Extreme Veteran 416 Mercer Island, WA | Subject: RE: May "President's Cup" challenge - US West Team I did 17 miles on the bike -- through Madison Park, Madrona, Leschi and around Seward Park and back home. Then I "ran" four miles...my very first ever brick! Tonight I have a 3 mile easy workout with my running club and then swimming 2,000. Eek. I want to try to start biking to work, but I have some major hills in a really short ride...I would have to go up Madison from the lake, down through Madison Valley, then up Capitol Hill and back downtown...It scares me! When are you getting your new stuff? |

Elite 4148 Utah | Subject: RE: May "President's Cup" challenge - US West Team Hi Westie's... Sorry, I'm a late arrival. I've been on vaca the last week, which for me means being away from a computer for a week. Looks like this is going to be quite the large team. Well, better get back to work so I can have time to workout today. |

Member 31 Colorado | Subject: RE: May "President's Cup" challenge - US West Team Can someone tell me how to enter the brick info? Is it just a 5% increase for the actual brick, or 5% increase for the whole week (in biking & running)? Looking at the original message I think it is 5% increase for the whole week, but I'd like to verify that first. Here is the quote from the original message: "For example, if you complete a bike/run brick you get an extra 5% of your running and cycling totals that week. If you have a tri race, you get an extra 5% in all three disciplines." |

Veteran 175 Penn Valley, | Subject: RE: May "President's Cup" challenge - US West Team Well, it's a slow start for me. It's probably good that it's still really early in the month. I made progress on my goals Thursday and Friday but Saturday, I did weight training, which isn't part of my goals. Unfortunately, after my morning workout, I worked in the garden for almost 4 hours and forgot the sunblock. So, I got my arms and shoulders sunburned (actually have a few little blisters on them today). Saturday evening, I went for 2 1/2 hour motorcycle ride. Sunday I was very sore and didn't workout. Same for today, I bailed on my workout. The thought of running with the burning arms throbbing was not appealing. I suppose I could have ridden but didn't feel ready. I definitely need to get back on track tomorrow. I think the arms will be better by tomorrow so I should be good to go and make progress for the team.
