SWBKRUN MENTOR GROUP - OPEN (Page 10)

Originally posted by SSMinnow Since the ribs are displaced, I can workout normally so long as I can tolerate it and I don't change form doing it. The avoidance of the TT bike is strictly to make sure I don't fall again in the early healing process. Mentally, I need to get back on that bike though. Every time I drive by the spot where I dumped, I cringe and relive it. Need to get past that. Dino has even offered to come up and ride with me. It''ll be like having my own pro cyclist there to give me guidance and moral support!

Hello, my name is Nadine. I live in Vancouver, WA. Decided about 5 years ago I wanted to do a Triathlon, but could not swim. Took swimming lessons and completed my first spint that year. I have done about 5-6 sprints, 1 olympic, 2 HIM, (Boise, Barbs Race), and did IM Canada 2011. They ran out of water on the course and...stung by a be 10 miles from bike finish (allergic), after a long delay, got going again and missed bike cut off by 4 minutes. I was crushed and gave up on everything, never going to do a Tri again, until....they gave all the dnf's a free entry for either 2012 or 2013. Decided this was my chance for a do-over. Everything happens for a reason, right? I have put much more training in this time and hope to be ready. So far this year I have done 2 sprints, several challenging bikes and I have an 81 mile this Sat and a Century next weekend. I am not gifted in any of the 3 sports and usually finish about bottom 3rd of the pack, but excluding IM CA, I ALWAYS finish and give it everything I have.

Right now I am going through the "am I doing enough", "am I going to be ready", etc., the "mental chaos" so thought being part of a group might helpful for me.

For those of you who are new, every Wednesday, you will see two questions from me. The first will ask if you are racing this weekend, and the second will be a general question. Please take time to quote and respond to the weekly questions--it keeps things lively and it keeps our post count up--yes, we are competative about EVERYTHING

It's that time.......Who's got racing plans this weekens? Tell us all about it. What's your plan to crush the course, reach your goals, and have some fun along the way?

(ok, now I need help with changing the font and adding color. grrrrr)

Question of the week: What's the best race you've ever done, and what made it so good? Was it the location, the organization, the goodie bag, the pr you set, or the obstacles you overcame?

P.S. Are we going to be planning a MG race this year? Suggestions?
