Sorry guys! I was in Ohio for the past weekish living at a retirement home for a little bit with my grandparents...so was unable to take a pic! I don't have to be in the judging, but I may do one this weekend just for fun :) Jill...I love the ice cream pic. The funny thing is, I could see you really doing that! And Shef...look at those GUNS! Woweee!
So guess what. I gots ANOTHER stress fracture! This is the 4th one I've had in my hip :( And I wasn't even running that much. UGH. Welp, it's to the bike and the pool for me for a little while.
Hope all is well with you guys! and i'll get the pic posted this weekend :)

Ouch
So...I was trying to bench Jake and he was going to help me with this picture. But, I mean, once he grabbed the beer and ice cream, he was just too heavy. He squished me. I may seriously have a black eye tomorrow because he smashed my goggles into my face and clearly wasn't in a hurry to get up when I was screaming, "OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!" And this ended the photo shoot. :)
picture contest ends at midnight!!
Reminder - contest ends tonight at midnight- get your pictures in and your giggles on.
If you cannot make the deadline - excuses will be entertained on case by case basis.
cant wait!!!

bike me sideways
Sounds good to me...we have until Sunday at midnight to post the picture. HAHAHA, hilarious.
And I LOVE cliff block shots! I've been experimenting with different stuff on my weekends. I had the sharkie gummies a few weekends ago and they were ok, but they would get too stuck in my teeth. I had the cliff block shots this weekend (also strawberry flavor!) and loved them. Do you eat a package an hour, Shef? I am not a big fan of the gu stuff, but I had a raspberry "hammer gel" on Saturday and that wasn't too bad. I also tried the sportsdrink, HEED. I didn't like my lemon flavor, but I felt great during a long run when I was drinking it. And Beth -I love the idea of a looking-forward-to yummy drink. But what's a good recovery drink like that?! Anybody have any suggestions?
In other news...well, I don't think I have any. I think Jake and I are going to go rock climbing this weekend! Yep, it's Monday morning and I'm counting down to the weekend....
Miss you girls!

Hellllo Hellllllo
Sorry girls! I've been MIA lately. I started writing a post the other day and I thought it saved it...but it didn't, so I'm gonna rewrite it :)
Jill....excellent idea. When do you want the due date to be?? I'm going to be gone the next week and a half....so I may need a little extra time.
Things are going well here. Luckily, Robbie is training for a half Ironman so I have a little help with training, however, I do it mostly on my own. So, I feel ya Jill!
Also, thank you so much for all the information! Very helpful :) I also got some tidbits of info that I would also like to share with you...but it's not nearly as in depth as your Jill :) That was pretty close to another Germany email :)
So....what I found out:
1. Find a yummy recovery drink that you like. It was suggested by Andrew (Kimmy's bf/profession triathlete/will be joining you all in KY) to find one of these drinks and have it either is your transition stations during the actual race or as one of your water bottles on your bike. He said that way it's kind of like a yummy treat during the race that you look forward to AND it's high in calories and a good replenishing drink.
2. Advice from my dad (he's done four of these dang things) don't drink TOO much water. You don't want to dilute your body too much lowering your salt to water ratio. The salt tablets are important. Drink when your thirsty, and don't force yourself to drink when you are not.
3. When on the trainer or doing a long bike, practice one legged bike strokes. All this means is petal like 25 (or 50 or whatever) strong on your right, while the left leg just kind of goes along with it, then switch. This will give your legs a rest...but you'll still be moving along.
4. Like Jill said, practice your nutrition habits on the bike/run. Andrew suggested cliff nuggets or whatever works for you.
Hmm...I think he said more things, but I forget. I'll post as I remember.
Miss you all :) And I'll start working on my picture!!!
