Ricker - Congrats!!!!  Nice job

Fit - Congrats to you also! Very nice time.

First try of the season is less than 2 weeks away.  Went to an open water swim clinic on Sunday and got about a mile swim in.  Foggy and hard to see the bouys but good training.

I haven't had much time lately so it has been a while since i have been here. I hope everyone is doing great.

SInce last I posted things have been going much better. I haven't been able to get a full weeks of training in yet but my swimming is getting much better. I can go further and faster than i was a month ago. The running has gotten better. TOday I was able to run about 20 sec a mile faster while keeping my heart rate in the right range. The bike as been a bit of a struggle but it tends to be the one thing that I have to miss.

Small chance I do super sprint tri put on by the local tri club on sat.

Pool question-How long of a break do you take between your warm up and drills or workout and then also between your drills?

It has been raining her for 5 days straight now.  Enough already!

Hey all!

Work hasn't been fun but getting some workouts in.  Got fitted on the new bike yesterday and went for a ride today.  Rode with a lady from church.  She hadn't ridden since Nov so it was pretty much a casual ride.   Did take off for a couple 5 mile sprints and the new fit feels great.  May be a bit aggressive position as my shoulders were feeling it at the end of the 31 miles.  Weather here has been beautiful.

Phil - I am not much of a swimmer but usually only 1 may be 2 minutes between warmup and main workout.

First Tri of the season next weekend!

Still didn't get in all my workouts this week but friday my track team pulled a tough one and still undefeated in league for over two years. Should only have one more tough one this season for both girls and boys... 

Yesterday had a 2 1/2 hour bike ride planned but I forgot I was going to play basketball with some old friends. I got a 1hr 35min ride in and then 1 hr 20 of actually playing time. It added up to 3 miles on the garmin. I am so tired today.  Off to colorado to see family... Hope all is going well you everyone.

Hello everyone,

been SOOO busy with work (short trip to Phili) and with this rain I havent been able to train at all lately.

one thing did happen that could be exciting......I got a sponsor......not sure of all of the details yet. I feel like this will, if nothing else, keep me accountable to train.

yay for some dry weather for a change!

YAY for sunny weather!!!!!

got to ride my bike for a short 5 miles yesterday.....my longest bike ride ever!!!

this is getting fun! although my house is aparently atop a hill in my neighborhood so no matter where I go I have to climb a hill to get home :/

I hope everyone is doing well!

Jeff,

congrats on that distance PR on the bike.  Today 5 miles.....next year, 50 miles!!  or maybe next month, but that would just be too much!  Just keep building the base.

thanks!

got another 4.65 mile run in today (its the distance from my house to my gym).

Amazing the training you can do when its not raining...

Great job on your first tri, I remember my first and it will always be in your mind, again great job.

I have a finish line as well, 5k in 22:30, first race of the season, I am happy, 2nd in age group.

Hey all!!

Glenn - congrats on the first tri!  That's great!

Billy - wow, nice job on the 5k.  Speedster!

Did my first tri of the season.  Did well and hit or beat my goals for all three parts.  RR will be up later.

Later!

Glen, Way to go!!!  Completion of your first tri is something to be very proud of!!!!

Woo Hoo Billy!!  Great job!!

Gary....Awesome!  I look forward to reading your race report!

Bryan...I wish I were going to be at IMTX!!  My cousin is racing.  It's bad timing for me so I won't be able to be there!   But I will be there in spirit so make sure you have a beer for me!!

Great job Billy, Gary and Glenn. This is nice to see how others are doing even when you are not.

5 is nothing, in this little corner of the country we have had 39 days of rain.  I am so ready for sunshine, just a little tease please.

oh man that would drive me insane.  However, it has gotten a lot better.  It has been clear and 75-80 for a week now. 

Hey all!

Work and family stuff have me going non-stop.  Race on Saturday then rest of weekend with son and his soccer tourney.  They won their bracket!!!  Add to that I am coaching my daughters softball team and just fun!  Very strong storm came thru last night.  Some areas still getting power back.  NOLA is a couple of weeks away!!!

So after the rest and recovery from my first tri I've got some questions about my performance that you might be able to help me with.

About Half way through my run, I could not even think of taking another sip of water. Is that something others have experienced? Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

Also is there a thing as too much calories before a race? I ate 600 cal, three hours before my start time. Would that contribute to me not being able to injest anything further?

Thanks,

Glenn
