come on Jennie you can do it.... I hope your foot issue clears up

Erin hope you had a great ride this weekend on the new obsession

Josh thanks for keeping track of this month's challenge.

On a side note ... Wednesday our training group is scheduled to do their first ride together - 11 miles.  I am getting a little worried because even though I don't know the exact route it is going to be on some major roads in town - lots of traffic lights and cars.  Not very comfortable clipped into my bike yet (have an ex-boyfriend who is now paralyzed because he fell and couldn't get clipped out of his pedals even though he had been riding since he was a teenager). So this will be a new challenge for me to overcome and I really hope that it is not a bad as my mind is telling me it is going to be!

Hope everyone had a great Monday  

My coach had me practice clipping in and out on grass.   If I wiped out at least it was relatively more forgiving than the road.  I grind through cleats on a pretty regular basis though because I haven't mastered starting again. 

Good Luck Jennie.... practicing on grass is a great idea...    Trust the group you are riding with, they will help you.  During the ride they will point out potholes to avoid, they will warn you (everyone) of cars that are coming up from behind.  They should tell you when a turn is coming up.  Trust yourself, you will do great.

here is my total for 1st week of April.   14.37 miles

sounds good to me... Thanks for doing this.. 

I'm swimming term ignorant too.  Wish I could be of some help.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! 

Happy racing John!

So I am not sure that I will make my goal this month with the run.  Had my follow up appointment at the Podiatrist on Thursday and he told me that the MRI shows an itermediate tear in my posterior ligament of my right ankle.  ARGH!

So I am now in an ankle brace, and he has forbid me to run for 2 weeks.  May 1st I go back to get clearance hopfully to run in my Tri.  I am still able to Bike, Swim, and strenth train ... just no running. 

I am meeting at the pool this afternoon for someone to show me the proper effective way to run in the pool so that I can still work on my endurance and not further injure my ankle. 

Yea for you Josh!!!  Breakthroughs are such an awesome feeling!

Jennie, sorry to hear about the your foot problems ... you have a sympathetic friend here. 

Paw update.  Turns out I have tarsal tunnel syndrome, which as you might suspect, is the foot friend of carpal tunnel syndrome.  Good news is the podiatrist thinks orthodics will help.  So, at least there's an answer.  I have some Smartfeet inserts at the moment that seem to be helping so progress is being made.    Good thing too.  My first race is in less than a month.

How were the races last weekend?

1.i don't think the order really matter.. i don't do the IM when it says i just swim free. 

2.  yes you kick using a kickboard.. it it says fins you use your kick board and fins... face out of water..

3.  I am not 100% sure on this one, but i think you got it right.... if you need a few more seconds take them, cause i sure...

this is a great website, i use it for all my swim workouts..
