Go to determining calories needs

I hope evrything is OK...let us know what we can do!

you will be amazed at how much easier swimming is with a wetsuit- seriously, its awesome

If you need one I am selling the one I got for Christmas- I cant return it because my mom doesnt have the reciept... i need a bigger size.  Its a great wetsuit- ANYONE?????

http://www.triathletesports.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=S8WWS02&Show=ExtInfo

looks like you are in between a sm and med..... the suit is a med.  Im selling it for $295 shipped...its a $599 wetsuit.

So...what are some of your favorite training songs or whats on your playlist now?? 

you know you train too much when you get sick of your music every week

Wow! What a great gift Tammy! I hate to say this, but I worried my wetsuit might be to big if I lost some more weight. Mine is a Zoot size large. I would be bummed if I had to buy a new one this year. Mine is only 2 years old. DH put a rip in it though this winter.

So, I am back and ready to train. Gonna run on my lunch today and do some core work! Then I have a swim lesson tonight after work.  I am so happy to be back!

My weakness has always been swimming...and biking...

Kindo of heavy on the bike... maybe throw one out and make one longer?  3 days a week is probaly enough swimming too.   Not that I am trying to discourage you

what are you traing for again??

Duathlons, 2/15-20/2....willl even consider 5K in there.  For the most part, short sprint tris mainly b/c of my fear of OWS...Unless we go way out of the way, hour drive, few places to OWS practice.  I am not sure I could handle more than 400 OWS....

5/2 Short Sprint

There are some short sprints in the summer, but they are OW

8/09 Short Sprint

9/09 Short Sprint

Every mtb XC race last year was charged at, listening to the Foo Fighters "In your honour" - but you've got to pick the right CD - it's a double album - one is chill out sleepy stuff for recovery, the other is proper bopp along race music (about 5mph faster as it happens - when I picked the wrong one!) 

Green Day "American Idiot" (no offense!) is similarly fast and racey.

For training I am currently subjected to whatever dance cr*p is on the loudspeakers in the gym. If I tried to out-gun the speakers with my mp3, I wouldn't be able to hear anything for a coupla days!

mtntrainer - 2009-01-13 2:21 PM Got a good swim in today. I did the alphabet thing today, that helped I really like swimming. But I do have a question about it. What should I be working on? Should I just be swimming or doing drills or distance, I am clueless here.

a fun thing to do with alphabet is to think of foods that start with that letter- I dont do that anymore- unless Im really bored....makes me lose focus (which I NEED!)

You should be doing drills and working on your form for the most part.  Some days do some fast 50s and/or 100s and other days do some 400- 800s.

I lllllove my iPod and listen to all sorts of things on it while I work out. For LSD runs I often listen to podcasts. Lately I have been listening to Lucinda Williams, and of course, U2.

Got in a lunchtime run and then an after work swim and some weights. A good day! Now it's time to watch American Idol.

I tend to listen to grunge, punk and techno on my runs. I need to have a beat otherwise I kind of fade on my runs.

I got a run in today. 

I also had my first swim lesson. She taped me and then we went over the video. I have a lot to work on. First, my elbows are not high enough coming out of the water. She said we will work on that later. It is minor. My arms on my catch are too straight. I spent some time working  on bending my elbows as I pulled. Then I worked on becoming more horizontal in the water. Once I started pressing my breast bone into the water, my whole position changed. My head went down further in the water and my legs elevated.

I could feel a huge difference when the lesson was over. I am excited to get back in the pool. I need to order some paddles and mini fins.

Coldplay, Fuel, U2, Natasha Bedingfield, Paramore, Daughtry, Blink 182, Staind, Timbaland, lots of others.

I'm sick of mine too.

You should buy yourself a shuffle. They are super cheap, like $30. I clip mine on my shirt and can switch songs super fast. I couldn't wear one on my arm either. 

You can ask and I will tell.  My total is 25.7, so I am right on the line of average and leaner than average (for my age group 36-45).  My abdomen was 26..yikes, ilium 24...double yikes, tricep 14 (lean) and thigh 24 (lean).  So, not all bad news.  Clint assures me that all the LSD will melt the love handles off.  So, I am looking forward to that. 

I like gatorade, cliff bars and sport beans.  Have not tried the shot blocks.  Are they similar to the Sharkies?
