Hey George!

Do you like crystal light? I buy there individual serving packets at the grocery store. They come in a small box. I have a 40 oz water bottle that I dump 2 packets into. I like the fruit punch and pomegranate cherry. They really help me get my water down.

Just a though!

I have read good things about it. I don't think the saddle that came with the bike is going to work. Aero makes me go numb. I just don't think I can overcome the pain. I am not a woosie either!!

Too high zones??...Must be out of shape   Wonder what these will look like on a fartlek run???  Swim later.

AM run:

Hi Tammy.  I am logging in with your permission.  Thanks much for allowing me to join in for your extreme knowledge....and tough as nails attitude. 

My name is Terri or Joe Runner on BT.  Why Joe with an "e" when I'm a female...because I was nicknamed waaaay back in high school as such.

My Story:  I am a mother of 3.  Two boys ages 8 and 7 and one girl 2.5.  I ran Cross Country all through high school and ended up hating to run after I went to college.  Actually tried to run on the Madison CC team but started too late and ended up quitting.  My priorities were definately screwed up in those days.  Met my hubby in the early 90's and he was a work out hound.  Started to run a little with him, but decided I really didn't like it and backed off again.  A friend of ours challenged him to a Triathlon about 5 years ago and it never happened.  Last summer he decided he was going to do a Sprint in Pewaukee and I decided it looked pretty tempting.  So, back to the running.  I could barely run 3 miles without dying.  Swimming?  I could splash with the best of them.  Made myself get in the pool and self taught the free style.  Still can only breath to the right.  Biking?  Huh???  My hubby bought me a Walmart special just in case I didn't like the sport.  This is definately the area is which I struggle the most.  After completing the Pewaukee Tri in July of '07, I was hooked....as most of us are.  Signed up for Devil's Challenge and completed that as well.  If you look at my race log you can see that I really struggled with that bike.  Whew, a whopping 12 mph I think.  YOUCH.  Well, suffice it to say, I really didn't think I would be doing another tri after that horribly hilly event.  Until spring of '08 rolled around.

This past year I trained for my very first half mary (Madison) and completed successfully.  Proper training I lacked.  That race got the juices flowing to do a tri again and this time it would be with the correct equipment.  Hubby bought me a tri bike and a wet suit.  I am invincible now.  I completed the very first Cap View Sprint in June, The Big Foot Sprint in June, The Pewaukee Tri (oops I mean Du) in July, the Pleasant Prairie Oly (my first) in August and ended my season with another half mary with the Lake Country Half. 

2009 my schedule has two for sures...Madison Full Mary and Spirit of Racine HIM.  I may also do the Cap View Oly and the Pleasant Prairie Oly.  I really want to do well on the Marathon and the HIM I will be happy to finish.  I have no desire to do a full Ironman, not because I don't think I could do it, but because I would HATE all the training.

 In regards to weightloss.  I have won a couple of events because I have signed up Athena and the playing field was much lighter.  I would love to lose 10 pounds not because I have to, but because I truly think it would make me faster.  I am looking to better my times in all three disciplines.

Looking forward to this mentor-ship.  Thanks for letting me join at such late notice.

Terri will be a great addition to our group.  She is FUN and motivated

Welcome girl!

Oops, I was logged in as my hubby.  But, thanks for the kuddos.
