September - Swim and Bike challenge for Fall Tri's (Page 8)

need to up your bike goal? So, hum - was it 'cause of option A, or option B? I think I know the answer --> Evil Dee's smack talk lit a fire under you. Actually, I may hit my swim goal by the end of this week (not sure yet - it'll be close), which means I'd need to increase my goal, too. I had no idea I was going to do this much in the pool. (I'm already way over my entire August swim total!) Who knew..... But it's a good thing. I think. My arms are ready to fall off. LOL On the other hand, my biking is lagging behind. I'll have to correct that - we do NOT want the East Team to lose its lead!!!! Go East! Dee

he he - it would serve you right if you have to increase your swim  goal!  LOL 

I have passed my entire month of August for time in the saddle - The mileage doesn't quite reflect it cuz of spinning - but, it's the time that counts.

I swam 4,000 yds this morning to get back on track for the swim - i think my arms will fall off as soon as i'm done posting this message

Go Central!

Ok, here's where I'm at as of right now - this is not my official post - not yet anyway - lol

If I get motivated later I may try and get in a ride as well - what was I thinking when I upped my goal to 14 hrs?  I'll get 'er  done though - don't worry!

Another one on track here...

I have a planned 40k bike ride coming up this Friday but I will extend it to 41.5 to make it 200 km even.  

I'm on track for finishing as well.  Here's where I am as of today:

Bike: 78.18miles/100 miles (78.18%)
Swim: 16,700m/25,000m (66.8%)

I know it looks like I'm low on swimming, but I tend to do pretty long swims.  I'll be finishing up this week. 

8h 42m bike (79%)
5h 9m swim (64%)

Not the greatest status but will get it done! Have a race on 9/30 so will load up the purple and green in the early part of the week. Go CENTRAL

I'm right on track and should finish up my goals on sunday

Biked 206 miles (82%)

Swim 10057yds (84%)

GOOOOOOOO WEST!

Well, count my earlier post as my official post.

I was pretty pooped after my swim.  plus, I got to thinking about it, and I see no reason that I should have any problems finishing up  the goals successfully next week.

GO CENTRAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh, come on............you LOVE TWINKIES!!!! you dream of displaying a twinkietar!  LOL

OR, maybe, you really like ice cream..................yes, that's it

think about ice cream - all of this talk of twinkies has you distracted from your true goal of eating 52,0000 and some calories - lol

So far...

Bike : 111 miles... definitely on track, with the MS150 coming up this weekend!

Swim: 8931.2 meters

So... I accidentally hit my swim goal early, so I guess I'm upping it for the last week (although with the MS150 this weekend, not planning to swim too much... but should be ok).

Go EAST!!!

way off my goals.  and to boot, left cleat broke yesterday on the bike!! 

Bike 139.15, 60.5%

Swim 11420, 63.4% 

After my race yesterday I am here:

Swim: 13400 M

Bike:  61.99 Mi

I do have a ways to go but I'm planning a 40 mile ride this weekend (By myself) so that'll bring me closer and I'm swimming all this week to help aid with my sore hip.

I won't let you down West. I won't! I promise!  

Well, I'm working on the swim but during this month I've gotten three workouts scratched.  Two for weather and one because the lifeguards cleared the water at the beach due to a mass of jellyfish...this is getting a little frustrating.

My bike goal is already met  and I should still get the swim in as long as I don't have any more roadblocks...

Let's close this puppy out EAST!!!

OK everyone, this is getting closer and closer as we count down to the end! 

East has the lead in the Individual % but Central has the overall lead in the Combined % stats.  West has slipped a bit into 4th and the World team has made a big push this week into 3rd making it a close race.  Who will it be at the end...

I have a lot of riding to do this week, thank goodness my wife returns today as Mr. Mom hasn't been able to do any training! 

Yeah Baby!

Central Rocks!!!!

Hey guys,

Sorry for updating late this week. Had a race and then was busy. Here are my stats for the Challenge so far:  Swim: 17,200yds of 18,500yds

           Bike: 241.63 miles of 250 miles.....

I'll be more than able to get finished by the end of the month.

WAY TO GO EAST,,,,NO TWINKIE AVATAR FOR US!!!!

late as usual.  Probably not much help.

Hey Central Team. Sorry to be a late poster. Work is getting in the way of life at the moment.

I am in better shape than I might have appeared. Log is now updated. Should have no trouble finishing this out by the end of the week.
