IBD Tri group (I'm Better Doing Tri's) Closed (Page 12)

Well, you took a break from the running, so it'll need time to come back. But it'll come back, just keep at it.

I have a really tough time training in the cold. The cold, dry air causes my asthma to kick in, so I start wheezing like crazy. Also, no run for me today, since there's ice all over the roads.

Let's just leave it there ^^^^.

So you've got 6 weeks to get your run and bike in shape. Go go go!

Ha Ha!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Any special plans?

Wow nothing for a whole 24 hour period....

Yes I did nothing in terms of exercise for 24 hour period...  I hate cold mornings.....

Tomorrow morning, no matter what....

Holding ya to it....I'll be checking.

It was 32 degrees outside,  63 degrees inside...  So I did core work..  Stretched and crunches for 30 minutes...  Better then nothing...  Swimming tonight....

   32 degrees in Florida!  That's just not right.   Did you find an indoor pool?

Nope - Heated outdoor..  nice 58 when I started 48 when I finished...  Temp dropped like a rock when sun went down.

Got in a nice 2000 tonight...  sore right now...  details in log.  Last 300 yds was in 7:05 after having already swam 1500, so I am happy with my performance..... 

Hopefully this is our last week of cold - It is scheduled to be 39 in the morning without wind chill.

Good swim workout.   I give you tons of credit for getting out there in the cold air temp.  I'm a wimp with a cold indoor pool.

 What did you decide about the races?

Still have not made a decision...  Have a few more weeks until the cost changes, so I am slow in making it...   Since I have not run or biked I am leaning against, but I think I convinced someone else to do the Super Sprint, so I may need to for that reason alone.  I am signed up for Sprint on June 6.

Hey Everyone...  Good work out today...  warmer so it was nice.

Hey Steve,l By June 6 you should be more than ready.  Plenty of time to get back the run.

SO....where is everybody?

Exercising I hope....

Did 2 miles this morning 2 min walk / 2 min jog....  Felt OK...  Weather is nice for a few days....

Thanks for letting us know your still around...

Got in a nice 6.5 mile ride this morning...  So much nicer in the warm....

Decided to only do the Super Sprint in March.  Looks like a Sprint is local in April and then the longer Sprint race in June.

Hi Mindy...glad to know you're still around!

Steve...glad the run went well and you felt OK with the run walk combo.  So you are doing the super sprint in March - 2 mile run, right?  Keep up with the running and you should be able to cover the distance easily even if you are still in the run/walk.  by that time you should be running a bit longer than you are walking.

And yes, I agree, so much nicer when it's warm out.  That's just a memory around here in the northern clime.  We have had one of the coldest February's in a long time. .  I am SOOOOO done with winter.

We broke many record low high temperatures and some low low ones also this month, so it has been unusually cold all over.  Yours is worse then mine.

Run/Walk again this morning...  Felt fine, equipment failures so more walk then jog, but I had a 4 minute jog in the mix.

Swimming was easy and light since I missed my coach due to a late meeting, so I just did not push too hard. 

Cool again... 43 degrees...  Almost did not open the pool.

Biked almost 6 miles to pool.
Swam 1800
Biked little over 2 miles back...

Good workout...  Now off to Seafood Festival....

Hi Steve,
Looking good.  Keep up the jog/walk, try to stay consistent for a few sessions, meaning don't add any running time.  When you feel comfortable at the times you have been doing, add a little, never more than 10 percent.  Or if you want, keep the running time the same, but decrease the walk time in between.  Don't do both in the same session.  Remember, slow and easy will win the race.  Meaning, talking it slow and easy now will get you where you want to be healthy and injury free.

Hey everyone, March is just around the corner...  Spring is on its way...  Lets push towards are goals for the year...  We may be banged up or snow bound but was our group name says we are better when we tri....

Cold out (for Florida) in high 30s.  Went almost 2 miles at the 2 min walk / 2 min jog pace...  Not fast but it was something...

Swim tonight...  Looking forward to good swim after a Monday at work....
