If the weather is warmer than the mid 30s, I'll be doing my first outdoor ride since I went Kaboom. Still not allowed to ride the TT bike, but it's a start!
Yep, it works!! I like Kyla's posts too!! |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() No races this weekend, but next weekend (June 2nd) is the Naples Fitness Challenge (Format is flipped Run(5K) , Bike(15K) and Swim(1/4 mile) ). I have done this race off and on since it started over 20 years ago. Lots of fun, held at a great spot, very flat and fast. For the past five years I have been trying to break an hour, I'm always a few minutes too slow, last year was 1:04:32, the year before 1:02:21. So I'm right there, this year I'm going for an hour again. Don't know how my foot will react (I have Platers Faciticus, or whatever it's called), the run is going to be a mystery. I did run on the treadmill the other day and was able to hold a 7:30 pace for 10 mins. Foot hurt but it was ok. So I am hopeful. My biking is strong, I did 10 miles and averaged 22 mph last Saturday on a very flat course with very little if any wind, my swim I hope to be around 8:15 or 8:30 (they always mark the course different, never exactly right :0) ). The transitions are long, long run to the beach from the transition area, they r killers. They always take two or three minutes to run to the beach. My favorite race was 2008 Chicago Marathon, my dad (67 at the time) and my twin brother ran it wtih me. It was awesome!!!!! Ironman is a close second if the bike course wasn't so hilly ![]() |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Well went back to the doc yesterday. He said I could get back in the pool next weekend and start exercising a week after Monday. I am not sure If I can wait that long. I have not been doing well not being active. I have been going back and forth between bad habits. I think I am going to see how I feel next week and try and ease back into training. I am afraid I have lost the little foundation that I have built. |

Depending on what the doc will allow, try to be active without training. Longer, fast paced walks. Biking at a leisurely pace instead of a training pace, hiking. The extra week that doc is telling you to take won't set you back much but messing up the surgery site by starting back too soon could set you back a lot longer. Plus...considering the surgery site we are talking about, an injury there could impact your ability to bodysurf and that would be devastating!!!! |

![]() | ![]() Hi, Thought that getting a mentor might be a good thing as I train alone. Room for one more? |

I'd do lots of hiking at a good pace if that feels comfortable, you can gets lots of aerobic fitness that way without the pounding/bouncing in your unmentionables.... |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I'm not sure how much it got reported in the press where you are but I'm still absolutely shocked and disgusted by the murder of the British soldier in London.I remember having to cover my uniform and take different routes when driving to prevent being targeted by the IRA when I was in the navy but this attack was something else! Just vicious and barbaric. I've a strong feeling there's going to be some very unpleasant episodes in the near future in the UK, glad I don't live there anymore. |

![]() | ![]() Name: Milslukern / Andreas Haukaas Story: Based in Norway. Used to be a very active athlete in tennis and golf. Since 2006 gone through 4 herniated disc´s. A lot of suffering and frustration as I could not exercise the way I used to. Went through operation two years ago and have now started training regularly again for the last three months. What a relief when I discovered that my back can tolerate running and cycling again without any significant pain the next day. Knock on wood. Status: Married. Got two girls age 6 & 8. Training: Been following Joe Friel´s training program for Sprint Triathlon. I train every day (some days two sessions) mostly early morning sessions. Have no background from swimming, cycling or running. Goals: Will do a sprint triathlon in Aug this summer. Then Ironman 70.3 here in Norway in July 2014 and full Ironman Kalmar, Sweden in 2015. In between, will do some longer bicycle competitions, half marathons as well as sprint triathlons. Ultimate goal is the Norseman, if I´m lucky enough to get into that race. Anyway, I though it might be a good idea to join this forum as I train alone and being new to this wonderful sport. I upload my training sessions every day. Would be valuable to get some feedback on my training progress as now I just make notes to myself of how I "feel". Andreas |

New user ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Welcome Andreas, glad you are able to be back training. I am new here as well. I cant seem to access your training log, says "restricted". Do you have it set as private? |

![]() | ![]() Sorry. Forgot to change access to my training log. Should be alright now.

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Welcome Andreas, sounds like you've got a pretty good idea of where you want to go with this sport. Norseman would be awesome! |

![]() | ![]() Summer vacation coming up in end of june and will spend 2 weeks in Portugal. I will be in week 8 of my 12 weeks sprint plan and wondering what to do? Running and swimming sessions will be ok I guess. Will suffer on my bike sessions. Initial thought is to go back to week 6 when I get home and pick it up from there. Any suggestions? |

Initial thought is to go back to week 6 when I get home and pick it up from there. Any suggestions? I spend two weeks in Hawaii every year with no bike and "some"OWS, but not a lot and not at any meaningful intensity. I let my run workouts carry me and when I return I start right back on the plan. The first ride or two will be tougher, but that's the carrot! Just make sure you get those runs in the way the are written and you'll fine! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Trying to be patient and learn this new site, but the ADHD is flaring. AAAGGHHHH!!! Not racing this weekend (HA! Bit late for the response, eh?) Watched my eldest graduate with her Master's Wednesday -super proud, but training this week has suffered a bit. Tried to make it all up yesterday and today. OY. Need to find a training plan, quickly, and stay with it!! Welcome to the newbies! Mike, take care of the critical bits. Another week off won't kill you - and if I was your wife, I wouldn't want you taking the risk! LONG TERM!!! Life is an endurance sport!! And HOW do I add color?!?! GO SHARKS!!!! Needs to be teal and large. eta: I got it! Woot!! Edited by velcromom 2013-05-26 4:26 PM |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I'm curious. Does anyone use tubulars? If so, can you provide some insights into how difficult it is to deal with a flat? |

If so, can you provide some insights into how difficult it is to deal with a flat? Yes and No. Having ridden the bike only once no experience with the flat, yet. I bought pit stop to go along with mine which is not only air, but a sealant which is supposedly able to close the hold assuiming it isn't some enormous gash in the side wall. I was very reluctant to go this route and only did so because of the limited availability of good 650 wheels. |

They are clinchers!!
