash from the west, that was Rudy jumping on his rollers – heh, that sounds funny! He survived the session, but concluded that he needs to do it while his kids are asleep

they are way to curious about the moving parts

– now THAT sounds funny!

just so you all know, i think this team is awesome and i lof the way you all interact with each other and us, it makes for a fun challenge.  Thank you all!!!

Yay for Freak Notes! And I LOVE the picture! LOL!

Yeah, that is freakin' disgraceful. I'm ashamed of myself. I had to work

Hi Kristin!

Bye Kristin!

I'm headed for home

ttyl!

I just got my (beautiful ) new tri bike fitted and the fitter told me I'd experience some discomfort when initially getting used to it since the position engages different muscles than a roadie position does. However, from what I've heard, the discomfort shouldn't last that long, otherwise you likely have a bad fit. Did you get a professional fitting? I think it's worth the money. Mine wasn't that expensive since I bought a new bike, but if I'd gotten a used bike, I would have definitely invested in the fitting. I was never fit properly on my roadie and it made everything more difficult than it needed to be.

Bummer! Looks like I'm talking to myself now

Nah just waiting for the new shift of freaks to start... 

I like the night freaks. We have a good time! Of course it's day for you

I don't know to punch out or punch in?

This Freak is gonna go hit the highway and hope traffic is not too too bad, maybe i will see ya all later!!!

i'm chatter here

Be careful.
