We kept hitting paddles -- so frustrating!<br /><br />As far as swimming, I've always found that even just 5-10 seconds rest in between intervals I'm much slower than just swimming straight 500s or 1000s. And I never really get into a groove because I'm always stopping. So don't count yourself out for a good swim yet but most of all just get out there and have fun!ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-71219456623120880832009-08-13T14:25:15.910-04:002009-08-13T14:25:15.910-04:00Sorry - I meant "G" race...I guess havin...Sorry - I meant "G" race...I guess having fun wasn't part of the "F" priority races.Lesser is Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545194231939568710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-40375285669541231002009-08-13T14:24:12.448-04:002009-08-13T14:24:12.448-04:00When I first looked at that picture of the pie I w...When I first looked at that picture of the pie I was going to yell at you for not making a peach pie, but I clicked for more detail and saw a few peaches in there. So you get a pass this time. Those peaches are darn tasty! I've been eating at least 1 every day since the ride and I've got plenty more to go.<br /><br />Best of luck at the race. Sounds like you've got the "having fun" part down pretty good, which means you shouldn't have a problem meeting the goal of your "F" race!Lesser is Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545194231939568710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-7241113755296155762009-08-13T11:28:19.077-04:002009-08-13T11:28:19.077-04:00You just crack me up, Jeanne.

We could rent kayaks for a steal through our outdoor recreation center, you only had to take a course weekend with them first. That’s a story in itself, picture this: 18 young male soldiers being taught to kayak by an only slightly older German gal that could have come directly from a Playboy shooting, and mostly only wore a tank top and a bikini bottom. Yeah, she had our undivided attention - anyway the kayaking was a blast. I went on several excursions in the Black Forest, in the springtime it was downright dangerous due to flooding - of course for young soldiers this was the only time to go - at least no one drowned.<br /><br />I’m following your trying tri training with interest, I’ve decided I need to do this too – next year there will be a first triathlon, something easy to get me started.<br /><br />Keep up the training, you doing fabulous!Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08887866077099979177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-41504976320718037882009-08-12T23:44:56.513-04:002009-08-12T23:44:56.513-04:00ATTA GIRL!

You will thank me for that advice on the brick thing as you bound off you bike and have a fabulous 10K!<br /><br />And I love you forever for the Shatner video. Love it! And I love kayaking, too. Shatner and kayaking and s***ing and racing triathlon.

I can't last on a bike longer than about 2 blocks. The seat alone is a killer.<br /><br />And I'm very upset that you didn't invite me over to see your new kitchen and especially to have a piece of that pie.<br /><br />I might have tried kayaking for $5. Let me know the next time.NOD's BF's Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-91444800823522120742009-08-12T22:08:46.316-04:002009-08-12T22:08:46.316-04:00VM.VM.Runner Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338914642832129177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13425555.post-22862174106556397252009-08-12T21:30:45.769-04:002009-08-12T21:30:45.769-04:00jeanne!! you are doing great!jeanne!! you are doing great!Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659061902462311046noreply@blogger.com
