SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED (Page 171)

Congrats on your awesome race, Sam!!! February's totals:
Bike:	20h 44m  - 353.3 Mi
Run:	13h 49m 06s  - 102.84 Mi
Swim:	12h 01m  - 27100 Yd

Snow Shoveling:                             00h 00m  -00ft 

Biggest month of biking and swimming ever!

Had a good swim this afternoon, although I was dreading this workout, I managed an 8:05 for 400 (2nd half at T pace-for me that means hard effort) which I am certain is a personal best!  At first I sadly thought it was 9:05, but all of my following 100's were 1:55's so it must've been 8:05!  I guess all of my lessons and drills have helped. 

Now that the Olympics are over, I should be able to get my much needed sleep.  Hope you guys all had a terrific weekend.  I still have one more day...biking tomorrow. 

Pretty weak month, didn't help we had 3 feet of snow and I went on travel.

February's totals:
Bike:	14h 38m 25s  - 268.64 Mi
Run:	8h 46m 18s  - 51.41 Mi
Swim:	3h 11m 30s  - 9550 M
Strength:	8h 00m
Bowling:	2h 00m
Yoga:	1h 00m

Still not enough training. Get you butt out and work Rob !!!!!!  I'm sure I did more thatn that. Maybe I just forgot to log some. I know I was swiming at least twice a week and did a couple of bike rides at home in additionl to the spin classes.

February's totals:
Bike:	4h 30m  - 74.56 Mi
Run:	3h 20m  - 19.89 Mi
Swim:	3h 03m 10s  - 5905.51 Yd
Strength:	2h 45m

go with swimsuit not the tri top.  you'll do very well. 

that was great.   i like when they were telling the story of when gretzky knew there was a problem.  he heard them say "can we hand crank it ".   ha.   made in canada.

Wait a minute! If the US scored with 38 secoinds then we won, because we also scored with 24.4 seconds left! US 3 - Canada 2! Give us the gold! Unless your 38 seconds  are in metric...hmm....

Here are my Feb totals.  A little lighter than they would have been because I was sick which reduced one week for me.  In March I need to get more time on the bike.  Probably a few more weeks of skiing here in Central NY and then I will be able to work some longer bikes and runs in on the weekend.

February's totals:
Bike:	7h 18m 23s  - 125.83 Mi
Run:	9h 09m 48s  - 66.79 Mi
Swim:	5h 20m 20s  - 17900 Yd
Skiing:	17h 00m
Snowboarding:	3h 00m

Yes I was converting it from CDN seconds to US seconds.... You guys thought you were out of time, but there was tonnes of time left when you scored. 38 seconds is alot of time.

I think all these tough indoor intervals I have been doing all winter are really going to pay off come spring (whenever that is)

Went out for a 2 hr ride with a BT'er yesterday and did a 36 mile ride with quite a few rollers on it and never took it out of the big ring.  I was able to rocket up all the hills sometimes not even dropping pace.

Felt great,

LOL, it's amazing when a training plan actually makes you faster/stronger. 

Holy cow... I am about has far behind as I am in races.  I have read "most" pages. 

Suzy- I am digging the bike.  Looking sharp!  I know that you will be very happy on it, and like others said--- Very patient!  Good for you.  Hopefully you are not that patient when you are racing trying to pass everyone !

To all the Canadians--- I can not in good faith of the American Hockey team tip my hat to you guys since we already beat you once in the Olympics.  Seems unfair to our boys, but a great game!

Everyone's Feb:  Very nice totals... I won't even put mine up there in comparsion to most... The only thing I had going for me was almost 20000 feet of hills...

I hope that everyone had a fantastic weekend.....  RP and I were out this past Weds/Thurs and here are some pictures that great adventure.... A nice snowshoe into a hut that had: Solar Lighting, Gas Stove/Fireplace, and a purty outhouse.... We just had to hike our stuff in/out and melt snow for eating, drinking, and cleaning.  We had winter conditions, and couldn't see Rainer, but I put a picture up of what it looks like on a clear day!  (I like this "None Training Stuff" !!)

Wow those pics look fun.  I would love to get into snow shoeing sometime it looks quite fun, if only I had some mountains to make the scenery worth walking

I scratched off boarding last night to give my legs some time off.  Good bike effort tonight to start off the month on a good foot. 

If anyone did not catch in the Gear reviews, I put a new post up on my blog with my experiences with some different Hydration options for anyone who may be looking at changing how they hold their liquids.

you should cross reference that with the ST study they did where they compared the aero-ness of those setups.

They included most of the ones you did + nothing + camelback.

Surprisingly the aerodrink was the fastest, I think then followed by a single bottle on one of the tubes, can't remember which.  Both of those were faster than having nothing there, guess it pushes air around the bike.  I'll see if I can dig that up.

Interesting stuff, by the way.  thanks.

if you need to come off your bars to grab a bottle then you have concerns greater than which bottle is more aero.

Edited by TriFrog93 2010-03-01 2:54 PM

ok.  two thing wise guy.

1.  the marathon trials was posted in the tx forum, here where clearly i posted a pic of a certain hottie.  its important that we always direct the MG to pics of her!. 

2. Seems you forgot.. YOUR RACE REPORT IS HERE! 

;-)

Did you find his race report because you are mentioned in it?  Do you have a daily google search on yourself?

Just askin'...

-William

Thanks for posting the link with that super hot runner very informative thread about the marathon trials.

Robert - congrats on your race!  Not knowing fatty, I can still picture the hat on his head (or maybe a big bobber full of beer!).  That girl texting...sounds like a major fail to me.  Might have given you a little smile if she tripped while doing that!  Congrats again.

it's just nice to see that not everyone curses me. 

Got it....always direct MG to pictures of KG!

Was that bad form to not post that the RR was up?

Maybe you could volunteer for the trials..mybe they would let you wrap her in a Heatsheet!!

i'd drop the heatsheet and wrap her in myself!

not bad form.  but usually someone (suzy) will yell at you for it.

Awesome job man!!!!
