Momo's Group - (CLOSED) (Page 14)

well I almost hit my goals for the month which tells me they are definately stretch goals and hard to hit...but I cam pretty close. Would have been nice to have Sunday to add intoi my totals. Anyway....

 My weight loss has leveled off a bit. Probably need to keep a better count on my caloric intake. Nevertheless, clothes fit is loose so something is working.

Team, have a few questions:

 1) anyone ever complete a Vo2 max test to establish some good HR zones?

 2) anyone use a powermeter for cycling?

We had a local endurance sports symposium, met Sarah Haskins(2008 Olympian)and got lots of great info yesterday. I am sure that I want to do some testing to get better HR zones. I have been using the 220-age and I the more I have been HR training, the more I would like to make sure my zones are good. I live right next door to a nice sports performance center and they offer both test ($150 each) not sure I need both test. I posted the question to the general tri forum and look forward to seeing the responses I get.

 As for the power meter - I have heard it's the best for cycling training from everyone I have met, but the price is pretty steep. There's a new low price option this year, but not sure about quality. It's on my wish list for right now! :-)

 I did schedule a bike fit for my road and tri bike (no more procrastination)!

Thanks, Mo! I will definitely keep it up. My next race will be a sub 28 min. 5K. Then on to the 10Ks and my 1st triathlon.

great to see everyone so focused....congrat's to kristen on her 5k success..that's a boost to all of us! Here's my February totals....will miss four days of training next week...guess I'd better plan around that.

Team,

 I am traveling to Europe this week, so I apologize in advance for a quiet week. I have a 10k this Saturday that I am going to run at Tri pace (meaning slow!) so I can keep my HR in a realistic zone. Have a great week.

Bye GX!  Stay safe!  Best of luck in your 10k Saturday!

When signing up for my tri, the application asks for my time swimming 100 yards.  Do I put down my average speed for 100 yards of the tri's swim distance, or how fast I can swim 100 yards?  The difference is about 15 seconds.

It's a pool swim.  I don't mind people passing me, but I don't think I'd feel comfortable passing anyone during the swim.  It's kinda rude, right?

Congrat's GX....awesome job! Thanks for taking the win for our team! I'll be on vacation next week and will be missing you guys. Happy training while I'm gone! Go Team MO!
