sirgab - 2012-09-22 3:58 PMHola amigos, Just finished my 70.3 race and it was a tough one due to the brutal heat at the end. However we gave it our best and was able to finish in 5:41 my new PR. Even sweeter, I was just told I placed 2nd in my AG. I will have now a cold beer in the honor of this great group :-)

Congratulations Gabe!!! Awesome result! Cold beer... cheers, I'll have one too!

60k MTB ride this morning and 12k run/walk in agonising heat later. Pointless, but I was home alone and it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Way to go Gabe.  I know that you don't generally post RR's, but we'd love to see an RR when you get the chance.

20 miler today. 8:33 pace at MAF +5.  A little faster than I wanted, but I felt great. Actually felt like I could have gone longer.  Glad however this is a down week coming up.

12 miler. 8:18 pace at MAF + 4 (135 bpm). (Take THAT Joe. ) Actually, it was 38 degrees when we started, so that accounts for a lot of the low HR.

Took my last actual rest day for a while yesterday, not entirely intentional but probably well timed as my next 4 weeks are going to be insane training load.  Started today with 5000 in the pool.  1000 warmup (600, 30s rest then 400), 500 drills, 6x400 w/30s rest in between, 6x100 with 10s rest, 500 cool down easy pace.

Well, once again family obligations detour the training plan, but at least I got a couple of decent runs in.

Mitch- healing vibes to your daughter.  Hope she gets better fast.

Congrats Gabe!  Job well done!

Gabe - congratulations on your impressive PR and also for 2nd place.  That's a fantastic improvement from last year!

I've just been catching up on what everyone else is up to.  Sounds like there's some impressive run training going on.  I'm looking forward to hearing all about how these marathons go when the time comes.

Jackie - it's good to hear you're feeling good in your taper.  I was absolutely exhausted when I started tapering, but it really does the trick.  Good luck this coming weekend.

I've fallen off the training wagon yet again.  I think I've decided that structured training is going to be off the cards for a while.  I'm not enjoying it and I'm feeling too tired to want to get out and run etc.  I'm also getting some twinges in my left knee, so going to keep an eye on that.  On the other hand I went out for a fun ride last week, and then yesterday went for my first ever sea swim.  We drove up to Holy Island, which is just off the coast of Northumberland.  The island has a causeway, so you can drive over at low tide.  We drove to the island and then swam across to the mainland and back.  It was a fantastic experience.  We saw loads of seals, who were obviously trying to figure out what we were.  The water was cold (my friend thinks 14C, I think colder), and the waves were bigger than I think I've ever dealt with on a proper swim (rather than playing on the beach), but I felt really relaxed and comfortable, and we took our time, so it was really enjoyable. 

It was also entertaining because there's only one car park on the island, so we got into our wetsuits, then walked down to the harbour together.  Everyone else there was going to visit the priory and castle, or going to the tea shops.  They were all bundled up because it's cold and windy at the moment, and some of the looks and comments we got as 6 of us walked past in wetsuits were quite funny!

8 mile run @ 1:44:56. Tried to run by "feeling", end up running the 8 miles about 30 sec/mile faster than normal, but HR was 3-4 BPM higher tan MAF. Having said that, felt great throughout the run, and excited about my last few runs (which just happen to coincide with a slight drop in temps)

5 mile easy run. Pretty under the weather (kids brought something home that is moving its way through my various body systems.) But still exercising because that makes it feel better, not worse.

At one point during my usual 5 mile run route, I run right along side a lake. Came across a huge bald eagle. It flew right above my head, only about 25 feet up. It was being harassed by a crow. Bald eagles have this incredible wingspan.

Ernesto, That's a scary fast pace for that heart rate.

Got to one of our metro parks (Stoney Creek for the Michigan contingent) this afternoon for 25 miles on the bike.  Horribly windy around 20 mph.  Good workout though.
