Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() ugh, think I might be burnt out either mentally or physically, can't tell yet. I think I am going to take this week off, or at least a few days. Ever since I got back from Mooseman my workouts have been pretty sad. I finish them, but usually don't feel good, seems like I am using a lot of energy even for the easy workouts. Pretty much bonked on every run since I got back, get dizzy on the run and feel like I didn't eat enough even though been doing same things I have always done. Anyone else get like this? |

I think we all do at some point. But its funny though, right before I read your post I was thinking about how my training is kinda calming down now and that sucks a little bit. I know I need the rest, and I really know the family could use me around a bit more but... Seems like a couple days off my be in order for you. You aren't going to pick up much for the race this weekend so a few days off followed by a couple easy days, nothing Saturday, then kill it Sunday at Montclair. btw for being "bored" in the water you sure are quick. |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Found my Kryptonite. My parent are in town for the weekend. They wanted to go out for Chinese fodd for Father's Day. I have not eaten that for over a year. We went to a place our neighbors recommended. It turned out to be totally mediocre. This AM I got up to swim and felt sapped. I struggled through 1000 of my planned 2000 yds. I got out of the water and said HTFU. I got on my running gear and ran a slow 3.13 miles. I farted the whole way! I do not see me eating Chinese food again for some time. Apparently it draws away all my strength. |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Andy - love the avatar. Tony-- Take a few days off!! We all talk about taking some time off to let our bodies heal physically, but we never talk about taking a mental break. Training every day is hard work. Sometimes you need to kick back and relax! We put ourselves through alot for this. Chet-- getting back to your post from a few pages ago(I know...I was 5 pages behind so unlike me). But great story and inspiration. I have met a bunch of people in my short tri career that are doing this for same, yet different reasons. I do it because I do not want to be the guy I was 2 years ago! Fat, unhealthy grump! I like who I am now- So does my wife and kids! One thing I didn't mention in my RR was Infinit. I think it was Kim/Suzy/Steve who suggested trying it. I put 2 scoops in my Aero bottle and had another bottle on water on my cage. I felt great when I finished my race. I think on the sprints I may have been over-thinking nutrition. When as for this I had breakfast, a gel on the bike, and the Infinit. Throw in some water and gatorade on the run. I felt amazing, I had a ton of energy. I don't want to give all the credit to Infinit....but i guess being smarter about nutrition helps! Nice races Suzy and Rob......And Chris- man I'd take this 'bad' race of yours anyday! Those are great times. Will some RR's now...Wow long post! |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() It seems like there is some real momentum for a least some portion of SWBKRUN MG to plan to be in Texas next April. I do not know yet. It is a long way off and I do not expect to beginning planning next year until I finish this year. Heck, I have to set my goals for next year and I can't do that until I finish thise years races. As far as B2B goes, I do not plan on doing a HIM this year. However, I could be convinced to be part of a relay. So who is already going, who is interested in going and who is interedted in being part of a relay? Doug |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Good job to everyone that raced this weekend! Hold your head high Rob, there is a lot to be proud of finsihing an Oly - not all of us are Suzy So apparently I'm not racing this weekend. I thought I'd registered, but apparently did not. I was registering on-line during a conference call (most of my meetings are that exciting) - I don't know if I got distracted and didn't hit submit or got some info wrong. Anyway, they don't have a record of it and our bank statements don't reflect the charges. I guess that might is a blessing in disguise, since I can't run anyway. I've been having issues with my foot, internet diagnosis says it's peroneal tendonitis . The pain is along the bottom, outer part of my foot. It's been two weeks since the onset and I'm able to walk and have even done some 'sprints' with Lily in the stroller without pain. I attempted to run this morning and made it .29 miles before the pain returned to my foot. I'm so FRUSTRATED right now, I never thought I'd miss running like this. It doesn't hurt when I ride my bike, so I should be doing more of that, but not being able to run is affecting my whole motivation to train - it's like workout depression. Has anyone ever had this injury before? There isn't much online about rehabing this, other than rest and ice - gee thanks. I think it's time to see a doc.

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I think tracy had something similar with tendonitis. Go back to the pages in the 20's. (or ask her). Edited by DougRob 2009-06-22 11:29 AM |

Sucks about the race... On the injury front, why don't you just go to a doctor or therapist instead of using the internet. You will recover a whole lot quicker. My 2cents |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() One more thing. I did not realize about the fund-raising aspect of Steve's ride as I joined the group late. However, it turns out (surprise) that they are still accepting donations! So Steve, I made one in order to try and bring your numbers to a nice round number. But, I bet if anyone else wanted to donate and had not done so yet, no one would be upset if the numbers were not round anymore

Thanks! I really appreciate it. I went to a dinner Saturday night for my fundraising efforts, and they said out of the 2500 participants 39 had made it to the dinner for their fundraising efforts. Out of the $1 million plus these 39 people raised over $250k... Thanks all to you guys! |

I had that. I agree go to the doctor and have it confirmed, but the symptoms sound exactly the same. I too stayed off of it for 2 weeks with lots of ice. Then did the HIM and even though I walked half the run the foot was okay. Have you been ramping up your milage too quickly? Are the shoes okay? I loosened my laces and that helped quite a bit as well. Swimming and biking on it were fine so I did that. Hang in there and keep us posted. Steve, beautiful. I participate in a LAF ride through my LBS every year. Last year I raised $1000 and did the 60mile ride. This year they've added a 15 mile loop for beginners and I decided to ride that with my 8year old. I thought it was a safe way to teach her group riding and a lesson in charity as well. |
