Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2004(OT)- Race day is almost here.
Okay, this Sunday on the good ole Fourth of July I will do my first sprint triathlon. I am ready! I have really been working hard toward this goal but it definitely has cut into my online time. (that I don't like, I miss being able to read and post). I am very confident in my swimming. I have been swimming 2 miles a pop 3 times a week with lot's of interval training. I only need to swim 800 meters. I can ride my bike pretty speedy, I have been doing that 3 times a week for 25 to 30 miles distances, intervals and hill repeats. I only have to ride 12 miles on a very flat course. Running.... I suck. I can run/walk a 12 minute mile and that's just gonna have to do. I only have to do that for 3 miles. Now I get to do them all one right after the other. Swim, bike, run. No problem! :) They hardest transition is from bike to run. Your legs feel like dead logs, they just don't want to move. If I can improve my running then I can progress to an Olympic distance, then a half ironman, then.....uh uh, NO ironman, that's just wrong! That's for crazy people! LOL. So hopefully I won't drown, wreck my bike or blow out a hip! The Zig and Zo are getting big. I have been taking lots of pics and they are just too goofy for words. They are both so affectionate and lovable. They sleep in the crook of my neck (yes both of them) every night. Zoey nibbles my chin with her sharp teeth and Ziggy licks the inside of my nostrils. It's heaven! I will soon have time to post and play on the froup. My next race isn't until October 16. Ziggy is sitting in my lap as I type. He is a purring ball of furr. Skinny and lanky and very muscular. He likes to sit on my lap all the time. Zoey likes to chase the arrow on the screen and any animations that are flickering. So I have to put her on the ground a lot. I don't know how many times I have to tell her that her mother was NOT a glass blower. I can't see a damn thing. :) TJ and The Z's Good luck, but my that sounds like awfully hard work. Lets know how you get on. Your Z's sound so precious.

Have you posted kitty pics yet, BTW? I'm impressed that you're doing this, TJ! You're a winner in my book, wherever you place. However, I hope you go home with a trophy, medal, or ribbon - whatever is awarded for this event. -- Joy "You can never do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be too late." _Ralph Waldo Emerson > Okay, this Sunday on the good ole Fourth of July I will do my first sprint > triathlon.

You'll do great in the race, I can't wait to hear about it :-) The Z's sound adorable, it will be nice to hear more about them when you get more time to be online. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr.

When you mentioned this a while ago, I thought you were going to do the one that involves the full marathon and everything, and I though, "Well, there you go, Teej has just gone off the deep end." :) Now that you've told us that it's the fractional triathalon... I still think it's crazy. ;) You should be proud no matter what place you get! Wow, you've been working really hard to do it! Good luck!

Nathan has a time trial tomorrow - it's his first proper one since he came off whilst on target for a personal best. Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame & fortune h*$el*$$e*nd**$o$ts**i*$*$m*m$o*n*s@$*a$o*l.c**$om$ --Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- Thanks everyone for the good luck purrs for my race. It starts at 5:45am tomorrow. It's supposed to be 106 tomorrow so we can be done well before it gets scorchy hot. I am not nervous. I am doing this for fun. If it's not fun then what's the point. I have joined a women's triathlon group and it's become a very social thing to. DH is into it as well so we can train together. My daughter is even training for the kids tri next year. It's like with Helen S., the whole family can do something together and that's a wonderful thing. I am hoping to complete my 1/2 mile swim, 12 mile bike and 3 mile run in 1hour 45 minutes (or less). If not then who cares. There is a great saying that I keep in mind every day. "Even if you come in last you still came in before everyone that didn't "tri" at all." Again, I am sure all your good thoughts and purrs will pull me through with grace (ha!) and ease! TJ and The Z's > Good luck for Sunday.

I do, however, have Oz and Tiger sending out good-luck purrs for you, since you are determined to get up way too early and go out exercising when it's way too hot. :-P ------ Krista Some people said things, and then:- TJ and The Z's added >I am hoping to complete my 1/2 mile swim, 12 mile bike and 3 mile run in 1hour >45 minutes (or less).

Hmm... with a slight modification, back to the original I suspect, that saying makes a good tag line so I've stolen it to add to my collection. Oh, and good luck! ;-) SignatureRichard, whose Squeaky Chair can be seen at www.squeaky.demon.co.uk Even if you come in last you still came in before everyone that didn't try at all. Good luck TJ!
