Moses Lake Family Tri (Page 2)

I need some OWS practice--hopefully some body of water is warm enough by the end of May in order to get some swimming in!!

At the event, we ought to do some swimming the evening beforehand to get used to the water/course etc.  We could all go grab some pasta afterward or something like that.  Lynne and I are carpooling and I am gonna work on getting her to work a short day so we can check out the course (even though it looks pretty much straight and flat) and enjoy the evening with other triathletes.  That's half of the fun if you ask me!!

Is everyone sticking to their training plans pretty well?

Having a peep avatar is the 'punishment' for teams that didn't win the March challenge. Avatars will return to 'normal' on May 1!  Unless there is a loss in the April challenge, but strangely enough, I don't know what losers have to do for that one. I should check, I am a team leader!  (Go Mighty Moose!)  Challenges are a great way to stay motivated and meet other BTers.  Really fun, I recommend them!  You can find challenges in the "Challenge Me" thread.

luno - 2008-04-25 7:00 PM Runrachierun, Just a quick word of advice if I might, if you're ultra competitive, don't hold back, I made that mistake. I listened to other people who really stressed to me that I just needed to be happy crossing the finish line for my first race which led me to slack quite a bit in the run, which I really didn't need, because I had convinced myself I wasn't competitive, well, long story short, I missed 3rd place by 38 seconds. If you're competitive, embrace it, go for it. Just my opinion...

Hey-Liz and I were wondering if you were still on BT!  What races are you doing this year?

Hi all -

this is a GREAT race.  My first oly was this race last year and I will be back again this year.

I also did the sprint the year before.

If you want to read my race report....here it is.

The bike is mostly flat...a bit like Lake Sam/Issaquah.  Run is totally FLAT>

See you out there.

It's Cinco De Mayo--the restaurants and stores want you to think that you need to have that tonight.  If you do, make sure you had your workout and drank your water!!  There's a low calorie margarita recipe on my mentor thread (Beth and Yanti's Manatees).

Wow, just over a month!  I need to get in the lake and practice wetsuit swimming and removal ASAP!  I think I am going to do the sprint tri in Elma on May 26 for practice.....
