Actually given my age the max heart rate for me should be around 162 and during my run I averaged 155/158. I just have to figure out how I can run faster without increasing my heart rate now and then I can get under that 3 hour Olympic time. I reduced my time by almost 6 minutes over last year. Now I need to drop another 4 minutes. I think my best bet is a combination of the run and bike. I apparently run and bike with Georg like speed. (notice how I dropped the "e") From you RR:
Seems like 4 minutes could easily be made up there. John could probably help you get T1 down to 125 minutes!! so could julia. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Here are a couple of suggestions I came across about what can be done to help get those race demons off your back. 1) Rather than having to making it to the finish line, you convince your body to make it to the next buoy, the next telephone pole, or the next aid station. 2) Think back to the hardest part of your training, including somehow getting your heart rate near maximum at 5am in the morning, and draw on those episodes during the race. 3) when you’re riding up the steepest hill of the race, ready to fall off your bike and puke, you can remember that the whole reason you’re doing this is so that you look sexy for your MG buddies. 4) harness the energy of the screaming crowds.. feel the positive energy emanating from the generous volunteers.. try to smile. this helps significantly, because people smile right back at you and cheer you on 5) engage in visualization... see success. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I have come to the conclusion that training for a triathlon is easier than keeping up with this board. 1st of all congrats to all of the racers on finishing plus pr's I am glad to hear Sam is doing good after trying to show off a new bike trick (lol) and the bike is in good condition. I would have done the same thing forget about me what about my bike. I hope everyone had a Great Fathers day. |

125 might be pushing it for me. How about 126? |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Redknight - 2011-06-20 3:24 PM gotta run - 2011-06-20 2:45 PM DougRob - 2011-06-20 2:14 PM I wore a HRM the tri before last so my coach could see my data AFTER the race. I did not use it during the race. I did spike coming out of T2 so I deliberately ran easier this time. I have thought about this for the last hour and really think that this is a mental thing for me. I had no hamstring/achillies/back/quad issues. The pain was all the typical pain one experiences when exerting onself. I could control my breathing rate by controlling my running speed. I NEED to get my head on straight on the run. I race this coming Sunday and will try to work it out. Maybe I can write song titles on my arm and just sing them to myself the whole way!
Okay, so can those of you who are good at beating the mental demons in the pain cave give us some tips? I need help with this, too! I find my best way to exorcise the demons is to change your thinking. Focus on something different than that which is hurting. E.G. if my legs are hurting I try to think about my running technique. E.G. hold my hands palms up or instead of controlling your breathing by controlling your running speed. Change it to controlling your running speed by controlling your breathing. I like Klya's counting your breathing. I used that on Sunday and it gave me a decent run even with some minor body issues. I generally run counting 2 breaths. 2 steps for in 2 out. Another one is thinking you have already complete xx miles and only xx to go. The last thing if these aren't working out as well as I want is to tell myself that it only hurts for a while and at the end you will know you left everything out on the course. Take a big mental club into the pain cave and whack the crap out of the demon waiting in there for you. Just smile at him/her and dance over top of them. Actually just putting a smile on your face will help you a lot. This is my new running plan!!! Going to see if this can get me through some of those times where I want to quit!! Developed a blister on my run tonight--arch of my foot. It's the second time this has happened in the last couple of weeks. This worries me with my race approaching on Sat. Duct tape? New shoes? Any suggestions. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hi everyone. I'm back from my first Oly of the year and a couple days of resting afterwards. I'll save the RR for tomorrow, but wanted to let you know that I had a pretty good day. My time was 2:46:32 and I was 12/32 in my age group - a 9 minute improvement over the same race last year. Congrats to Doug, Rob, Chris on your races!! Sam: sorry to hear about the accident and hope it is healing well. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Gary and I were given a great compliment yesterday. We were getting back from our morning run and a guy stopped us and told us that seeing us out there running together so early in the morning warmed his heart. He went on to tell us that he was an avid cyclist (60 miles a day) and that seeing us out there had inspired him more than any ride he'd done in the last 10 years. Super nice to hear, but the funny thing is what kept going through my head was him saying "I will drop you on the hill" lol
Congrats on the Olympic, Dan! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Thanks, all! Final packing after a quick ride this morning.....and apparently, in this house, 25 isn't the silver anniversary, it's leather and CARBON!!!! I got Jeff a gorgeous leather Tumi backpack style briefcase that he's been coveting, and I went downstairs this morning to find ZIPPS!!!! 404s for both wheels, new cassette, whole shebang. I'm SO JAZZED!! TTFN........think I'll go drool on the wheels before I finish packing. Steve, Ryan, Kyla.....I'm planning on a lunchtime-ish thing? I'll be reachable by cell, and I'll check e-mails, too. Can't wait! |
