TriAya (Yanti) and lmscozz (Lynn), Manatee Mentors--FULL! (Page 13)

My take on the strength training is that most of what you'll have gained from strength training/boot camp/core work was in the bank (in the body) weeks ago. The last 3 weeks of strength leading up to a triathlon won't make a bunch of difference, but you can certainly do what Quincy said and get a shorter strength workout in. I'd spend more time on the disciplines I felt needed work. If you're still uncomfortable in open water, get in the open water, or at the very least the pool, same goes for bike and run. I would definitely get some bike/run bricks in there to get your legs used to running off the bike. Even if you just do a 10 minute run after your bike a couple times a week, your legs will understand come race day what you're going to ask them to do. Are you following a plan, Dineen?  The last week leading up to the tri I'd practice my transitions, both in my head via visualizations as well as physically. Probably more than you wanted, but I get to typing and fingers just won't stop. HA!

Good luck with the showing tonight Ryan! At least you've got the energy moving -- two showings in less than a week.

Allison - Maybe tonight is the night for both of us to sell our places then??  Wouldn't that be awesome?!  Our showing feedback from Friday was "ok."  They are making a short list of their fav places and will follow up next week.  But maybe you're right....tonight is the last and final showing!

I was wondering how the showings went last night.

Good job on the swim and run, K!

I got in a short bike ride at lunch today, but with a major climb. 

Then I had a super yummy chargrilled chicken sammich from Chick-fil-A.  Wanted the fried, but tried to make a healthier decision.  Will that help the fact that I ate a chocolate chip cookie ice cream sanwich yesterday...twice?!?!

Hi Everyone ! Just checking in. Looks like some training is happening around here. When is everyone's next race? Just curious.

That's very cool! A friend of mine works in a bike shop and they always need informed and knowledgeable females. Sounds like you know your stuff!

That's awesome Allison.  If you work there can I have a discount?

I am not sure when my first race will be.  I have quite few things planned for later in the summer but I am still searching for a June and July race.  I am just not sure which ones or where yet!  Right now I have 2 tris planned for Aug and maybe a 1/2 Mary in there too. But I definitely need something to work towards for June.

I'm looking for an early June race as well. My dad and I were originally supposed to run a 10k together on Memorial Day, but he's training for the Peachtree and wanted to focus on that instead. So I figure I'll do something else in that time frame. I'm looking at the possibility of a duathlon just to mix it up. Plus, no swimming.
