BFIT Challenge, Donation Request, Races


Wow, thank you to everyone who voted for me on the BFIT challenge. I won, and this week recieved my lovely new Rudy TT Helmet.

So far its had one outing and that was on the trainer :-), not sure it made me any faster on the trainer, but I sure felt faster! (Note the serious look :-)

Looking forward to being able to use it in a race and see if it has any effect.

If anyone has a few spare dollars Gemma has entered the Susan G. Komen - Race for the cure. When she completed this last year in a time of 37mins for the 5K it was the first race she had ever completed (this time last year she did not believe that she could run 5k!). This year she hopes to improve upon that time. (even though she has just recovered from twin birth and c-section). If you can sponsor her it would be much appreciated.

This weekend is a postponed 2 mile swim race on Saturday and Muddy Buddy on Sunday. Training as expected has been a bit hit and miss, but did get 5 hours of cycling done over the weekend and 2 hours of running.

Helmet looks so fast... love that you tested it inside! HAHAHA! Best of luck to Gemma at the Race for the Cure. We do it every year here in Columbus. Great cause, great event!

First off, Go Gemma go! I just checked out her blog and saw that she recently updated it.

Second, way to go for your sprint (old I know) and cool looking helmet.

Go Speed racer go!

Hi,

A quick question - i have just started using an indoor trainer (but i do not wear a helmet yet...)

What work outs work best for you?

Cheers
