Absolutely brutal Xterra triathlon this morning- good news is I didn't die. Pretty decent swell currently so the swim was interesting. Usually my best discipline but I struggled this morning. After the swim it's about a 1/4 mile run to transition to grab the bike. I had ridden the bike course a few weeks ago so I knew what to expect. Overall the bike went well. Run course was 4 miles, that included a mile long climb up a steep fire road, and an equally steep descend for about 1/2 mile. The last mile was nice slight downhill through a small canyon,. I had a great run despite all my worries I wasn't ready. Overall I finished 5th in my age group which surprised me that I did so well, or the others in my age group did crappy Finish time was 3:13 Time for a beer and a nap

Rest days don't have to be a day of nothing, just something different nd lower intensity. Go for a long walk or easy bike ride maybe?

Nicotine invades our minds and makes us think crazy dumb thoughts when it comes to quitting An opponent to be respected for sure, and one I never want to face again, although I am mightier

I'll be traveling next week for a few weeks. I remember hating airports and going through TSA multiple times so I could go outside and smoke. Hotels sucked also because smoking was difficult. How awesome is it that now i'm worried about finding a lap pool and what type of equipment they have in the fitness center er.

Those un motivated days when you dig deep and get it done anyways are definitely a self confidence boost. Way to go Katgirl!

NOPE!!

Great work Mommabear your hard work is paying off. Don’t let your guard down but it gets easier from here!!

Getting it done- solid progress for me and i'm seeing and feeling the results! Xterra offroad triathlon next weekend which is gonna be brutal, then 8 weeks to LA Triathlon. Swims and cycling I have no worries- running is my weakness and while it's progressed i'm far from ready

hopefully the getting blown all night (by the fan) helped out the psyche today-

I quit- so can you All it takes is some dedication and some great company!!

stay tuned for more tips!

Steady consistent work pays off- remember while you're burning off the fat you're also gaining muscle which weighs more.

NOPE!

Congrats Gus!! thank you for the support you bring to the group!!!

Thats awesome at any age Katgirl! Im proud of you too The best part of any workout is recovery

Awesome job Kris stick with it never quit the quit

Headed to Laguna Coast this morning to mountain bike the bike course for Xterra triathlon in a few weeks. There's some brutal climbs right away- about 4.5 miles up a ridge to the top then another 5 miles of up n down. Very challenging trails but i've put in the work and enjoyed the ride. Looks like i'll be riding plenty of hills next few weeks to prepare.

Hi Linda glad you're here! Hope you feel better soon!!!!

NOPE

Todays almost over, but it's been NOPE from the start
