So, I guess you could say I accomplished one of my goals in the Ragamuffin Top challenge with my second triathlon. Well…kinda.

Anyway, check out the video below to get a recap and find out how the race went. And then, this time I really will give you a breakdown of how I experienced the race sometime this week.

Enjoy!

P.S. – I love the half face shot of Dan in the video still above! Very nice.

Triathlon/Ragamuffin Top Update

So I’m a bit overdue on this one, but I’ve been on vacation. So get over it.

Last Saturday I checked off one of the first things from my bucket list (a small one really) since I made it as well as a goal (or kinda half of one) for the Ragamuffin Top challenge.

I did my f irst triathlon!

It was freaking sweet.

I gotta say, there’s nothing like the feeling of running across the finish line for the first time after spending months getting ready.

Even if it was a fairly short sprint, it felt like a big accomplishment and great introduction into the sport.

And it made me aware just how much work I REALLY need to do before my Olympic distance in P.G. a month and a half from now!!

I’ll share more details on how the race went, play by play, later this week. Â But in the meantime, check out the video below to get a glimpse of what the morning of my first triathlon was like.

My favorite moment in the video is right around 4:45.

But if you have a weak stomach, or just don’t like grossness, you may wanna skip from 4:30 to about 4:50.

There’s the disclaimer.

You’ve been warned!

Enjoy!!!

Ragamuffin Top Challenge – Week Cinco

bobby — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 23:49:05 +0000

Well, time to weigh in once again.

Did more exercising this week, and ate a little better.
Monday: Run
Wednesday: Ride
Thursday: Run
Friday: Ride

A few fun new tools to keep track of my exercise, too.
Got Nike+ for my birthday. So here’s an embarrassing look at my 2 short runs this week:

Also found this cool site while I was trying to map my run in Oregon a while back. It’s mapmyrun.com.
I have a profile there and I can keep track of all my workouts, running, biking, and swimming.
Check out my profile here.
So now I really have to go for it. Otherwise you can see just what a pansie I am.

Back to the weight loss.
Here’s the progress (or lack thereof) up till now:

Weigh in: 171.6
Week 1: 168.4
Week 2: 169.8
Week 3: 169.4
Week 4: 170
Week 5: …

Ragamuffin Top Challenge Week 3…or 2

bobby — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 02:17:01 +0000

Last week I called it week 2.
But I guess since the first week was just a weigh in, it was really week 1 of weight loss.
Which would make this week 2.
Here’s what happened:

Oh well.
Check out how others did this week at the Ragamuffin Top Challenge.

Ragamuffin Top Challenge – Week 2

bobby — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 17:48:05 +0000

Here’s an update from this weeks triathlon prep and weight loss effort.
Got about an hour run in at the gym Sunday.
Swam about 40 minutes Monday.
Did a nice jog on Wednesday morning. Still need to map it to see how far I went.
Flaked on spin class Thursday since neither of my partners in crime were going.
Last night I swam about 2500 meters at the gym.

So theres the low-down.
Still trying to figure out my bike situation.
Have an old mountain bike I’ve been using for a while now. Want a road bike for this stuff though.
Got a free one thats like 20 years old and needs to be fixed up.
Gotta figure out how to fix it and if it’s really worth it.

Anyway, check out the weigh in for the Raggamuffin Top Challenge. Here’s the video to see how I did:

I know. The last 2 videos have been pretty boring compared to past updates.
It’s Saturday morning.
I’m tired.
Just bangin it out for the info for ya.
Maybe I’ll get more creative in the future.
Then again, maybe not.

So be sure to swing by Los’ blog and check out some other partners in fatness slimming down and see how they’re doing.
And join in, too.
You know you could be healthier!

It’s been a while since Tri To Lose ended.
Haven’t been focused much n my weight.
That’s part of why I decided to do 2 Triathlons this summer.
I almost didn’t post this cause it’s kinda embarrassing.
But in the true spirit of authenticity and accountability, here’s the latest update:

I made it down to 155 before, but my goal is to eventually hit 150. We’ll see how it goes as I get ready for some Triathlons.

This post is also part of the Ragamuffin Top Challenge.
