lyssa-gator - 2009-03-01 4:34 PM couldn't find it on my actual computer for some reason, but i have it on my photobucket, so here ya go julie! that chick behind me and to MY right SHE was in the wave behind me, that's what a lousy swimmer i am LOL the waves started every 7 minutes i think and she caught up to me. LMAO.

first off you look ROCKIN AWESOME !!!!!  Second I am amazed that that girl is in the tri, and I am totally teary eyed because I am proud of her and I do not even know her !   Tri really does take all kinds i am finding out.  There is a gentleman that will be doing our indoor tri and he will do breaststroke, walk the treadmill and ride the bike, hei s in his 70s. 

Now did I mention you are a total hottie ?????  You look so strong !! That's MY LYSSA !!!!!!

Thanks for the picture girl !

I created a chart and have it up on my page but I've been having a terrible time with the BT html editor today; it keeps inserting extraneous font designators and other things. I need to work on cleaning it up before I can hand over the code.

thanks Nicole. I am rebuilding my computer...seems like it is really slow and so rather then constantly defragmenting and emptying space....thought I would start from square 1. forgot how long it takes to do this! ;( but soon I will be soaring thru my messages! YAY!

I will talk my wife into taking a shot or two.   I have to wait until next Sunday for the new shoes.   Right now I've got rat traps on - actually the bike shop owner said it is probably better while I'm getting used to the feel of the bike and I'm inclined to agree.  

Will let you know about the Look type pedals.  Someone else may be able to offer an opinion about SPD versus LOOK.  

I've never used anything other than SPD mtb pedals. I like the fact that the pedals are double sided and I like that mtb shoes allow you to be able to walk without walking on the cleats. It does mean that I can't use triathlon-specific shoes but that's ok because I don't really want to bike or run without socks.

We did get snow but I don't know if it's what they predicted. At 6am there was probably only an inch in the backyard, but at 7:30 there were a few more inches. It's supposed to be stopping any time now. I'll be working from home today.

If the weather clears, the roads get cleaned, and the meeting is on, then I'll be attending my first tri group meeting tonight. I had to skip last month's to go to my son's last HS hockey game. I've really been looking forward to tonight's meeting.

But it's not a secret; you told me ;) I've got 18 years on you!

MDHillSlug - 2009-02-28 4:07 PM I've got a birthday coming up and Michele has been on my case because I have nothing on my wish list; there's just really nothing I want or need right now. So, we've worked out that she's paying for me to participate in a swim clinic through my tri club. It includes videotape analysis, including above and below water views. I wish I didn't have to wait til March 29 for this. I hope they don't tell me that my stroke is a mess, but I hope there is something that can use adjustment. Goodness knows my stroke count is way high.

hey, my bday is in March, too! But I'm using my bday present to type this! Partner talked about possibly going to NYC for a weekend, but $ is a little bit tight right now for him, so I'm hoping to talk him into waiting until it's a little warmer. Plus then maybe my calves will be healed more and we can walk, walk, walk. My mom asked what I wanted, but I told her what I wanted couldn't be bought: A dinner with my immediately family all together, not fighting. My brother responded to that that he would be out of town. Oh, well. I tried.

what is the date of your bd? and good for you for trying....does your bro realize that grudges get you nowhere fast!? and it is easier to ignore the problem then to face it and go forward!? hope you can work thru this...I know how important family is and how it can hurt when someone is not being so nice! hang in there girl!!

I'm not telling when my bday is ... it's a super secret because I'm turning 30.

you lil young pup you! I just turned 50 a few years ago! I never would have dreamed after retiring from MTN bike racing that I would be doing triathlons after 50~ who would of thunk it?

hope you make it to your meeting! will they reschedule it? or will you have to wait another month again???

yay! sounds like the beginning of our SUPER-SUSIE week! have a good day! and glad things are looking up! and your weight is going down! have a good day!

What do you do that you are on call?

Yeah, me too!    It's amazing what we push ourselves to, isn't it?

Hey everybody!  I hope you are all having a non-snowy day.  My dh got stuck in Atlanta yesterday because it was snowing -- SNOW IN ATLANTA???  But he made it home this morning.

I'm hobbling around a little bit today.  I didn't run this morning, but do plan to swim this afternoon.  But in general I don't feel too bad, so maybe I didn't push hard enough yesterday?  That's what Torture Dan says, and he also told me, "

I would have thought the first 6 miles would be much slower than the last 6 miles

because of the wind. That last kick tells me you had plenty left. (I am so going to make you hurt this Spring on the track.)"

Uh oh, I am so in trouble...

ok susie, time for me to read you the riot act.

turning 30 ROCKS. you get to be a grown up now, people will actually take you seriously because you aren't a "kid in your 20's" anymore! 30's are WAY cooler than 20's!! i did my first tri 5 months after turning 30, i spent my 20's being a fat smoker!! embrace your 30-rock it-make it work for YOU!! i'm about to turn 32, and even though it seems weird (even still) my 30's are kicking my 20's arse!! LOL

lyssa-gator - 2009-03-02 1:14 PM also, i ran.
