SWBKRUN Mentor Group-"Off Season?" What is that?!! (Page 77)

Good luck to everyone racing this weekend.  I still have to get my bike and swim in for the team tri.  It has been pouring rain here almost the entire week, so no bike.  I’ve been holding out for my swim until my tri shorts come in, but it looks like I’ll be doing it in my trunks.  There is a group ride tomorrow morning with a bunch of hammer heads, so I think I’ll just try to be up front for the 1^st 12 miles (if I don’t get dropped) and then limp home after that.

Tony, I saw that you have the Synergy suit.  If you are still willing to let me borrow/buy the other suit please let me know and I’ll give you my address and send you a check.

Nice reference - one of my top five favorite movies evah!

Tracy - thanks for the permission, I was already heading to the tri-shop after lunch to pick up a swim cap for tomorrow.  First time in the lake and I think it's going to be a bit chilly. 

I finished my virtual race this morning with a personal best 5k time of 22:45.  My iPod was dead this morning, so I ran sans music.  I think I paid a lot more attention to my breathing because of it. 

Has anyone had any issues w/ Motion Based lately?  I can't get it to upload from my Garmin.  I can upload my routes to BT, so it isn't device, laptop or user related.  What was the other site people are using - sport tracks? training peaks? 

Have a good weekend everyone - as Steve said we're having awesome weather out here in the PNW.

According to my MG race calendar I see that Andy is doing a bike race tomorrow, Trevor a sprint, and then on Sunday we have Stan and Jeremy with sprints and Holly with the porta poopy water olympic.   Did I miss anyone?  Best of luck to all our fabulous racers.  Have a great time.  I'll be leaving work early today to travel to the hubby's race.  It was odd watching him pack last night and not feeling the same pre-race anxiety.  He is doing his first olympic of the season (second ever) and set a very aggressive time goal for himself (2:45).  Please send him speed vibes this weekend.  

As a treat for all our hard work on our virtual sprint,  I think we've all earned a new piece of equipment.  Be it a new pair of socks or a new bike frame.  Treat yourselves well. 

Unfortunately due to family issues, I have to bag my bike rally tomorrow.   I will instead ride 60 miles in and around home base.   It will be less scenic, but I will still get the training done. 

Hey Steve - I'm swimming in Padden w/ a tri clinic some friends are running.  We're meeting at 9 for a swim/bike workout if you want to cruise up.

come on you big wuss. get out in the rain.

I have still have to do my ride too and have been putting it off due to crappy rainy weather and the fact that the stationary at the club is out of service. (no I didn't fall off it again)
