SWBKRUN Mentor Group-"Off Season?" What is that?!! (Page 75)

No, no backup other than getting the workouts out of peoples logs, I just copied to Excel because any change you make to the online sheet is automatically saved.

Warning - I am getting technically savy - no, not really.  But I did just upload a few pictures of Ashley's dress rehersal for her upcoming ballet recital.  She is our youngest ... but our first girl ... we are learning alot about the "girl activities".  

I laughed a lot about the soccer post, I can so relate.  We currently have all three kids in soccer (and my husband coaches a team), all three kids in swim team, and then a few other individual things.  I can't wait for this soccer season to end.....
16 days!  

By the # of my posts today can you guys tell I am at home all day?

oh.  i was thinking you were saving those xls.   hmmm.  having to go back to the logs can potentially be a lot of work. maybe we should go Reub's route w/ the xls when the Deuce rolls again next time around.  no b/u is...well not good.  just a thought.

Very cute pictures, my kids are almost 3 and 5 and the activities are allready starting to pile up.

I'll pick up my slack this weekend, the 31st is my first outdoor tri of the year.  I'm excited and should put forth some good times.  I'll keep you posted.

Otherwise, it's been busy at my home the past few days with some training and work things that have left me exhausted.  So I'm several pages behind here. 

Did we already start a list of those racing over the weekend?

THOSE ARE AWESOME!  Relate here as well.  Swim lessons, t-ball, coaching t-ball, soccer (lmao at Reub's "as long as they don't mention it" comment), yada yada....

So do you judge by the number of posts or by the online sign? Either way, yup I can tell.   I sent Tony a PM the other day about my post count on here.  Then I looked at his and I ain't even his neighborhood!

Trevor - long sprint
Jeremy - sprint

Anyone else ?

Linda those are some great pictures!!! Very cute!

Yeah I have a job where I sit in front of a PC all day and wait for people to get back to me via e-mail or phone so lots of free time to post.  Before this project I was busy 15 hours a day, funny how you always go from one extreme to another never that happy medium.

I know some were talking about this a little yesterday, not too much info yet, but later it can be useful....

I know the feeling...We are smack dab in the middle of one of the biggest merger in Canadian history . 6k and 7k employees respectfully. So we are busy, but not busy. Hence my post count.

Hey I see you going back-to-back weekends as well.
Holy wins though...shes doing 2 Oly's b-2-b. You and I are the small and the weak.

I'm just lazy and don't like to work.   That and my data has been processing 24/7 since mid November .  Trevor man you just threw that crazy NC chick a bone w/ that last post "small and weak".  Be careful man we need you around here.

I feel behind a bit on this forum as I have went on two trips and bought a house!  I was just wondering what people are refering to when they say they put there workouts on the spreadsheet?
Help me catch back up with the group!!
THANKS!

Congrats on the new house Sarah...very cool!    And two trips, where did you go?! 

The group is doing a virtual sprint.  We split into 4 teams and we each had a few weeks to complete 400/12/3.1.   The Deuce (Team2) is kicking everyone's a$$ with no help from me.  Tony created some cool spreadsheets that we have all been logging are time's in.  It ends Monday...can you get all three in by then.  If so we can get you on a team I would think.   If not, don't worry, I think we'll be doing another one soon.

Good luck w/ your 10k on Sunday!

Grr, my wetsuit from wetsuitrental.com just got here.  I told them in e-mail multiple times I was interested in renting a 2 piece Desoto wetsuit, they said fine.

Just opened the box, some sort of Synergy wetsuit... 

Takes a week or so for them to get here so not like I can ship it back and get a new one in time to practice with it and use it for Mooseman....

darn wife logging into my machine....

Tony..call em' right now and tell them to overnight you the one you wanted! 

Uhh not anymore....Doug just ran a 15 min 5k so TEAM ONE is back in the lead.

Hi all,

Thanks for the encouragement on my run!  I think a big difference is that I am not very good at pacing.  I never know how fast to run.  Usually, during my races (5ks),  I would have some energy left at the end.  This time, I tried to go faster during the entire race.  I still don't know how to pace myself though.  Any suggestions?? 
Also, I had a really weird swim this morning.  I did my half mile, then paused for a minute and adjusted my goggles and cap.  When I started to swim again, I felt really dizzy.  I swam 4 laps and thought, I have to get out of the pool NOW!!  I ran to the bathroom and hugged the toilet for a while.  Let's just say that it was a good thing that I hadn't eaten anything yet.  I feel better now, I think.  I have had vertigo in the past and don't know if that was the problem, or something else.  Anybody ever get dizzy when swimming?  Do you think it is something I should be worried about?
I will turn in my swim time from this morning, but it may hurt Team won!!

Hmm, now I am debating about this Synergy suit they sent.  It is their top of the line suit that retails for 549.  Read some reviews both here and on ST and everyone really likes the suit.  They had a guy review suits there late last year and he said this was one of his favorites, extremely flexible in the shoulders more than any other brand.  And said it worked very well for broad shouldered people which is one of my problems with other suits, they seem to be designed for the stick people.

might be heading to the pool in the AM with it to try it out.

Uhh not anymore....Doug just ran a 15 min 5k so TEAM ONE is back in the lead.

Is his last name bolt???  15 min 5K???  That is impossible isn't it?  Or smoking fast!
