Team Thrown Together

I should have the professional pictures I will scan in so we can get rid of the “PROOF”, though for now, we can say it is for proof of finishing the triathlon.

If you are interested in purchasing pictures, they are on shutterfly.  You can see the album for purchasing here.  Alternatly, if you click on the pictures, you will be taken to the ordering page on shutterfly.

 

Some important news for this week!!!!   I have a new triathlon to do next week, and I took on a new partner…  I’ll give you a hint, the triathalon is in Hendersonville, Tennessee, and the new partner, when asked, said “That would be AWESMOE!”  Yep, for those of you who have guessed it, Teressa and I are going to compete in the Old Hickory Triathlon next weekend.  More on the specifics later, but for now, you can see about the event at:  http://www.team-magic.com/tmtri/ohltri.htm

Well, we’ve been busy trying to get things ready for the new baby.  With about 7 weeks left, there is not much time.  We’ve moved Teressa to the back bedroom, though we still need to set her room up.  Tanner has officially graduated out of the nursery to Teressa’s old room, and has, for the last week, been sleeping in there, in her big girl bed, with no adjustment problems.  That means the nursery is ready to paint and get ready for Thomas.  I don’t know if I’ve mention that we have decided to name the baby Thomas Trent Tryon Jr. (I guess it would actually be the third)…  A couple of more weeks and we are getting the final ultrasound, and Thomas will be here soon enough.  So far so good though, both Momma and the baby are healthy.  The baby is head down, and kicking the crap outta Momma ALL the time, which is driving Momma crazy at this point in time.  Momma is (extremely) cranky, which is driving Daddy crazy at this point in time (*grin* makes training for a triathlon that much sweeter *snicker*).

On a different note, today I was in another triathlon, the third (of the yearly series – my second this year) and last of the series I was in last month.  I suckered a buddy into running for me, so I signed us up as a team, and I did the swim and bike portion of the race myself.  I did the swim much slower than I did last month, but I did it so I could have the energy to do the bike portion.  All in all I was pretty slow, but I did feel good in finishing it.  I’m a bit sore and tight tonight, but no worries.  With a little more training, I think I will be comfortable doing the whole sprint triathlon (Indy Sprint -> 1/3 mile swim, 10 mile bike, 3 mile run).  Unfortunatly, the Indy Sprints are done for the year, but there is one up at Mississinewa in 3 weeks.  I should be able to get all trained up for that one to be able to do it myself, though I do have an email out to my running partner to see if he wants to run it.  Results (teams) for today’s tri are at:  http://www.tuxbro.com/results/2006/TRI3T.HTM  (July tri results are at: http://www.tuxbro.com/results/2006/INDSPRT.HTM)

I assume everyone is listening to the concert in Chicago tonight on Radio Margaritaville?  Only 3 more days until Noblesville.  You’ll find me in my typical tailgating spot, in VIP parking, though I will probably not be in the same parking spot as I have been the last 5 or 6 years.  There are going to be a bunch of people from Buffett News meeting up, and we will likely all park together to hang out.  If you are going, be sure to look me up for the tailgate.

Fins!

Tryin’ hard…

I spoke to my friend Craig today, he wanted to confirm we were still going to team up for the triathalon again on the 19th of August. Plans are for the team to stay the same as we did last time, with me swimming, Craig biking and Matt running. Sounds good, I’m in, and I’m going to have a few more weeks of training in by then.

These triathalons are not the Ironman length of triathalon, as I don’t think any of us are in enough shape to do one of that length.  The Ironman is the longest of the Tri’s, with a 2.5 mile swim, 100ish mile bike and a full marathon of running (26 miles) to bring the race to a close…  No, not even close, we are doing a sprint length triathalon, which is MUCH less…  500 meters of swimming, a 10 mile bike and a 3 mile run.  I’m going to try to get myself to the point that I can do a full race, all three parts, by myself next year.  I’ve been training for a month now, with a few swims in the lake, a few runs around the neighborhood, and now, I can say I have a few laps on a bike.  I broke down and bought a new bicycle.  Now I can really get ready for a triathalon myself next summer, maybe compete in the Blacksnake Biathalon again, and even ride the Hilly or the RAGBRI again…
