Mett - 2010-06-15 10:21 AM I need some recommendations for a good playlist while running/biking. I am in to really any type of music.

jvanis - 2010-06-15 11:33 AM

The sound of nature/cars on the bike. It is dangerous to have music on while riding period.

Workout Music:
3 Doors Down - The Champion in Me
Pop Evil - 100 In A 55
Miley Cyrus - The Climb (hey you said anything)
Buckcherry - Crazy B1tch
Disturbed - (Believe, Stricken, Down with the Sickness, 10 Thousands Fists, Into the Fire)
Fort Minor - Remember The Name
Flobots - Handlebars
Hoobastank - Running Away
Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff
Linkin Park - Bleed It Out , What I've Done
Spiderbait - Black Betty
Kanye West - Love Lockdown

Anything 3 Days Grace, 3!oh3, Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin, Seether, Shinedown

I actually dont listen to much at all working out anymore, I enjoy just getting out and running and listening to my body on the run.

jvanis - 2010-06-15 10:37 AM My run has gotten significantly faster, thus far I have been in the low 7s for my 2 races thus far.

What tempo?  I have several playlist depending upon what I am trying to focus on  - fast for high tempo / high cadence (95rpm) on the bike, med for most all workouts and slow for long run...  Single best CD that I have for working out to is Goin' South and the platinum edition of same....  Different artists, great songs, decently fast tempo...  I've done dozens of runs to this stuff, also like me some Tom Petty and then all the 80's stuff (I have a couple of compilation multi disc sets) that Iused to go dance clubbin' to back in my mispent youth...

I honestly own no music by any of these people/groups.

ashort33 - 2010-06-15 11:48 AM

Me neither - is that because we have fallen into the "old fart" category?  Redeeming thought - I have at least heard of a couple of the groups....

dalessit - 2010-06-15 10:52 AM

I have just about all that music on my playlist except Miley Cyrus, Jeff, come on dude!!!

Also have the theme from Karate Kid, Mortal Combat, Rocky (both Eye-of the tiger and the theme from Rocky 1) and the Matrix.

Mett - 2010-06-15 10:56 AM I am nervous, I am less than 30 days until I turn 30.

Pull up your big-boy underwear and deal with it...  Most of us can't even see that in the rear view mirror anymore

Lol!  I had to throw something random in there to spark some conversation.  A little Cascada - Everytime We Touch, like I said, I have a huge variety of music and I am not ashamed of any of it!

jvanis - 2010-06-15 11:52 AM Hah I figured I would get some of that, its a younger group of music that is on my phone right now.  Have a ton on my ipod at home that has all sorts of other music, Rolling Stones, The Doors, Metallica, Sinatra, Classical, Top 40, Techno, I am somewhat of a music junkie.  I would hate to go back and count how many CD's I actually own.  It was a process converting them all to MP3s!

How about this for a swbkrunmg get together

jvanis - 2010-06-15 11:12 AM I am going to take a moment and communicate goals for my next race on the 27th.  I seem to do better when I let my goals be known.

Background: Did this as my second race last year and learned a lot.  The swim, big chop along the lines of 2.5 ft white caps.  Certified USAT course, so I know distances are accurate.  The swim got cut to 1/4 mile for AG'rs, it was a whole new experience for me.  There were 20 MPH winds in our face as we went out, which happens to be where all the climbs are, and its pretty hilly.  The way back in was nice to cruise.  The run was quite warm, borderline hot with a lot of up and down, very few flats. 

14 Jeff Vanis         Apple Valley   MN  26 M   11  9:15  2:06    2:41   16 1:07:13  17.9    0:50   17   37:49  9:28 1:57:45 

So my goals for this year:
Swim (1/2 mile):  15 minute swim, yes it only puts me at 1:50/100, but I am planning for chop, I have never been on the lake when it wasn't fairly rough.

<1:30 T1

Bike(20 Miles): 21 MPH average(57:08), but more concerned that my power comes out to 240.  I am going to push hard on the bike,and if my run suffers, then it will be what it is, but it will give me a better estimate of what I can race.

<1:00 T2

Run(4 Miles): 7:15/mile = 29 minutes total

Overall: 1:43:38 (With ideals going below 1:40)

Hope to make this a race I can hit the podium on, then again it all depends who shows up that day, but I needed to talk through numbers and communicate it out.  After getting through the MS150 this weekend, I think I cleared a mental hurdle that should help in racing and being able to push a bit harder.

Thanks for listening to me ramble off my goals!

Just makes me nervous, its crazy to think I am 30. On a side note, is anyone here an artist? I need to get my tat redone and would like to have a custom one. I just cant come up with any ideas.

TrevorC - 2010-06-15 1:32 PM

try this.

Mett - 2010-06-15 1:58 PM Hoping to prolong my youth with this whole triathlon thing. I am confident if I stay at it I can be faster then high school. At least that is the long long term goal. I know I cant maintain it but the best mile I ever ran was a 5:45. I know its a long shot but I think I can do it again, even if it is just one mile one time.
