SWBKRUN Mentor Group-"Off Season?" What is that?!! (Page 67)

This group is great!  I take a day off for my kids' school's field day (basically a day long recess) and you all pile one 5 pages.

John, when I saw "milking the DD thing" I thought we discussing sizes and I was nodding.  Driving never entered my mind.

Doug, welcome to the group.  What line of work takes you to Germany for a week at a time?  6' 200lbs - yea, that's little.  I was that size in 8th grade.

Linda, pregnant and nursing for 54 months!  Do you two not own a television or a deck of cards?  Is there nothing else to do around your house?!?!

Trevor, we ave the same situation.  Wife teaches and I write software.  And we don't discuss work - she teaches English (which I can barely speak ) and she gets glassy eyed about software.  She is getting her principal license this year and will hopefully be a principal in the next couple years.
And I thought Canadians never worked on Monday?

Chris, hope the shoes are the key.  Sounds like your head is set straight so you'll make it.

Tracy, Happy Anniversary!!!

Chris - that is great news, hope the healing and training continue to be positive

Doug - Welcome to the group.  Feel free to pick on Tracy at will, she loves the attention

Tracy - Happy Anniversary!! Love seeing those double digits when so many people don't put in the effort to make it last that long.  Congratulations

I got in my swim for the challenge this morning.  I typically swim in regular trunks, mostly because I've never bothered to pick up a pair of jammers and don't want to ruin my tri shorts in the chlorine.  Anyway, given that today was "Race Day" - I went with the tri shorts.  Last week I swam a hard 400 in 7:07 only to get to login later and find out the competition didn't start until the 18th.  Well today I swam that same 400 in 6:38 - the only difference being the swim wear.  Off to pick up some jammers after work.

Have a fun, safe weekend everyone. 

Hi Gang.

Re: the challenge

 Did a 375 m swim last night  6:40 PB. Was almost ready to puke. Coudl tell I hadn't been swimming for a while.

Holly: awesome swim and bike for the team.

Kim: What a great run. I am going to have to almost kill myself to get close to that time

Tracy: I see you are now considered one of the big boys.

Doug: Welcome to the mentor group.

DougRob - 2009-05-22 12:38 PM Two questions:

1. Are we supposed to swim 375 or 400 yds.? I swam 400 this AM.

2. How do you post pics! I have tried resizing them. My computer says they are less than 100kB, but when I try to upload to my album it says they're too big. You all seem to be able to do it effortlessly. What is the deal?

400 yds. I noted mine in Meters as "I AM CANADIAN!!"

I hvae problems with uploading any pics as well. My issue is that the pics are too big and I can't downsize them enough to fit without actually losing most of the pic.

<sub>John:

I read about your mishap. I feel your pain! In 1989 (wow has it been that long!) I was riding on Storrow Drive in Cambridge, Mass. when a girl in a Hundai t-bone me. I was riding my first and favorite bike. It was made for me by Francesco Cuevas. I was lying in the road and all these people were saying "don't move!"

I did feel any great pain and kept asking "How's my bike?" They thought I was nuts and kept saying it was fine. I went to the hospital and the Police took my bike away. I was lying in an emergency room bed and decided to take out my wallet to get my medical card. The wallet fell to the floor and I decided to go get it. That it when I knew I was not hurt bad. I could walk. They bring in a guy whos dog bit him in the face. He says to me "Ooh you look bad!" The guy whos dog bit him thinks I look bad? I had to go to a mirror. Had a large hematoma on the side of my head at the temple, and a small one on my ankle.</sub>

_{The bike...was not fine! I still have the frame. I dry my hockey equipment on it. In the era befor Carbon bikes that tbike was 16-17 lbs. fully loaded. She was so responsive and a beautiful fade from metllic silver to all silver.}

_{BTW: I made my hockey game the next night. My teammates were real sympathetic. "don't put your helmet on till we're on the ice." They wanted me to scare the other team I guess. My normal ugliness must not have been enough. I was glad your bike company is helping you out. That is how you keep a customer!}

Tony, that's almost identical to my workout this morning.  400 followed by 1000 in 17:38.  Nice work!!

Oh yeah one more thing..... heads up  to Team #4!  I did my 12m bike today and gave it all that I had--22.8mph/31:34 and not on sissy Watts either!  Hopefully, that will make up for my lack of Phelpsness on the swim front!

This is the view from our deck this morning.  Haven't dipped my toes in yet, but plan to this weekend.

Have a great weekend!
