Newbz'z group is FULL!!!!!! (Page 13)

How can you check that.  I'd like to tune into 9:30AM on Sunday at Deer Creek.

On another note David is "missing" (missing from my perspective).  I don't think he made the Rockman tri either, unless he was part of a relay.  His name is not listed among the competitors.

On the NOAA website, once you get to your City/St you should see a link for past weather reports or 3 day history.  Either one should get you that info. 

Thanks.  My race started at an unaclimated heat index of 84 and ended at 89.  Plus no shade.  Honestly it felt a lot hotter than that.  In anther two weeks that heat won't feel so bad.

Well guys, I just couldn't stay away. I have been just lurking and you have been getting in some pretty serious racing in the last week or so. Congrats to everyone who braved the hot weather and to everyone who had issues but kept on going.

What did you all do with David while I was gone???? Can't leave you boys alone for a few days and you runoff our Mentor. Seriously though has anyone heard from him?? I couldn't find his results on the tri site either. I hope is knees are not still acting up. Well off to get something done for the day. Everyone be careful out in the heat today.

Total speculation, and maybe I should just wait for David to get back, but I just looked at the Rockman Half Iron results again and saw that Christiana Glenn, David's friend, finished 2nd among women.  I am thinking David started the race but his nagging engeries forced him to withdraw in spite of his optimism for tackling a top notch event so soon after knee trouble.  That could put him back in Granville packed in ice again.

On yet another note.  On Sunday's race I tried out the method of leaving my shoes clipped to the bike, then pedaling with my feet on top and working into the shoes while riding.  Then I got my feet out of the shoes the same way at the end and jumped off the bike while still moving and went immediately into a descent run into T2.

It worked out fairly well and I had practiced it about 6 times on Saturday.

Hi David.  I hope you recover well and come out of all these set-backs doing well.

David, glad to know that you are OK. I have read some other RR's and it was a tough race. I know it is hard enough with out swallowing all that water. Ugh, you are so good for being able to HTFU and continue as far as you did. And have the wisdom and smarts about your self to know when enough is enough. Now you can get some down time and get healed up for the later part of the season. What is on your schedule later this year?? or do you still have to wait and see how your healing??

Take care

David's three week challenge is over.  I have a hunch that Greg will come in the best, but admit I have not looked closely at all the logs.

Run - Goal: 75 miles, Completed 75.37 miles (100.5%)

Cycle - Goal: 600 minutes, Completed 547.18 minutes (92.9%), 180.59 miles.

Tonight I'll get my last cycling minutes in.  Looks like I came up one day short.

I've been a real slacker over the past couple weeks.  I don't think I'm getting enough sleep and I have a definite lack of energy when it comes to workout time.  Getting back into it though. 

On average, what time do you guys go to bed?  What time do you get up?  How much sleep do you get?  For me: 11 PM/5 AM/6 - 6.5 hrs

Goals:

Swim: 5700 m
Bike: 176 miles
Run: 31.2 miles 

Actual:

Swim: 5050 m (89%)
Bike: 173 miles (98%) - would've been over but I skipped my ride to run last night
Run: 18.5 miles (59%) 

Wow, not much sleep.  I was were you were about a month or two ago and have done better since.

Now I am at 11PM-6:30 = 7.5

On some good weekend days I get 8.5.
