BamaDC's Mentor Group v4.0 - Closed (Page 18)

That is what I signed up for.

So that would be like us racing in Boulder.  GB is pumping out some serious triathletes.

I haven't signed up for anything sorry. It appears I'll be weilding a chainsaw again this weekend trying to clean up debris at the lake. I will get some training in somehow though...

That sucks, man.  You thinking of pulling out of the race or giving it a go?

This week I'm racing short but training long and need some scheduling advice.

This Saturday I've got a mini-sprint tri (250yds/8mi/2mi).  I just started a new HIM training plan on Sat I'm supposed to do brick, 2hr ride & 45 min run.  Given that I'll be racing that day I was thinking of only doing the 2hr ride after the race.  Sunday is a long run of 80 min so I can't push anything to that day (or would rather not).  Either way it's a busy weekend! 

Thoughts?

Yikes! Stay healthy and get that kid quarantined!  Kidding, I don't have kids and have no idea what I'd do.  Good luck with your race.

Geez.  I'm getting over a cold.  Titeloops is having ITB issues.  This group isn't doing to well right now!!

Dont know man. Ran last night and was able to sort of get through it. Tried to run today and didnt make is half a mile before I was doubled over. sucks.

Put baby in a bubble!

Plan sounds good to me. Definitely get the ride in after the sprint.

That sucks.  Are you doing anything for it?  I believe rest (or at least low intensity) and stretching or other exercises are the best way to recover.

My self prescribed treatment has consisted of some stretching, foam rolling, the stick, and about 12 Advil daily.

Stay hydrated and avoid the chinese/mexican/indian food...

Have you considered adding scotch to your treatment plan?

Anybody else want to be crazy?

2012 The Year of the Marathon Swim

We are going to tryout a 25k marathon swim for 2012. This will be an unoffical race with support. We ask that you be one of the first 25 swimmers to sign up to [email protected], you provide your own kayaker. There will be no cost if you are registered to swim the 5k or 10k swim.
 
Registration will be at www.3milebridgeswim.org and will use paypal.

This was the closing paragraph in the info letter I got today about the 5k bridge swim. Hmm.... swim a marathon next year? WOW.

I'd be in the water for at least 8 hours.  Yeah - that pretty much shatters my "fun" threshold.  I'll pass.

I did note the coupon for next year, though!

I don't love swimming that much.  Now a 100 miler, I'd be up for that.  Maybe next November.

And I found out today I have a scratched cornea and infection in my eye.

glasses and training don't mix well for me.  And my eye is VERY sensitive to light.  Any suggestions?

Let it heal. And don't swim unless you are sure you can keep the water out.  It can get quite infected then.

Those scratches heal quick.  You'll be back in no time.

Hey guys!  I am terrible!  I have not checked in or even read the posts here for at least the past week.  We are having some major issues with our 4 year old and I have not been online much.  I have been on to log my lousy workouts and that is it.  Because of family stuff, I have missed too many long runs and will not be running my marathon this weekend.  At this point, I plan on selling my bib for MCM in October too.  Training is just way too much for me right now with my littles.  I feel as though I need to do right by and for my boys and I don't think I have been doing that training for the longer distances.  I made the tough decision a few weeks ago to go back to working out for fitness and not actually training.  It sucks being a mom sometimes!

I have barely ran since making that decision but have been weight lifting more and biking.  I even got to the pool last night for a swim. 

Things are slowly getting better and also slowing down at work.  I am going to catch up today and promise to be active!
