Agritubel Team Thread (Page 9)

Hey team, I did it!!!  God help me, I actually did it.  I really wasn't sure that it was going to be possible after that 52 miler because that really drained me more than I thought.  I had done a 42 mile course just a few days before so I really didnt think that another 10 miles would've made that much difference, but it did.  It could also haev een the run and strength workout before hand, I'm not sure.  either way, i finished.  I think it took me 16 stages and today's ride was painfully slow, but I made it through.  Congrats to everyone who is already there and best of luck to my teammates who have that last little bit left.  I'll be pulling for you!

Had a great time being part of Team Agritubel.  Committing to the team was a great motivator to stay on course with my mileage.  I think next month I will not be riding nearly as much and try to stay a bit more balanced between the three disciplines and strength training.  That said though, since I know that I can do this kind of mileage I have no reason not to do it in the future. Thanks again everyone.

After a slow and painful trainer session, I have just arrived in Paris! I had a not-so-great half-mary this morning so I was really worried I wouldn't be able to do it, but I napped, rested, drank lots of gatorade and got on the bike.

I hope everyone is just about finished! What a great team this was to be a part of. Who's in for the August swim/bike/run challenge? I am! I'm focusing on running next month. Hope to see some of you there.

And let's hope we win this thing! We definitely worked hard for it. 

I think I'm going to do the challenge next month too.  It has really been a great thing to keep me motivated.

 Good Job LM!  I am in for the August challenge.  I am challenging myself to run more, but I still have a pretty good ride goal set.  

Good job Team!!!  100%!  I guess if nothing else we should tie for 1st. 

This has been a great team to be a part of!

I'd be up for a motivational group/team. I totally agree, after the half-mary and getting sick no less, I would have laid on that couch the rest of the day. But the thought of having to tell you guys I couldn't finish motivated me to get up and get on the bike! It sounds like a lot of us are signed up so we should keep in touch on the goals. It will make it more fun. Looks like a huge group so the discussion forum should offer a lot of support. 

Not soon enough! I'm hoping it will be by the end of this week. Especially after how trashed my legs were yesterday as a result of finishing on time!  

Oh!  That's a great idea!  I need to figure out my running numbers.

I put in goals for swimming, biking and running as well even though I'll be running more than usual. But I want to keep it balanced, I still have two tris in August and an oly in September. I'd be up for keeping a group going.

I went out and rode 35 miles this morning and felt like the first thing I should do when I got home was get on here and report another stage.  But then I came to my senses.   Hopefully we will see some results soon.

For the August challenge I am in for running, biking and swimming. 

I'm commiting to 40 miles of running in August.  My injuries (shin splints) are doing much better and it is time to start increasing my miles on a more consistent schedule.
