kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2011 Part 2 - CLOSED (Page 14)

Have fun, Kelly!

This evening, I'm running after work. Saturday I'll hit the pool after work I think. Sunday is the 5 mile breast cancer walk, but the weather is turning to crap, so we might not do that.

bryancd - 2011-04-28 8:35 PM I LOVE good natured smack talk. You both are course clutter, by the way...

Nah, you're too fast for me to be your course clutter, however, Rudy and I will beat the crap out of you after the race and steal your medal... if you stick around that long

Swam this morning, will try and get a brick in this afternoon, its beautiful out and want to try and get outside.

Jen, but the crossover is MUCH better in the second vids, that is good, i always try to over exemplify the forward stroke, almost like feeling i am trying to get my arm outside my body line. That really helped me get rid of my cross over.

that is a great swim time for a 100, congrats on your progress!!!

ROTFLMAO!

Bryan, i updated my blog title just for you.....

Long ride on Saturday, lookin to get 3-4 hours and long run on Sunday, hoping for about 10 miles

Goals for May:

bike:  500 miles

run: 75 miles

swim: 25000 meters

keep me honest!!!

whats with the use of the metric system for the swim goal?  personally, I always set my swim goals in leagues.

Good luck this weekend, Kelly!

Rudy - I am doing the same thing - keeping my arms really wide (because what was wide in my head really wasn't in reality....so I'm thinking REALLY wide now...LOL).  Thanks for taking a look! 

Thank you all for looking at my swim videos.  It's still a work in progress.  I'll probably have another analysis done at the end of the summer. 

Tomorrow I have a long bike scheduled.  I need to work on my handling skills.  Sunday I have an 11-miler scheduled + an afternoon swim.  I have to get up around 4:30 both days, so I'm not burdening my husband too much.  Yuck.  I want sleep!!!!!  We're going to see Jon Stewart do some stand up comedy on Saturday (prob some Brazilian food and drinks beforehand). 

I tihnk Rudy's goal for May should be to bike more miles than me.

zero chance he could do that, what your goal about 150,000 miles? to the moon and back?

It'll likely be be just about 1,000.

what are we wagering??

La Fitness pool is 25 meters, i measured it.

The USA is one of like 3 countries in the WORLD that still uses the SAE system of measurement, I believe the other 2 are third world. I would love to go totally metric, sooooo much easier.

that is exactly how i fixed mine and how i was, but a word of warning, it takes practice, i still find myself reverting back to the wrong way every now and again, and then i have to concentrate on getting them back wide. It makes such a huge difference on how your body is able to rotate.

I hear ya, these races are scary! motivates you to train though.  and if you train you can eat!

WELL I CERTAINLY LOVE TO EAT!

Rudy, 500 miles??? Awesome.

Kelly, 1,000 miles? That's just sick

You're both motivating to me though.  I'll set a goal for 300 and 55 miles running.

Took half day off work since the weather was nice.  Felt great actually riding in the warm weather. I live at the highest elevation in town, and it's a 2.5 mile climb to get back home, no matter which road I take. It always kills my average speed!  Ughhhh.  I guess the descent did help me though.

31.7 miles, 2,356 climbing. 17.6 mph.  No clue if that is a lot of climbing for that distance but felt good until the last climb

i need a new ruler

i have been on the wrong end of the bdunn beatdown this week, now i know how your competition feels, as it is the closest i will probably ever be!!!  LOL

Exciting!
