So how did your training go this past week?

Looks like we have a great group of peeps on Team Blue and there is a lot of great training happening. Some of us are still fighting with Old Man Winter to get our workouts in, while others live in places where this is not so much of an issue

Had a good week last week which includes the 1st 4 days of this month.

Ran a Tuneup Race on Sunday (A Half Marathon) and did a 40 mile ride Saturday afternoon to build up some fatigue for the race. (I needed to know what it feels like to race a Half with a bunch of bike fatigue)

4 Day Totals for the week:

Run: 44 Miles (Including the Half)
Bike: 60 Miles (40 on the road, and 20 on the trainer)

This week is a cutback week for me and should get in round 60 miles of running and about double that for the bike if all goes well. The rest of the month is back to normal training volumes.

I missed my ride last Sat due to life, but recovery week is over and will be picking up volume this week.

I'm off and running.  Sorry... bad pun.

I'm in a good zone with my training plan gearing up for my first triathlon on March 10.  So I'm strictly following my plan.  3x per sport per week.

Yesterday I got in a 75 minute bike.  This morning I ran for 40 minutes.

But my 11 mile run on the 2nd was a good chunk of my 100 miles, woo-hoo!

Ok everyone, here's where we stand after the first 4 days.  Not to worry as it was a short "week".  I was able to get in 2 rides and a run. It's a slight reduction week for me this week with a 10k race this Sat.

I attached the spreadsheet too for reference.  If I missed anything let me know...

My month isn't starting out too good so far.  I'm gonna be backloaded I think.  Finally got my bike out of the shop and now I just have to get on it.  I have three rides scheduled for this week.  My goal is in miles so it's a bit different for me.  My running will be no problem.  I'll be at goal probably by the middle of the month so I don't see a problem backloading the rest of the month with biking.  Just don't go crazy on me cuz I'm not on target yet.  I'll get there.  I've not missed 100% in any challenge I've ever done on BT in two years.  Word. 

 

GO BLUE!!

Normally, we just log our workouts (In our logs) and there will be a weekly thread here where we can post our weekly totals.

The idea of the weekly is just as much social (To See how others are doing and offer encouragement) since the actual stats for the week are already in your log.

Glad you decided to join us

I was able to do my run last night so I'm at 28% & 26% to date.  I have an easy run tomorrow then my 10k race on Sat AM.  I think I'm going to ride the Tri-bike to the event to assist with the warmup.  I can't start out a 10k without a solid warmup!

Anyone else doing any racing this weekend?

I'm ok with whatever y'all decide on.  I just wanna get this done!  

I wish I was racing this weekend.  After that disappointment last night in my TT (see my log for 2/6 for details), I really need to redeem myself.  Anyone know of any 5K's in the Tampa area this weekend?

Hey team...or more specifically, hey Cap...can I increase my goal?  I wanna increase my run goal to 100.  As it stands right now I don't have to run for the rest of the month as long as I do my miles at Gasparilla.  This is NOT a good motivator.  I want to have something else to work for.  If it's too late, that's fine, but figured I'd ask.

No pain...no...uhh...gain.  Damn, I hate cliches.  Besides, I like pain...I'm one of THOSE freaks...otherwise why would I run 50 miles in a day?  LOL

Yes, bike ride soon!  Trying for today.  Definitely tomorrow, Friday, AND Saturday.  I have half a mind to increase the bike one too but I don't wanna push it since I'm just getting my bike mojo back after a couple months of hating it.

Do we have a team name yet? 

The Big Blue?
The Wild Blue?
(yonder...LOL)
Bluebikerun?
Team Purple Minus Red
? (OK, just being silly now.)

betsy - 2007-02-07 1:02 PM I would choose blue force over code blue...is that the code for a dying patient?

Real or imminent loss of life... no code blue. Blue Force is good with me.

So this is where all the cool people are at.

I'm a little more than 30% of my running goal.  With my half mary this Sunday, (Hopefully the weather will be in the double digits) I should be over 50%.  

Now just need to get on my bike.  Go blue team!!!  I don't mind  Florida Force.  I would love to be in warmer weather right now.
