suzzie....Good for you with the food choices.....fresh food is soooooo expensive. It is so hard for me to buy enough good food for 5 people without breaking the bank. And our problem is my son will eat all of it in 2 days.....instead of making it last...and usually I end up with none of it.....UGHHH!!!!

Keep your head up~

Sorry bout the rain out!

I did a Full Duathlon today and about died lol!

The 5k run the first 1/2 mile was all uphill..then i finished the 5k in 31mins (ok for the amount of hills for me)

Then i cycled 30K (18miles) and it was SOOO hilly. I have never done that many hills. Of course i bought a new saddle and tried her out today which wasnt the smartest thing to do. I know i would of been sooo much easyier on a Road bike instead fo my mountain bike.

I got up to 36mph coming down one of the Hills:eek:

Then another 5k..boy my legs had trouble going up that hill again after coming off the bike.

I made it though. 2hr 39mins. The winner was 1hr 40min:eek: but he is a pro Triathlete (and my coach too :biggrin:)

Hard to believe i could keep my heart rate up for over 2.5hrs.

After the race i started feeling a lil dizzy and seeing some spots in my eyes :mad:. So i got some Water Melon and banana and i was ok.

Let me see if i can post a pic of the hill that kicked my butt and my new saddle.

Who's.....CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is sooooo awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A road bike would definitely help you a lot. Maybe your LBS sells used ones??? I know mine has a consignment shop, thats how I sold mine, it two days.

Update on my saddle.....I think I like it. It is a Specialized Alias...WSD.....It is white, and very thin. I saw some carbon Fiber saddles today that were so awesome looking. They looked like a thin piece of plastic....amazing.

Whos

Great Job! You've got to be so proud of yourself.

Woo Hoo!!!!

You are rocking it. So is there an Ironman in your future???

Hi Bigb.

Honestly i dont think i have the time to train for an Iron Man. Maybe a half Iron Man. For an Iron man you have to train 2hrs a day and sometimes 4-6 hours at the weekends.

Hey thanks for all the feedback! A little sore today but i am planning on either a bike ride or a 5k run today. My YMCA is closed on Sundays in the summer or i would be all over that hot tub like a monkey on a cupcake.

Hi Juli. I've got a lot of catching up do, but I have the rest of my life to do it.
