Extreme Veteran  362  |  Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group II- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!!kt65 - 2010-10-07 4:39 PM trying1 - 2010-10-07 2:10 PM Kim, I took a few swim lessons before my last tri (i was really behind in my swim training due to the traveling and he got me into shape in no time) and the guy made me do suicides to strengthen my upper body. IE swim 100*5 while doing 10 vertical push-ups on each end of the pool with 30 sec rest and if your time was slower then the last 100 start all over.. It strengthened my upper body in no time. He said my triceps were weak compared to my biceps and they need to be about equal. For the sinking legs thing.. the thing that helped me most was making sure i have proper head positioning. Also every coach that I had, said that in your reach/glide, you should reach and have your legs/toes extended as much as possible IE trying to be as tall as possible during each reach/glide. The more extended I was the flatter and vertical i was.. Stan-what are vertical push ups? I envision it's almost like if I was going to get myself out of the pool without the assistance of the ladder (which I prefer!), and then just push myself up and down on the outside of the pool? with legs hanging down? Aiyah. My triceps are super weak! I have been trying to do chair dips at home 2x/wk along with that p90 stuff, it is hard to squeeze it into the schedule. Maybe I will try that! thanks. btw, love your new avatar, glen. Thanks Kim! Your description of that push up makes a lot more sense than mine. I was visualizing it as pushing myself off the side vs. up out of the pool. Big difference in level of exertion between the two. |

Where was this? Cochran Shoal in Chattahoochee Natl Forest. A 5 minute run from my office! less if you're fast. Yep...GREAT place to run....if you can stay upright......which I have proven that I cannot. 3 surgeries and almost 1 year away from tri training/racing it is still my favorite place to run in the ATL. This must be headed up towards Paper Mill Civil War site. If you used some of your T-2 speed you could make it in 4....just sayn' |

Expert 945 Auburn AL | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group II- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Thanks guys, and due to some of the sarcasm of a few of you welcoming me back, I actually feel welcome I have been lurking around the thread pretty regularly checking on everyone's races, unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) life got in the way over the last couple of months. And I hate to even use this as an excuse since I know John moved across the country, but we sold our house and moved across town. Pretty lame huh? Anyways, I have not quit training during my down time, but just didn't log much as most of my training was just doing something and not "real" training. But, I am starting to get the fever back, and really ... What is triathlon without the MG? |

Elite 3395 Raleigh | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group II- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Good Luck Linda!! Hello MG and conrats on crushing the server! I am still in Germany. I wish I had had a camera with me as we were near border. Went for a hike up and down to foot hills to the mountains as a "team" exercise. I had a good time. I am glad to be back in Munich and can start working out tonight now that I am at the Hilton. Going to go running along the Yser river this weekend. (Might go visit Dachau which will be a somber affair.) Suzy: IF I come to Rev3 it will be for the 1/2. I am NOT driving 6+ hours for just an olympic. Doug |

Doug man you gotta update that early 90's edition phone you carry. most all have cameras in them now-a-days! i hope you get a chance to visit dachau. my mother visited there when she lived in germany, before i was around. she said its one of the most horrific places she's ever been. don't think she ever made it into poland though, treblinka and aushwitz.... i just can't imagine. |

Master 2436 Apex, north carolina | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group II- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! My poor baby got bit in the face by a copperhead last night.  See how the whole left side of his face and neck are swollen and drooping? Poor guy. I had to really work to get him to leave the porch to go pee this morning. He is at home on some wonderful pain meds and spending the day pleasantly bombed. Maybe he'll share with me after work.

Champion 9060 Charlottesville, Virginia | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group II- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! So Doug, if you are checking the forums, how's your 8 speed STI shifter wrenching? Picked up a set of 8 speed shifters on e-bay and was putting them on last night. There is a very inviting bolt on the front of them so I took it off to see what wast there and a spring shot across the room... That spring happens to be the return mechanisim for the shifter. I spent a good 3 hours trying to get it seated correctly last night but no luck. I posted something on my team mailing list and the only response so far is to throw the shifter away and buy a new one because that stupid spring is a royal pain to get back in... I can't even find a picture of how it's supposed to go. |

Elite 3395 Raleigh | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group II- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Ooooooh Tony.... bad, bad, bad! The insides of an STI shifter are not to be messed with!!! Danger, danger Will Robinson!! Bring into to a shop with a skilled mech. That is just about the MOST complicated piece of bike tech there is. I could not even begin to tell you haow to fix it. |

Master 2501 | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group II- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Awww Tracy, your poor sweet baby is right!! Scary! Were you there when it happened? Yikes!!! Hope he enjoys his loopy state. So it's looking like a rainy day on Sunday in Portland. Blech. It's supposed to be pretty stormy up in these parts (winds, rain) -- hope that's not the case down south. But it is what it is and a little water never hurt anyone. Maybe gave 'em some blisters over the course of 26.2, but blisters are just a small annoyance. Tummy is aflutter today. |

Yeah but it's just one spring behind a 5mm bolt. they usually put the tricky stuff behind something more difficult to distrub. |
