TEAM RFP (Relentless Forward Progress) CLOSED (Page 7)

I should get my new schedule today. I'm really worried about fitting it all in, but I guess I just have to start, and see how it goes: I have 20 weeks till my half, and I am considering going down to TN with a friend in 16 weeks to do one of the REV3 races.

Love it Simone.

No worries Cheeky - nice to see you back

Good Afternoon Team RFP.

Darrin - great to have you, I am guessing Tim will say welcome aboard. I see you have done one Sprint - awesome - where do you want to go from here?

Anne - I am glad you don't have to have that done either - oh, don't worry, I will share more than that with you

Deb - Cheeky - looking forward to seeing you in LP - thanks for the encouragement. What Rev3 in Tenn and when?

KTC - all good so far, 1 week down, 27 more to go and this one is off to a decent start. Nice swim and short run yesterday - short trainer ride later today on the schedule.

OK -team - what else is going on? I think we would all list our A races and I will compile them with dates and post so we all know who is where and when so start cheering

KC

Is there a way to upload my training plan from TP onto BT? I really don't want to log in 2 different places.

Good Idea...

Deb -

Rev3 Oly (?)- May 18
Patriot HIM - June 14

I just got a heads up that previous volunteers can register now for LP. I am all signed up and ready to wave those red Speedo's at KC - Whoot whoot!!!

My "A" race is HIM Racine on July 20th but my first race will be March 16th. I will be doing a half marathon. A great way to kick off the season.

Welcome Darrin!

I like listing our A races. My is an Olympic tri on June 14th. I may have another one but right now I am planning my races on a whim.

Simone, great news on the bike.

Deb, very excited to hear you got to sign up early for volunteering at LP. Did they offer an express pack or something along those lines?

Like Gil, my A race is Racine HIM.

Which Half-marathon are you doing. gil? I am likely doing one in the spring as well; either champaign or chicago spring.

Does anyone swim with ear plugs? Typically I don't but last year I read that one should wear them if they are swimming in cold water so I bought a pair for IMAZ and now I kick myself if I forget them when at the pool. Can't believe how much of a difference they make. The big difference is balance when getting out of the water.

Hey Todd - I'm doing the March Madness Half Marathon in Cary IL. It's sold out. Every year it sells out in about 30 minutes because they only let in about 1K runners. I like doing this one because it keeps me running over the winter and it's close to home.. I just hope my Achilles hold up. So far so good.

My A race is an Olympic tri on May 11 in Chengdu, China.

Is there still space? If so I'd love to join. Just finished my first week of training for Ironman round 2, coming up in June and would love the advice! thanks

Helen

My A race is Eagleman HIM in June

In reading through the posts I think I answered my own question. That being said, I am in!

STORY: I did my first triathlon at 14, but didn’t get seriously into long course until 2012. I ran throughout high school and did my first marathon in 2008 (still my PR which slightly irritates me, 3:12). After several marathons I was injured and couldn’t train for quite some time, I gained weight and went through the whole “trying to get back into it” process. After rehabbing etc. I was content with simply working out until my big sister signed up for her first IM in 2011, after watching her finish twice I knew I had to get out there and see what I was capable of, that brought me to IM Coeur d’Alene in 2013 (12:40). Last year I also did the Racine 70.3 and the Chicago Marathon, so clearly I have the racing bug again!

FAMILY STATUS: singleish

CURRENT TRAINING: Currently in my 2nd week of training for CDA 2014

2014 RACES: Coeur d’Alene, Racine 70.3 , possibly Muskoka 70.3

WEIGHTLOSS: Weight is ALWAYS an issue for me, esp. in big training periods as I feel I justify eating a bunch of junk because of the training (it’s vicious cycle). I'm at a healthy weight, I guess I'd just like to keep it there, if that makes sense.

Hey Deb.

I believe there is - you have to safe it in a spread sheet with in a CSV format. I am sure our beloved techno geek and mentor Tim will chime in and tell you how to do it.

What is TP anyway?

KC

Hey - I am going to be wearing those red speedos - how the hell are you going to be waiving them

Nevery used them KTC - but now that you suggest it, maybe I will.
