Ernesto's group (4th season) - Closed (Page 176)

x2

Another failure at the Cross race, fell in one of the corners after my tubular came unglued (front tire), I remounted it with only one and a half laps to go but when I fell my rear derailleur was bent and I had a really hard time shifting gears, finishing the penultimate lap I broke the chain going up a hill (deja vu) and hit my knee pretty hard, opened up a gash about 1/4" long.

Aftermath:

- Broken chain
- Bent derailleur
- Knee cut and banged up
- Road rash abrasions on my hip (through the clothing, ha!)
- Rolled off tire that will need to be re glued
- Bruised ego

Can't wait to go back and show CX that I am tougher than a couple of bad days.

Glad to see you are still having fun and like they say, third one is a charm!  Love that warrior spirit, so get out and make us proud!

5 mile runch 44:50 first run of the year on ice.

Gang:

Quick Question: Those with Gold Memberships.  What's your thought on the value over the Silver or Bronze?  They're running a sale and I need to renew in January - so might as well do it now.  Any and all input is welcomed.

-Mitch

10 mile run today.  Awareness bike ride tonight (logged in advance) for cyclists getting killed in the Austin area.  Congratulations, Mitch.  No one can catch you

Congratulations Mitch on your stellar November. Welcome back to consistency!

Adding my last two of the month, my disastrous race on Wednesday and a runch today. My vacation from training is over, I feel fully recovered from my race and ready and eager to bite new adventures. Half the volume I did this month was in one single day, LOL!

Any takers on a December challenge?

Mitch good job for November.

E- I'm in for December

 Added in my last update for the month.  Wow, you all aren't kidding about the post-IM depression kicking in!  I think a big part of it is that I know I shouldn't work out, but I feel guilty about not working out.  I did play hockey again today, I had taken most of the summer and the fall off of my men's league hockey which is a big deal for me.  Only problem is I remembered today that part of my noon hockey on Friday's includes vast amounts of beer at lunch afterwards...

Catching up for my absence for the last week.  I started physical therapy this week and am now off the bike as well as the run.  Swam 3x this week and plan to swim both days this weekend so I am now on a 5x week swim program (ugh).  Long absence from the pool has made for a painful adjustment, but I am taking my lumps. I know I also need to hit strength training and yoga, but am not feeling - work has been simply unbearable.  

Mitch - The gold custom program is pretty decent and allowed me to build my own HIM program that proved to be really good for me.  However, some the workouts are very rote because they are computer generated and the swim workouts get to be very monotonous.

Mitch and Jackie congratulations on November challenge!!  Being at the bottom of the pack, i really need the motivation of a December challenge.  I am doing cross-fit 2 to 4 times a week, but  i need to do alot more B/R/S.  The good part about the cross-fit is that for the first time in my life I can do multiple true pushups and am on my way (probably another 6-12 months) to getting my first true pull-up.  Also, the additional strength is helping when i do get out for runs.

I am definitely in for December.  I am aiming for a PR B/R/S month for the last month of 2012!!

7 mile run outside with a spin on the drainer after.

I know I'm late finishing my Nov stats, but I was watching Missy Franklin, Ricky Berens and Ryan Lochte compete in the Winter Nationals here in Austin.  What a rush!

Mitch, I miscounted my workouts and found a few I missed.  So, I actually had 38 workouts for Nov and beat you   Actually, I had calculated my time wrong, so I think it's correct now.  Congratulations on your consistency, especially with the weather up there.

Sure, I'm in for Dec.

I just reviewed my monthly challenge participation records.  I sat out of the challenge for 2 months (June, and October).  I do not see challenge results for April except body weight. Thus, among 5 months of monthly challenge finals, I determined my PRs since April 2012 to determine a goal for this month - December.  I know this is tedious, but I am telling everyone to try and increase my accountability.  My PRs over past 5 months is more than a little sobering in comparison to November's winners (Mitch and Jackie); please do not vote me off the island, at least not yet ....  

My total number of workouts in any 1 month ranged from 9 (May) to 29 (August), my times ranged from 6:12 (May) to 19:50 (August), and weight low was 137 (April), and ....   well .....we will omit high weight.  Therefore, my goal for December is Total = 30, Time=20:00 and weight=136.999.

Let the games begin!!!
