Master  1726     Sacramento, California |  Subject: RE: Team Peep Show - The SequelMorning All I got my swim and my ride in last night...but it meant breaking my no eating after 9pm rule...Hopefully the increased metabolism from working out will counteract the decreased metabolism from eating right before bed! |

But now I'm hungry again because I think all the eating fired up my appetite. I'm going to be a big ball of blubber soon. It'll help you swim. Think of a whale. Uh, wait. I don't think I helped.... Ummmm... DOLPHINS. Yeah, that's it. Think of a dolphin.  (My bag of Pepperidge Farm Double Chocolate Milanos, which I opened earlier today, is now gone. Which tells you what direction I'm going in, too. I'm feeling a tad whalish tonight....)  LOL, my blog title over Christmas was "It's a Good Thing Fat Floats" |

Pro 4608 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: Team Peep Show - The Sequel wieczynski - 2009-03-06 8:55 AM Good morning! I'm 5/5 and will be six for six today! My heal is bothering me this week. :-( Ps. YOu guys are one talkative group! Hi Geoff. Do you have plantar fasciitis issues? That usually is the culprit behind heel pain. There are some simple things you can do daily to keep that under control if you catch it early. Nice work on getting the peaches every day! |

Pro 4608 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: Team Peep Show - The Sequel Offthegrid - 2009-03-06 8:58 AM I'm goin' swimming tonight, but I'll probably only be doing like 300-500 yards! Ha! I'm trying to do some major stroke rehab, and I'm going to do a billion drills and floating schtuff and I don't want to do "junk" yardage, so I just quit when I can no longer maintain the new form and revert to old habits. Also maybe I'll give my new roomie's "pilates for dummies" DVD a go. She warned me how awfully difficult it is ... Pilates is awesome. I got two free sessions at my gym as a new member in their studio with all the cool torture-device looking equipment and it was great. Once I'm less broke, I plan to do a session each week sort of as a treat and to replace some of my boring strength training. Let us know how it goes! I bet your core will be hurting tomorrow! |

I want to do an Ironman next year and that's the closest one. The only problem is that it is on the same date as the Iowa-Iowa State football game. There are several problems with this: 1. I am a die hard hawkeye fan and missing this game is a BIG deal. 2. The game is being played in my back yard. 3. I have a ton of friends who return to Ames just for this event, some of whom I'm lucky to see even once a year 4. I missed the last game that was in Ames due to being in a frickin wedding (Seriously this guy is a huge football fan. A lotta people were pissed. We caught the fourth quarter from the limo, but it wasn't the same) 5. I still catch grief for for missing that game to this day. 6. I still catch grief for missing other televised Hawkeye games last year due to training and/or racing.
No contest in my opinion. The IM experience is way better than anything I've ever done. I was out there from 6am to midnight and was actually sad it was over. You should do it! Despite all of the "cons" I've listed I'm still about 95% leaning towards volunteering this fall Plus you would get to meet a bunch of us and have a good time! And have the pleasure of watching Phil and I race! I'm sure he'll beat me. He's been training since last summer or something. |

Pro 4608 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: Team Peep Show - The Sequel So now that i'm caught up on posts, good morning team. Today will be a strange one. I woke up with hideous throat pain and my throat is actually swelled. I'm waiting to see if being up and having some hot beverages helps. I have a relatively short, but intense trainer ride today (all anaerobic) and really want to make up yesterday's swim. I'm going to wait 30 minutes, confirm I don't have a fever and then do what feels right. As luck would have it, I scheduled a call with my coach today so I can talk to him about this as well. |

Weather should be fine, possible rain, though. Getting some gels tomorrow. I'm always thinking if that 15 weeks of base paid off or not. Holy carp! A trial mary. That is awesome! Best of luck with it! Thanks, Neal. Not running it hard, but keeping in check with the HR and nutrition. It will be a little slow and progressive. Coach is looking for a negative split in the 2nd half. |

That's pretty cool that you're doing it. Good luck! Yeah. He's living vicariously through me because he gets into it. He's done Kona twice in his life. His times were just over 10 hours, give about 10 to 17 min. I'm lucky to get some feedback for free! Sounds like a great coach! He started out as an acquaintance. Then started talking with him more and we became somewhat distant friends. He is one of the most upbeat, sociable, and EXTREMELY positive guys I know - always fun to talk with. |

It is salt water. It also is outdoors so it is closed for half of the year. LazyMarathoner - 2009-03-05 10:04 PM 1stTimeTri - 2009-03-05 2:56 PM LazyMarathoner - 2009-03-05 9:00 AM Morning. Ah, sleeping in until 7 was absolute bliss. I could get used to that, but better not. I have a big swim tonight, a little over 3,000. That will be my peach for the day! What's the setup - yards or meters? One pool is yards, one is meters. The pool tonight was meters. I think I'll do it in the yards pool tomorrow though. It's closer. All Americans swim in the yards pool, and everyone else hits the metric pool? I've always wanted to try swimming in a longer pool. Since I've never bothered to learn flip turns I waste a lot of time at the wall I don't do flip turns - you don't do those in the open water, do you? Yeah, it slows you down at the pool, but I don't care myself. I wear baggy swim trunks, too, which adds a lot of resistance. |

I am going to have to show this part of the thread to my DH...He always trains sooo poorly for the marathon...and then wonders why he crashes into the wall at 100mph...If he would just train for it intelligently it would be so much better |

I've gotten really fast with turns at the wall, you can minimize the time wasted but it will always slow you a bit. But I'm a firm believer that flip turns diminish the workout a bit. People push off the wall so hard they end up gliding a fourth of the length, which doesn't help much for endurance training. |

Funny thing, my coach noted last night that I was actually keeping up with a couple of the guys in the fast lane until we got to the wall, where their fancy flip turns would instantly gain them at least a body length on me coming off the wall. |
