. The rack monster won this morning. I had a 70 lap swim on the schedule but when 0500 rolled around I was just too tired and that sounded like a really long swim. In my defense, I was up in the middle of the night with a panic call from DS1. DH arrives in town this afternoon so the swim won't happen tonight unless I decide to take off from work early.

Good luck Racers, I will be doing the Ideal Beach Short Sprint on Saturday, but more importantly my wife is doing her first tri in about 6 years, after 5 knee surgeries, and having a baby in September. I have been following the thread, but I have not been good about posting.  I need to work on that. |

TOMRV has looked nice, but it's never quite worked out to do it. |

Some people blame the redo of the site for the fall off, others blame the mentor groups(especially this one), others blame people being banned etc. But, yes, the site is no where near as active as it once was. I can't tell you of any FB sites cuz I don't know any, but slowtwitch is active. |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: More Manatee Mayhem - 2017 Edition - Closed RE the "70-lap" swim--maybe Yanti remembers this. Once I did a swim at an unfamiliar pool in Singapore and I just kind of assumed it was 25m. I did a 1500m continuous swim and at the time was thinking, "This seems to be taking a long time." But I didn't look at my watch while I swam and figured it was just because I was bored or something. (I don't usually swim that long continuously in a pool.) Then I got out and looked at the time and it was something truly hideous (for me, for 1500m) like 53 minutes. I just chalked it up to just getting over a cold and missing some swims over the previous week, and major air pollution that day. I actually was in the locker room taking a shower before realizing that it was 3000m, not 1500m. It was a 50m pool! |

I went to the Dr yesterday cause my cough isn't getting any better and I started having some pain in my back and chest. Thankfully not pneumonia but an infection that the Dr suggested would have become that if I had left it much longer. She says it should be all well and truely sorted in time for the marathon in 3 weeks time. But now I have a dilemma, according to my training plan I was supposed to run 32k today before tapering. Should I do 32k next weekend? There would still be 2 full weeks until the marathon and the antibiotics should have kicked in. What do you think? |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon Bronze member | Subject: RE: More Manatee Mayhem - 2017 Edition - Closed See how you feel then. Personally, I probably wouldn't--would do a shorter run. You wouldn't want to over-stress a system that's already stressed from illness and come down with another bug before the race. Plus antibiotics can mess with the gut and that might cause issues on a long run. My general rule of thumb is that I won't train at all until I feel normal doing other things (job, housework, errands), and won't do any longer or harder workouts until I feel good doing shorter, easier ones (30-45 minutes, HR in Z1 or low Z2). It usually takes me about a week after starting antibiotics to really feel like resuming easier workouts. Sometimes sooner for strength stuff without much cardio demand. But I have asthma that gets much worse when I'm sick--that tends to prolong recovery from respiratory bugs. For several days after I'm no longer coughing or feeling ill, I'll start wheezing when I swim, bike, or run, especially if I pick up the intensity. Not sure if it affects others that way. |

A 2 week taper is fine, but as Karen says it really depends upon how you are feeling. If you are still feeling worn out and struggling through other workouts, I wouldn't do the long run.just listen to your body and don't stress if you don't get it done, the extra rest will probably do you good! |

There are some newer people in there, but some have been expert both here on BT and over on ST. The knowledge in there can be quite remarkable. As for this site, it's all that stuff coming at about the same time. Never really recovered, though I think most everything except ST has suffered as much. Maybe more. So it's not just here. |

Yeah, that mindset is how I approach it too. Get better first and then build back up from where you're at instead of trying to simply jump back in at some point. Sometimes it's pretty quick, sometimes it's not. Always need to go by how you're doing at the time. |

I don't know if my pool is yards or meters but I'm assuming yards 70 X 50 = 3500 yards ETA: might get it in after all, DH is delayed Better text coach to see if he means 1750 or 3500! Nah, I know a lap is round trip OK. I just thought that it might have seemed longer than you expected in which case clarifying that you and Coach mean the same thing might be worthwhile. I say avoid it altogether. I bet Blanda agrees with me. Hey, I saw that! Hahahaha! So yeah, the bathing suit in my bag has yet to be used. Hope all the racers had great races! Can't wait to read about it! Sunday we had a mountain biking Black Jack Rally. Good fun. I'm terrible with cards, so I didn't get the lucky ones. I did win bike gloves from a raffle drawing, yay! Let's see if I PR in losing one hand on these like I've done with almost all the others! It's still early in the afternoon. Let's see if my suit gets wet. Edited by Blanda 2017-06-11 11:09 PM |

| Alpharetta, Georgia Bronze member | Subject: RE: More Manatee Mayhem - 2017 Edition - Closed Checking in! I participated (not raced) in a 5K Saturday and walked it with my Mom. It was a great time at a company-sponsored event, about 1,000 employees and family/friends. Not worthy of the racing list though The big cross country move is this week, and I've been furiously organizing and scheduling ALL THE THINGS. Household goods movers, vehicle shipping, vehicle rentals, selling furniture, buying furniture, stopping/starting utilities, planning the huge road trip, signing a lease for housing, closing on my home, and not to mention I'm supposed to be learning a new job. My new boss has been amazing though, and told me to just focus on getting settled in this month. Zero pressure for the job, but I want to make a good impression so trying to balance everything out.

Veteran 2441 Western Australia | Subject: RE: More Manatee Mayhem - 2017 Edition - Closed Kinda proof of life for me too. I am slowly getting better. I had to stop taking the antibiotics after just a couple of days as they were having disastrous side affects for me. I have started taking some natural stuff instead and it is helping. Still having problems when the air turns cold, but I think that I might be able to manage a treadmill run tonight cause it will be inside in the warm. |

Veteran 2842 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: More Manatee Mayhem - 2017 Edition - Closed Quick note. I'm very actively working to suppress the race bug I started to feel the last few days. Hoping it passes... Been a couple years (!) since I've raced a tri (at least one that had a swim - Austin remains weird in every way), but the hassle:fun ratio seems to be tilting back to throwing in. Balancing the fun of racing with the fun of trying to improve (NOT the same things for me) and keeping everything else on track will be, ummmmm... interesting. If I can't suppress the bug, that is. That is all. Matt |
