Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() MDHillSlug - 2009-08-16 8:26 AM As the day wore on yesterday my feet started feeling worse and worse to the point where they ended up hurting more than ever before (the right heel more than the left forefoot). I definitely won't be running again this week and I don't know what I'll be able to do at all between now and my tri. I'm already scheduled to see my foot doc the last week of the month but I think I'll call tomorrow and see if I can move it up. Yes, I can still bike and swim (although finding an open county pool to swim at is currently a challenge). I guess I'll be well rested for the Oly. good luck...quick healing and no more pain thoughts are heading your way! take care girl...thanks for the update...why are all your pools closed? |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Girl Passing on Left - 2009-08-17 6:31 AM dcon - 2009-08-16 2:27 AM Hi everyone. I just finished a taperish kinda week. It did include two bricks (the swim/bike brick was no fun as the lake was really wavy - see my logs for the long version). I also got in a 10k run in pretty warm weather. Quick question for those of you who have lots of swimming experience. I have done 1500 meters a few times now without stopping and 1000 meters a few times too. Every time I did this, I had a good 1000 meters of warm-up in until I felt like my breathing was right to do the longer swim. Anyone else have this kind of problem? Any suggestions on how to deal with it? I doubt I'm going to be able to get much time in the water before the tri starts, but I will try. They have some kind of opening ceremony from 8:30-9:00 and the race starts at 9:00. Second question: if I do get into the water earlier - say like 8am - is it better to just go in without my wet suit? I don't want to end up wearing the wet suit for over an hour before the race starts. wow...nice job swimming in the choppy water...as for the warming up...some people do and if you find you can warm up for some time and still do the distance...I say go for it! It definitely will help you to relax...just like running and biking...it takes some time to reach that wall and find that comfort level...I would definitely have my suit on and be prepared...does yours zip..then you can open it up and pull it down to your waist and walk around before you get back in to race past your wave! also you did just what they say to do ....fill up the suit with water when you are exiting..this will help to keep it from suctioning up to your body...and make it a TAD easier to get off...I still always struggle with mine! haha when is your race? sounds like you have one soon with this brick and taper talk....? Thanks Julie. Oly on Aug 23. My wet suit is a two piece and I'm only planning to wear the bottom half - makes it very easy to get out of especially if I take it off right after coming out of the water. Since T1 is about 300 meters away, I'm going to take it off as soon as I come out. |

Im soo excited for you...just remember to be calm in the water...long strides...and...just swim like you do in the pool...dont think about where you are...try and get on someones feet that swims about the same speed as you...and just follow him in...just make sure he is not off course! haha....have fun! good luck...god speed and all that stuff! Hope you have great conditions...cool...but not too cool and NOOOO wind! |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Thanks Julee...I think we need a new sport (ie moving) in our training log. Yes, I am hiring movers. I am trying to get into my townhouse a little earlier. Looks like the ex and I will be moving out of the house at around the same time. I have movers and he's going to move himself (should be interesting). Will be glad when it's all over and I am in my own place. Dan...good luck on your Oly. I will be thinking of you. Nicole...Hope you get in to see the doc. this week. Hopefully they can sort this thing out. Has anyone heard from Allyssa, Susie or Yvonne? I hope they're doing o.k. Have a wonderful day everyone...
Girl Passing on Left - 2009-08-15 2:18 PM kew - 2009-08-15 1:33 PM Nicole...I feel for you. You hang in there. Julee...I move September 24th. Can hardly wait. Having a hard time finding the time to get a workout in after work and I have to get up so darn early if I want to workout before I leave. Going to try to find (no make the time) to go at least 3 times a week on my lunch break. Hope everybody is having a good weekend. ahhhh sweetie...moving is training...just cross training! |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hi everyone! Before I forget -- Dan, good luck on your Oly this weekend. It should be fun, fun, fun! I'm taking a rest day today (if you can call work "rest"). I didn't have the heart to go out and run in the rain this morning, because the rain had a name -- "Tropical Storm Claudette". I shouldn't have been such a wimp because it really wasn't bad, rainy with a little wind. But just the idea of being out in it was just too much. Let's hope that Ana continues to dissipate and Bill tracks up to the middle of nowhere. Then we can be done with hurricane season. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I don't think Amy spends much time here lately, so I thought I'd let everyone know what she said about her tri on facebook (Amy, I hope you don't mind!): "It was a great day!!! I love all my fabulous Tribuddies, they are special people. I enjoyed the entire experience!!!! Swim was ok, bike was wonderful~~~~~Run was...let's just say I was the pavement, not the steamroller..ha Thanks to the Y, the volunteers and to all the people I heard cheering me on... It was great!!!! Not I'm off to the next adventure!!!!" |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Did someone say something about cold weather ... Julee, can you bring some of that with you as well as the rain when you come this way? Cheri, glad that Claudette wasn't any worse for you. That is the kind of rain we need here. Nicole, sorry that your foot isn't feeling any better. Were you able to get back in to the doctor? Dan, good luck to you this weekend! Karen, hang in there. You are going to have a wonderful new home! Hope everyone is doing okay. My son is playing flag football for the first time, after playing baseball for 4 years, and his first practice was today ... school starts on Monday ... and the days are getting shorter ... guess my summer break is just about over. This has been the hottest summer that I can remember in a long time, and I'm ready for the cooler weather. |
