| Member 48 NE Wisconsin | Subject: RE: Hi Hi Lisa, My name is Anne. I am new to posting here too. I have lurked for 2 years and finally thought, I'm learning great stuff here, and I should at least acknowledge that with my posts. I can only check the board every other day because that dreaded work and real life gets in the way. I completed my 3rd sprint in Oshkosh a couple weeks back. Enjoy the journey Anne |

Veteran 377 Waukesha, WI | Subject: RE: Hi Hi Lisa! Usually when a question pops to mind I just start a thread and wait for all the great advice to pour in. Feel free to ask away anytime. Hint: Usually I have better luck with specific questions like what are yankz? as opposed to vague or huge questions like do I train enough? or why do they call themselves donkeys? Welcome aboard! P.S. Why DO you call yourselves donkeys? |

| Member 7 Kenosha, WI | Subject: RE: Hi I was a little nervous as well to start posting and would much rather lurk, but I figure if I want to do this better jump in with both feet. I actully do have a question about biking... What is a good distance or time to start your training?? Edited by lhansen17 2008-08-21 8:56 AM |

I actully do have a question about biking... What is a good distance or time to start your training?? I looked at your blog quickly and noticed that you did 45 HOURS of some training yesterday. There's only 24 hours in a day. I looked at the other days, and noticed the same thing. You may want to fix those references. Regarding the biking? How much/far/long have you rode before? You can ride anytime, seriously. A few persons have invested in indoor trainers so they can ride their bikes when the weather is bad, or early in the morning/late at night in the comfort of their own home to get "time in the saddle", or....I'll let someone else make the acronym reference. The key is to stay comfortable, and don't push it right away. Don't worry about your speed for awhile. Anyone else wish to assist? |

I actully do have a question about biking... What is a good distance or time to start your training?? I hope I got the quote thing to work. I like following plans. This site has some good ones and they are free! This year I followed one from "Training Plans for Multisport Athletes" by Gale Bernhardt. This book also has nutrition info which yes someday I will actually follow.  Others recommended The Training Bible to me, but I haven't used it. I like to research a lot, but truly...if I worked out as hard as I research I'd probably do better at races! You could follow what your friend does and that may work out fine, too. Start where you're at and build and keep it simple. If you aren't a cyclist, getting out 30-45 min 3 times a week would be a goal to shoot for. Check your library for Bicycling magazine, they have a beginner's issue every year. I like my longer bike Sun am (it's now 2 hrs) and long runs Sat am. with a dip in the bay or an ice bath after, to reduce inflammation and make life sweet. Have fun, need sleep. Anne |

Maggyruth is always good at explaining this. Perhaps she should type it up and put it at the top of the forum in a sticky. Oi...I can't do stickies...I'm not a mod. And wouldn't Jszat be the best to explain this? He's the Donkai Lama... We're donkeys cuz we're a bunch of jackazzes... But seriously...the idea (based on my understanding) behind the donkey is the steadfast stubbornness. We support, encourage and give loving donkey kicks to those in need. There is a whole story about an actual donkey...so there is some reality to it. |

| Member 7 Kenosha, WI | Subject: RE: Hi I like to follow plans as well. I have a few plans researched and will adjust it to fit my own needs. Thanks for the book ideas and my friend did recommend Triathalone for Women, so I am going to pick that up. My bike now is about 2-3 days a week for 40-45 min. My run is going to need some work I am only at about 3.5 miles and I HATE TO RUN!!! I like to idea about longer bike or run on the weekends and will give that a try this weekend. Thanks everyone for the welcome and this is a great site!! |
