Hi Cat!

 

Hi Beth! Has it been a good day?

yep, overall it's been a good day -

the first day back to PA without my family is always a little rough

 

Hang in there... its not for that much longer!

I know! it's just a little tough some days

I thought it would get easier, not harder - weird!

My husband and I lived apart for about a year before we were married.  I think it was harder every time I visited.

ok - so, I'm feeling a little dumb

but for the July challenge do I set a total goal or does it need to be in stages like the TdF?

I could and should read the whole thing - but I figure, I'm talking to the expert.........

nah thats what Im here for - you set two goals:

Goal 1: number of stages (a stage doesnt count if its less than 15 minutes)

Goal 2: Total distance or time

so, each stage is a bike workout?

Wow Long distance relationships always seem like one of the most difficult situations to me... they rely on so much

Exactly... its slightly different to last year where it was stages only! I added a distance/time goal to make it a little harder to reach 100%

It helped that we were already engaged and had a wedding date.  Not sure what would have happened if we had been earlier in our relationship.

Thanks Jen - I thought I needed to add something...

I will re-state the ban on talking about the Stages for 24 hours too so we can avoid a repeat of last year!

I might do a 'team update' or something at the end of each week or something instead of daily updates or something like that... Im thinking about leaving the updates out of my training log this year too...

i guess that makes sense - as in the relationship was already established...

Wouldn't be a bad thing.  Otherwise, I might not inspire you in July. 

I think people got over-excited about things on both sides.  Kinda got blown out of proportion.

Well the other alternative is to do it the next day my time so you have to jump a day ahead in my log if you want  the previous days action...

Ive had requests for me to do - and others say they cant visit my log in July so Im torn.

I know Im very obsessive about the Tour, and I know thats a lot for people to take in sometimes but hey! a girl needs interests... its just the same as people who are obsessive about their training schedules!

Im sure you will pick it up quick... just watch a little and ask questions Im always happy to help... its my favourite bit about the tour - getting others interested in it!

Thats part of why I loved the challenge last year... it gave people who 'didnt get it' (for want of a better expression) a team and riders to follow which made watching a bit of the event much easier!

I haven't been to work for three weeks Can't say I miss it, but I do need to make a little money this summer. I have a pretty big race entry that needs to be paid.

I forgot that you're off for the summer.... sounds like it's time to teach some privates?



Ooh. Can I sign up? I need some serious lessons.


Hm, me too. And I'm not all THAT far from SC, either.... :/

Hmmm since i already have a few team requests: Garmin Chipotle, CSC, Quickstep, Agritubel - maybe I should start putting together my team info and rider profiles!
