Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I realize that I am probably the exception when it comes to triathlon, so my oponion on Joe's blog might be different than others but... I really don't enjoy racing. I'm always a huge anxiety ridden mess come race day, and talk myself out of and then back into actually doing the race 1000x before I ever even get my transition area set up. I don't really train for triathlons to race... I train for them because I enjoy the training. I love long bike rides and long runs. I love doing so many laps in the pool that I lose count of how far I've swam. I'm not particularly fast, nor do I really want to do the type of training that it takes to *get* faster, because I don't enjoy it. Because of all that, I tend to gravitate twords longer distances as I enjoy the training for them more. Often times I race with a goal of to "just finish", or with a finishing time that is not particularly ambitious. I'm more of a "it's about the journey rather than the destination" kinda girl I guess... That said, I have an equal amount of respect for someone who has flames shooting out of their feet when they run a 5k as I do for the Ironman World Champion. Distance doesn't really factor in for me when I think about whether or not someone is a great athlete. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Had a super good swim workout this morning. Jumped into lane 3 and held my own. I liked it because I had to really work at it but it felt good at the end to be toast. I really think I held good form when I was getting tired. I know on the last 2 50 sprints is was a little off but over all felt good. This week is loaded with fun guy stuff. Poker tourney on Friday night and 3 fantast football drafts on Saturday. Add in a 40 mi bike on Saturday and I am liking this weekend. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Nice! You must have been wearing your BT speedo this morning. Speaking of BT, I forgot to mention and you'll totally appreciate this Todd.....I may have sung a little BT during the bike on Sunday ![]() Newtons1st - 2009-08-26 10:20 AM Had a super good swim workout this morning.

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() If I was wearing my BT speedo I would be in lane 4. That is soooo awesome...you are so my "Hero" now. I told you it helps spark some motivation and easy the pain. Now you need to load it to your Ipod and use it on your long runs. KelliD - 2009-08-26 9:23 AM Nice!

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Or make the trip west AND race?!?! Honestly though I wouldn't put a race that close to an IM, the last thing you need is to miss a couple days because of it (race day + recovery day+ rest before?). That stinks about the quad, rest/stretch that thing the best you can and keep that intensity light! Since you brought up more long/fast debate... I do believe that if you train for a HIM with the goal of speed and a PR, you are capable of completing an IM. Now for most people that have a goal of a fast HIM, they also want a fast IM but if they're will to just slow it down and pace correctly they can complete the distance. It may not be pretty and may hurt like hell but they can get it done if they desire. Trin2bfast - 2009-08-26 9:31 AM Happy frickin' Hump Day kiddos! I hope y'alls week is progressing well!

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Yeah for Wednesday and extra sleep this morning! Nice swimming Todd! You must have had your Wheaties this morning! ![]() Sorry to hear about your quad Justin. We've all been there and done that. Hopefully it heals quickly! |

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Bummer about your quad Justin... I hope that it heals quickly! I agree with Eric that I would not try to squeeze in a race so close to Ironman. Not worth loosing a few days to recovery, or the potential for something to go wrong in the race that could result in your not being able to do the IM. Sit tight... besides, what better way to go into Ironman than to be itching to race? ![]() |

![]() | ![]() Happy Thursday peeps! Positive ~ (in a whisper) 'quad is feeling better'! Negative - long & busy day at work today! I know it's only Thursday, but... Any plans (training or fun) for this weekend? The 'plan' is to get some QUALITY training time in Saturday & Sunday for me. Working a second job (another wedding reception) Saturday night. Stand around and watch 'everyone else' eat, drink and be merry! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() That's great that your quad is starting to feel better!!! Remember not to push too hard too soon. I learned something very important last night/this morning....going to bed at 3.30am is not conducive to early morning workouts ![]() Haven't really thought about weekend plans yet, although I'll get in a bike and run at some point.

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Great news about the quad, keep it light and get it 100% before hammering out workouts/mileage! No big plans for the weekend, hang out with friends and relax after workouts of course. I've got a large run (14.5mi) and bike (~70mi) to knock out. You got plans for a Sunday ride? If not, you know where I'll be... come on out and kill some hills! Only one week out from Austin tri, don't think I'm as ready as I need to be for 2:08 but I'll give it my best shot and it'll be fun regardless ![]() Trin2bfast - 2009-08-27 9:10 AM Happy Thursday peeps!
