I'll make a spread sheet that will track each "event" and give us a running total. I'll try to get it done this weekend and figur out how to link it to the site. Then I'll try to keep it updated regularly.

You can put me down for 250 miles on the bike and 20000 meters/yards in the pool.  Im not supposed to run but I will be doing the elliptical machine to keep those muscles in some type of shape.

Thanks, the spreadsheet looks great. 

HELLO!   I'm back after a miserable end to February.  Long story short, Ambulance accident during the last snowstorm, sick kid, long work hours...  Kid's better, ambulance is in the repair shop and work has settled down. 

So by losing the last week and a half my February numbers:

Goals for March:

This contest sound like a plan...  Using my average speed in the pool and on the bike my numbers should be:

I am already behind, but will make up my time (atleast that is my plan).

Lisa - on my trainer I work off of the bike computer that gives me that information.  I have never been to a spin class.  Ask and see if the bikes have some sort of computer that calculates distance.  If not just log minutes.  Training is training and you get the benefit either way

Don't let the schedule thing get you down (this is for you too Tad).  There are many times work or family get in the way of training.  Most of the time those two things should be a higher priority.  Just roll with it.

It is alot like what my canoe instructor taught me many years ago when we ran our first whitewater (which I hated then and am still scared silly over).  Don't fight the river flow with it.

You guys are doing great!

Man I had the swim of my life today!  I have never swam that far this fast!

Here is the updated "race" sheet through this morning..  Looks like Steve is pulling away in the swim. The other Steve (who can ride outdoors ) is setting a high bar on the bike, and I have a slight edge with the run.

Everyone keep up the good work and let me know if I missed or messed up anything.

Peace

Today it is sunny with a high of 73.  Needless to say I will be taking an outside bike ride this PM as the time change gives me an extra hour to play.  

Just rubbing it in for you guys (thats y'all in GA) in the great white north. 

I think that the guy who rides outside in 73 degree weather (and rubs it in) should have a handicap - Like having to drag a 70 pound trailer behind him or something   Soak up that sun for me!  Good job everyone.

 Ken - my running goal for this month in minutes is 360 minutes.  Thanks.

I had spring fever until today's forecast:

1"-2" of SNOW! 

It's been 70+ here for the past few days.  Even sat outside at 10pm last night at the fire station listening to the peepers and BS'ing.  Rudely interrupted by a sick gentleman at a nursing home...

supposed to be ~70 today and I hope to get my first "real" bike ride in instead of one of those wheel-less ones. 

30 degrees and sleet tomorrow....  Ugh!

I am loving this weather.  Got on my longest ride to date yesterday at 40+ miles averaging 18+ mph. 

What is this "snow" thing y'all speak of??

Updated spread sheet through this moring.

Looks like everyone is coming along nicely on their monthly goals.
