September - Swim and Bike challenge for Fall Tri's (Page 7)

zenile - 2007-09-18 1:31 PM Well, sucks for me but I had to travel to NY this week for work. Needless to say, I didn't even get to hit the stationary bike or the pool...I did get some runs in, but were not counting those . I plan to make it up this week though, long swims for Wednesday and Friday.

We have confidence in you!!!!

OK, I'm going to stir-up the pot!

I heard back from 2 of the 3 MIA participants, both requested to be dropped due to a thing called life.  Haven't heard anything from the 3rd but logs are still dead so I'm assuming.

So what's this mean, it means East team better watch their tail because the big dogs are chomping, LOL!  The spread is down to 5% points now with the West team only a 1/4% away.  Oh Nelly, we have a battle to the finish happening!  There better be some smack talking flying after this...

Keep up the good work everyone, it'll payoff in the end.  I'm going to work hard the rest of this week to meet my swim goal by Sunday so that I have to do another 10% before I can get any extra credit.  I can't believe that I actually like to swim again!

Hi fellow swim/bike challengers!

 I'm doing the City-to-Shore MS-150 at the end of the month (a big part of my bike challenge for this month) and am still trying to meet my fund raising goal.  My goal is $1500, and I'm only at $400. 

This cause is important to me because one of my best friends growing up, her mom has been suffering from MS for as long as I can remember.  She's been wheelchair bound for about the last 8 years, and at this point essentially can't take care of herself.  She is an amazing person who has been so supportive of me my whole life, and I want to be able to give back to her, even in some small way.  

The money raised in this campaign goes not only to helping fund research to find a cure for MS, but also helps to support those individuals already living with MS.

Any little bit can help, and I would really appreciate any help you guys can give! The link to donate is below!!

THANKS!!!!  

I'm Sorry, but it is Sept 20th, what is anyone doing reaching their goals already unless

a) the training plan has no more scheduled for the month

b) you sandbagged you goals way too much.  

Central will be there in the end!! 

Grrrrr.  Wooooof!  This mutt is going for a major bike and swim campaign this weekend!  Arff!

My thoughts exactly!

Go Central!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No worries, if someone has already met their goal by week 3 results they have to add on at least 10% before they can earn extra credit.

I'll be one of those for the swim portion.  I had no idea I was going to see this much gain with the swim!

ROW will Rock!

I managed to get in a swim last night. Oh it felt so good! 

Swim:3h 42m 35s  - 9750 M

Bike:2h 30m 06s  - 35 Mi

Going to swim and indoor bike tonight at the gym.

So sorry I've been slacking but as you all know major drama in the Lynne household.  I am doing much better today thanks to everyone who's left me inspires on my log   I so appreciate the kind words, they help so much.   I have a race on Sunday and I'm going to fit as much in before and after as I can.

GO WEST! 

Here's where I'm at. I MIGHT still make it. Have a race this weekend and going to bike round the neighbourhood tomorrow.

Bike:2h 50m 06s  - 42.22 Mi - 67.78 miles to go (Eek!)

Swim:4h 02m 35s  - 10750 M - 11,250 meters to go (Double eek!)

West. I will try my best! Oh that rhymed  

I would have opened my mouth right there and then and went blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!  But that's just me

I don't even like cookies.....at all.  

I think the penalty idea would be a good motivator..  I'm on a taper week for a race and still have lots of green and purple to squeeze in - gonna go easy on yellow and get it done, but avoiding a twinkietar might be a nice little boost!

whoop whoop CENTRAL

this week has been hardest training week since my early 20s! and it feels great! next week is scheduled easy, but i will reach my goal!!!!! GO ROW
