Had a great first half of week, was -2 for the week.  had a weekend of celebrations for my parents 50th weddding anniversary and my sweet tooth finally broke me down.  Sorry team (and self).

Discipline I'm working on: uh, yea, that'd be swimming. There are days when I wonder why it is that I'm not a duathlete. :) But - it's coming along. I don't think I'll drown this year. Or even require lifeguard assistance (of course, that's sometimes a good way to meet cute guys....)

And this week officially starts my HIM training (first HIM for me!), so I'm expecting that the weight loss will come along with it. It was my birthday this past weekend, so I had a couple of days of abundant eating, but now I'll be back on track.

Weight today: 216.7

Weight last week: 217.8

Loss from last week: -1.1  

Loss for challenge: 7.3lbs

Team: 3 (Monkey Madness)  

Which sport, of the primary three, are you currently focused on improving?

Good question. I focus most on running right now but having been a Runner for 6 years now I know the running will improve tremendously when loosing more weight. So I guess it is swimming for me....

Weight Today: 249

Weight Last Week: 253.5

Change: -4.5

Team: Monkey Madness (3)

Loss for challenge: 8 Lbs !!!!!!!!!

Which sport, of the primary three, are you currently focused on improving?  I'm really trying to improve my run speed.  I have always had decent endurance while running but not much speed.  I think alot of this has been due to the extra weight I am carrying.  A couple of seasons ago I was running a comfortable 8:30/mile pace for a 5k in a sprint tri (at about 235 lbs).  Now I'm having trouble with keeping a pace anywhere near that.  I know I'm starting to go longer distances so I won't keep my 5k pace on a 10k but I've really want to get some speed back.

Weight Today:  277

Weight Last Week: 277.5

Change: -0.5 for this week, still not back to beginning weight of 275.

While I wish the scale were kinder to me, at least it is going in the right direction (finally.)

Which sport are you focusing on?

Running - I suck at this.  Also, focusing on weight loss, which is not a sport, but still very important for me.

Weight today: 195 lbs
Weight last week: 199 lbs
Starting: 197.5 lbs

Loss from last week: 4 lbs
Loss for challenge: 2.5 lbs

Which sport, of the primary three, are you currently focused on improving?  Running - I'm recovering from a nasty case of ITBS and it's slow going right now.  Started back with a mile and this week I'm up to 3 miles.

Team: Abekat Anarchy (1)

Which sport, of the primary three, are you currently focused on improving?

I'm trying to improve all 3 sports right now: 
Swimming:  Masters Swim twice a week, with the best masters program in the city.
Biking:  Volume, Volume, Volume
Running:  Lose weight, and I'll get faster

Weight Today: 176.5

Weight Last Week: 177.5

Which sport, of the primary three, are you currently focused on improving? Running, for sure.  I just barely have the distance for a 10K, but I'm slower than Christmas. I remember in my first sprint race, I got passed by just about everyone, and the only two folks I passed were walking, and one of them was injured from a fall on the bike ride. I'd love to get under a 10min/mile consistently.  I can do it on a 5K, but it about kills me!

Weight Today: 221
 
Weight Last Week: 222.5

Change: -1.5  * I just had my worst week of training all year. Missed 2 runs and a bike session last week. Not sure how I continued to lose weight. I guess my metabolism is running a bit faster and eating right has helped to. If I ever put together a full week of workouts AND a full week of eating right, watch out!

Which sport, of the primary three, are you currently focused on improving? Running for sure, look at my logs. It would seem I dont even own a bike (I do). I haven't even considered swimming. I dont belong to a gym and do all my swimming in OW. Swimming won't start for me until May probably unless I join a gym. I am focusing on trying to become a runner, training for a late May marathon.

Weight Today: 278.6
Weight Last Week: 276.6
Change: +2Lbs

 - This doesn't make any sense!!  I'm going to weigh again tomorrow morning.  I did a great job last week and I simply will not accept a GAIN after all that effort! (This is not the way to start a Monday!)

Which sport, of the primary three, are you currently focused on improving? I'm focusing mostly on the run right now.  I swim like a fish (that's dead and tied to a brick) so I'm saving that for last.  I'm trying to improve on the run to build up my confidence.  Biking is okay, and usually just a matter of time in the saddle for me.
