I HATE that i will have to do it on my moutain bike. Would much prefer a road bike or one of those flat bar bikes with skinny tires. but no money for that!

I actually managed to swim 20 laps front crawl only. so thats 25yards times 20. 500 yards! Yaaah. My first tri is 400 yard swim but i know its going to be different to being in the pool. Hoping i can do 30-40 laps by then.

Wow great advise. Its in 3 weeks on June 8th i think. Thanks so much for your advise! It REALLY helps me!

HI Kat. Yep i looked into a wetsuit. But nothing in my size really. So i took a suggestion and got a Singlet top for Tri and shorts seperately as they say this is less constriting. I look HORRIBLE in them. Question for you: When you swim does everyone do front crawl/freestyle? I can swim along way on breast stroke but i am trying to bring up my front crawl . I can do 150 yards now with front crawl only and its coming along. Right now i can do 5 or 6 laps front crawl(freestyle) and then i have to do 50 yards on breaststroke (two lengths) to recover. Its coming up fast as before i could only do 1 length. The first one is 400 yard swim which would be 16 lengths. But i figure its cold and might be waves..so if i can do 25 lengths non stop freestyle i should be ok.

Salsa! thanks! your AMAZING too. For a woman your loss is incrediable! I know you have been working flippin hard. Good luck with the surgery. I cant wait untill i have to say..i need to stop losing. Ill just eat an extra candy bar..lol.

HI guys checkin in with my August buddies. Salsa...i keep forgetting we are so close on banding. Well since Aug 07 im down 169! cant complain at that

Thanks Salsa. Yeah i have seen pouchs for 5 dollars on ebay for them. Good info!

JM!!!!!!!!! Your BACK!!!!!!! YOu rock for getting back into it. I just got my Triathlon clothes and treid them on and boy do i look scary. I had my wife take a picture but its way scary.!!!

Hey lady !!! Your back!! Im still spinning away. Got to love it! Thinking about buying one of those new nike + sportbands for running. Anyone use one of them?

You keep it up guys. I got my wife starting week 3 next week. Now i can do a 5k 3x a week and a 10k once a week.

Fran...you could do week 2 no pronlem!! I got full confidence in you!

Hey guys thanks for all the replies. Ceradad...yeah i think we are close in our journey as far as fittness goes. But you have got a lot less to lose than me at this point. No big deal..ill get there. Salsa!!! your insperational too! I am doing a 10 k soon. Hopefully by the end of the summer ill be ready for a half marathon. Right now i have found that 10k is my high limit. I did one on friday morning and i was sore the next day. I pretty much am up to 5miles 3 times a week. which i can do ok. I need one of thise swimmers MP3's cas i get bored swimming laps now. Susan and LuLuc...i love you guys!

hey Boo check in when you can!

im still ere. I just got a promotion so been a little busy. Did my Duathlon. Next is Green bay triathlon and 10k run

Hey Boo...your ol friend here... hope it goes well for you today....pray your doing well! We are all thinking about you.

Steph????????? You ok Lady???????/ I made it. 60f weather...sun ....beautiful...photos sun...I just LOVE these events. I want to do triathlons but i got to find a wetsuit that will fit.

I am riding! I got a Duathlon tomorrow. Charlie and Lola Rocks! Kids in London do talk like that too.

Thanks Luluc! Honestly Wombat i have heard from some that doing weights on your legs is not of much benefit. I have done it before and i gave it up to work on my upperbody and spend the time doing running cycling and swimming for my legs. But heck it could all be wrong too. Its all a matter of opinion. I with you on the Elpictikill, i cant do it worth a crap either. I can run 5k but cant do 2 mins on the elipikill

Good luck this weekend losing! Im be there with you. Its my Duathlon this weekend so we can think about each other! Good job on the 34 min 5k btw Salsa. Now your an athlete!

ok i know i havnt been posting much but i exersise everyday and this weekend is my big duathlon. But i love to keep up with u guys

Stef...Same thing happened to my wife...she fine now she got her fill back in...dont worry about it. Good luck this weekend hot chick! I am doing my Duathlon this weekend too! We'll both be out there suffrin:) but me just on Sunday!

CERADAD --Wow ...your 5k looks just like mine did 3 weeks ago..30f and snowing. My time was 32 mins something so im right there with you! I got a duathlon on sunday..5k run 22mile ride 5k run...so i am stepping it up. 5k run was perfect way to start. Weird how you get caught up in the emotion at the start and run quicker than you should be going..

Hey super cool about the Qlink. My wife wants a motorcycle but she too is super afraid of changing gears. How much did it cost you if you dont mind me asking...keep me posted on it:)

Ok so i got a Duathlon coming up in two weeks. Anyone ever done one? Any tips? Its a 5k run then a 22mile bike ride and a 5k run to finish. Been training hard for it.
