Champion  6973      marietta |  Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!!tritiny - 2010-04-09 8:52 PM i just sent my registration for my first triathlon The Dog House Sprint on May 16 in Lubbock Tx . It's a Sprint 500 m swim 17.6 mile ride and a 5k run. Kinda scary and a little nervous. By chance has anyone done this race?  Tiana CONGRATS!!!!! you're first one!!! very exciting!!!! I see there are 3 race reports. here. (see middle of page"view members race reports") they are pretty light. part of a 70.3 i did was on this course. you'll be able to wear a wetsuit and they'll have strippers it looks like to help you out of it when you come out of the water. should be a nice swim. there's a hill coming out of transition that is a little steep. make sure that your bike is an easy gear when you rack it in the morning. a few more hills but the rest is flat. you cross a dam which is kinda cool. isee in your logs that you've been riding in some wind. that's good cause it might be up. especially when you get out of the canyon. the run is awesome. flat. you turn around right by the first hill on the 70.3 course. that hill sucked. to make it worse there's a house at the base of the hill that people were bbq'ing at and pounding beer as i ran by. i cried. if you get a chance to drive into the park before had do so. just remember to tell the gate people you just want to check it out and you're not staying. otherwise they charge you to get in. the race director is a very cool, unique, but cool guy. he runs good races. what else? ask whatever questions you want! training or race related. i give accurate and well informed advice on an anything really. |

Okay, I'm going to open a whole can of worms here, but I'm sure many of the other mom's in this group will back me up. Steve, pay close attention to the things mentioned in that article. Ever since my girls were born I can not jump on a trampoline or do jumping jacks without peeing myself and for the first 4 months I had to learn to run without peeing on myself. I am convinced some of the issues I am having with my hips and this injury are from giving birth to 2 thanksgiving turkeys, and I blame the residual layer of fat over my tummy on them as well. Not that I would change any of it, but get ready to hear about bodily complaints you would have never thought Kim would have.  I never even heard the word episiotomy before my wife gave birth to our kids. Our experienes have parallels to yours, although I have never seen Robin on a trampoline and she did not pee herself AFAIK. Yep, I am pretty sure it's more painful to listen to all the whining they do vs. actually giving birth ; ) c-section's here. so wasn't bad! OH - I see wasn't bad, huh? c-section here too buddy and let me tell that being gutted is not fun!!!!!!!!!! I still get sharp pains around my scar and have places on no feeling. Hummmm - I'd like to hear Jarrett weigh in on that one. that pain is in your a$$ and its called tony. she'll weigh in alright. on what a great husband i am. i watched all three sections. june was crazy cause she was way up. the doc was in up to his shoulder it seemed. kinda crazy how they lay all your guts out up on your chest. |

Champion 9060 Charlottesville, Virginia | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! GoFaster - 2010-04-09 8:42 PM Okay, got to ask - who is the resident power expert? Since I'm all tricked out with my new powertap, I now need to learn how to use it properly. Oh, and my watts/kg currently suck, big time. I would say first thing would be to read Training and Racing with a Power Meter by Hunter Allen and Andrew Coggan. Pretty much the bible of training with a power meter. It has all the info on doing your FTP tests which you will pretty much need for any power based training plans. I am actually heading to bed but I can post a bit more tomorrow. |

Master 2501 | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! tjtryon - 2010-04-09 8:34 PM Short break for me. 13.1 done so far and you know what? I feel like I've run a half marathon. Still hoping to get 50k more done before the sun comes up. Mile 8.5 was the occasion of a pie eating contest (I won) - don't know if the inclusion of that was smart in a run. I feel fat, but still capable of an all nighter. Holy mackeral!! What kind of pie? Keep it up and have a great night! You are awesome and amazing and inspiring. Can't wait to read how it all turns out!! |

Veteran 207 | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! GoFaster - 2010-04-09 5:42 PM Okay, got to ask - who is the resident power expert? Since I'm all tricked out with my new powertap, I now need to learn how to use it properly. Oh, and my watts/kg currently suck, big time. I'm certainly no expert, but I like to dabble in power and wattage. I have an SRM, not at PT, but the training concepts are the same. Tony clearly knows his stuff too, and I second his recommendation on Training and Racing...; it's an excellent book and really lays out the groundwork for how to effectively use your PT. Although I haven't read it, I've also heard good things about The Triathlete's Guide to Training with Power, by Dr. Philip Skiba. His website is here. Sometimes power talk get a little too technically-oriented and boring for some here, so if you have some more questions or thoughts, feel free to email me: ryan at fpasset dot com. |

Extreme Veteran 875 Issaquah | Subject: Resources for running form Hi All, Does anyone have any good links to sites/youtube videos etc. that detail good running form? I've have had repeated ankle injuries from trail running years ago that I'd like to make sure don't come back to haunt me as my mileage per week increases... Thanks! Also, great group btw, but how are you all managing the form postings? I note all the posts so far have the same subject, so threaded views don't really tell me much and I haven't been able to log in enough to follow the flat view... |

Expert 762 San Antonio, TX | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! TJ- Keep it up! I'll check in on you first thing tomorrow. John- Are you really asking for brownie points for "watching". Really? You Soooo don't want to go there. No beer for you! (soup nazi). Just got done watching Ferris Buller with the Exhibits. Now they want a "Day Off". |

Weird. I thought I answered this and my answer isn't here. Maybe I can't figure out which buttons to push to post an actual message. Anyway, the answer went something like this: No, I drive a white minivan. Or a white Camry. Or a blue Lemond Versailles. Or a green Diamondback. And maybe next week (one can hope??), I can add a new color to the cycling arsenal. If you think you saw me cruisin' around in a 630i rag top, 'twasn't I, as I was busy at home testing the elasticity of my driveway. (It's not very forgiving, in case you were wondering.) oh no. it wasn't me that thought they saw you. some other guy wrote about it here. so funny that kelly mentions ferris. last post has this.. "in the words of ferris buehler, "it is so choice. if you have the means, i highly recommend picking one up" ;)" HA! Edited by fattyfatfat 2010-04-10 6:08 AM |

Sometimes power talk get a little too technically-oriented and boring for some here, so if you have some more questions or thoughts, feel free to email me: ryan at fpasset dot com. IMO the best thing about the Power Meter is giving you zones with which to use when working out. Pretty much the same as HR zones for the run. Takes a lot of the guess work out of it when racing, you have a wattage zone you stick to and that's pretty much it. Don't have to worry about speed. If 200 watts is 25 mph due to course being flat, great, if it's 15 mph due to it being hilly, so be it, you can't make up watts on race day and if you try you'll just run out of power after awhile. |

It felt so great to finally get outside and be active again!!! My foot doesn't feel any worse than normal this morning. So, I'd say I'm back in business on the bike. So incredibly happy about that! Also picked up my new aero bars from REI last night to put on my Kestrel. I'll post pics when I get her all decked out! Good luck to everyone racing!!! |

Time for me to go sit in the naughty chair....my head told me to love Z2 for this race, but the little mini me on my shoulder told me to love Z4 instead.

Very glad to hear you embraced your inner Z3. I know you just felt awesome being out there and competing. And yeah, the ultra folk are a different crowd. I used to want to be one of them... but really, I don't anymore. Being an IM (hopeful) breed is probably gonna cap my endurance efforts. Well, really I'd like to do at least one ultra (50K) but I am not at all interested in those 100-mile races, through streams, over hill and dale, etc. I bet it was cool to see them gunning for it though, both the chewers and the chewees. |

Funny, we were talking Ferris Bueller here yesterday. Our kids are still a wee bit too young for it, but they like the idea. We're more in the Home Alone stage for movie pranksters... it's what my son wanted to watch yesterday with his grandparents for his bday. Cute. |

Extreme Veteran 362 | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Good job Suzy! That must have been a great feeling for you and to place high like that too. I did the Gateway tri this morning and feel mostly good about it. Biggest issue I had was tight hamstrings coming off the bike into the run. They never really loosened up for the 3 miles of the run. But, I am really pleased to have another tri on my list showing DONE! It felt great!  I will get the race report done later today. Thanks everyone for the good wishes and inspires! |

Veteran 275 | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Hello all. I just wanted to come and brag about my ride this morning. I took the new tri bike out for her second ride and had just an awesome time. Averaged 16MPH which is what I ended last season at. It is slow for some of you speedsters out there but this puts a big smile on my face. (This time last year I was averaging 12-13MPH) I can definitely tell that this season is going to give me great improvements in my cycling which hopefully should also result in great strides in my running. 34 mile ride this AM. HR 151 Average and cadence average was 70. I am very excited for my rest day tomorrow!!! Edited by stefanier 2010-04-10 4:33 PM |
