It was so hot today during my ride and very short run. It was like 96 degrees.  UGH!  I plan on going running with my sister later tonight. It should still be hot

Shoeless - 2008-06-09 1:09 PM I bested my 10-mile time by almost 5 minutes today. My legs are very fatigued. I think I'll go sit in the therapy pool while DD swims this afternoon. I am up to 49% of my running, now. Wahoo! Captain Avenger

Nice job, captain!

I just updated the spreadsheet to include my bike ride on Sunday morning - great weather here....24 C and relatively low humidity.

One note: my swim distance is in meters.  If your profile is not set to metric, you will see the corresponding number of yards.  I mention it because the distance entered in the spreadsheet was wrong.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hmmm, I wonder about this, now. I see meters in many other people's logs, though my own are shown in standard measurements? Captain Avenger

 

Interesting.  I see what you mean.  I see metric in your logs and I see US system measurements in other people's logs when I look at the monthly totals.  The daily entries for everyone show up in metric.

I noticed that, too.  Don't tell 'em! In fact, incite conversation on their threads

I skipped the swim this morning and only ran.  I decided sleep was more important that yards--I REALLY want to be healthy again one day--I think I've had a cold for 2-3 weeks straight now.  I guess I should be happy that with limited lung capacity, I'm still performing Tongue out

I don't think you actually need to incite conversation on their threads. They seem to do just fine on their own. (Um, although a particular post padder named Dee person does seem to instigate a lot of post padding conversations on their threads.)

Lots of sympathy for training while you're poorly. There seem to be a load of summer bugs around at the moment and they just sap the energy out of you. I've had a scratchy throat this week which touch-wood isn't going to get worse before the weekend...

I just logged in last night's training. I swam 1,000 yards and ran 2 miles. Tonight I am going to try to make a group ride but if I can't there is always my trainer.

I hope you get to feeling better soon! Make some chocolate chip cookies. They are my home remedy for all that ails me.

I put up another 3600 yards in the pool today. I met my tri-buddies on the way in. They were there for an unscheduled swim. When they were done, the instructor for the advanced stroke technique was giving us some pointers. He asked me if I would mind if he paced off me for his workout, to push him a bit. That was pretty cool. He is nearing 70, I think, so I don't flatter myself to think I'm lightning fast, but I've always look on him as an excellent swimmer. When I was done with my swim, he asked if I would consider doing a relay at a Masters' meet. That would be cool!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

OK, so I just snuck out of work and cracked off 900...was proud to get that in til I read about 3600.  Maybe my bike this afternoon (with my hubby for a change) will make me feel a little better. 

So, the pool I swim in most often, in our dive shop right behind out travel agency (where I work) is only 15 yd long...do you know how how many times you gotta turn around to get in any yardage?!?!  Just thought I'd share.

Hope all is well with everyone!

BAD NEWS - I've definitely fallen behind on training.

GOOD NEWS - I am a teacher and now off the rest of the month (starting this weekend) and will have gobs of time to make it up!

HAPPY SUMMER!!!

900 yds is great! Were you dizzy from all that turning around?

Hi team!  Just checking in to say that I know I've been AWOL, but kinda expected I would be this week as I adjust to my new job schedule.

I still need to enter my race info into the spreadsheet to get my totals up-to-date.  I haven't done any workouts this week, but have come up with a plan to get some in next week.  Plus, we have a long ride planned for this weekend.  Maybe I'll even drag myself to the lake for a swim.

Hey guys, hope you've all got a great weekend planned (with maybe a little bit of training ) and that everyone is feeling better soon.

I'm tapering for Sunday so I've finished my training for this week. I'm going to be fine for my swim and bike goals, but am going to need some steely discipline to make my run and core goals (which I will do!!).

I have a cycling event on Sunday. A new freeway has just been completed and prior to opening they are 65km cycling "Challenge" so we get to ride it traffic free. I think there will be about 6000 competitors so I don't think it will be especially fast. This will be my longest ride so I'm expecting a very sore butt.

Just wanted to report that I did a short core workout last night!  Finally!  But I still have plenty of time to get in all 12 before the end of the month.

 

My weak one will be the swimming.  I can tell.

What a cool idea! I hope you have a good time, and the sore butt....well, it just goes with the territory. Have fun!

Hey team.  I have another day of lazibones. 

OK, I'm not lazy, I'm frustrated!  I've had a month of serial colds.  I'm really tired of tissues and mucous.  And that's just me, not my two kids' noses which are cycling like mine.  Maybe I'll do something later today (trainer in the garage at nap time?).  Despite waking up early these past two mornings, going out to train seemed unwise with my constant cooties so I stayed in bed and waited for the family to rise.  I'm hopeful I can get ahead of these spring/summer sickies!

I have my first sprint tri next saturday (the 21st).  Would be nice to have full lung capacity for it, would be nice to be training for it... 

In other news, did I tell y'all this yet?  My muddy buddy wants to be a triathlete now too!  Maybe she will sign up on BT soon, in the meantime she's signing up for a Sept tri which I'll do too!

That's so cool, Cynthia! Is this the See Jane Tri? I was wondering if you'd be able to talk her into it after Muddy Buddy!

I'm sorry you're still sick. That really does suck. If it helps, I've raced twice now with a cold, and I barely noticed it while I was racing (before and after, ugh). It's a bit...messy, but doable. Feel better!
