Tamio's Group - CLOSED - FULL (Page 13)

Hello all-hope everyone had a good weekend.  Finished my first 10 hour training week. Feel good but will be traveling a good bit the next 2 weeks so will probably have limited bike and swim opportunities and hours will drop. Did my first 50 mile plus ride yesterday and still felt pretty good on run today.  Have some 10+ hour weeks scheduled in August as I prepare for my first Oly distance in Sept.

Found a neat tool on the web at www.enduranceplanner.com  Has a free trial you can demo and I have been doing that the last few days.  Lots of training plans, workouts and very interactive training program/log feature.  Variety of good workouts for swim, bike and run for sprint, oly, etc..  I really like it and plan on using one of the olympic plans to get ready for my next tri.  I am not affiliated in any way with the site but found it to be pretty comprehensive for what the cost is should you subscribe.

Finally, I cant seem to get photo from my first tri to download to BT site to use as my identifier photo.  Can someone step me through it.  I have looked at the instructions here on BT but still cant do it.  I am a tech moron so all help appreciated.

Have a good week.

Ok, I've finally caught up to you and had my first tri of the season last weekend. Race report: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp... style="text-align: left;">The shocking thing was I placed in my age group for the first time. Actually placed first in my age group field of 14. Here I was whining about not getting my training in the last 2 weeks, determined to have fun, and look what happens? Actually the night before the race I met some friends of friends that had a 3 month old baby in NICU (born 3 months prematurely). I got to see this wonderful baby, such a fighter, yet 1 more month to go before the baby can go home to his family. It was just the dose of reality I needed before doing my tri.

They didn't post race results until Monday night. So here I was checking Linmark and called to my husband, "come here, come here, check if I've made a mistake . . . did I really place in my age group, wait, wait, did I place first in my age group?" Once he confirmed, I bored him with a story about my high school swimming career -- how hard I worked for my personal best, yet modest results over 4 years. I never placed in any sport but that never kept me from giving it my all in many sports. In gym class, I was always picked last or next to last for a team.

Revenge is sweet. Or maybe revenge is stupid because with the gidiness, I signed up for the Philadelphia Distance Run (Half Marathon) the next morning.

I'm in Princeton Junction, NJ. I did the Philly half almost 15 years ago. I'm looking to avenge the painful (painful for my ego) half I did in NYC in May.

I'm really not much into distance, just into revenge. A friend did the duathlon last weekend at Harriman. I asked her, " do you hate swimming so much that you'd rather run twice?"
