Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Well my first brick of the season was a lot better than I would have predicted. I pretty much did an Oly tri (25 bike/6.2 run) sans-swim. Big success there, and I was in aero most of the time. It was not without some mishap though. I biked two laps on this paved multi-use trail that runs along a drainage to the bay. Lap 1 was just under 40 minutes and I was hauling on lap 2, trying to beat my first split. There are lots of underpasses, where you pick up some speed going down then have a short climb coming back up. Some of them have a little bend in them so depending on your direction of travel, you pretty much have some blind turns when traveling at 18MPH on a bike. One one of these blind slight right turns, I see a little girl on the left side of the path pedaling along, right at the bottom of the dip, before I turn slight right. Something in me said that she was not alone, and I got out of aero, onto my bull horns anticipating mom and dad behind her. In the blink of an eye, I realize OH $H!T...mother and brother are trailing behind her riding side-by-side, brother is in MY lane. I lock up my rear wheel and am just skidding towards him on the slick cement...he freezes, there's no room to the right of this kid...mom is to the left...creek is to the left of her...SMASH. I totally bulldoze this kid, immediately, I'm apologizing, mom is telling the kid that's why you need to stay to the right, etc. He is shaken up but otherwise is fine. I end up with a small scratch on my fork, but no biggie. Once I realize I haven't killed a cute little 6 year old boy, he looks at me and says "you may pass". Mom laughs and says "see son, you just got in your first bike accident". I apologize once more then resume my ride, a little shaken up myself. Can you tell what point this happened? =) (1-23-2011 4-41-53 PM.png) Attachments ---------------- 1-23-2011 4-41-53 PM.png (19KB - 7 downloads) |

Member ![]() ![]() | ![]() Checking to see if my fellow tri-atletes at work are going swimming or to spin class at lunch today. Looking to do 2100yds if we go the swim route. I have my road bike on a Cycleops trainer at home. Not sure if it is the jet fluid one, as I got it as a package deal with the bike. I am up for the 90% aero challenge. I do have a wetsuit, but it is not a triathlon specific wetsuit. It is a Billabong Revolution full body suit. I've heard varying opinions on whether I need to buy a tri wetsuit. I guess I will just have to put it on and do an open water swim to see how I feel about it. |

What races do you have coming up where you have to do that kind of mileage? |

What races do you have coming up where you have to do that kind of mileage? I'm training for a 30k race on March 27th. Did a 1200y swim this AM, and going for a 30 min easy run this evening. Might hit the pool again after the run to just do some drills. |

No IM for me this year so maybe max ~ 35mpw. Track workout for me over lunch. 8 mile predator run. Each mile faster than the next. Jamie |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() My thoughts exactly on the distance. I am following the 20 HIM plan and am on week 4 my distance is way less. I thought I was just being lazy and guys were hardcore. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I went for a 33 minute run this morning. I feel a lot better than I did so figured I'd give it a shot. My HR was a little higher than it usually is, but hey...I haven't done anything for 2 weeks. Otherwise I feel decent all things considered. Unless I bonk later today I'm going to run again tomorrow. If that takes then I'll be back at it |

Member ![]() ![]() | ![]() Got in a 2100yd swim at lunch. Did it in 54 minutes. Can you calculate sweat rate off a swim? I was 140.6 going into it, didn't take in any water and was 139.2 coming out. On the after weigh in, was I suppoesd to weigh in before peeing? |

I guess you could do a test but don't worry about sweat rate during the swim. During bike or run you want to pee first then weigh in for a start rate. Afterwards weigh in before peeing (if you have to pee). During the swim, the rule is don't pee in the pool! Jamie |

Go to the Cobb website and he has a .pdf instruction sheet on how to best set it up and a basic bike fit scheme that works pretty well. jamie |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() 6 mile 'predator' run for me over lunch on the track. Each mile ~7 seconds faster than the previous. Better than being cold. Swim/bike on tap for tomorrow. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() mpdiotte - 2011-01-24 4:33 PM Does anyone know if there is a way to export the training plans to calendar like office or goggle so I can get it to my iphone There is, but it's not easy. In your training log settings, you can export data from your log into a standard CSV file. However, the data is not extracted into a format that would be ready to import into Outlook or iPhone. It is possible to manipulate that file to something of a standard calendar file, but that requires some work....which I guess defeats the whole purpose. |

Member ![]() ![]() | ![]() I did not pee in the pool, silly! There was no scale in the locker room, so I had to shower and go back to the office before I could weigh in... Couldn't wait that long. So I just did an hour on the bike and tried the sweat rate thing again. I weighed 142.6 BEFORE the ride. I drank 24oz of water during. And then weighed 143.0 AFTER the ride. So does that mean I had just under a 16oz sweat rate? |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Did 45 min in the pool, gave up after there was 9 people in the lane with 3 wide as two people tried to pass at the same time. Came home and ran for 40 min in Z2. Tomorrow a 1:10 ride on the trainer. |

There was no scale in the locker room, so I had to shower and go back to the office before I could weigh in... Couldn't wait that long. So I just did an hour on the bike and tried the sweat rate thing again. I weighed 142.6 BEFORE the ride. I drank 24oz of water during. And then weighed 143.0 AFTER the ride. So does that mean I had just under a 16oz sweat rate? Yep. You got it. Just remember that this particular test only applies to this activity at the ambient temperature. The idea is to do this test again and again for both biking and running and jot the #'s down somewhere. When race day arrives you can look at the forecast, look at your historical data and have a good idea of what your hydration needs are for that particular day. You will also have to practice this strategy during every training session to make sure (and to train) your stomach to handle it. The longer the race the more essential this becomes. Most people will be able to handle increased fluid intake on the bike. The run is a different story but you still should try to get in as much as tolerable. You can train yourself to do this. Remember that you drank water. If you decide to drink a sports drink you need to include all of the carbohydrates (CHO) that the drink (24oz in your example) may have and check that with your CHO needs. Ironman Perform contains 17g of CHO/8 fluid oz for example. Jamie |
