Welcome back, Bruce!  Good to meet you.

In case you missed it and have some time on your hands  here  Nothing better than crushing a cheater.  How this chick lives with herself is beyond me.  So good to know that the sportsstats guys are doing what they can to fight cheating.

FYI all..... You will spend 3 hrs reading it all. But what a crazy story is was yesterday.

Sportsstats are Canadian. We're good peoples. Snowy and cold peoples though.

fattyfatfat - 2012-11-09 1:15 PMmaster swimmers... did you guys pay the 75 dollar USMS fee?  or does your program not fall under them. 

kt65 - 2012-11-09 4:40 PM Yes. Fee. John, can you summarize? 3 hours is too long. We could have run a half marathon (with a friend) in that time!

Don't start with me too!! I agree with you. I just meant who is this guy? never heard of him.

Whether you are first or last is irrelevant. You cheat, you pay the piper.

DON'T YOU BACKTRACK NOW!!!!

I'm not reading that one. The other one was too depressing. I really don't have anything to add here, I just wanted to fix the quotes.

kt65 - 2012-11-10 12:13 PM Agree. Sad. Dang.

fattyfatfat - 2012-11-10 11:30 AM

OK off cheating for a second..  what do you guys think of this.   Not sure I agree with all of it.  But the premise I get.

swbkrun - 2012-11-11 9:02 AM I'd rather go into ironman knowing I put the time, distance, and effort in rather than this theory, but to each their own.....

SSMinnow - 2012-11-10 2:59 PMWhy did you delete your post?

fattyfatfat - 2012-11-11 12:34 PM

Well, that's weird.  I added it to it and corrected the grammar.

In a nutshell,  I think  you can do less volume and still perform well during IM.  My first I was on the high volume plan, my second about 30% less volume and my third about 20% less volume from year 2.  I don't think 12 hour weeks would cut it for me, but primarily because I am still slow relatively speaking.  If I was doing 7:30s on the run and 22mph on the bike, it would probably work.  I do think that bike volume can help your running and I have proof of it in year 1.  My running was way off due to injury, yet i put down a very respectable IM marathon.  Someone in the MG asked me if I felt that putting as much time into swimming as I did this year was worth it.  I would have to say based on my result, no.  While I still hope to improve in 2013, I will be putting far less time against it.  Of course, I think I am an oddball when it comes to swimming so I doubt anything I really have to say on the topic is worth noting.

I think that was pretty much it.
