    It's Friday!!! I'm really looking forward to getting out there this weekend and enjoying the trails and getting a little dirty.

    Any other Mountain Bike people out there?

    I've been absent around here too. Trying to rest up for the Olympic tri tomorrow! :bigsmile: The only riding I've done the last couple days is riding w/ my hubby on the motorcycle. :laugh:

    will make sure to post a report after the race when I can!

    Hello spitfires!

    I was just wondering if I could join this club, if its too late I understand. I just got a road bike, I still have to get a mile tracker (or whatever they are called) but I plan on getting one today... I have been riding about 4 times a week. I will be riding a lot in a week after I'm done with coaching vb camps. Please let me know what I need to do, thank you!

    It's not too late. Just send a msg to spyguy with you weekly mileage goal, then on sunday night msg him again with your actual mileage total and he posts them, usually by monday evening. Welcome!!:drinker:

    Well... I did it!! My first Olympic distance triathlon!!!!!!! 1.5K (.9 mile) swim, 40K (24+ mile bike), and 10K (6.2 mile) run. Felt great and even though the temp was 57* at the start (in July, isn't that crazy?? :huh: ), the water temp was 76*.

    I finished in 2 hrs, 57 min, 42 seconds. My goal was 3:05 and my secret goal was to go sub-3. I blew that out of the water!!!! Woohoo!! :drinker:

    Swim: 38.29 (2:21/ 100yd- I am not the strongest swimmer, so I was happy to be under 40 min!)
    T1: 1:47
    Bike: 1:20:54 (18.4 mph)
    T2: 1:44
    Run: 54:46 (8:49 pace)

    It was pretty hilly and windy out there, so I'm even happier with my times! And the course was long, according to my Garmin I ran 6.7 (8:08 pace if you go by that!!!!).

    Happy to be done!!!!

    Nice job. I was sucked into a relay tri today and did the run. I love my bike and was jealous that my hubby did the bike leg.

    I could never do a tri. Well, more accurately I could never do a tri and get any kind of decent time. I really, really am a horrible swimmer. The race would be long over, organizers at home, and I would still be out there bobbing around in the water somewhere.

    Hello everyone;

    A quick introduction of myself . I have been a member here since July/08 and started cycling in Aug/08. I met my goal of being 200 Lbs in April of 09. Since that point life got a little crazy & I have gained 10 lbs back. So back to making time for myself and keeping myself in shape.

    As a result I came back here to track my calories and get some motivation. When I saw the cycling group I was quite happy as I knew that it would be a way to get me back on the bike. Last Sunday was the 1st ride of the year (26 miles). I sent spyguy my goal of 60 miles for the week and after todays 40mile ride I ended up with 70 for the week.

    Look forward to chit chat and community. Good luck and remember, " be safe, ride safe "

    My mileage for the week was 105. Not enough to make up my 14 mile deficit, but enough to put a dent in it.

    I couldn't resist the gorgeous day today! Was going to rest, but ended up heading out for a ride around 5:30. :wink: Got in 18 miles solo, and then my 8yo dd wanted to go for a ride so we went 3.5 miles. Not much of a real *ride* for me, but fun to be with her. :bigsmile:
