Congrats on a great race Team Mike!It was a blast.I have added a slide show of photos that were sent to me. If you have photos you want to send me I would really appreciate it.

If you are one of the 10 people that ordered a shirt, it is ready. I will bring the shirts to bookclub on Monday, July 7th. I will also bring the shirts to Korie's house on Friday, July 11th. If you want to get your shirt before the 11th please contact me at jendockerty@gmail.com.The total cost per shirt came to $22.They are a brighter orange than last year but I think they still look nice.

Proposed: Open Water swim this Sunday morning, 8:30, at Lake Nokomis (from the beach where the tri will take place in a mere 10 days!). Some triathletes have mentioned wanting to swim and then run around the lake. Water temp as of Monday was 72.5. --Erika

Is anyone headed out to train this weekend? I'd love to join for the swim part.... gosh this is getting close! (In case no one else is proposing a date / time: either Sat or Sun at 8:30?)--Erika

I finally admitted to myself (with the help of my PT person) that I can't do the full tri this summer. I'm still going to train (really, run) as much as I can, but between the knees and the arm, it's too much... if it weren't for the biking.... I'm in for next year, for sure. And I am hoping to convince someone to do a relay with me yet! Anyone up for biking? I would do the swim and/or run....

I will be placing an order for 2008 Team Mike shirts. Logo is same as last year only it says 2008. Color scheme is the same but the shirt itself is slightly different. The Nike Dri Fit Orange are no longer available in most sizes. At this time I'm ordering 10 shirts which leaves about 4 extra. If you are interested or know of someone who is interested in a shirt let me know. The order has

Anyone want to meet at Lake Nakomis around 8am for a swim and/or a bike ride on Saturday June 14th? I believe Sara is organizing something for this Saturday the 7th but I am unable to attend this Saturday.Also I do not have any plans to order new Team Mike shirts for this years Tri as I didn't get any responses. Just thought I would let you know in case you were wondering the status of that.

Hi all! Yesterday, a few of us briefly discussed getting group ts or tanks, and I mentioned the same to Korie at the Y this morning. The basic idea, I believe, is a dri-fit type material with a very simple design (maybe the date / name of the event and the name of our team) that we would all wear day of after the swim (and could order for our supporters, even). Korie suggested something

On Sunday, provided no hail or lightening, I am going to ride the tri-course (or a portion thereof). If you'd like to join me, meet by the park on the North side of Lake Nakomis (not at the beach). I want to get started on the ride by 8:30, so lets start gathering by 8:15. I am definitely game for coffee or a cocktail when we finish.BL

I had a terrible day at the gym today. Mid-way through treadmill running, I had to get off for some quality stomach explosion time in the bathroom. Got back running a few minutes later and thought I may faint. So had to totally

Want to go for a ride Sunday morning? What works for people? Suggestion: Meet in Washburn parking lot at 9:00 and take the parkway to Nokomis. Any thoughts or takers?Also, anyone with a guest pass heading to a pool on Saturday?

I was browsing through the old posts and saw the link for "like a bike." Does anyone have one?The reason I ask is because I saw similar bikes where my brother works-- Bokoo Bikes in Chanhassan, and it is a called a Bokoo Bike.

I recently discovered a colleague of mine did the short course tri last year. When she found out that I haven't started swimming yet, she had a major reaction: "GET IN THE WATER NOW!" I'm not kidding-- she actually yelled at me.She also said she had a friend freak out with the milfoil on his legs so she recommended swimming in the lake at least once.I am worried about the swimming and thus have

Re: beginning running...I used to coach cross country running and track at Wasburn and South High, so I do have info for beginner runners. I will attach some of the documents that I usually give to beginner runners. Also, as far as advice goes...there are just a few tips for starting out: 1.

Hi all--Here's that tri training thing I brought to Suzan's the other day. I don't have Sally's email, so would someone kindly forward this to her for me?After talking to some of you about training, it sounds like we have a huge variety of availability and of background/readiness for this, so I am not sure if this is going to work... but I have a proposal: let's try for a once a week "training"
