triritter/William Ritter "Rock Out in 2010" CLOSED! (Page 10)

TriPatrick - 2010-01-24 12:41 PMStraydog- keep good thoughts in your mind.  Sorry to hear of the troubles.


Dang ritter I need some training like that.
I just got back from and nice 17.5 mile ride.  I am happy to say I have not lost much since I last rode in Novemebr.  I am thinking that means I did not have much to lose.  I made an adjustment on my seat a few days leading to my last race and my back hurt right off, and I did not avg what I did in the last few long training sessions.  I moved my seat back and I am happy to say I did not have any tightness during my hour ride today. 

Ritter you job is to make sure I smash Ironstar this year.  Last year I was 37/3:00/2:06.  I want a much faster ride this year.

smeador - 2010-01-24 5:57 PM Finally getting back into the workouts this weekend. Had to take most of last week off due to lower back issues. Stretching, stretching, stretching.

89 days to IM 70.3 Lonestar.

StrayDog - 2010-01-25 5:19 PM Storms have destroyed the fitness center. It would appear that there is a tree in the weight room. It will be closed indefinitly. Now is a good time to buy a trainer. Any suggestions?

triritter - 2010-01-24 1:46 PM Your job is to make sure your smashing the bike in training and doing all the right things to make sure your legs are ready for race day. All I did was hammer the bike as hard as I could and not think about the run until I got to it. Believe me the pros/elites are pushing it hard as they can out there.

I have a cycelops magneto, I hear the fluid ones are more quiet. I just have a basic one and get's the job done. There is also a very expenive thing called a computrainer as well. Maybe some other can chime in.

Sorry to hear about your gym. Is your house ok and everything? We had a tornado come near where I live the other day and it destroyed this covenience store 20 min. up the road in this little town, me and lance went swimming that night.

smeador - 2010-01-26 9:54 AM Finally getting back into the swing of workouts. My back is feeling much better. It basically took three words, strething, stretching and stretching.

antlimon166 - 2010-01-26 10:48 AM

stretching and i have a love/hate relationship.    back pain is a biotch. 

good to hear you're feeling better! 

triritter - 2010-01-26 3:48 PM

no kidding Ive been going to yoga 1 or twice a week I am going to try to stay with it this time. and I do stretching on my own after working out or during the day when I can. I find it also helps in recovery too.  

mcassat - 2010-01-27 5:37 PM I use this trainer : http://www.1upusa.com/ 

Feels just like the road... speeds match within about 1 mph to what i get on the road for the same effort... and have had it about 4 years

antlimon166 - 2010-01-27 6:45 AM so i'm driving home from my run last night and a state trooper pulls behind me at a stop light.  i think to myself, "i sure hope he doesn't run my plates and see that my registration is expired".  the light turns green and we drive for about 2miles.......then.......you guessed it....i got nailed.  he walks up and says asks me why i haven't renewed it.  i told him that i have no excuse and he just laughed.  then he asked for my drivers license and takes a look at it.  then looks back at me, then back at the license, then says, "damn, you lost a bunch of weight recently?". 

not sure i've ever pulled away after getting a ticket in a better mood than i was before.

have a good day.

triritter - 2010-01-27 10:06 AM Thanks for the reminder to check my tags and I may need an oil change also an alignment for quite sometime. I am thinking of hiring a personal assisant literally have no time between, work, school and training these days. Congrats on all the weight loss.

I'll go halvsies on the personal assistant with you! I just came on here to tell you all I'm still alive. Once again, school/auction planning/THE PAPER is taking over. Final copy due Friday- then it gets edited for a month, THEN it's finally published. But at least on Friday it'll be out of my hands for a couple of days.

Until then... train for me! I'll be back at it on Friday. Good thing it's still off-season (technically?).

muddycreek - 2010-01-28 5:40 PM OK, I need some weight loss advice. I started a 'biggest loser' contest 11 weeks ago, and so far I've taken off 28 pounds. I just found out that I am the top male, and my (2 person) team is the top team (both based on percentage weight loss). Yay me. However, with $400 on the line for the individual, and $1800 to split between us for the team thing, I need to keep it up! So, the question. What ideas does everyone have for me to finish out the next two weeks strong? My diet has been great, and I've been consistent with exercise, just looking to see if there's some changeup everyone thinks I might benefit from. Thanks!
