Laren Finished Her First Tri-athlon

One of our own finished the West Point Tri on Sunday! I couldn't be prouder (even though I had nada to do with it)! There's a link with her blog with the full playback!

Congrats Laren!

My Run With SBR Club

I tried my first workout with SBR(swim/bike/run) clun which I joined to get discounts on all my tri gear. From the website, one would think there were all levels of runner(like JOE).. Icouldn't keep up with the leisurely pace of ANY of the runners, although my dull excuse is that i went for an hourlong bike ride beforehand... Luckily, one kindhearted woman took pity on me. It turned out that she'd already knocked out 14 and was looking for a cool down pace (which, incidentally winded me nonetheless).

Anna is a 26 year old diabetic Ultramarathon runner and Iron (wo)man! She won the knickerbocker 60k in Central Park last year. She is a goddess!

Lessons learned: I am not the badass I thought I was and need to have my ass kicked more often by better athletes, and that food tastes better after 2 hours of exercise than after 1 hour.

went for a run, Take 2!

Yeah! I went for my first run (other than NYC Tri) last night, and guess what? No pain! Unfortunately, I'm a few weeks too late to start training (again) for the Marathon...will defer.

Here's a pic of hottie Little Miss Lysa running the half marathon..Whew! Smokin'!

I'll be running tomorrow with y'all!

Mighty Hamptons TRI!!

I'm really doing it. No, I don't really know why...but I bought so much new gear, i just have to get my money's worth..by spending another $175 for the event, plus transportation and accommodations.

Boy, I really know how to sell stuff. Come with! I'll buy you a coffee. We'll eat oysters and lobster rolls and drink beer(yes, after..)
