Expert  1076   Las Vegas, NV |  Subject: Chanticleers - September End of Summer ChallengeWelcome to the challenge Chanticleers! From the university website: Chanticleer comes from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. More specifically, he comes from the Nun's Priest Tale, a story within Canterbury Tales. The Chanticleer is a proud and fierce rooster who dominates the barnyard. http://www.coastal.edu/about/chanticleer.html |

Master 1817  Lafayette, IN | Subject: RE: Chanticleers - September End of Summer Challenge Dang. Teams posted already and me with no goals. Guess that means I have to sit down and do some planning and some maths. |

Expert 1076 Las Vegas, NV | Subject: RE: Chanticleers - September End of Summer Challenge Started off the first day of the challenge with 6.75 miles run. Of course I slept in this morning (family is sick, I'm getting as much rest as possible). Son has baseball tonight so the only choice was to get the run in at lunch..when it's 100 and sunny. Wouldn't have been -so- bad, but of course in packing I left my water bottle / fuel belt at home so it was a HOT run. |

Expert 1076 Las Vegas, NV | Subject: RE: Chanticleers - September End of Summer Challenge I put my goals on the spreadsheet. Swim: 20,000yd Bike: 400 Run: 80 Complete in that order. Have to back off from the IM ramp up training, lots of miles last month but too much for the joints. So, the plan is less this month and then a larger jump in October. Also missing a whole week of swimming next week (7th to 12th) as the pool is closed for maintenance. |

My goals:

I have an OLY at the end of the month so I will meet my goals - bit more realistic this time around.
Good luck everyone. |

Expert 1007 Missouri | Subject: RE: Chanticleers - September End of Summer Challenge Hey team! Glad to be here. I'm looking forward to this challenge. With my tri's over for the year and just running races coming up, I've been slacking on my swim and bike workouts (read as: not doing any at all |
. I also have to work around our pool being closed from Sept 7-15 for yearly maintenance - guess I'll be getting my bike sessions in during that week. 
). This will help get me back on track and hopefully into some kind of winter maintenance program.| 2009-09-02 9:24 AM in reply to: #2384607 |

No...not slacking, let's just call it the 'off-season.'  And let's all ENJOY the off-season. I won't be swimming or biking again until November! |

Master 1817 Lafayette, IN | Subject: RE: Chanticleers - September End of Summer Challenge Sounds like everyone is off to a good start! I managed a run last night and have a trainer session planned for this evening. I still haven't figured out my goals yet but I promise to have them in the spreadsheet by Friday. |

Expert 1076 Las Vegas, NV | Subject: RE: Chanticleers - September End of Summer Challenge Afternoon swim done! I think I'll get one more swim in this week (Friday) since the pool is closed the entire week next week. Been working on a shoulder problem related to ramping up the swim volume. I think maybe I have also been overreaching on that arm stroke. Tried today on the straight set to enter earlier and then extend underwater. Seems to have helped a little today as I'm not feeling sore from the swim. |

I think maybe I have also been overreaching on that arm stroke. Tried today on the straight set to enter earlier and then extend underwater. Seems to have helped a little today as I'm not feeling sore from the swim. I've been working on that all year. One drill that is helpful is the 'fingertip' drill. As your trailing arm comes out of the water, lead high with your elbow and let your elbow 'drag' your fingertips across the top of the water (your chest/hips should be rotated towards the pool wall). After I do a set with this drill, I can feel it in my lats (where I should be feeling it) and not in my shoulders. It makes it almost natural to enter earlier and extend and rotate with more power in the water. Run yesterday at lunch. Swim this morning. Got to get it in before the 3 day weekend. With all the family activities going on, I may be tempted not to train! |
