Mimir98's group-CLOSED AGAIN...FOR REAL THIS TIME (Page 12)

If you only want HRM, then there are many different types.

The Garmin 305 are nice, know somebody here who uses them. But don't bring it in the pool, they are not waterthigth enough, that's what I'm been told. A freind of mine used his on a kayak tour and it was ruined after that trip.

I use a Polar S625x, tons of functions, but a very nice toy, that measures anything, even speed, cadence and power on the bike. I works underwater (down to 30m) and I have used it on all my open water swim's.

NO...but, you could wear your HRM strap, and keep the watch in a dry bag (ziplock?) and at least get your reading when you stop at the wall for a ball park.  Swimming isn't as much about heart rate as technique, though

NOW PULL THE DANG TRIGGER

consider it PULLED.

Just don't tell my husband.

This is largely a bump; we are slip slip slipping to page two.  And really? That's no good for anyone.

 Hoping they don't close the college tonight (not really enough snow for THAT, but people seem to panic when there's a flake these days- do they not recall that we live in the mountains, for crying out loud? If they do, I won't be able to swim WHICH WILL MAKE ME SAD LIKE YOU READ ABOUT.

and at the rate you're going, it appears you'll be a bad a$$ one   I think if I was in that much snow I would become bear-like and hibernate.  All winter long, after the first snow fall!

Sadly,  Colorado has got us beat! This is the first year that we have had snow for Christmas over the last 5. We tend to get lots of sleety junk now too. And it is awful. Our sidewalks around the lake (the only real safe darkness running route we have) are the world's most slippery paving stone, and it's like flirting with a fracture half the time you run on them.

Even today, the storm that was forecast to be 12 inches turned out only to be 5-- it stopped snowing by 11 am! Bummer.

Probably for the same reason that I ate chocolate covered pretzels before dinner last night-- again-- and then "conveniently" forgot to add it to my log. (I feel so guilty about not mentioning the naughty pretzels on the log, I had to confess.

It’s such a motivation to read all your blogs, everybody is busy training. I haven’t hit the “inspire” button to much lately, but I’ll get around to it, I promise. I know how much it means to me, when I get inspired by you.

I thought that the Danish weather was about the worst in the world, but when I read about yours, I can’t complain. Just read about the hurricanes, scary! Here the weather is still mild for the season, just now, 11 am, the sun is out and no wind, temperature is about 40. I whish that I could do my run session right now, but I’ll have to wait until I get off work. I need to get more running in my training, hopefully 8 miles today and about 10 Saturday.

DITTO! 

I was really disciplined in 2006, but 2007 I justified the junk by all the extra training I was doing, then after my last Tri of the season, I let it go for a period.   

Speaking of last Tri's of the season, I was reviewing results from my last race last year and realized our mentor (our encourager, coach, guru) MIMIR98, beat me in the swim by nearly 8 minutes and about 2:45 in transitions!!!

She rocks, has a smile on her face the whole time, and looks great doing it.

I can't wait to come to Florida and race with her (which most likely will be way behind her)

I'll bet Mimi didn't eat any candy hearts off her secretary's desk today, either  Thank the Lord it wasn't M&M's as they have all sorts of control over me.

 We all need bracelets that say "WWMD?" what would Mimi do?

As my husband says, the best thing about the Super Bowl is that baseball is coming soon!
