gdale - Isn't Tri-Chic from Austin?!

Well folks.....I just did it. I just ran a 5K without stopping to walk! I am soooooo excited I can barely stand it! And it was an improvement on my time from when I'm on the TM (time is in my training log). So I guess I'll be ready for my race this weekend!

in your post on the garmin thread you wrote this.     "I notice that my power field will often blank out on the garmin like it is not receiving transmissions, but I cannot tell if this is also correlated to the 0 speed readings as that is not a data field I track. Any thoughts?"

query your file to 0 speed and you'll see that they do correlate. 

i've got to think its the garmin not the pt, as do you.  i also have to believe that somehow the 310 is measuring speed off the cadence.

interesting post from T_SMIT.   ha!  guess that means you should by an SRM.  then no worries!

jvanis - 2010-02-18 2:23 PM I have also read a few things about positioning of the unit (more related to Quarq users) but I may try to switch it to my right wrist and see if that helps any.

Awesome job Trina!  Good luck this weekend!!

I have some really good news to report.  I went to my buddy who is a sports doc today.  After some x-rays, he found scar tissue in the front of my ankle joint that is causing:  #1.  Restricted range of motion in my ankle (I can't stretch my soleus because of this), #2  Trying to stretch my soleus is pinching the soft tissue right in front of the scar tissue which causes it to become inflamed.  He seems to think ultrasound might break it up.  I am getting an MRI on Wednesday to check another area in the ankle, but from the x-rays, it looked okay too.  Next week, I am also going to my PT to get a Functional Body Screening of my lower body.  This helps determine which muscles are strong and which ones are weak and how the strong compensate for the weak.  Once this is determined, along with the MRI results, he is going to set up a stretching / strength training routine for me to strengthen all of my weak areas.  Definitely no surgery or delay in my training.  Finally, he definitley recommended I change running shoes.  I need more cushion and a little more control.  Woo hoo!

SSMinnow - 2010-02-17 12:11 AMOk, it is Wednesday CST, so I wanna know who is racing this weekend???? Goals???  If you aren't racing, are you starting a new training plan soon?  do tell.

gdctex - 2010-02-18 5:35 PM OK, here goes. I have an indoor tri on Sunday. This is the same event that was my very first tri that I did last year. So, it will be an opportunity for me to compare and see how much I have (hopefully) improved.

Chris: Great news on the foot. Keep us posted on the plan and progress. Glad you got it looked at.

Suzy: Aren't the monk seals very endangered these days? I thought I remembered hearing that on my last trip to Kona. If so, totally awesome that you got to spot one! And if not, still totally awesome as far as I'm concerned!

HORN-TOOTING:

Today I did a 2k tt in the pool (after a 7-mile track workout and lunch!). When I started my training program 5+ weeks ago, I did a 500 for time and it felt like crap and was a 7:19. The crap part was just that I felt like I had no swim endurance whatsoever and like I died after about 150 yards.

So today... for my tt I did a 28:04, and I split out my 500's and they were: 6:59,7:02,7:01,7:01 (1K was 14:02). Yay!! That is major progress for me and I was just thrilled, not only to beat that old 500tt time, but to be so consistent and hang on. Mentally I went into it thinking of 4x500, start out comfy and try to build. Of course I was also breaking it up into 10x200 and 8x250 and 5x400... playing tons of mind games with myself. But at each 500 I tried to hang on a little tighter and put a little more into it. I never checked my splits while I was swimming, just lapped my watch at the 500's, so was so surprised to see how I did. Yay!!
