While I may enjoy a fruity beer here and there, I'm typically not a fan....except for Blueberry beer from the Atlantic Brewing Company. Yum! The amazing bonus....while my folks were there they picked up an Atlantic Brewing Co cycling jersey for me! How cool are they?! Thanks, M & D!!

Probably the most beautiful autumn in the world, no doubt!

Got in the pool today after 3 months.... just 1000m, trying to remember all the youtube videos, not bad swolf according to my Garming, but need to make this a habit at least twice a week.

Morning All! First workout back after stomach flu sidelined me most of last week was a 2500m swim this morning with masters. We did a bunch of 400s today, which is odd, because we never do that kind of distance. It was interesting to see the "fast" people in my lane fall off after 50-100m. I may be slow, but I can swim all damn day.

Lovely run in the cold dark this morning. Today was the first day I would really call it chilly (39F) on my run, but the sky was clear and the stars were out. It was absolutely beautiful! Followed my run with some strength training and a spot of yoga to keep things pliable.

That's the big challenge for learning how to swim triathlons - holding a "hard-ish" pace for a long time.  Takes lots of practice, and even lots of "swimmers" as you described above have dramatic pace/speed curve drop-offs after 200M or so.

Absolutely Jenn, baby steps, but so much rewarding - 40 min run at 5.30' per km, trying to hang in there till Dec 5 when the 30-week plan starts.....

Originally posted by aviatrix802 Working in some core yoga classes the last couple of Fridays, two swims this week and some weights and other core work. I'm looking into trying acupuncture to work with my muscle issue. The acupuncturist I know is also a triathlete, has done a couple of Ironmans - trying to qualify for Kona, etc. He's helped folks with piriformis syndrome so maybe he can help get me over the edge and on the final road to recovery. We shall see. Had to edit - case of Bordeaux just ordered....

An almost nice swim this morning with masters class--2000m, interrupted at 1000m by coach pulling me out of the pool to show me video of my stroke. It is useful, but man do I hate watching myself on video! Interrupted again about about 1250m by dude in my lane swimming down wrong side and slamming into me head first. WTF? Seriously, this guy has a pretty consistent problem where he is always swimming down the middle of the lane, but today he was actually on the left side of the lane (from his perspective) and swam right into me head on. I have a huge goose-egg on my forehead and an abrasion on my forehead from his weird swim cap (it is made out of burlap or some weird nonsense). Another lady in our lane said he almost hit her too, but she saw him and stopped before he made contact. I get that everyone makes mistakes, especially in the slow lane, but he didn't even apologize!

Originally posted by nicole14e Wow! That sure puts a damper on a workout! And it's frustrating that it is a regular thing. You'd think after hitting a couple people he would try to be more aware. Maybe he doesn't understand lane etiquette and thinks you're in the wrong.
