Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hi, My metric century charity ride was today! The weather was a bit cooler than expected, and cooler than I was prepared for so I ended up buying some leg warmers. Wore them for the first 21 miles. I also had arm warmers that I kept on for most of the ride and kept pulling up and pushing down as I got cold or hot. Arm warmers rock! I ended up getting into a little pace line for the first 21 miles so I was able to draft and conserve my energy. Those miles went by very quickly. Unfortunately, those guys didn't want to take the rest stop so I dropped out and, well, rested. There was a rider vs dog incident within the first 10 miles with a rider going down; I almost got caught up in a pile up behind him. I don't know if he was ok or not. Heard about a rider getting a speeding ticket for doing 42mph in a 35mph zone. I bet he considers that a badge of honor! The fastest I saw was 33mph. The route had most of the hills in the middle, which was nice. It meant that you were warmed up before you started having to work really hard and that it wasn't so bad towards the end when you were really tired. Around 48 miles I was pretty much ready for it to be over but I still had 13 miles to go. The last 6 were particularly hard because the outer part of my quads were starting to cramp up. Ended up finishing the whole 61.5 miles (1 km short of 100!) in just over 4 hours, at a 15.2mph pace. This was faster than anything I expected. So far I've raised about $1550. Donations can still be accepted for about another 2 weeks. |

Is everyone recovering from a big run or race day? I just got back from visiting my relatives. We need to head out of here about 6:15am to get up to my ride! Will be going to bed soon. Good luck tomorrow! Hope you have a great ride!! Have lots of fun!!! Let us know how your arm warmers work. ![]() Arm warmers totally ROCK! I wore them for most of the ride and kept pulling them up and pushing them down as I got cold or hot. Awesome! I love arm warmers for that reason. |

The.WORST.62.miles.EVER. Seriously. My afternoon has been spent in tears. I'm just glad it's over and I'm back in my pj pants. |

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Another Central Park run this morning, called The New York Mini 10k. It's the oldest women's only race, started 38 years ago. Not sure about the Mini part, since it is 6.2. Usually NYRR races have lots of "characters." Always great people watching. Not many costumes today, but some pretty inspiring sights. In the chutes I was next to Team G'ma. That was Grandma Judy who was turning 70 this week and running with her daughter and 3 granddaughters. The #1 finisher in the 75 - 79 age group finished in 52:31....well ahead of me. Also saw a woman in full muslim garb and headress...she had to be so hot, but she was ahead of me the entire race. There were pro's running and the # 1 finisher was Rose Kosgei, who finished in 32.43...I wasn't even at the halfway mark at that time. Perhaps the most inspiring though was a women who'd lost one leg from the knee down and was running with crutches. Love running in CP. |

So it is confirmed that I run slower than a 70+ year old!! Oooh, and I bet the lady on crutches inspired many...how do you even do that? Sounds like you had a great day! |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I've been there many a times. Keep on keeping on. You'll figure out the magic combo of effort vs. nutrition. Plus periodically we all have bad days. Hang in there. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() We're doing well. I have faith that this team will kick butt! I had a hilly week. I biked up Mount Diablo and then camped with the boy scouts on the same hill. I finished with week end with a 47 minute run that had 1200 feet of climbing. I need more hill work--I was beat. |

Mmmm, I usually do them on Sunday, since I have time on Sunday. But I didn't specify dates in the Announcement, like I usually do. (I wasn't near a calendar, and I got lazy. LOL) Eh. I guess I can do them on Monday. Or maybe I'll just mix it up and pick some random days. LOL ![]() |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() thank you so much to everyone who gave me an inspire for the race this weekend, but unfortunately i did not perform well. It was olympic distance and i was exiting T2 at 1:45:00 and with how awesome my run training has been, breaking 2:30:00 seemed inevitable. As soon as i exited transition the abdominal craps started. I've never been in so much pain. It took me 23 minutes to cover the first two miles. After that I finallly gave into the pain and stayed at a pace that was barely tolerable (about 9:30). I wanted to cry because I knew I was throwing a great race and all my hard training away, but there was nothing I could do. I hope others had a better weekend than me! |

Is everyone recovering from a big run or race day? Soccer tournaments all day in the rain. 9.3 mile run in the cold (50 F) and rain... And this is supposed to be fun right? |

Sorry about your race, Do you know what caused the cramping? not enough nutrition? too much? not enough water? Hopefully you can learn from it and move on. Sounds like the rest of the race was going great! And you did stick it out and finish! |
