Had my first OWS today.  Not bad, but wow that water tasted horrible.  Any tips on getting over that?

About to go for a 45-50 mile ride now.

It's my 30th birthday so I went for a 34 mile bike and a quick run after!  Great start to a new decade

41 mile bike to a triathlon in progress. I could never sign up because of a possible conflict that dissolved. It was my first and was sad to see everyone going at it without me.

I did my first ever sprint tri today. What a cool experience. I hope to write up a report later today, but now I think I'll take a nap.

Have an outstanding weekend!

Did a super sprint this a.m., that hurt. Having the needle pegged for an hour is rough, think I 'd rather do an Olympic.

Right now I'm waiting for my husband to return from his 80 mile ride. Then we can get the truck packed up and hit the road. I'm racing tomorrow and we're camping near the race site tonight. I've already washed the dog, gathered sleeping bags and air mattresses, collected the necessary food, packed my transition bag and did a load of laundry. Nerves? Maybe. I hate waiting around.

It's already 100 degrees out, so I did my 4 miles inside on the track. 4 miles in 34:17, that's about an 8:35 pace. Pretty pleased!

I which we had sun. It's oddly rainy and cool here for this time of year.

I'll get in an hour on my trainer and then an OWS if I have time.

Lots of amazing stuff from everyone, and a little sad note from BuBu though his ride was impressive.

28:32 hard but steady effort ocean swim for me.

Did a sprint today (300 yds, 12.7 miles, 5k).   Improved by 10 minutes over last year but was hoping for a little more.  I guess I can't complain.  1/1 in my age group (65-69).

At the firehouse today, so I bloodied my knuckles on the heavy bag (went wraps only) for 30 minutes, interspersed with rest periods doing push-ups.  Maybe a bike ride later tonight.

I did a S/B/R brick this morning.  ~2000 yards OWS, 14 Mile Bike, & 2 mile run. (7 mile warmup & 7 mile cooldown rides as well)

Then my wife & daughter wanted to go to the pool this afternoon so I just swam laps while they did their thing.  I wasn't counting but probably clocked another mile or so.

tonight we have a 16 mile casual bike ride.  Some night owl thing my wife signed us up for.  I'll be taking my mountain bike.

My mom lives in Shelton -- she's wondering if she's ever going to see summer this year. I told her she could have some of ours!

Wow! You've had an amazing day.

I did a 21 mile bike ride this morning, kind of late, so it was 100 when I got home at 10:45 a.m. Ouch. But it was a really fun ride. Saw two crop dusters, and one of them buzzed me. It was a blast!

Took the kiddos to see Winnie the Pooh; almost fell asleep, but they loved it, so worth it. Also purchased new running shoes today -- Saucony Grid. They feel comfy and my Achilles wasn't screaming. I won't run in them until after I see the doctor on Tuesday, but I think I'm working through this. My Achilles doesn't ache much at all any more.

I hope everyone has a great evening.
