Anyway, it's a week of firsts for me. Today I did a swim TT: 500 yards in 2:17 - and I was purposely going slow so that I wouldn't run out of breath. I'm thinking I'm going to be ready for Lonestar - never thought I'd be able to do it. Starting from scratch 10 weeks ago - who knew? P.S. Tried on my wetsuit yesterday and had to run and lock myself in the bathroom. *blush* Let's just say hubby really liked the wetsuit look. |

Always nice to have some husband support too. That 500y looks a little fast to me.....my 100s are a little over 2:00 and I am pretty darn slow.

Master 1675 Suwanee, Ga. | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED I'm going to Beach-2-Battleship Full Ironman this year....wooo hooo!!! No, I'm not racing it but my BT Friend AbbieR is going and she is going to do Vineman 70.3 with me in 2011 so with her coming all the way to the east coast I am going to go and cowbell/jockstrap/etc. for her in N.C. This will be the first Full IM I have ever seen and I am real excited about it. I did a sprint in the same area in 2008 and it is a great area for tri events. Hope everyone has a great week of training and some wonderful weather. Steve |

Expert 1027 | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED Kyla 20% off Infinit order: LTFMN73 I did my 20 min TT again tonight and came up with 224 watts which seems to be probably more accurate than my previous 260ish. I did a few peaks at the end and managed to get 834 for my 5 second max. 934 is what my meter shows as the max for the workout. Time to revise my zones tomorrow and see if that makes a difference in my workouts. I think I have a bit of an issue pushing myself to that extreme when biking. I can make myself run until I want to get sick, but on the bike my legs fatigue before I get to that point. I found my HR sat right at 170, and all in all I am hovering right at about 2.9 watts/kg |

CLOSED jvanis - 2010-02-22 9:19 PMKyla 20% off Infinit order: LTFMN73 Kewl -- thanks a ton!!And yeah, I'm with you (now power, just HR and RPE/Garmin cadence/speed) in that it's hard to push myself to the biking extreme. My problem is the pacing. I think I have more running experience so I know how hard I can push and still have enough to finish a given time or distance. But also I do find that my legs can't keep up with where I want my HR to go on some days. I've always wondered if that is just not having as good of bike conditioning?

Only problem is we will be AT work when it comes in. Hopeing the school calls with a closure so I can go home. You know that .5 inch that isn't going to accumulate might be dangerous. |

A couple years back we got snow during the day, and it was about 2 inches an hour. I left from work at 3 and got home at 7:15 that night, 26 mile drive. I could have run home in the same amount of time it took to drive! Ughh. And I happened to be in a car with no radio that day. |

Expert 945 Auburn AL | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED WARNING: Here come the snake oil, witchdoctor, voodoo or whaterver but... I have never been one of these people that believed or used these copper bracelets or magnetic contraptions, but the other day a friend gave me what is called a POWER BALANCE bracelet which has a frequency programmed into it. To make a long story short, there are some balance tests which seem to work, but the kicker was, I told the guy that gave it to me that if it helped my back at all, I would be SOLD. My lower back has been hurting for 2 solid years...just part of life. Well, after a couple weeks wearin g this bracelet, my back feels about 85% better...and I don't think it is a coincidence. Now if it would help my ITB  Check it out www.powerbalance.net |

Expert 1007 Missouri | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED Morning guys! Sorry about the little rant yesterday. I'm not sure why it bothered me so much - I'm not, and have never been, a competitive person (at least I didn't think so |
). Anyway, I'm feeling better about it today. I think it's motivated me to work a little harder on my running. I had a really easy 4 mile run last night - felt like I could have kept going in fact, but didn't want to overdo it too much. I've already had a short swim this morning and I've got Pilates class tonight. | 2010-02-23 9:44 AM in reply to: #2555972 |

Master 1478 Horseheads, NY | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED soccermom15 - 2010-02-23 10:43 AM Morning guys! Sorry about the little rant yesterday. I'm not sure why it bothered me so much - I'm not, and have never been, a competitive person (at least I didn't think so Janet - I have only used a sleeveless suit. The water temp at my first tri last year was 61 deg (brrrrrr). I used a neoprene cap too which really helped. Once I started swimming, I was fine with a sleeveless. I bought the sleeveless because I was concerned about arm mobility, especially in the entry level model that I was purchasing (Xterra Vortex 2 - really happy with that suit!). I also thought it would be easier to get off in transition. All that being said, more rubber in the suit (ie, sleeves) means more bouyancy which should translate to easier swimming. Also, if you have any aprehension about the OWS, the more bouyancy the better...just a little piece of mind. I just purchased a full sleeved suit for my wife who is doing her first tri in June. There are as many fans of sleeveless as there are of full sleeves. In the end, it comes down to personal preferance. It is great that you have that demo to go to. Take full advantage of that if you can make the time. It is not often that you will get to try on and test several different wetsuits all at once. It will be a great way to tell what is best for you! |

Champion 7163 Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED I have a full sleeve Blue Seventy Helix which is very lightweight with extra stretchy material around the shoulders for ease of movement. I had a cheaper Nineteen as my first suit and for short distances, Sprints to Olys it was fine, although less forgiving in the shoulders. You also get some flotation from those sleeves. The temps you describe suggest to me that a full sleeve would be the way to go...upper 60s/low 70s is still cold water. soccermom15 - 2010-02-23 9:43 AM Morning guys!
