Jeff - is a lot of stuff when you lay it out. Patrick has his first tri end of Aug and is thinking of biking/running in his suit (it's a super sprint). Either that or pulling bike shorts on over swimsuit.

Mike - I have no idea why you did not want to ride there. Ohio street beach work out well?

Cindy - congrats!!

Carrie - WTG!!!

Got out for 40 mile bike Sat including two 20mph sustained sprints. Felt good.
I've got a 10 mile trail run this Sat then RnR Chicago the following Sunday so swimming will suffer a bit next two weeks. Have the Super Sprint end of Aug so need to get in some swim time in Lake Michigan.

Is it safe to say you and Patrick are not doing the super-sprint in Woodridge Aug 16? I am thinking about going back down there but have not decided. I have done that one multple times. Fast race and home by 10.

Todd nailed it from the blue line! The doors to the pool are locked unless a lifeguard unlocks them. I've never gotten the stink eye for spinning without an instructor present. Did you go on the Saturday AM in winter to Gary's class? Training partner and me used to get in there at 0600 or so for the 0730 start....

It takes a lot for me to ride inside an more. I have ridden Gary's Sat class but I probably ride outside with him more in the winter than actually go to his class.

Thanks Mike!!

Hmm, don't have anything going on that morning. Looks like fun. Patrick is even thinking he'd be good for it (swim is less than Chicago which would allow him some real competition style workout).

A picture paints a thousand words...so here's a novel.

My video site was hacked, so please go to my Facebook profile page, and look for my video's there.

Great job and congratulations!!

You are a triathlete.

I love your presentation. You are smiling the whole time, except for the massage. You look like a natural out there. When is your next tri?

 

[jmasgat]

Yahoo, Jeff! Great job--but I have come to expect great things out of you.

Congrats Jeff!!!! You did great!

So like me do you already know you have to do another?

 

[mkymsehi]

Mahalo everyone!

Liz, I'm looking for something. But here they can be pricey.

There is some celebrity thing coming up in August, it's $85.

Jeff - is a $$ for a sprint. Even the one big event in Chicago is only $55. Sure you'll find something. Beautiful place to do a tri though. (BTW, we are on for the Dec marathon in 2010)

Todd - you still thinking over the Woodridge tri? More I think about it, more I want to do it.

Mike - Patick got first email for Madison. We'll get in Friday night as he has meeting and route ride thru Sat morning. Staying until Monday as we have no idea when he'll actually be done Sunday.

Just say the word and I will register. Toni has given me the green light.

 

[twoWDWfools]

Ok, I'm going to register for the Woodridge tri. Nice short distance real close to home. And cheap.

Cool deal. I won't be by myself.

I have not done a tri since April 08 so it shuold be fun.

I need some shoe advice....

My Tri bike shoes are about dead & I am looking for new ones. I need some that are wide at the ball of my foot forward. I currently use Lake 460's, but they are VERY tight on my feet (width wise) so I need some that are a more comfortable fit.

Any Ideas?? TIA!!

Hey guys! Was doing some research for a shirt fro myself adn found some places that do team tri shirts. Please let me knwo if you'd be interested in a WISH tri shirt. i really miss having my WISH shirt for tri's and if others are in the same boatr, let me know. I think I cam mix and mathc with bike shirts to. Still every preliminary but if there's no interest, I'd like to know.

 

[twoWDWfools]

Hi Carrie - I think WISH tri and bike shirts would be cool! I know Patrick would like them as well. Hopefully there is some interest. Thanks!

 

[mkymsehi]

YES, YES, YES!!! Thanks Carrie, wonderful idea!

 

[wtpclc]

OK, working on teh shirts. Not easy to do and may have out of reach minimums, but will let you know.

Huge milestone this week. Finaly did an open water practice. I did 0.81 miles!!!! New record fro me. FOund my groove and i think I oculd keep going forever. Well, at least I could go teh 1 mile fro Chicago. My pace aws not too bad either. NOw, I just need not to try to sprint in race situtaitons. that messes me up adn I can't rbeathe and then I end up side stroking.

 

[mkymsehi]

Carrie, a newbie I know is interested in a bike shirt. I'm responding for him.

I'll check if Marcia wants one as well.
