Evondo's Group - FULL (Page 98)

Sorry to hear about your grandfather!  Hope everything is ok.

Glad you're feeling better!

Betsy covered most of our plans but we'll also be anxiously awaiting a race report come Sunday afternoon

Thanks for the well wishes for my grandfather.  My brother says he seems to be making progress; although, he hasn't been the same since my grandmother died.  (I mean when are you married for like 60+ years, it does have an affect when they are gone.)

I choose to ignore Todd's comment.    

If you're able to crack that shell I'll be impressed! I can at least help ya out getting her to the race site

Maybe we can see Kelli racing!

Well I have a year+ to work on it. I plan on wearing her down over time. Once she is at her ropes end you can just click the mouse for her.

That would be so cool.  Kelli post your wave and number ASAP.

Ok, I'm jumping on this band wagon too   Do it, Betsy, do it!!!!  You know you want to.  Wait until you see how much fun we have out there this year.....you're gonna be one of the first on line to sign up for 2010

I won't know my wave (it's either 13 or 14 though) or number until I pick up my race packet, which I don't think will happen until tomorrow morning.  Once I know will post for sure.

haha... I don't succumb to peer pressure!  Nice try though.

I watched the fun torture last year at Longhorn.  I have no problems watching again this year! 

I think the cracking is starting.....notice the key words here....."watching this year".  i think BvD is secretly trying to tell us that she's in for next year.....woot woot!

If Betsy signs up for next year... I'll sign up - even if it's a week before IMFL   Gotta support the peeps! 

I have been swamped at work lately and limited on my free BT posting time... I am feeling like I have been neglecting the fun.  Doing few and far between - touch and go's on the ol' posts. 

Kelli is gonna have another great PRIME TIME race in New York City (heavy drawl on the words...)

I hope everyone has a great weekend... Get in some great training Todd, the vD's need to be careful in your travels and I hope your Grandpa does well.  Nicole gets to enjoy her new place... "moving on up...to the east side!"

I am gonna work in some much needed training... still not sure about an OWS on Sunday.  That's a want, but I NEED some run & bike time!  The wife has been sick and still having to work, so I may have to devote some extra time around the house, so she can get some rest and get better for her 2nd week back at work.

Looking forward to your RR Kelli!  Race Hard and have a blast!  You'll do Awesome!

Have a great weekend all!  Will post race number & swim wave/time manana.  I'm out...woo hoo!

Race number for tomorrow is 1597....my swim wave takes off at 6.26.

I swam in the Hudson River and still have 10 fingers and 10 toes....wo0 hoo!

Today was a solid race!  And I have to say, I really like the oly distance.  Will do a RR later on, here's the results for now.....
Swim - 19:46 (1:11/100)
T1 - 6:41
Bike - 1:30:06 (16.5)
T2 - 1:45
Run - 53:08 (8:34)
2:51:24

Smoking fast race! You must have chick'd tons of people with that run time! Congrats!

Awesome race there Miss Speedy. Real good looking run and the swim was smoking and solid bike!! Looking forward to see the RR. 

Good Morning all and happy Monday. Yes put on those happy smiling faces and rejoyce in the fact another week has started. I guess I had my first real bad week of training. Nothing I really could have done about it. So its just one of those things.

Kelli - I see there was an Underwear run, I am assuming you participated.

Nice race Kelli!  Way to be speedy!  Glad you enjoyed the Oly!

Underwear run... lol!  Our sweet Kelli would never participate in such an event...   Buuut, if you did... Todd wants to see the fun pics! lol!

Great race Kelli!  You are getting sooo damn fast... It's gonna be a blast watching you and Eric, just tear up the race course in Austin!

Happy Monday!  Feeling so unrested today... over tired last night, and did not sleep well at all.  Had a great bike with our fearless leader/mentor... or atleast it started out that way.  I suffered the two flats in a row, thanks to a hole in the rim tape of my front wheel.  Eric helped me out after the turn around and got me back on the road.  And we headed back in against a pretty tough wind.  Let me just say... Homie can ride y'all.  Doing 24mph with a slight tailwaind heading out (before the flatty goodness) and Evondo was steadily pulling away... 26ish+.  Sickening!  Gotta be his youthful enthusiasm...

I hope everyone had a great weekend of racing, training and of course MOVING! Here's to a great week for everyone! *cheers* ~ clank of coffee mugs!!!

While I do love running around in my underwear.....I was out on this one.  Had to get some more time in the saddle instead.

RR is done - http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=171763&posts=1&start=1

Nice RR KD! 

Happy Tuseday gang! 

I agreed to meet the vD's at the park for an hour or so of pain on the ol' bike.  After backing out the past few weeks, I am finally gonna suck it up, and let these two uber bikers spank my tail.  Too bad, Kelli, Todd and Nicole couldn't show up and absorb some of this pain too!  I feel so alone... lol!

Come on now, it's not going to be that bad! You're training for an IM... time to HTFU! Honestly though if schedule is tough to fit in the mileage the best thing you can do is some high quality 20-30mi bikes to push your VO2max/threshold higher. Just have to remember on race day to back it off those paces and you'll be good to go!

i wish I was close enough to join you guys for a pain-fest!!!  I'd gladly show up.  And Justin...you know you like it
