Let's make a triathlon - CANCEL. (Page 10)

I'm starting to think that it might be easier for all involved if we just keep all the hanging out right there in the park.  Unless people still want to come over to my place (and I'm more than willing to host a party if there's enough interest),  then maybe we just eat and drink there.

Please let me know though.  I don't want anyone to feel obligated - just post a note opting for either bbq and beer at my place or picnicing in the park.

Sounds good to me. Then it is more of a picnic with some crazy people swimming, biking and running.

Hey Kristin, I think I might join you for that training at Spring Mill Pond.  I may wear my Greyhound tri shirt, simply because I need to train in it.  I like to train.  I may end up then hanging around and enjoying food with Eric and friends for post-training nutrition.

Oh, rottie, if you're going to just hang out and chit-chat after your swim, would you mind watching my bike while I run?  It's better training if I don't take the time to tuck it into my car and such.

Train.

No.  The triathlon canceled.

Since it's cancel I have nothing to do Sunday morning.  So I decide to go to ILRA and do some swim/bike/run training.  I will probably at Spring Mill Pond around 9:30 - 10:00am  tomorrow.  Maybe I will see some of my triathlon friends there since that is a very common place for triathlon training...

do you want to join?

Train. LMAO!! Train. You're awesome. Train.

I don't know if anyone is going out to IRLA tomarrow but I would like to do some OWS and then mabe 2 laps on the bike followed by a 6ish mile run. If available I will be there around 9 and will the procede the workout @10. If you would like I also would like to hang out after and maybe eat some food. See you in the morning whomever

Hmmm...training with friends...that sounds like fun!  I'll come with my freind Jogo, and we will train with whomever shows up! 

I'm looking forward to chow afterwards too...my favorite part of training...refueling! :-)

I'll bring some sort of salad fixins.

Alright... I'm on the train, train as well!

you cannot have bananas and watermelon without strawberries.  I will bring some with me so you can try this combination.  I may bring a mini-grill with me too, because the above fruit goes really, really well with a veggie burger. 

train

There are actually grills there, so unless you're bringing a gas one don't bother.  I personally planned on bringing a bunch of hot dogs I have left over from a party I had planned, plus some charcoal.  I might also bring a pasta salad too since OWS and biking tends to leave me really hungry.

Ooh!  I want to play!!


"Yeah, too bad it's cancelled.  Since my first race is in 2 weeks, I might head out on my own to get some open water swimming at ILRA.  Then I might go right into a bike/run brick while I'm there.

Someone said there may be some grills there, and it *MIGHT* be right around lunch time when I'm done.  I'm having a hankering for some grilled vegetables, but for the life of me, I always seem to make too much.

If anyone happens to be in the area around 9-ish to noonish, feel free to come help me get rid of them. "

coincidentally, my wife, daughter and I were planning on driving over to ILRA on Sunday morning. I thought i might go for a swim to cool off before I head out on my bike. I'm doing the tour de cure there in June... so I wanted to scope the site out. After I bike, I typically like to run a bit... just to see if I can engage any squirrels in a game of tag.  So... perhaps I'll see some of you there... we plan to get there between 9 and 9:30.

 

Well, I just came back from getting the Catsup, mustard, BBQ sauce & pickels for the condiments I promised, so I am still in for training. I am planning on getting there around 9:30ish and in the water by 10:00. I need all the training I can get. I am still having an achilles issue so I will likely only swim and bike (2 loops), then eat, eat and eat somemore. I guess I will have to find some additional food to bring with me!

See people there tomorrow whoever shows!

Are we meeting at the same parking area as last year (go straight through the guardhouse and 1st one on the left?).

Dan, I can't speak for anyone else that may be training at the same time I'm training, but I will be parking at Spring Mill Pond.  Right at the guard shack and keep driving until you see water on your left. 

Hi everybody.  I don't know what everyone else is doing tomorrow, but I need to train.  Since I've seen lots of the areas around the Lansing area, I think I'll drive west for 45 miles and head to the ILRA to train tomorrow morning.  It'll only be around 49 degrees, but I plan to arrive by 9:30am and then go for a swim at 10am.  After the swim I like to dry off by riding my bike so I'll sprint around the park a little bit.  To work up an appetite I'll probably run 3.3 miles or so afterward.  Since I'm doing all that I'll see if my wife and 2 kids want to come along and bring a veggie tray with them.  If anyone else is training in the area maybe I'll see you there.

Hello everyone,

Newbie here. Just wanted to say I'll probably be out that way around 9 or 10 in the morning. I think I'll probably bring my bike. Said bike may even be ridden my yours truly at some point. And you know...I might go for a little jaunt afterwards. I won't be swimming as I still don't have my wetsuit (May 26th!!!) or a tri suit (don't know which one I want).

Maybe I'll run into some of you!

I will be at Spring Mill Pond some time between 8:00 and 8:30 to "practice" setting up my transition area.  If anyone wants to join me and swap tips or maybe even warm up/shoot the before my brick workout I drive a green Tahoe.  I will be at the west end of the P-lot.

I believe water temp is 55 - 60 tomorrow.  If I decided to do some swim training tomorrow at 10 in the morning, do you think I can survive without a swimsuit?

Without a wetsuit, yes but you'll be cold.  Without a swimsuit, no...none of us will. 

HAHAHAAAAAHAHA!!!!

ok I will swim with swimsuit tomorrow.

Jamie and I will still be out at ILRA tomorrow for some "training".  We are bring along some chips and Texas Caviar for all to enjoy.  Don't worry about the name.. it's basically like a salsa.

See you all tomorrow!
