If you fall, get back on. Wednesday, September 10, 2008. What I've Been Up To. Kick-ass Laura reminded me via a Flickr comment that I haven't blogged in forever so I figured I would do a, "What I've been up to" blog. My bf and I checked out an awesome concert at The Fillmore (my 1st Fillmore attendance, cool venue! Where I ended up coming out looking as if I had just done a two-hour hard core interval training ride. The band was Cavalera Conspiracy and they rocked! Carol, Your boyfriend is adorable and y...

If you fall, get back on. Sunday, December 9, 2007. Bad Things Do Happen in 3's! Recently inspired with a new sense of determination and a desire to get stronger on the bike, I looked forward to today's 70-mile ride with members from Club One, Left Coast, and the Duros. Yeah, I knew the ride was going to start out chilly (Lafayette was in the 30's when I arrived at the bart station at 8:35 am) but I came prepared! In case you're wondering where you can find pogies, check out www.icebike.org.). We eventua...

If you fall, get back on.: Time to check myself!
http://feelthepaincarol.blogspot.com/2008/06/time-to-check-myself.html
If you fall, get back on. Tuesday, June 24, 2008. Time to check myself! Although I'm certainly not a strong bike climber, I have a special affinity to the Mt. Diablo Hill Climb Time Trial because it was the first bike race I ever did. Sad to say, my finishing time hasn't improved since '06:. 2006: My finishing time was 39:22.9 (1st place finishing time was 32:02.0 by Shawn Chapler from EMC/Vellum, 24-women field). The Esparto TT on August 10th. 2006 results: 56:00.4. 2007 results: 53:21.7. Http:/ hananra...

If you fall, get back on. Wednesday, April 23, 2008. One of "Those" Endurance Rides. When Rey and I arrived at the meeting place, the other Club One members were there and ready to roll. Thankfully, the weather forecasters were wrong about possible rain on Sunday and we rolled out into a beautiful, sunny day. The hilly ride continued and I was excited to see the coast on the horizon. However, I was not excited to see the steep climb that awaited us up ahead. Holy Cow! Do I have the legs for this today?

If you fall, get back on.: My First Duathlon
http://feelthepaincarol.blogspot.com/2008/06/my-first-duathlon.html
If you fall, get back on. Wednesday, June 18, 2008. I competed in my first duathlon last Saturday (the Mermaid duathlon in Fremont). I was joined by my Team Oakland teammate, Marie, and my friends Jesse and Melissa. (I would later discover Tri Flo Velo Girl Lorri at the race as well. I don't know what the hell I was thinking by not getting a few shots with Lorri. Aargghh! Maybe I just can't multi-task between being a participant and photographer. But I digress.). Once on the bike, I felt I was in my elem...

If you fall, get back on. Monday, March 31, 2008. Training on Tunnel Road. Having taken Monday off for various reasons, I decided to fit in a training ride today. I thought about doing hill intervals and, thankfully, Morgan had the same idea in mind. On our way over to Tunnel Road, Morgan and I discussed the type of training we would be doing. Since Morgan had to be back home by 2:30, we decided to climb Tunnel only two times. I had fun training up Tunnel today. Hopefully, I'll be able to learn some ...

If you fall, get back on. Wednesday, January 30, 2008. You want me to get there how? Last Saturday, I did indoor climbing for the first time. My friend Jesse, whose been doing indoor climbing for nine months, invited me to her gym for some indoor climbing. Game for pretty much anything athletic, I accepted her invitation. We then proceeded to a 5.6 climb and, though I struggled with it, I made it to the top. I also learned that indoor climbing is great for working on any trust and or fear issues you may ...

If you fall, get back on.: Latest Happenings
http://feelthepaincarol.blogspot.com/2008/06/latest-happenings.html
If you fall, get back on. Wednesday, June 11, 2008. These past few weeks have been pretty activity-filled. There was also that hot day in May. I decided to work a half-day and hang out at Ocean Beach until late. Although the water was cold, I managed to jump into the ocean for a few minutes. I also got to enjoy watching the sunset with Rey. There was also another May birthday celebration I got to enjoy: TO's very own Jeff Sobul looking very dapper and happy on his birthday. I like your t-shirt. June 15, ...
