Momo's Group - (CLOSED) (Page 9)

I bought a used Garmin  Edge 305 off of craigslist the other day.  I'm now realizing that I have to be at least bronze member of bt.com to upload my data to the site. Is this true?

Yes, you do have to have an upgraded membership (bronze, silver, gold). Here's a link to all the instructions if you are interested.

If you have problems check the Garmin site to ensure you have the latest software downloaded to your computer. It took me awhile to figure this one out.

You can also use the Training Center software, which downloads the info to your computer instead of BT. It keeps track of the same info and a few more things.

Is is free to download/upload courses from BT. Have fun with the 305!

Team,

I was listening to some old podcasts while traveling and wanted to let you all know of a great podcast that I have followed called "Get your geek on"

http://www.podcastdirectory.com/podcasts/7258

It's a guy (Tri Kahuna) and girl (Iron Will) who have been running the podcasts for almost 3 years. The series starts during Iron Will's first year while, Tri-Kahuna has been doing them for years. There's a ton of great info on them, especially if you are new/novice triathlete. 

You can also get them from itunes if you have an iPod. Wanna sample first - listen to the newbie show episode 11. They come in handy during long runs/workouts.

There are tons of other podcasts out there, but none that are as informative and useful for people relatively new to the sport. Have fun listening!

Thanks for the podcast link!  I'll check it out tonight.

I did very well on my race, thanks for asking. As Mo mentioned I had set a couple of personal goals for myself for this race and I was able to achieve them all First, I wanted to finish with a smile on my face, which I did and I think there should be a decent picture of me crossing the finish line from the race photographer. Secondly, I wanted to run the 8K in less than an hour, which I also did at 51:31 minutes. Thirdly, I had been secretly hoping to beat my best 8K training run time of 56 minutes. I wasn't too sure how my last goal was going to work out considering that the weather was so cold and this was my first ever 8K. I also took 30 seconds off of my best 5K time. So, overall the race went really well and was a great experience. I did have a nightmare the evening before the race that I got to the start line but had forgotten my race bib. I actually did forget my race bib but thankfully, it was in the trunk of my car. LOL! I not to sure what else to mention but if anyone has a question about the race or how I did, please fire away.

Awesome RunGirl...score one for the MOMO team! I'm doing a half marathon in March.....nervous pervous here!

You achieved all three goals and it sounds like you had a great time.  That's awesome! 

How cold was it?

I'm with you, mildew33 - I really appreciate everyone's encouragement and advice.  We make a great team!! 

Glad you're feeling better and are able to get back into your groove.

welcome back mildew..glad you're on the mend...I guess dealing with "other factors" is all part of the training process.

Started reading Total Immersion that Mo rec'd...if the author is correct....my stroke technique is way off......better to find out now I guess...thanks Mo!

Hey Team Mo! Thank you to everyone for the 'congratulations' and well wishes regarding my race on Sunday. I really appreciate all the support.

Kristin,

 Awesome job with the race - I know it must have been pretty chilly! Congratulations. Just imagine what it will feel like to finish that Tri!

Sorry I have been on and off the air - Just returned from a week long business trip and the only thing I want is......

To run outside(might be kind of hard today with 9 inches of snow)                                           To ride my OWN bike - no more trainer                                                                                     To finally get a swim workout - I hope I haven't forgotten too much

 Sounds like everyone is doing well. Take care and have a great week.

Hey Mo, are you planning to issue us a Feb challenge?

please, please, please, please, please...
