SWBKRUN fast, furious, and closed (Page 90)

put the beer down and post a pic!!!!   please. 

george, where are you!  mussleman.. LOL!!!!! that's like me racing a HIM called beer.  

i decided to go  to florida after linda told me we could get drunk and go skinny dipping after the race. come on down!!!

HA!  I am not sure that is new news to everyone.  I posted earlier this month that I got in off the waiting list - had been registered for the sprint and was hoping to get into the HIM.  LOL - you were a little busy at the time.

I know Kim is racing a half the same day and she is not a newb to the distance - is there another first timer that day?

I'm racing the same half as Kim - and I'm newer than she is!! 

Yeah, let's see THE bike!!!

I love new bikes, I ended up following on of the owners of a local bike store yesterday morning, she was decked out from head to toe in new gear and riding a beautiful new Bianchi road bike, it hummed as she rode past...

I had a great relaxing 16k run this morning along the Noosa River, I listened to the Extra Mile Podcast - Galloway edition; made the 1hr 40mins pass quickly, made me think about whether Jeff Galloway's run-walk thing is used much by triathletes??? Seems like a great idea for IM/HIM runs.

Anyone use it?

awww crap.  sorry bro.  i was checked out a month ago... but i'm back in the game now (almost)

you and dino (suzy is gonna be yappin' at him all day!)  are the first timers.  and a few pairs of hot legs out on the left coast!!!!! 

FINALLY moved in to our new apartment in Fond du Lac!  And I'm just as tired as if I had raced yesterday!  It was really hard for us to move though because we know we're going to have to move in another year anyway.  I wanted to leave everything packed up.

I tried not to carry stuff, but it made me feel too lazy, so of course, now my knee is sore.  But I went to the PT again Friday and I go twice this week, and he's awesome!  He said he wouldn't rule out letting me do some races towards the end of this summer, so I'm happy with that! 

OK, just a quick update, and now I have to go make the in-laws breakfast! Happy Memorial Day weekend!

No worries - I would have been checked out too!!

That is going to be a busy day!!

so in case you think your kiddos or other little ears in the area don't pay attention to your doing out there... last night we went for a bike ride around the neighborhood.  as we get going june says to jack,  "lets play we broke a spoke".  

damn.

lol.

That is one of the MOST AWESOME things I have heard in a long time. LOVE IT!!!

When my kids were smaller (like 2-4 years old-ish?), they'd run around parks and say, "Look Mom!! I'm running a marathon!!" Made my heart smile for sure. Now my daughter says she wants to be a triathlete (among a thousand other things)... "But sometimes it looks like it's really really hard and I don't know if I can go that long." I have patiently explained that she does not need to do IMs to be a triathlete.

Happy Sunday to all!!

Oh... David... re: Galloway... I fully intend to Galloway my IM marathon. Last year my plan was to walk aid stations, which I sort-of did, after walking about 4 or 5 miles after having some tummy issues. This year my plan is definitely a run/walk time ratio as I am recovering from my injury (although depending on the timing I might just make it walk 1:00 at aid stations). I've been doing run/walk for longer runs since I've been building back up. For an HIM I'm sure it could work too! I always end up walking a few steps at aid stations because I'm not coordinated enough to run and drink at the same time if I want any liquid from a cup to go in my mouth.

Awesome!  You and Kyla are great role models for your kids!

Hi gang - back from the race.  Somehow I managed to win my AG even though I am way out of bike shape.  Boy am I tired but I have new motivation to get my butt on my bike and log some miles.

Fun day - well run race and the best part of the day was watching Drew do his race.  Improvement on the swim, strong bike and a good run although he needs a little work there.  Somehow he came across the finish line with a leaf in his hand.  Not sure where he got that from.  LOL  But he had fun and is looking forward to his next race.  We'll post some pics a bit later.

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

dalessit - 2011-05-29 12:35 PMSomeone won her AG today.

Something tells me it was either your daughter or Sam! Congrats, Woman!

ha!

RoniS - 2011-05-29 6:00 PM Marathon finished in 5:40 ish. Idaho done and 44 states to go. Camping the rest the weekend so re tuesday. Hope everyone having a great weekend!

Awesome training run Roni!  Have fun camping!

Congrats Sam on that podium!!!

LOL on the leaf in his hand.  Maybe he stopped in the woods to take a leak.

How did his nutrition strategy work out?

I believe the nutrition plan went well.  He ate his beans before the race and the sharkies on the run.  Although he had a slow run so maybe he spent more time eating than running.  LOL  He wanted to take the Sharkies w/ him on the bike and stuff them under his helmet.  Daddy vetoed that idea.
