kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 Part 2 - CLOSED (Page 151)

I am off untill Thanksgiving that will be 3 weeks with NO planned workouts. Thanksgiving morning I will do a Turkey Trot or take a run with my wife!!

Dec 1st back to the Grind~~  I am going to try to pull off 2 Sub 5 HR 70.3's this coming season.

The off season focus will be all high intestity high power efforts. This last year has been a bout building a engine how this year is about making that engine faster before taking another leap into IM hopefully in 2014

My massage person did a deep tissue onme last Tuesday and I still feel as if my legs have no Pop or snap in them she assured me it would be back!!

I have my pre-race massage next wed. before USMC

1:30 on the trainer this morning.  The power went out 3 times.  Really bizarre to be sitting on the bike in the darkness like that.  LOL  I think I have a head cold.  Not surprised with the airplane travel, museums, and lines this past weekend.  Just hope it doesn't make its way to my lungs.

Late 1 hr 40 min workout last night + early 1 hr 30 min workout this morning = starbucks this morning!!!  (very rare)

EXHAUSTED .....

I had a psoas issue last year -- not fun.  There's not much you can do for groin issues other than ice and be nice to them.

I just hope it heals enough to get me throught the marathon. Ice baths for the legs may be in order.

Congratulations, Scott!  Fantastic!  Looks like you're stuck in the Bippity Boppity Boo boutique in Cinderella's castle for a while longer.    

Thats funny but I will say I do enjoy both flavors I have!!

My girls like football, have the patience to sit through a baseball game, enjoy going to races, one so far seems to be athletically gifted and the other is the most loving person walking the face of the earth.  Can't ask for much more. 

Congrats! My wife would be jealous! I am sure ya'll are a little relieved now though.

I don't know that I could ever handle having girls.  The risk of a girly girl is  scary.

Tell me about it.  Both of mine have girly girl tendencies.  A full on girly girl might kill me.

I was teasing you, Scott.  I think it's wonderful.  I have 3 younger sisters, and the youngest happens to be one of my best friends in the world.  I hope your wife is able to relax and enjoy the rest of her pregnancy.  

I know you were teasing.  Maybe that's more just me trying to wrap my head around more princesses, pink, puple, etc.  I hope she's able to relax too.  She's been killing me.

Scott,

What is your weight? And how windy is it where you will be racing? 

60/60 is safe for sure but The 90 in the rear will be faster. I raced a 404/808 combo at LP and I rode a Hed Jet 6 and a TRI spoke in IM Flordia no problems and had no problems in the wind. Bryan Dunn rode a 808/808 in Kona granted he is a Urber-biker.  

Unless there's a serious issue with wind, I would go with the 60/90 and wheelcover. 

Everyone -- take a look at this thread -- http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=463300&posts=17&start=1

BT is looking for suggestions on how to improve mentor groups.  If you have any suggestions please post them.

I'm 165.  Pretty sure the disc cover would live on the rear for the most part since I don't see myself racing a non disc legal race anytime soon (maybe IMCOZ, but IDK).  Not sure I ride fast enough to get a ton of benefits from the 9 in front instead of the 6.

Swim & strength this morning.  I've missed the last couple swim workouts.  It was nice to be back in the water!!  I have Saturday off, and it's date night for my husband and me.  Sunday I have a run & core work on tap.  

What are you all doing this weekend?  

Short run tonight, long run tomorrow, and run Sunday.  Maybe a short easy bike Sunday afternoon.

Tom is brewing another batch of beer tomorrow, and we have painters coming to paint the back of our house.

"Dinner party" Saturday night at my old bosses house.  More of a get together with some former co-workers and having a meal.

The last two mornings I've had a headache.  Yesterday my eyes were all puffy.  Today I feel yuck!  Not enough to say I'm sick, but just not great.  Hoping I feel better as the day goes on.
