Extreme Veteran  493   Bay Area, CA |  Subject: Lets build a Glossary of termsFolks, Given this is BeginnerTriathlete.com, I figured it would be really nice to do an article that is a glossary of terms. The problem is, I'm not a novice, but I'm still a beginner and I can't do this alone!! Please reach into your brain cells and share with me some key terms, acronyms or idioms that we use in the sport of triathlon or just here in BT.com. I remember a thread where someone asked "what is DNF and DNS". I think we all take terms like that for granted plus there are loads of terms that I don't know, yet, and I'd love a glossary to go to! Remember all three sports and the slang! So, I'll keep this thread running for a few days/week, I'll compile an article to post and as long as I'm around, I'll update the editions. Just call me Mirriam Webster. Or not. Actually, yeah, don't. THANKS!!! |

| Regular 149 Minneapolis, Minnesota | Subject: RE: Lets build a Glossary of terms in my experience, DFL = dead fricking last  split is your time for a portion of your race or workout. For instance, your mile splits in a 5k are your times for each individual mile. i've seen LT used around here, and I think it's lactate threshold. At least that's what it meant when I was a more serious runner -- the pace at which you can go w/o building up lactic acid. this is a great idea, btw! Edited by constance 2006-07-22 3:02 PM |

| Subject: RE: Lets build a Glossary of terms TBZ - 2006-07-22 12:04 PM Stuff I've wondered about as a total beginner (don't laugh!): bonk DFL split LT LT = Lactate Threshold,,,, which needs to be defined, look in the threads search and Mike Ricci or Joel TH3 FRB do a pretty good job of explaning it. |

Great tip, I'll look for those threads and include it. I'm looking for terms like this that are technical as well as the "easy" terms like DNF. I'll do research on the side with my books (I read about training more than I actually train) and other sites so we should have something pretty comprehensive this time next week. Keem 'em coming! |

Expert 957 | Subject: RE: Lets build a Glossary of terms IM- Ironman of course, as well as individual medley in swimming (equal distances of 4 strokes, usually between 100 and 400 yards- butterfly, backstroke, breast stroke and then any stroke but the first three (I was on the swim team in high school so I only heard that phrase about 100 times or so) which for most people will be freestyle. |

Something like www.wiki.beginnertriathlete.com anyone not familiar with a wiki, it's a reference site that contributors are free to write articles and make changes. I checked with Ron before I started this thread so maybe I'll run that by him after I start the original article. I like it since it's clearly something that will be fluid. |

Should a triathlete use the term PB (personal best) or PR (personal record)? |

| New user 1 | Subject: RE: Lets build a Glossary of terms First tri season. Since swim interval call outs were a bit confusing to me at first, I thought others would benefit from one: "4x75 at 1:30 on 1:45" means to swim 4 intervals of 75 yd/meter lengths (which is usually 3 lengths of a lap pool) within 1 minute:30 sec, with a 15 second rest between each. Or, swim 75 yd/m every 1 minute, 45 seconds. Thank you! |

Extreme Veteran 493 Bay Area, CA | Subject: RE: Lets build a Glossary of terms So far, this is shaping up nicely!!! I was going to put it together this weekend, but I got a fiscal year end project so no promises. We'll leave it here for a while longer, especially since it just went out in the newsletter today. Thanks everyone!!!! |
