Veteran 439 Denver area | Subject: RE: Erin's "Insanity is Relative" Group - OPEN Remember your homework assignment mountain_erin - 2012-04-11 9:31 AM Ok everybody, I want to keep this pretty free flowing, but also have a teensy bit of structure to keep us focused and so we can help each other. The teensy bit of structure is that on Monday morning (or Sunday night), I want everyone to post their goal for the week. It can be something simple as "I want to do all of my planned workouts" or it can be specific "I want to run X miles at Y pace". On a personal note, as you all are warm and toasty tomorrow, please be thinking of me. I have a half marathon and it is supposed to sleet. Yes, SLEET. I have run in snow and I have run in rain. I have never run in sleet. Ick. It will be a great opportunity for mental training |

| 27 | Subject: RE: Erin's "Insanity is Relative" Group - OPEN NAME: KellySTORY: Never an athlete, but I have been swimming since I was very young and was a lifeguard through high school and college. Almost two years ago while on vacation I remembered how much I loved swimming and decided that might be the thing to actually get back into shape. Then I saw a Brooklyn Bridge open water swim and made it my goal for the following summer. Turns out fear is a good motivator- fear of drowning, fear of embarrassment. I completed the one mile qualifying swim and then the Brooklyn Bridge swim and was hooked big time on races and open water swimming. Took up running (read- jogging slowly) to try and lose some weight and because my hubby seems to enjoy it so much. I absolutely hate running, but that made me angrily stick with it, thinking how awesome it would be if I could learn to like it. I'm to the point where I can tolerate it now, but like is a strong word. Did an aquathlon last October and had an absolute blast. Although, had a bit of triathlon envy since only 7 of us out of the 300+ in the triathlon were only doing the aquathlon. My high school friend invited me to train for a triathlon in my home town, and so I went and signed up. Just paid for my first real road bike last weekend and hope to pick it up this weekend. Already enjoying some Spinning classes I got a groupon for, just need to figure out the actual bike part. Super psyched to get into biking with the weather getting nice around here. And yes!!! I would love some swim workouts. LOVE swimming, but of do I run out of workouts after a while.FAMILY STATUS:Married 12 years this June, two daughters- 3 and 6 years.CURRENT TRAINING: Just upped my workouts to 6 a week when I can swing it, Excited to add the bike portion.2011 RACES: Oneida Shores Open Water Swim 1500meter, NYCSwim Brooklyn Bridge Swim, Cedar Beach Aquathlon, Smiles Change Lives Turkey Trot 5K2012 Races: NYCSwim Stars and Stripes Aquathlon (June), NYCSwim Liberty Island Swim (June), Cayuga Lake Triathlon (August), Cedar Beach Triathlon (October, hopefully!)WEIGHTLOSS: Slow, but steady. Turns out you have to work out AND eat less, lol. 8-9 lb so far, would absolutely LOVE to get down 10 more, but I'll take what I can get. What I love about this type of working out is I can focus on the race and the goal of finishing, instead of a number on a scale. Working out by myself is wonderful "me" time with two kids and a very stressful full-time job, but really looking forward to some camaraderie if the group is still open!Kelly Edited by kellychorn 2012-04-15 8:11 PM |

| New user 2 Omaha | Subject: RE: Erin's "Insanity is Relative" Group - OPEN My Goals for this week: 2,500 yards swimming 16 miles biking 10 miles running 2 sessions of full-body strength training It was storming here all weekend, so it put a damper on trying to get in some good biking time. The bike is my weak point so I really need to start pushing that.

Veteran 439 Denver area | Subject: RE: Erin's "Insanity is Relative" Group - OPEN Welcome Kelly! I think the warm thoughts helped. We had SUNSHINE at the start (but it was still cold... maybe low 40's). The wind decided to really kick up (headwind) at mile 8 or so, but the precipitation stayed away. And for some crazy reason, my legs just wanted to go. I was running with a friend and I kept having to tell my legs to slow down. Finally at mile 5 I just let them do as they pleased and actually had a really good race. I managed to find my friends who were several minutes ahead of me and pass them. Today was one of those magical running days where everything is easy and awesome. |

| Member 26 | Subject: RE: Erin's "Insanity is Relative" Group - OPEN Well done Erin! I'm still waiting for one of those magical running days to come my way My goals for this week: Swim, run & bike 3 times each. Make sure I give my body at least one full 24hr rest day which I'm finding difficult to do mentally. Swim my 400m Try a Tri distance in one go without any pauses - nearly there! Have a super week of training everyone. |

| New user 8 Regina, Saskatchewan | Subject: RE: Erin's "Insanity is Relative" Group - OPEN I'd like to jump in as well Name: Brittany Story: I used to be really active when I was younger - biking, running cross country, playing hockey etc. But over the years I've been doing less and less of that, and even though I've been fairly active on/off with going to the gym and such I feel like I've been losing my discipline when it comes to that.. A marathon or triathlon has been something that I've always wanted to do at some point in my life, and I recently decided that I want this year to be the year that I do that, and that working towards that goal would be a good way to get my butt in gear and keep myself disciplined. Family Status: Currently single, I'm a university young'en :P Current Training: Need to get going! I'm currently doing Jillian Michaels workouts while easing into biking/running. I'm planning on starting a 12-16 week training schedule on May 1st, so I'm currently working on planning that out and creating a schedule that I can stick to. I'm also looking into working with a club for the summer, since although I've swam in the past, I'm scared that I won't be able to get the proper techniques down (any tips or resources on this would be much appreciated!) 2012 races: Nothing officially set yet, but I think I'm going to aim for either a 5/10k on July 8th, a "Try-a-Tri" on August 4th, working up to a Sprint tri on either Sept 1st or 15th Weight Loss: Would like to lose about 20 pounds I'm both excited and terrified to get started :D Britt Edited by nirvie 2012-04-16 1:25 AM |

Member 46 | Subject: RE: Erin's "Insanity is Relative" Group - OPEN Hi! I would be so happy to be a part of this group! I came to triathlon via running, I've been a slow and steady runner since 2002 or so. Last summer I suspected my trails would get closed due to fire danger and decided to sign up for a sprint tri. The bug bit me and I did a second sprint and accidentally signed up for an olympic distance as well--my first open water, too! I LOVED it and couldn't believe the season was already over. I did a lot of reading over the winter and can't wait for this year. I'm married with a two year old and four year old, and work full time (but random hours), so I have the usual troubles with fitting everything in. My first race is on SATURDAY, the Coyote Carrera Sprint tri. May--Tempe International Oly June--Valle Caldera Trail Half Marathon July--Cochiti Lake Oly, August--Chile Harvest Sprint and Live Love Tri Sprint, and September Elephant Man Oly is what the rest of the schedule looks like. I think I'd like to a HIM in 2013.
I have a first question, too, if that's OK. Any tips on the swim for a reverse sprint tri with a pool swim? I'm trying to imagine my 400 meters with 139 of my closest friends kicking and punching me.

Member 46 | Subject: RE: Erin's "Insanity is Relative" Group - OPEN Assuming this group is still open and you take me, I guess I should do my homework. This week my goals are to: Modify my training plan for this week so I'm ready for my race on Saturday (e.g. take it easy) Bike the course and practice transitions and logistical issues Stay focused during the run and the bike on Saturday instead of getting so excited I forget to push the pace Have a great week, everyone!
