Jackie, I'm pleasantly surprised to see your progress, today's ride was nothing short of great, leveled effort and HR, high turnover (91 average beats me), no coasting at all and everything in spite of the incredible winds (they got up to here too). Since you say you're feeling so strong, we'll concentrate during the weekdays on some speed. How's the schedule this week? Availability? |

Expert 1255 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Many Questions Barry, Jump in the water's fine  Now it's my turn to encourage you. The swimming clicked for me after a female triathlete told me she heard it takes 7 years to get good at the swim. Since it had only been a few months for me, I figured I'd relax about the MIG. It worked and it will for you also. Don't worry until it's been almost 7 years. Get chains for your bike and ride in the ice and snow. (just kidding) I used to live up north also. Just do a workout and question Ernesto. He's the bomb or is it he's a beast! Can you tell I teach high school? He has been invaluable to my training. Today I was dreaming about an Olympic after a Sprint. Are we nuts or what? I think I have been bitten by the bug. Let us know how you are doing. You are not alone, we are all virtually connected! |

I can't wait to watch you at IM Texas! Every night but Thursday is okay. Swimming usually works best for me on Monday or Tuesday. Other than that, whatever you recommend is fine. I like a plan based on need rather than a canned plan. |

Master 1609 Gold Coast Australia. | Subject: RE: Ernesto Villarroel's Group - FULL baurryman - 2011-02-27 6:47 PM markz - 2011-02-26 8:28 PM Hey Barry, Good to see someone who knows 'my hood'. I lived in Chicago for over 5 years and virtually all my long runs (and rides) were done on the lakefront path, sometimes South to Jackson Park, sometimes North to Navy Pier or Foster. I have also done 2 marathons in Chicago, few Olympic Chicago Triathlons and some other ones in Wisconsin. If you have enough guts to do the marathon in Chicago, the South Shore Tri will be a breeze, just do the swim in the wetsuit, that lake can be cold (you will also float much, much better)... Have fun training, get on that bike or put it on the trainer, get used to it and you will do fine. Thanks for the encouragement Mark. The lakefront path here is under quite a bit of renovation from downtown south to about 47th. street. I think some of the north end is also but I haven't been down that way in a while. I'm thinking about signing up for the Chicago Triathlon this year.(sprint, of course) It's a month after the South Shore tri. Barry, since Jackie mentioned Olympic after Sprint, I will mention that my brother, being 230lbs and 6', signed up for the Chicago Tri (Olympic distance) few years ago when we were both living in Chicago and finished without training at all. I mean zip, nada. I couldn't believe it myself, my approach it totally different (I actually like training), but anyway. Sure he was so wasted after the bike that hardly ran at all, but finished. We both had an absolute blast and he's been signing up every year since. Conclusion: there's nothing like Chicago Triathlon, you have to do it! And do not rule out the Olympic distance... |

I like a plan based on need rather than a canned plan. Then swim it is today! Start easy and try to relax in the water, fluid movement and FEEL the water being displaced in the catch phase. Go for as long as you want or can do, do not worry about the speed. Shoot, I wish I could see you swim so I could help some more! It is such a visual thing. If you have a digital camera that shoots video, try to get some footage and send it to me, I could do so much more. Tomorrow we'll run fast, details coming up, stay tuned... And btw, thanks for the kind words. That is my fuel to help you and knowing that you feel acomplished by your own merits. |

Expert 1255 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Many Questions Barry, Congratulations on signing up. Don't panic. Enjoy the training journey. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Day by day. Some days will be good and some will be better. Just remember we're setting an example for our couch potato friends. Someday the weather will improve in Chicago. I'm actually volunteering for a tri in two weeks just to see what one looks like. I've never been and I can't really tell much from those youtube videos. |

Master 2238 Dallas | Subject: RE: Ernesto Villarroel's Group - FULL jdiis - 2011-02-28 9:27 PM Oh Ernesto, No sweat, training while tired doesn't pay off. We'll do the swim tomorrow and the run on Wednesday, intensity will vary according to your level of energy but it would be good to get some speed stuff since Thursday is off. I've been thinking about races I could suggest for you to do, Texas Man here in Ray Roberts is very nice, It's a beach run into the water like in the ITU races and the run is in a shaded park, bike course is longer than a "normal" Sprint but I'm absolutely positive that it will be easy for you to finish by the time the race comes. I could get to see you as an added bonus, which would make it an incredible experience for me. Metroplex Super Srint is another candidate, it's actually shorter than a typical Sprint, the run is only two miles, the bike is super flat and fast and the swim is piece of cake. Have you decided which race to do? |

Congrats on your promotion! (and welcome to the miseries of time crunching schedules). I suffer the same syndrome. First and foremost I need to tell a few things for your own good: - Make sure you tell your wife in advance what you’re planning on doing and make sure she’s ok with it if you want to avoid conflict (been there, done that, got the t-shirt). - Do your own workout clothes laundry (trust me on this one). - Make the most out of your weekend stuff. 50% or more of your volume will have to be put during those two days. - Save weekdays for speed sessions and swims because they’re short. - Ditch the bike during the week unless it is really short (cycling takes the most time because you have to drive to the place, get ready, dressed up, etc.). - On weekends, put your workouts before anybody gets up in the house, that way family activities can still be done. Now, the Garmin DOES NOT record speed on the treadmill (unless you purchase the foot sensor), you can still put the forerunner on and keep tabs on your heart rate. The mileage and speed you get it from the treadmill itself. Garmin connect lets you “edit” the workout and put the mileage later. Give me a couple of days to think about your schedule. |

Have you decided which race to do? Ok I have swim video. Unfortunately it's way big 22 MB. I notice some things I need to fix. I'll be at the Keller tri on March 13. I'll be done working there about 10:30 AM. Maybe we can get together and I can show you the video or you can watch me swim somewhere. I was thinking about signing up for the Benbrook Tri at the end of March. I'd like to do one in a pool before I move to "open" water. OK coach. I feel the need for speed. Track work tomorrow? |

Unfortunately, I'll be in Puerto Rico by that time. Yes, do the track today, warm up easy (jog) for 4 laps and then 200M (1 lap) fast and one lap recovery, you can walk during the recovery if you want to bring the HR down but its important to go fast when doing your interval. Do at least 4 repeats, five if you can and then warm down. You'll feel ready to crash when you're done. About the video, have you tried youtube? You can upload it and send me a link. Enjoy! |

Well im going to plan it trough ... anybody else intrested??? we could have some t-shirts printed out.. I see there are advantages to being single, yes? I'm definitely in for spectating at IM Texas. What should the t-shirts say BT's Best Mentor - Go Ernesto! or maybe little banners or balloons for more visibility? Edited by jdiis 2011-03-02 10:37 PM |

Expert 1255 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Ernesto Villarroel's Group - FULL Track intervals completed. They were brutal, but I think I see a hint of progress. I originally thought the swim was going to be the show stopper, but now I'm thinking it might be the run that needs the most work. |
