SWBKRUN -CLOSED DUE TO TRAINING (Page 12)

QUESTION:

Does anyone know how to force a data transfer with the Garmin 310xt/ANT?? I'm not totally smitten with the new format of data upload here, and my last data transfer never "took." Now I'm back from a run and data isn't transferring, which it normally does automagically when the Garmin is near the computer. Have unplugged/replugged ANT thingee. Arrrrgh. I'm a slave to my data as many of you know, so this is really bugging me!!!

i got a garmin 405.. i think, is that right kyla?  anyways, it didn't fit my wrist, strap was to small.  so i gave it to jarrett.  she seems to like it.

Sorry, that's Pac 12, thank you very much. 

Well there are still 9 more days left in 2011 but with today's swim I just hit my first of three goals for the year:I passed 350,000 yds. of swimming for the year. Might hit 360K with a little luck.

Still need about 9 miles of running and 90 miles of biking to hit those goals. I wish I had more running this year but with physical therapy and rehab 750-760 is the best I could do. As Suzy refered to I had achillies tendon issues and my doc was useless. My PT (Thanks for the reference Tracy) figured out on my first visit that I have a 1/2" leg length discrepency. Over time you try to compensate for the difference and that causes another problem which causes another and so on. Finding the root of the problem is key. I also have to work on my flexibility. I have strong quads and put out a lot of power on the bike, but my hamstrings need a great deal of work as they are very tight.

I do a series of strength exercises for my lower legs to and to work on my balance too.

I'm not sure if you got the 405 or 410 -- the one with the bezel is all I know.

Harumph. I'm Garmin-sad at the moment. Arrrrgh!!

Let me THIRD this!  I have just learned the hard way that I cannot be lazy about my stretching or my trigger point massage because the root cause of the recent return of "almost plantar fasciitis--in this case a heel spur" was due to the fact that my calf/soleus muscle insertion points get very tight and if I don't roll them they will result in heel inflammation.  I caught it very quickly this time and have been able to train through it by religiously icing after every run and getting back on the crazy stretching and TP/foam rolling horse...every night for at least 10 passes per calf and I am 99% there. 

Thank goodness, just in time for my last long run this weekend before Goofy in 2 weeks!  Oy.

Who is this Kim that does unmentionables in the woods???  Is she back in the MG this time around?

Garmin problem solved. Thanks. Did a soft reset and then it uploaded my workouts. Yippee!!! Now I can eat breakfast!!

Oh, and I just got some fun new "gear." Wool running shirts, per Julia's suggestion. Excited about them! Went for a run in one of them this morning. A bit brisk in the breeze early on, but then felt nice. Was very due for new long-sleeved running shirts (only tend to use race tech shirts, plus two heavier ones I have that are 8-ish years old) and these are really neat! Yay!!

So the UPS Santa just brought my Christmas gift.  Any good tri gear coming by way of sleigh for the group?

 

You should have called me!  I would have sold you mine dirt cheap!   I like the Xterra a lot better.

Let's do this: Send it to me so I can try it on. I will take a picture and ask John what he thinks . I had an old Orca with the shoulders cracked out of it before. This suit is awesome compared to that. I hear it's cold in CdA.

Come on Chet, it can't be colder than B2B!!!!!!  That sand alone froze my toes!!

Wow, Chet, I am pretty sure when we briefly met in Vegas, you do not have a 26" inseam...would be a very cool picture with the legs coming up to your knees!!  Nice Suit, btw!

Clink .... Clink ..... Clink ....  (on the wine glass on the table) 

I believe that somebody has a announcement to make ..........

If Fatty joined EN for IM FL, I will poop my pants.  NFW!  The man came to the dark side?  Coaching? really?

ugh... this one is gonna hurt.

so... i'm test driving a EN plan for NOLA 70.3. we'll see how it goes.  perhaps i may find myself a bit more interested in them.  we'll see. i think i want to do something a bit more formal for IM this time around. 

 

Pics of Suzy pooping her pants or it didn't happen!!

And yeah, congrats to Fatty!!

You want a picture?  I'll send you one tomorrow   And if that doesn't is too long to wait maybe Twin can send you one of her pics from  Hawaii!

PS.  For the new people, Kim is referred to as Twin by me since we were born on the same date (a couple of years apart) and have many of the same neurosis.

and kim takes craps in peoples yards when she's running.  she calls it ancient chinese secret to go faster. i call it lazy.  funny as heck, but lazy. 

duece dropper.  make jacy proud!

Don't we all do that????????  When you are running, there is no time to be bashful.  Its all about the run!!!!!

I LIKE this JOHN!!! 

All I'm getting are these:

Santa brought me a treadmill last week.  I don't think I'm getting much more under the tree after that.

OK, Pac 12.   

I got one of these for Hanukah yesterday:

You listen to music on the run?  Never would have guessed it!

Can't have that iPod getting cold. 

Name: Tiana

Background:  I swam my senior year in high school. I wasn't the fastest but I had a lot of fun. Then in 1989  I injured my right hip and leg. I had nerve and muscle damage.  It took until about 1993 through lots of physical therapy and lots of water exercise to get to the point I could walk without a limp. In Jan 2010 I knew I needed to get back exercising and knew if I had a race to train for I'd be more motivated. I did three sprints in 2010.

Family Status: Single, I was a foster mom for about 5 years and had 12 kids during that time. 10 kids went back home to their families. My last two little girls were not able go back to their mom and last spring I was able to adopt them. My two girls (3,6) have lived with me for about 2.5 years.

Training: I'd like to build on base bike miles and  slowly improve my running. And get back in the pool do a lot of swimming and aqua running.

2011 Races:  Because of my injured ankle I only did bike events Like the Salt Lake City Marathon bike tour. You get to ride the Marathon course before the runners.  And tried mountains biking on mountain trails kinda scary.

2012 Races: I'm still trying to figure out my schedule.

What makes me a good Mentee: I seem to do better when I'm logging my workouts and keeping up with others. I still have a lot to learn.

Tiana

ok your closed.. but if I beg really hard can I still be in after being in here last year I would hate to miss out on this great group.

My new job has had me no where near a computer that can log onto BT during the day and Some personal life stuff has kept me off BT for over a month...

I hope I am still welcome.. I Need to get my butt in gear I really haven't done anything since my detroit half marathon.

But I did sign up for my first HIM at REV3 Cedar Point for 2012.

Good to see you again, Chris.
