Expert  937   |  Subject: RE: Penn State's mentor group - CLOSED!Update on OWS. As many of you know I work at the CNN affiliate here in Phoenix as a news cameraman. Today I had to edit a story that we did on a local musician that has a song on itunes. She claimed that she wasn't getting paid for all of the downloads. I had told my producer that I had to leave at 3:30 to make my OWS. She has known since the beginning of the week that this was my plan. Well she screwed me again today and I wasn't able to leave until 4:10. By the time I made it out the lake, they were almost done. It doesn't matter if it's track practice, swimming, doctors appt. She just doesn't care and I'm always late to everything. I think she's way in over her head with this job and I think the work speaks for itself. It wouldn't be a problem but people here in Phoenix want to work out around 5pm or earlier and I'm struggling to make this happen. Sorry to vent but now I have to go to plan B which is a 5 mile run and I'll do the OWS on Sunday. Hope everyone had a great day! |

I've been there and there's no easy solution. Luckily I have a new job and I couldn't be more happy with management. |

I know how frustrating it is when I miss a planned workout because I feel I need to stay at work. It must be so much worse when someone else is the cause.

Maybe start telling your boss you need to leave 30 minutes before you actually have to. Then you can try to get out at the time you actually want to? It might seem "sneaky" but some people don't seem to understand that everyone doesn't live for their job. |

Expert 943 Highlands Ranch, CO | Subject: RE: Penn State's mentor group - CLOSED! To all of you who are doing Ironman races this year. Would you mind just listing your race and date of race in the forum? I want to gather a list so that I can follow your progress during the races. I watched some of them on the internet (live) last season and am excited for the chance to follow people I "know". Hopefully they will be broadcasting it again on universalsports.com and I can catch you crossing the finish line |

I also wear a GPS tracker unit from http://MyAthlete.biz for all my races, so I'm easy to track. ;-) So I'll be trackable for my HIMs and marathons all year long as well. |

Ironman St. George - May 1 Bib #1055 Which happens to be the year my ancestors, the Welsh, sacked the Saxon hordes of England. Its a sign! If my wife is there she'll be updating the race via twitter.

Extreme Veteran 610 San Francisco CA | Subject: RE: Penn State's mentor group - CLOSED! furiousferret - 2010-04-15 9:05 PM calimavs - Your name wouldn't be referring to Mavericks would it? I grew up right up the road in Pacifica. Mavs was an old nickname of mine from college, doesn't have anything to do with Maverick's, but now that you mention it that would be pretty cool! My plan for this weekend is to actually take a rest day Saturday (oh the horror!) to drive out to Sacramento to visit some friends who just relocated from SoCal recently. Sunday I'll be riding about 35 miles with my husband and then doing a 55 minute run. And I'll be spending Friday night doing a much needed deep clean of my bike. Sort of crazy that I'm only a little more than 2 weeks out from Wildflower. |

Expert 1116 Thornton, CO | Subject: RE: Penn State's mentor group - CLOSED! I'm debating whether I should take my friend up on his offer to train with him. Saturday he's doing a 10 hour training day and I'm worried I won't be able to keep up with him. All he told me was he'd start off with about a 60mile road bike ride, then do a 10-15 mile run, then jump on the mountain bike. He mainly does adventure races (used to race for Osprey Packs a year or two ago, but not sure of his status now that he just had a baby... well his wife did). I went to support him during the 24 Hours of Triathlon last year that he did solo. He won it by doing 1.8 Ironman distances, plus 2 extra swims (so 2 Ironman distance worth of swimming and 1.8 distances on the run and bike). The guy who got second place did 1.6 distances. He's a machine! I've been scared to even attempt to train with him, but since he offered I'm thinking I at least try to stay with him for as long as I can. I'm sure it'll be a huge learning experience training with someone like that. But geez... talk about being intimidated. |

Hoping to run for 1 hour, swim for 1 hour and bike for 4 hours. You? Supposed to a 2.5 hour ride and a 1 hour brick, plus a swim tomorrow and then an hour ride Sunday. Between the forecasted crappy weather and a work meeting tomorrow, there may be some adjustment made. But, I will make an honest attempt to get it all in! |

| Expert 943 Highlands Ranch, CO | Subject: RE: Penn State's mentor group - CLOSED! PennState - 2010-04-16 4:19 AM Lastly, my wife is currently out running. This of course alters my train in the morning routine, but we work together to get our workouts in. Anyone else have a partner that also trains? My significant other did one tri last year and joins me and my friends for an occasional run or bike ride but he has no plans to do another. However, he is a great supporter and photographer at the races and has gone above and beyond by living through more long mornings then he needs to. What is interesting is that after every race I have competed in, he is asleep on the couch before I have even finished rinsing out my wetsuit. One time after a race (Olympic) I had to have him pull over on the highway during an 1.25 hour drive home so that I could take over the driving as he was falling asleep at the wheel.

Ken, what are your goals for IMFL?Kath2163 - 2010-04-16 12:12 AM To all of you who are doing Ironman races this year. Would you mind just listing your race and date of race in the forum?

Hopefully they will be broadcasting it again on universalsports.com and I can catch you crossing the finish line IMFL - November 6th! There are a lot of BT'ers going, of course there always is anymore with all the major IM's! At this point my focus is on Musselman with my training, but if I am successful in reaching my Musselman goal of 5:40 I think I can successfully hit my IM goal of 12:30. The HIM goal is an hour PR and IM is 90 minutes, but last year I was in terrible bike condition and I am correcting that! Between experience and the course I am comfortable with the IM goal at this point, but November is a long ways off. With any luck it wont be a 140.6 mile swim either! |

My wife doesn't race (other than the occasional 5k) but she does walk a lot everyday! Never a conflict though as my kids (they were with my first wife) are both grown. I do enjoy getting on the trainer if she is on the treadmill during the winter, or I will ride along on my mountain bike if I don't have my own workout planned. Good way to get some nice conversation time! |

| Extreme Veteran 318 Lunenburg, Nova Scotia | Subject: RE: Penn State's mentor group - CLOSED! Well, it turned into a pretty poor training week. I had meetings after school, and a few other obligations came up. I have a 5k race tomorrow, so hopefully this un-planned rest will help The race starts about 3km from my house, so I'll probably jog over to get warmed up. I'm really hoping for a sub 20 min (sub 23 might be more realistic) race, and a top 3 finish. I don't expect a lot of competition, since most of the "fast" runners around here tend to do the 10k when the option in there, but I'd be happy to have someone to push me.Less than 2 months until the official start of the multisport season for me, with a sprint duathlon. I have my bike at home now, so it's time to get it on the road (and yes, I do still plan on posting pics for my bike fit... stay tuned). Only about 2.5 months left of school, then I have my first summer off in... well, since 9th grade! |

My wife is slowly getting into endurance sports, but isn't quite yet there for tri's; she does walk a 5k a few days a week and does spinning with the occasional ride. Good luck on the race Wooden Bell, If you think you can podium just try to hang with the guy in first; that's always worked for me when I was fast! |
