Next time I'll shut up, I didn't realize how many instructions I was shouting at him, that would confuse me also.
Great videos! Looks like he was focused on the task! You guys could have helped him set up his bike a little better so that his pedal wasn't blocking the kickstand! LOL
Those are awesome! |

That's so cute! Makes you realise all kids are the same at that age, putting shoes on the wrong feet is a regular occurrence in our house! I've just signed up the whole family for a 3km run on the day I do my next HM, the girls and my wife are not impressed but my little 7 year old boy is raring to go. There's a few kids triathlons coming up form September onwards so I'm hoping they''ll do them too. Their school gets a professional triathlon coach to come in for 12 weeks to prepare them for the Noosa Triathlon - maybe I'll tag along and get some tips! |

That sounds like a lot of fun. I hope the rest of the family gets as fired up as your son. It's so much fun to share the racing experience them. Speaking of coaches for little triathletes, there was a tri team at the race this weekend that must have had at least 2 dozen kids in the race. They all had team kits. It was really cute. Congrats Linda and your newest grad. The pics were great. That sounded like quite a party. Awesome job Roni! I hope I didn't forget anyone else. I'm a little behind the curve. Back to work tomorrow. UGH!!!! |

Running and swimming are up this month, cycling down. I'm increasing running as part of my HM program but I'm not sure why my swimming's increased, I think I'm just getting used to longer workouts. Cycling's harder to do due to the cold and dark evenings... The local tri club were doing a trainer session by the pool whilst I was swimming this morning, think I'll have to pluck up courage to join them |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() fowlmood - 2011-05-29 8:33 PM Well here she is I went with the Cannondale Slice 5. Picked her up on Saturday hopefully try to get in a short ride on Monday if the Wind is down below 40mph.
I've had family here from Arizona, California & Texas for almost a week now and have fallen way behind on reading the MG posts. So, congrats to those of you who have raced in the last week. I'm officially on summer vacation now, so let the training (and napping) begin!! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() dalessit - 2011-05-30 10:30 AM Uploading Drew's T1 and T2 for your amusement, should be done in a few. He rode the bike with shoes on the wrong foot, we asked him about it afterwards he said he did it on purpose because it hurt his feet and made him want to ride faster to get back to transition so he could fix it... Drew has it all together now. Nutrition, motivation. There can't be much left before he goes and sets new records at Kono |

This is a completly different beast from my Tarmac. new muscles to use.

Lets just say I'm glad I can go commando around my own house!! try to find a brand that has single use packets like this. you do not want to cram a big tube of something in the limited space you have on the bike during IM. you may even be able to tape one or two of these under your seat. edit. i wouldn't rely on or assume a tube in BSN will get you the rest of the way home either.

Cool John, thanks. I need to stop by REI for some new riding gloves anyway. A girl always loves an excuse to go shopping. Even if it is to buy a cream for her butt. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() sdalessio - 2011-05-30 8:52 AM Hi gang - still working on the race report. Probably tomorrow AM when I don't have housework calling my name. But these are some cute pics I thought I'd post.
Not sure where that leaf has been. But he ate his sharkies.
Running into T2
His exhausted athlete look LMAO!!! I need the leaf story! What a great pic, and the reverse shoe motivation method is hilarious. GOOD WORK!!! |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hey all. Haven't written a race report from the weekend yet, but had a great sprint with the family on Saturday. For me, I finally broke 25 min on a 5k. I think my PB was 25:30 or so stand-alone, and I ran off the bike a 24:38. Was thrilled with that. I think when I crossed the RD sid something like" #50 Trevor Cochran, hey someone get him a drink, he's foaming at the mouth." Michelle had a decent race, but she is still learning how to get settled for the swim. The girls had fun, and wow Kaitlyn(6 in August) gets what a 'race' is now. Michelle tried to keep up with her on the bike, sans training wheels now, and she couldn't. Good times. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hot amd humid up here also. The temp went from 12 on Sunday to 31 today and 39% humidex ( makes it feel like about 38 here. That would be from about 53 to 88 in two days. ( about 100 with the humidity). No wonder I was sweating like crazy when I rode to the university here. ( about 7 K.) Went for amn OWS today at the lake and it was great. A little breeze so there was a few small waves which kept me breathing off one side going into it. Going back with the wind/waves was great. Hd excellent times going with the breeze ![]() I am going to hit the bike tomorrow morning and will take as much fluid with me as possible. It's supposed to be another warm day tomorrow. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() It's the end of May!! Would someone tell our weather that??!! Rainy and 50's... again. At least we're now solid in the 50's instead of 40's, so I guess I should quit my bee-yatchin'!! Was pleased as punch to break 100 miles for running this month. The hamstring is really doing great and I have runs now where I don't even feel it. Still feel it when I sit around, or drive for a long time... but the fact that I am running, running on hills, and sometime trying to run faster-ish, well, that makes me smile. Party on!!
