Okay everyone...HELP!!!

Having problems here. Went for my only my second swim today in far too many years. First one was last week. Struggled terribly last week but had a much better time today. Still a long way to go if I'm going to compete August 10. Cant go very far without having to take a break. I feel like this will come with consistent training. Here's my problem...my left shoulder got angry at me today during my pool session. Got really tight behind my left shoulder. I did 1-100, 6-50's, and 6-25's today. First felt the tightness after the 5th 25, did one more and knew I needed to quit. I've iced it twice today and it's still a little sore and tight. What's your advice? I'm thinking about skipping my Thursday swim and spending the week on a shoulder strengthening regimine and try again next Monday.

On another note, there is no way at this point that I can do the swim play that my training plan created. I'm just not in good enough swim shape. What kind of benchmarks should I shoot for for my August tri? 1/3 mile swim is all I have to do. Thanks!

Finally resolved my issue at work. After much thought, I have decided to go on sabbatical next year... I'm not getting paid, but I am going to be a lot happier.

Went for a ride tonight... it really felt good! Swim and hopefully a run... I'm feeling a little sore so we shall see.

My tri bike is a 2002 Trek 4500 (that's a mountain bike), put some slicks on it and clipless pedals. I'm only doing a few sprints this summer so doesn't seem worth it to spend big $ on a bike, but at times I do covet a nice fast roadie. Between the wife and I we have another 4500, a Specialized Rockhopper Comp, and a Trek hybrid (7100 maybe?) - we both ride the same frame size, easy to share.

Morning All - Thanks for posting your goals. If you can think of a way to do it better next week, please let me know. Now, take some time each day to support one another either through the forum or by "liking" a workout that one of our members did thaty day. I don't know how to get it on the forum but check my log - I have a list of everyone with links to their BT pages. Can't tell you how insiring a like can be after a tough workout.

As I mentioned yesterday - I made the decision not to return to the school where I work next year. I haven't been truly happy since I've been there but thanks to them I know that what I want to do now is teach. So, yesterday afternoon, I decided to go for a ride to make peace with that decision and I crushed that ride. I track my rides on Map My Ride and I got a text this morning that let me know that I set personal records on the three sections (or courses they may be called) that I rode on... I guess my body and bike are happy with my decision. I will now have the time next spring to focus on training for an IM in 2014. Who's with me? (Kevin - I know you will be there is spirit. I'll have your name on my hand ala Bobby

Have a great day!

Hello everyone. Thanks for SO many responses to my questions. I've gotten lots of great advice from all of you. The shoulder feels pretty good today. Just a little sensation hanging around. I expect to be pain free tomorrow. I'll actually do some stretching and therapy tonight and should know by the end of the weekend if I'm going to try some light swimming next week. I'm going to take everyone's advice and slow down. Been looking at a lot of videos and will try to improve my form.

Got my aero bars today. Can't wait to go for a ride. Thunderstorms just rolled through my area. I may actually try and go in a little while. If I don't ride today I won't get to until next week!

Hope everyone had a great day!

Raining all day today so the pool was closed and the bike was out. Decided even though I'm sweet like sugar I wasn't made of it and wouldn't melt so I went for a run. It must have been the rain because I tore it up. Did 2.38 miles and held a 10:22 pace. It was an easy/medium effort also and not a crazy race pace. This is after only running an 11:06 pace in the Jan 5k which I was red lined and I felt like puking My training runs were in the 13-14 min range also. Then it was 5 months off and I've only been back at it for 6 runs so far.

Yay! Glad you have a decision you're at peace with! I have to say a sabbatical sounds wonderful! Other than training is there anything you're thinking of doing special with the time?
