Come on over, it would easily fit the two of us. In fact I think it would have been better as I could hardly reach the pedals

duuuuuuuuude, without a handbrake even!

I have a race for you!  We'll have to keep an eye out for the 2014 edition!

Are you kidding me!?!?!?!

Dude, and speaking of, this gave me a huge flashback of childhood.

This was the big wheel I had:

One day when I was at my cousin's house we spray painted the whole thing blue, pulled out the streamers and draped nail gun nails like this:

across the front. I suppose I was a bit of a Tom Boy growing up.

NAME: Adrienne

 STORY: I think my story is pretty similar to a lot of you guys. Just decided I needed to make a change, did so, found triathlon about 2 years ago and then found running.

 FAMILY STATUS: Partner (Jen) of almost 7 years, 3 cats all grey, one pug, blonde

CURRENT TRAINING: Ughhh ask Yanti. She’s torturing me. I think it has something to do with an Oly in August. I will say, nearly all of my training is part of a bigger plan to find my potential running.

THIS YEAR'S RACES: Lots of 5 and 10Ks and bike rides (one of which I get to do with Kirsten in a few weeks!!), and perhaps some track meets (1500, 3k, 5K etc.) AG Nationals (Olympic Distance) in August. Planning to run cross country in the fall before jumping back into marathon focus for Boston 2014. My training partner is doing Cal. Intl. in December hmmmm …

Oh yeah, and I am going to do a beer mile in a few weeks. Look it up. Serious business.

BODY COMPOSITION: Trying to find the balance of eating right and eating enough while getting as close as possible to race weight. I think it’s a dance we all do with in one form or another.

Growing up?

Speaking of which, young lady boy, do you have a swim workout to do tonight? Or do you require fresh torture?

 Yeah, 1500 M straight. Can't effing wait.

LOL!

Look at your arms. (I know we've talked about them before, but, still; they are worth mentioning again.) How many minutes a day? You should write a book.

Wow, you guys Do talk a lot.  Awesome. 

I just finished my first knee rehab workout, just a little walk.  I pushed it last time and re-injured myself.  Really need to remember to be smart.

lol ah geeze, well thanks!

But yeah, as I had said, runners tend to have little skeleton arms and I didn't want that to be me. So I just picked the most bang for your buck exercises (compound stuff that helps with the core, too) and try to do it every day during the work week. Literally only 10-20 minutes MAX. Of course it doesn't always happen but, like everything, it's about the general consistency over time. And it's made a difference. 

OMG SALTY you made all my pink stars go away! Pink ones are my favourite!

Someone else please tell me that they put stuff in the freezer to cool it quickly, then forget it's there.

And speaking of Olympic Trials, Olympics and Olympics ...

Indonesia's very own Andy Wibowo, an Olympic swimmer, got his start in triathlon by coming to an endurance seminar I hosted and being one of the first members of the Bali Tri Club.

After his 2nd place finish at an ITU Cup right here in Indonesia, he just took OA at another Oly-distance tri here in Indonesia (it seems like we're getting more triathlons by the day!), very rough waters, at just over 2:00.

It looks like, if he keeps going, he might be able to snag a place at Rio. He's only been doing this for a couple years.

Waiwaiwaitaminit. That was supposed to be an easy Sunday straight swim recovery workout.

You better start hoping the rest of Sheila T's workouts are a lot easier for me, and/or that Mutti stops slaughtering me in Yahtzee. Either way, it's not looking good for you.

I will happily take all of your pink stars.

Yes. I have left many-o-beer in the freezer. What a mess.

Well my sprint for this weekend is cancelled. Terrorism wins this one

Gross.  Yanti, that is just mean.  I did an 800 straight last week.   I had to talk myself out of stopping every 50 yards for the last 500...  Put me in a lake or the ocean, I'll swim 4km.  Pool--yuk.

Fixt that for you.  I set a time when I do that...

But I still need some recovery! Did you see how hard I worked yesterday?! I even did manual labor, and designated drove my drunk azz friends all over Seattle.

Yes, this is us at our calmest don't feel like you have to keep up, just jump in wherever you like and blather away. That's what we do. Of course if you post a specific question you might want to look for the answer.

Definitely take it easy.

Ah ha, see, I can totally learn stuff from my elders!

Ouch, WTH!?!

Oh no! What happened/who got afraid?
