BamaDC's Mentor Group v4.0 - Closed (Page 10)

Folks,

If you fill out the basic info in the "Calorie Expenditure" under Settings --> Training Log Settings --> Log Defaults you will find in your daily logs you estimated calorie requirements with a breakdown of calories from lifestyle and activities.  The data does not show up until you add info into you daily log.  If you don't have workout that day and want to see it you can go into the log (no data required) then save it, then you will see it. 

I've got a duathon this weekend. 

On my end, an unabashed brag post.  8,000 yards of pool work so far this week.  Hit the pool today and finished with 4x500 on 8:00.  Laid down 6:54, :58, :59, :58.  Pretty darn stoked about those times and being able to hold them through the last set.  Three hard weeks to go until taper time.

Shoulders are just about to fall off, but it was worth it.

So, does anyone have any races coming up soon?  We should keep track of those to goad...er...encourage our threadmates here to great performances.  Lots of new faces in here and some reminders of what people are gunning for would be good.

I have had a great year so far - two races.  Mercedes 1/2 Marathon (set a PR by 5 minutes with a 1:35:56) and my first duathlon (1/12 AG).  Next up is the Pensacola 5k (actually 3.275 miles) swim toward the end of May.  Looking to beat the 1:28:21 I managed last year.

I'll be disappointed in you with anything less than 25mph and over 6 minute miles. ;-)

Titeloops has done the race.

I'm signed up for it.

From what I understand, it's a fast swim downstream.  The bike is rolling hills, but nothing too bad.  And the run is a double loop, but not bad.

So far this year:

10 mile run in January

Half Marathon in March - got a PR

15k local race - was last weekend, and had a good race on a tough course.

First triathlon, May 22.  Memphis in May Olympic.  Figured I would start the year off with a bang.

I still have to fill in the gaps from June to August.

Tell me about your bike helmet.

What do you have? Do you have one TT and one training helmet? What do you like/dislike about it?

I received a LG TT helmet for my birthday, yet it doesn't fit. We went to exchange it, and they don't have any of my size. If they order it, we have to pay the normal rate, instead of the "advertised closeout" price we paid originally.

I'm shopping.

I was just concerned about the rolling hills part of the bike course.  I planned on doing HIM in Branson, Mo. this year.  So last year I went and volunteered the race to check out the course.  Once, we got there I saw the bike portion and decided to find another race.  The hills were more like mountains...lol.  I was working check in and there were several people that turned there timing chips back in after previewing the bike course.  One of the people that turned there chip in had won there age group at HIM Kansas.

Also where would you recommend staying in Agusta.  I'm looking for a hotel that is close to the race start.

I have a basic road helmet.  Nothing special.
