Mav's Massachusetts Mentor Group/Full for the Season (Page 2)

WOW  that's awesome!

Well, I missed my 64 ounces of water yesterday.  I was only about 8 short and I only had one Diet Coke and no beer.  I call that an almost win.

Today is another crazy day in the life of me.  I have a million loads of laundry to do today and some finish work on Pinewood Derby cars (got both cars cut out yesterday).  It's the afternoon when things really pick up.  IICAPS, bball practice, Cub Scouts, more therapies all from 3:30-8:30.  I'm only double booked at 7:00.  Not bad.

Running this morning and then maybe riding the drainer (shocking I know).  Tomorrow is weigh in day.  Hopefully I'll be down a pound or 10. 

London-to-Boston is a short hop --c'mon over!!

water going fine today, and nutrition still on track (true, it's only 1pm).

Do any of you follow a particular diet plan - paleo, vegetarian, no soy/dairy/wheat/whatever, ZONE  - 40/30/30 calorie distribution, etc.?  or just generally try to keep it fairly lean & wholesome?  

(but I'm still really hungry)

Got room for more?

Mav I think you were part of a group I was in back around 2010 season and you always left me greats "inspire me"s ( I recognise your picture)

Well this is my second crack at Tris,  First was 2010 and I completed my first Sprint (Sharons Back) and immediately regretted that I had not signed up for more, aside from the run leg of Title 9 where I used my jealousy of all the competitors to put up one of my best (still slow) 5k times. I swore I would do 3 in 2011

I got married a few months later (thus the screename) and was pregnant before I could even believe it was possible. So No 2011 Tris.

So here we go again, but this time with a 6 month old and a husband in the mix

Few months ago I got a saw an ad (on Facebook of all places) for a discounted rate on the DC tri, and I was signed up.  The idea of going by all the monuments seems fun and Ill have plenty of time to take in the sites at my pace :p

Really glad to see everyone else here is juggling a lot and still training, Just what I need!

Thanks to all of you who think I run fast!  I would LOVE to do Boston some day, but I think it's more of a long term (4-5 year) goal.  I was kind of hoping to BQ at Twin Cities.  At the time, my BQ time was 3:50 and I think I was in shape to have done that, but I made a rookie pacing error and went out WAY too fast (despite going with a pace group).  I have not been near that time again.  Plus my BQ time has gone to 3:45 and that seems out of reach at this point.  However, at 45, the time goes to 3:55 and that at least seems in the realm of possibility.

As for eating plans, I am not currently logging everything I eat, but I did when I lost weight before.  I am trying to eat cleaner (and less) and see what happens.  If I'm not getting anywhere, I'll start doing the nutrition logging again.  And, like Erica, I'm trying to keep the beer to a minimum (like maybe just when we stop to fill the growler on the way home).  I've just got to say that I think Erica deserves a beer or two with a schedule like hers!

Hello everyone, and Mrs. MAV-

My name is Joel, MAV has been training me for the last year or so for triathlons, and training me in life for the last 25 years. I currently reside in Uxbridge MA, and work in Lincoln RI where I swim at CCRI's pool (3$ a day!!) I'm looking forward to this group this season.

I started Triathlons last year and did two sprints (Westboro, and Buzzards Bay). I am signed up for the Mooseman Oly this season, and hope to do 3-4 more this summer.

Welcome everyone, and thanks for the invite Mrs. V

Welcome to the group!!!!!! Sounds like you have had a whilwind year!!! Good for you for signing up for a tri. Nothing like a race on the horizon to motivate you to train.

Erica juggles more than anyone I know....I am in awe of her organizational skills and Erin is a close second!!!!!!!

OK Erica...GIANT FAIL FOR ME!!!!!! Exteremely stressful night at work....I did great til I got home around 1 am...I ate everything in sight. Here's 50 crunches for you. Probably the only training I am going to get done today.
