Champion 10742 Ames, IA | Subject: RE: Taser Running D001 - 2009-06-14 12:43 PM ashort33 - 2009-06-14 9:43 AM How/why do you feel that you "messed it up?" Basically, the key to open water swimming is to just, well, practice it lots. Start out where the water is flat and calm. Then when you're comfortable with that, go to someplace where it's choppier/more wavy. Get used to breathing on either side. This helps you breathe away from the chop. Also, you can sight the shoreline to gauge your distance. BTW, since this is BT, anyone got any OWS hints for me? I messed up that portion of my race yesterday. It is really different without a wetsuit.... I'm thinking of attending a OWS clinic, but don't know what to expect. Has anyone been to one? I have to agree with Dee and Erica. Practice, practice, practice. |

Master 2201 Elgin, | Subject: RE: Taser Running Hi everyone. Though I would check in since I haven't been around much. Found out Friday Night that my Heart MurMur is inocent. Best news I have heard in months. Now if I can only get my lungs back to 100% I will be set. Tuesday I will see how good they are since I am running my PFT which is 3 miles as fast as I can. Until this issue I am usually under 21:30 and closer to 20 even. I am expecting around 23 or so. |

It looks like we have a new leader....! 1st place - JUNE BUGS - 42.3% 2nd place - Taser Running - 39.8% 3rd place - Team Trifecta - 38.8% What will happen NEXT week? Will Team June Bugs keep the lead? Will Team Taser Running break out the TASERS? Will Team Trifecta put on a strong showing and move up? Stay tuned. The month is only 47% completed. The third update will be posted next week. Stay motivated! Keep running! (And don't forget the secondary challenge: the POST PADDING challenge!) - Dee Aack! Second place! I don't really think its a question of IF the tasers are going to be pulled out.... *agrees* We got to get back to first place ASAP! |

Can you mount a video camera at about the 3.5 km mark? (Can't answer the tri or road bike question. But I would like to see everyone's faces just before they hit the top of the hill on the 3rd lap.) |
