Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() That's awesome, I'm really looking forward to volunteering for the first time at TriGirl. Not sure what I'm doing yet but told them as long as I'm on the race course I don't care ![]() Nothing like bike upgrades! I just finished buying all of mine for this year at least ![]() Trin2bfast - 2009-07-13 10:11 AM evondo - 2009-07-13 9:23 AM Forgot to ask... How was volunteering at the race? It was fun volunteering! My wife and I had a good time cheering the riders on! It may have motivated the wife too. It wasn't miserably hot and so many of the riders seemed to really like all the cheers and well wishes! Ready for the century? I am just looking to log the miles and spend the time in the saddle. It is more of a mental strength builder for me than a physical experience. It will be tough, I am sure of that...but I am only looking to avg 17-18, and just build the confidence of being in the saddle for 6+ hours. There will be other opportunities to push the pace over that distance for IMFL in the coming weeks. For my first century, I thought it would be good to have a supported ride to go out with. New cranks felt good... much smoother. Now if I can get new bars & a new Adamo... I should be on track for better time on the bike. |

![]() | ![]() I was eyeing the vision base/aero set up... Fattyfatfat has a brand new setup that came with the new bike (never mounted) used other bars I guess. I am gonna look at those and see if that is what I want. If not, then I WILL definitely be checking out the TOTR offer. Maybe I could meet you up there one afternoon (you and Mike seem to have a much better raport with them then I do). |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Phew....and hooray!!! I wasn't quite clear about that....thanks. ![]() evondo - 2009-07-14 9:02 AM Being the nosy person I am I looked at those results and you did come in 2nd in the AG... The girl that won your AG according to compuscore actually got 3rd overall, so she got that award not the AG award ![]() KelliD - 2009-07-13 2:47 PM RR is done - http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=169214 There were some pretty good photos from the day, so I'll add them in later. At the awards ceremony I was announced as 2nd in the 30-34 AG, but Compuscore has me listed as 3rd.....I'm thinking there was a little error yesterday ![]() |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Today started off with an event you hear about happening, but you're never there or never think you'd be around to witness this happen. On the subway on my way to work this morning a guy jumped in front of our train. I generally sit in one of the first few cars, and by the time the train stopped (pretty quickly) the guy was between the car I was in and the one behind. Shockingly, he was still alive....but threatening to grab one of the rails that was still live. I didn't stick around and the police were clearing out the station, so I don't know what ultimately happened. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Wow that is crazy! I'll have to look for that on the news now so I can say I have a friend who was there ![]() KelliD - 2009-07-15 9:38 AM Today started off with an event you hear about happening, but you're never there or never think you'd be around to witness this happen.

I don't know that I have ever known someone to survive that experience. Inconsiderate A-hole... throwing himself in front of the train and disrupting everyone else's schedule so he can attempt to off himself... some people are so damn stupid! Sorry you had to deal with that crap... |

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() *wolf whistle* Nice pic kelli! ![]() After reading your insane subway story yesterday I heard this country song on the radio that made me think of you. The chorus went something like: "God is great, beer is good, people are crazy" Hi everyone. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Finally back to the office today only to take off tomorrow. WI was pretty nice and those 78-80 degree days are nice to run in. Awesome RR Kelli. I am so excited you did so well. Your hard work has paid off. Hmmm it hasnt rained in forever here in TX and the weekend I plan to go float the river they are calling for T-Storms, of course. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() That's still AWESOME Kelli! Hi Nicole. ![]() Don't worry Todd. It's not going to rain...only like 20% chance or something. |
![]() ![]() |
Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() It's supposed to rain here as well!! It's been so nice to far this month. I just jumped on the bandwagon for a last minute girls weekend away which was supposed to include a day at the beach. Our beach day now calls for a 70% chance of t-storms. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() All depends on what you call 'ready', see my friend's training log natron3... he's signed up for the race, it might hurt him a bit but I'm sure he'll get it done ![]() Newtons1st - 2009-07-16 2:36 PM KelliD - 2009-07-16 1:41 PM Guess who's headed to TX!!!!
