New user  126   NW Indiana |  Subject: RE: IronAnneKidd's Mentor Group - Closed for business!Day one of the 20 week program in the bag. Concerned about my swimming. Going to have to look into some sort of coaching I suspect. I've swam recreationally all my life, both in pool and open water and am comfortable in the water, but getting through the water for distance efficiently is all new to me. I am essentially starting from scratch.....but, I have 139 days to figure it out. |

Safety is my middle name GOOD! They are calling for snow to start falling her tonight, then tomorrow into Wednesday we are to get sleet and freezing rain. This may very well be the only day I work this week because I'm out on Thursday and Friday. |

Did a 10-miler yesterday (Tough Mudder) so I think whatever I do will be low key. Hope everyone stays safe and warm! |

How was the Tough Mudder? Thanks John and Anne! We had a good time (I did it w/my nephew) and were lucky that the weather was good. (In the 60's at the start; up to the high-70's by the end. It was 45 at the start on Saturday.) LOTS of mud. I had mud in my nose, ears, eyes and pretty much every other spot on my body. I have scratches and cuts on my shins and forearms from crawling through tubes and mud and rocks but had a good time! The worst part was the electric shock therapy at the end. You run through a mud pit with live wires hanging down. My shoe came off about 3/4 of the way through. I stopped to pick it up and got hit for the 3rd time! I finished with 1 shoe! I would do it again but would probably train more for it than I did this time. I would also recommend it! I'm going to talk my wife and her best friend into doing the run in Dallas in October. Should be fun! |

Expert 1075 Champaign Area, IL | Subject: RE: IronAnneKidd's Mentor Group - Open for business! karencpnp - 2011-01-29 3:14 PM Hey Anne, Room for one last one to sneak in before u close the gate? I've just signed up for the Iron Girl Triathlon in Atlanta on May 15th. I'm a total slug - except I can swim. Rode the Expresso bike at the Y twice in 2 weeks - 5 mi 'rides' - damn near killed me - so 18 mi is really gonna do me in! The run should be interesting - I broke my tib-fib 2 yrs ago and got a rod down my tibia for my troubles. Walking the dog last Sunday for 1.8 mi made the screws at my ankle kill - but then it went away. I don't dare run (and land hard) on my leg just yet. I just swam 40 laps in a little less than 40 minutes a little while ago. It's the first time I've been in a pool in over 2 yrs. It was all free style and some back stroke. I tried the breast stroke since I've been told that is a necessary resting stroke - I looked like I was having a seizure! I need a stroke class! I bought a Camelback today b/c I thought I would need a lot of water, only to read that it's sports drinks I should be drinking and not a whole lot of them even - so I'm definitely going to need help here!! Thanks, Karen Welcome to the group Karen |

Thanks, Karen Welcome Karen. Sorry for not replying earlier. Ok, first things first. Deep breaths, in with the good, out with the bad. Are you with me? Don't phone it in. Now... You'll be fine. Here's the thing, you don't have to go fast, you just have to go. You seem to have the swimming down, that's cool, that's most people's hardest part. You can't run yet, but you'll get there. You had a rough day on the bike, you'll get there, too. Do you have a training plan to follow? As for what you drink when, it's totally personal. Just because someone else only drinks sports drinks, it doesn't mean water won't work for you. I just take water on a run unless I'm going more than around 8ish miles, or it's particularly hot that day. The main thing is you have to find what works for you. During training you can try new things and see what works and what doesn't, so come race day you'll be ready. You don't want to be trying new things on race day. Hang out with us, ask questions, read through the other forums, and you'll be a triathlete before you know it! |

Regular 71 | Subject: RE: IronAnneKidd's Mentor Group - Closed for business! Just got back from the gym. Swam 600m (8x75 30secs rest between). Feel ok. Now I know how much better it is to get there early in the a.m. without having to deal with all the horseplay going on. |

Champion 16743 Somewhere I can be nekidd | Subject: RE: IronAnneKidd's Mentor Group - Closed for business! Good morning everyone! Everything is ice here today so I am home again. Most likely I will only work 1 day this week. It irks me I have to use my vacation time during the winter, I'm really hoping they eventually close the base so I don't have to burn my time. What's everyone have on tap for today? |
