Ernesto's group (4th season) - Closed (Page 124)

Jackie has a point... But... I just came home from a 12k run with the running club and barely managed to hang on to few 65yo+ guys. Embarrasing. On the other hand I can beat my son who is half my age in 5k run (he can't go any longer...). Seems that when it comes to recreational athletes, age is secondary to the ammount of work you put in. In most cases.

Sorry for starting the Sept. challenge like this, but today was long bike day and the guys I went out with are training for IM Cozumel.

Today a 85 mile, 4:38 ride + 30 min brick run

Like hell you're sorry!

Gabe: Looked at your logs. Tell me you HRM was on the fritz during that run?!?

I think the rules are set in a way that we all compete on fair, leveled ground and I also believe that the success of this group is based on its heterogeneity. I wouldn't want to separate people by age, gender, etc.

Can anybody else chime in?

I'm in. Rested yesterday and 20 miles on the drainer this morning.

I'm in. Testerday 50 min trail run. Scott is up, it was nice to have company on the run. Still having bike issue, they send wrong wheel. I can still use it, seller and I worked a deal where I will use it for my race then exchange it. I discovered what a Shimano cassette tool is, and I don't have one. Fortunately a friend went downstate and stopped at the LBS a 1.5 hours away. I should have that today. I don't know how I have not cracked yet.

17 mile run - 2:27:47.  Ran at about MAF +5 in super humid conditions with some rain for good measure.  25 miles in two days and my legs are shot.  Took a nice long ice bath.

As far as separating folks by age/gender, I see no reason to differentiate.  All the folks in this tough are tough and nobody gets a free pass !

Very sluggish ride today (solo) after poor sleep and a stressful day yesterday. I'll try to swim later and tomorrow since I don't work I'll go with the team to put a long ride.

13 mile long slow run this morning, I need to figure out a way to carry or stash more fluids on my routes, I was parched for the last 4 miles and had my wife drive out to meet me with about 2.5 to go.  Not especially hot yet today either, maybe in the 70's right now.

I use an amphipod system and love it.  Can carry 4 bottles and I guess I could buy more bottle mounts and carry more if needed.

Swum this afternoon, a whole lot better than lately.

Ok, back from la la land, time to gets serious for my Nov Oly. I will play for September. Today a rest day, but yesterday a long ride (30 miles @ 1:48'11). Also planning to start p90X sometime during September, but will make sure that S/B/R takes priority. Also, having a hard time keeping my HR in check with the heat and humidity.

Went for a ride yesterday around the bike route for the City of Durham Duathlon, which just happens to go past my house.  I picked the route because it's relatively short (just over 16 miles), so a good length to do after work.  Completely forgot to take into account that it includes the local nightmare hill...  My legs didn't thank me for it, but I felt good when I got to the top without stopping.  And it was worth it for the down afterwards   I've decided I'm going to ride that route regularly to monitor my progress.
