PeepSqueek Pedallers: Go Yellow! (Page 7)

RunningJayhawk - 2008-03-03 8:37 AM Holy crap. I feel like I've been hit by a mack truck. I've been out all weekend with some weird funky viral thing. Hopefully I'll be back on in another day or two.

Hope you are feeling better!  What Danskin tri are you doing? 

Hello PeepSqueeks!

Hopefully this month will be a bit more forgiving for me than last month.  12 hours of T.I.T.S. should be a good goal to start with, I'll fine tune it as I develop my 12 week training plan this week. 

I actually brought my MTB into work today and will ride home tonight and into work tomorrow AM.  The weather is suppose to be really up and down this week so I'll get what I can when I can.

Donto on-out

I'll be doing the one in Pleasant Prairie, WI...aka "Chicagoland"

Have you done that one before?  I was looking into driving down there and doing it too. 

Got in another hour ride today for about 17 miles.  The winds were punishing today and despite riding a loop there was always a head wind.  Does anyone want to try and explain that one to me?  ;-)  Planning to get in one more ride tomorrow for about 20 and then try to knock out another 50 or so on Saturday morning.

Keep riding and remember that what goes up must come down, or at least I think so.

Hi everyone.  I'm finally on the board with a 20 minute ride today.  The weather forecast is starting to look reasonable from a temperature perspective (nothing like Okinawa or Tokyo though).   Ideally I want to start logging some time out in the real world and just supplement with warm up I'm doing at the health club before strength training.

I'm beat.  last night I had an awesome late night ride home with a 15-20 mph tailwind.  This morning I had a 20-25 mph headwind, ugh!

1hr in the books...

On-on

crea0029 - 2008-03-05 11:42 PM Not me...I have a long run scheduled... an hour on the dreadmill...just shoot me...that will feel like six   I can't wait till the ice goes away and I can run outside safely!  Tomorrow is 45 minutes on the bike though...should been good

 Good morning team,

 I have a long run scheduled for today, which I just finished but no biking.  I too was planning on doing a treadmill run but when I woke up this morning and saw it was actually 29 degrees outside (warmest it has been at 4:30 am for three months) I decided to put on my thermals and slap on the Garmin.  Boy it feels good to pound the pavement again (my knees are thanking me in their own way too right now...) Although, I'm having a little trouble typing this because my hands are still frozen dispite wearing gloves :p

Pam, we must be doing the same training plan b/c I've got a 45 minute ride scheduled for tomorrow as well.  20 week beginner HIM bronze level? 

Hi Team - you have a new team member sweetcorn (since corn is yellow I thought this would work!)

Yeah...I am doing that plan...I started on Sunday so I am what 4 days into it.  Tomorrow is a 45 minute ride and a 30 minute swim...plus I have diving class for school so I am going to be very athletic.  What HIM are you doing?  Must be around July 19th or so right?  Good luck!!  We should keep each other in line!! 

Hi Cat and Teem PeepSqueek

I'm stepping on late, but I hope you'll accept me because:

A. I rode a hard 55 min spin class today at 6am with 5 (count 'em!) virtual criterion loops

B. I think I scared the women next to me with my panting at HR 178 on loop 3 

and

C. I bike commute almost 25 mins on most days M-F

I can commit to 14 hours of riding in March unless it monsoons...and even then, no one likes wet, soggy peeps, so I'll tough it out in the spin studio if I have to. 

I'll check back in on the 9th and see if I'm in, or out. 

Cheers, -Sunny 

Hi Sunny - Im sure no one will mind that yuove jumped in - as long as you have a goal and you are riding!

 I dunno... we're a pretty tight knit team.  No room for outsiders now...  hehe... j/k!

Welcome to the Peepsqueek Pedallers!  Goodness gracious.  Anyone who can remain concious with a HR at 178 for any length of time is alright in my book!

Haha, we're on exactly the same day as well.  I actually started the plan back in late January but I've restarted it twice now because I was falling too far behind in the training.  I moved to Korea a few months ago and my swim goggles didn't make the trip with me.  Since it's the middle of winter there are none for sale that I can find so I had to have them shipped from the states.  I didn't want to just jump into the middle of the swim plan since that's my weakest event so I've just been restarting the whole plan.  I'm in for the long haul now though.  I'm not restarting again. 6 days down 114 to go!!!

I'm registered for Ironman 70.3 Singapore which isn't until September so I'm going to have to find a good bridge program to get me from July through September.
