Ironman Coeur d'Alene : Official Thread (Page 19)

My totals for Feb include some elliptical to replace some running due to an ankle injury...all better now, just some lingering tendonitis and calf stuff.  But stretching makes it manageable. Woot woot, feeling good.

February:

I'm currently on day 66 of my 100 day base camp.  I'm doing ok in the water but I'm currently behind by 2 rides and 2 runs.  I'm focusing more on consistant frequency of workouts right now, not too worried about doing any real long stuff (yet). 

Overall February was a good month.

Bike = 27 rides for a total of 25h25m.
Run = 16 runs for a total of 12h38m.
Swim = 10 swims for a total of 7h45m.

had to get all fancy and put both jan and feb totals on here huh... 

The house that we rented for CdA fell though so if anyone hears of a rental available (we booked something for $3K that slept 7), please let me know! I've also booked a backup hotel room or would consider a 1 Bedroom or Studio since it may be tough to find something for 7 again.

Ahhh, I love the Ironman rates available on VRBO.

I just stood up from my desk (after sitting since 10 or so) and I am so sore today. I need to stretch...and I need a massage....and a nap.  Sigh.

It might just be that 3 hour workout yesterday.....     Nice work by the way!

Thanks, it helps when you are married to an IM, gotta keep up! Now off to do it all again!  Well, not all of it, just swim and pilates tonight.  You know we're in it deep when I think 1.5 hours on the trainer is a "short ride". 

Remember, pain is weekness leaving the body!  You are doing great!

As for me, I'm right on track with my plan.  Time to ramp things up!!!!

There are some machines in this forum!  Great work everyone!  Also, thanks for the feedback last month in regards to bilateral breathing.  It is not pretty, but it is really coming around.  My Feb numbers are as follows:

Swim: 25,200 Yards (7.9 hours) (longest swim=3,000 yards)
Bike: 414.3 Miles (22.53 hours) (longest ride= 65.5 miles yesterday)
Run: 101.8 Miles (13.01 hours) (longest run= 16 miles)

Total Time for Feb: 43.44 Hours

Anyone live in the Boston area?  I will be there for 9 days starting next week for work if anyone would like to meet up for a run.  The training during work travel could be interesting.  To bad I won't be there during Patriots Day.

Thanks, baby.  I feel better after swimming and Pilates.  YOU are kicking it. I had a minor technical difficulty with my SwimP3 today, but figured it out after I got home, well, actually Bennie figured it out.

I was able to ramp up the bike post-marathon with a century and two 80+ rides in Feb.  Running is off due to a residual hamstring issue, but appears to be improving.

Amazing how fast it seems to be approaching.  June will be here before we know it.

FYI - In December the schedule of events on the IMCDA website showed a 6am start and 11pm finish.  They have changed this back to the original 7am start and midnight finish times. 

There are 117 more days to worry about things you can not really control.
