kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 Part 2 - CLOSED (Page 163)

Wait, are you back with QT2??

And Yeah for me!!!!! You are racing Eagleman!!!!!!

  Not that I didn't want to be on top of my game before, but now..........

Great schedule for next season!!! 

So, my husband told me that he's feeling physically weak, and he wants to start running again.  He wants to do the Rock-n-Roll HM next October (here in Cleveland).  He found a plan that takes him up to the race (couch to marathon in a year).  He asked me to do this with him.  He wants to do a run/walk strategy and just have fun.  I am absolutely going to support him in this.  I know it's soon after IMMT, but I'm not going for any HM records.   I'm so excited for him (and for me...hope they secure some good musicians for the race).

**edited to add - I hope this is ok, Kelly.  He really wants me to do this with him, and I think it's important.  He had a hip replacement a year ago, so we're looking at running s-l-o-w-l-y!

That sounds awesome that you two will get to participate in the half together. 

Congrats, wish I could talk the wife into it.

No QT2.  I broke up with QT2 but kept Doug, just working with him outside of QT2. 

And yes, I'm very excited about Eagleman.

X2 (and yes, its fine)

For wicking and staying dry this is the BEST tri top / shorts I've ever used.  Absolutely fantastic.

Very chilly morning out on the road, but I got to see the sun rise.  Beautiful!  I still find running to be very empowering.  I love it!  

I felt that way yesterday on my run! It was also a beautiful crisp morning!

LIKE!

Up early for a swim & lower leg strength.  Did 3600 in pool today and felt totally spent by the end.  Made me realize just how long the iron distance swim is going to be next August.  

For IM swim, do you all just try to find a comfortable pace and keep it for the duration?  What is an average time for this length of swim (a time when lots of people are rolling in)?  

Most people finish in the 1:05 - 1:25 band.  You pretty much find a comfortable pace and go.  You're not going to make your day on the swim but if you're stupid you can break it.

This^^^^

Find your forever pace and swim, just keep swimming.  You do not want to burn any matches on the swim, and it's easy to do when you're all hyped up in the water with all those people.  It's really not that bad distance wise, even though it seems like it takes forever. =/

Carrie - I feel left out too, no races on my schedule either.

We do need to have a mentor group race meet up some day.

Best phrase ever.

I don't know what I'm doing between IMMT and IMFL.  There will be another 70.3 somewhere . . . just not sure of the date and the location.
