Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() LOL, ya'll are killing me. There is no possible way I can do 45 HIMs next year. Pick one please. ![]() I like the idea of FL or Augusta, the less travel the better as flying gives me massive anxiety attacks. And vomiting and passing out days before a race doesn't really go so great with the overall hydration plan. |

Did I know that and just forget that I know that, or is that news? evondo - 2009-07-01 12:12 PM I've contemplated that race too, not sure I'll be ready for that one next year though with that whole getting married thing earlier in the year ![]() Newtons1st - 2009-07-01 10:55 AM I am saying hells yeah we should have an Evondo group 70.3 and beer fest. (Holy shite I just said that) Can I put in a Vote for the 70.3 Florida on 5-16-10? I might be able to swing that better with the wife as I have family to visit there. Of course Longhorn would be cool but I can understand on the INTIMDATORS plans. I think we should have everyone plan on Longhorn 70.3 next year, make it the official evondo group race ![]() |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() We're going to be getting married in Baton Rouge. I'll let Betsy fill you in on all the other details, I can't handle all the high pitch EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I'd like to temporarily re-hijack and ask for some self assessments ![]() I've been a slacker the past couple months and that's ok cause it was my 'off season'. Woke up the other day and looked at my workout plan and realized I'm 2 months out from one of my main races so it's time to kick it into gear. Goal time for the Olympic is <2:08 which would put me on the next tier of the Dots, more discounts and shoes! To get there I'm shooting for 1:16/100 swim, 23.6mph bike, 7/mi run which should all be doable but who knows. No more skipping workouts and time to pick up the intensity, the switch has been flipped ![]() Nicole83 - 2009-07-02 7:33 AM Well, if I haven't already freaked out and jumped up and down from excitement for you...

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Eric all you have to post is I will swim at "c" then bike a little faster then run faster than that. Just to rub it in I will be off tomorrow. Dont know how but we are off work tomorrow so I get a free day. I am planning on doing loads of flying mounts and nailing down transistions. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Got to love the day off! We're headed out on the boat tomorrow AM and hopefully get some wakeboarding in before all the idiots show up ![]() You excited for the race? Have you decided on a pre-race warmup? Do a couple circles around your friend to de-moralize him before you lay the smack down ![]() Newtons1st - 2009-07-02 8:35 AM Eric all you have to post is I will swim at "c" then bike a little faster then run faster than that.

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() haha...thanks Nicole. The guys can skip this post if they like. It will be a small Baton Rouge backyard wedding. Colors are yellow and white (with a hint of purple).

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() My assessment - June has not been my best month. Had 2 races and slacked the most this month. Need to step it up in July. For some reason I haven't been motivated to run. (I've been blaming it on the heat.) I need to re-motivate myself somehow because I do have half marathon in the fall. I think I've progressed a tad in OW - I need to continue to do so. Consistency is key for me in July since my last tri of the year will be in August. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() OK my fellow Texans just to bring it up again. I will be floating the river on July 18th. Just to tempt you even more, you show up, I buy the beer. I promise no *BT* speedo. Edited by Newtons1st 2009-07-02 9:14 AM |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh!!!! I love it!!! I'm a huge fan of small, intimate low key type weddings. I don't think my parents like this, but I joke with them that if and when I ever get married we need to find someone with a nice backyard or somewhere on a beach. Would love to see your dress!!!

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() We considered a destination wedding (somewhere beachy) but I didn't think some of my family would be able to go. Low key is the way to go!

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I think I may be the only person who doesn't really like writing an assessment. Here goes. June was all training, no races. Overall I think it was a solid month. My endurance is now higher than it's ever been. Had a minor set back one week with the legs being sore, super tight & not cooperating....but the little bit of time off helped a lot. I hit a point this month where I feel fully capable of the 70.3 distance ![]() S - Had my longest consecutive swim (which was great!), got in a few OWS, have become much more comfortable in my wetsuit....but I was a bit of a slacker a few days on making it to the pool in the AM. I'm loving swimming more than ever! B - This continues to be my limiter (guess what I'll be doing in my off season). If I were riding on flats I'd have no problem, but the second I start climbing any speed I might have falls off a cliff. I am slowly getting better at this. I'm a lot more comfortable in aero, but need to work on staying in this position more. R - I feel like I've hit a plateau here. I have no problem getting in all the mileage and increasing long runs, but my speed is stuck where it is. I was hoping to be consistenly running long runs at sub-9 min pace at this point. This is somewhat frusterating, but I understand that I can build endurance and consistenly build speed at the same time, especially with the volume I've been doing. So, this is something to work on for later. |
