Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by Fred D Thought I would share a story.... Posted on FB as well about this, but got a chance to swim with my 11yo daughter on Sunday and she actually made a workout for me. It was fun, with lots of IM and IM kick sets. She was giving me some advice as well. Then we did a few races. 100 free, 50 free and 100 IM. She beat me in the 100 free, I beat her in the 50 free and the 100 IM was a dead heat. It was tremendous fun for both of us and she wants to do it again real soon. She swims in a big meet in a few weeks, and interestingly enough, for those longer in the tooth here, Gadzooks (Mike Gadzminski) will be up with his daughter who will swim at the meet as well. I think his daughter is in a younger age group, but will be interesting to see our kids swim. Mike btw has finished as second overall amateur at eagleman 70.3 previously, so it's quite possible his daughter will swim pretty fast lol. Anyway, just checking in and letting you know my neat story with my daughter! Cool stuff, Fred. Keep having fun with her, the time goes by pretty quickly. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I can't see the pics at work, but if the computer is mounted like I think it is (directly between the bars, not on a cage), mine just won't work like that. My bars are too close together that even my 910 doesn't fit between them, let alone a computer that is larger. So that's a big reason why I'm considering going with the Z4 set-up. Having a watch on my wrist is not conducive to actually being able to pace off of it. And I really don't want to use the quick disconnect on my 910 and risk losing it in the swim. Maybe I should post a pic of my bars and see if anyone has specific suggestions. |

Placement was good visually but it interfered with comfortable hand position in aero. Z4 is a great alternative. It does require a quick downward look tho as the screen is not in line of sight The cage speedfil has come up with is pretty solid too. Just my .02 on the z4 |

Master![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Gotta love these VO2 workouts. 5 x 3'@115-117%. If you aren't nervous going in then the goal isn't strong enough or you're just stupid. |

I mean I did 4 x 2:30 last week, how much harder could those 30" be? |

Mine are typically 3' on 2' off, so just enough time to start to get in the neighborhood of perhaps benig able to see recovery a few blocks down the road a bit..... |

Mine are typically 3' on 2' off, so just enough time to start to get in the neighborhood of perhaps benig able to see recovery a few blocks down the road a bit..... That's what I did on this one. Recovery was <60%. A VO2 workout is all about pushing in the hard sections. Similarly strong effort throughout the interval for all intervals. The entire rest of the workout is to warm-up for this type of effort and to recover for the next. Overall stats aren't as useful. Just what's in the intervals. Hard parts hard and easy parts easy is especially true for these. There are some workouts that don't have complete recovery or do so at a higher level, other variations as well that go into VO2, but those are more race or situation specific workouts. They'll still provide stress on that aspect, but would not be quite as optimal as what we're doing now. |

![]() Nicole, have you considered moving your bottle cage back so the back of the bottle is closer to your stem? That may clear up some room for a computer mount that stis more between your wrists rather than where your hands are. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Anyone else run a Turkey Trot this morning? I raced a 5k this morning -- real goal was to get a new baseline on my current run fitness, not to get a PR. Turns out what I've been doing is apparently working for me, so I'm pretty excited....shaved off almost two minutes from my previous PR RR posted here: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=506483&posts=1#M4905814
Hope everyone has a good day, Thanksgiving or not. Anyone else hunting for Black Friday deals? |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I bought an aerojacket disc cover and am going to be buying a new bike computer. There's a deal for an Edge 800 for $280, but I'm sorta hoping Garmin is going to have a decent deal for the 810 and I might pick that one up. They're doing a new deal every day, so I'm just keeping an eye out (the other deal is available through 12/9). Very cool about the Apple TV! |
