I did another OWS tonight--two in a row so far...tri club party tomorrow in the same location--and they're planning a swim as well...Try for three in a row?

Tonight's swim was special though...I met with the local swim meetup group--their swim goes from the shore of Beals Point all the way across to the beach on the other side of Beals....Which after measuring tonight, is about 1200 meters....I didn't make it to the other shore (those fast buggers had started their return to the beach--and I didn't want to be left all alone in boat and jet-ski infested waters!), but I did make it 1000 meters out to the far side--and then another 1000 back---so I got a 2000 meter workout tonight! It took me 55 minutes, which is kinda slow...more so considering that another swimmer had mostly lost her swim cap and was then doggy paddling on the return trip--I was unable to get more than 1 length or so in front of her the WHOLE way back....somewhat discouraging. In any case, I swam farther than I ever thought possible, I did not stop....and I kicked asthma's butt tonight. For that, I am happy. I now feel somewhat ready for the olympic swim portion....the bike and run...well, we'll see.

Good luck Valerie and Allen!!  And yes, Allen, pictures of your race are mandatory!

Speaking of pictures, I have a little manatee challenge.  Surely we will be doing some sort of training this weekend, so let's each take a picture of where we run or bike (bike is what I was truly wanting, but maybe not everyone is biking this weekend) and post them to out thread.  I think it will be interesting to see where everyone trains!  Not training this weekend for one reason or another?  Post a pic that is 'typical' of your area.

I like it!  I wish the "GoPro" thread had taken off.  I love seeing video/pix of where others train.

Yanti, stay home and watch TdF.  You can just paste in pictures from your race last week!

rrrunner - 2012-06-29 11:30 PM So last night I signed up for the Pork & Brew 5K.  Turns out it's the 7th, not the 8th, which actually fits better into my training schedule. I can ride my bike there, do the 5K, then ride home.  I told my DH i'd signed up for the 5K and he said "that's not Oceanside". HA!

Good luck this weekend, racers!

We are in San Antonio, and my internet is not reliable. (I brought my HP Tablet, and I can't get it to connect to the hotel computer.) I'm using my son's laptop at my father-in-law's house right now, and I had to beg for time.

I can tell training is going to be a little light while we are here. But the temperature is so much better -- a high of only 101 yesterday here, and low, low humidity. Hooray! The day before we left, we hit 111 at our place. Crazy. Just crazy.

GO VALERIE!

GO CRAZY FROGGY MONKEY MAN!!!

I love this idea!!!!! Hmmmm, so I will be going on a run with some of the Brooks Olympians/Olympic Hopefuls this weekend in Eugene. This certainly won't be a typical...
