Stuck in the Middle - May Challenge (Page 21)

2000 yd swim this morning...NO spiders in the pool...

Was supposed to run an hour at lunch, but forgot the running shoes...I'm carpooling today, so didn't have the 'extra' bag in the trunk.  Just as well...I should probably be recovering from my half mary...

Got in a nice bike ride this morning to get the week started off right.  I am so ready to get off my hybrid and onto a road bike!  I'm going to check out the local shop this week.  They don't have a hugh selection but I'm hoping that some perfect deal is just sitting there waiting for me.

that's the plan!

although I'm secretly hoping the promise to show my pom poms has been forgotten by now  

WTG Middlers!

I got a nice little spin in today -

I'm doing better than I thought I would toward my goals this month, I'm going to evaluate them and see if I need to up the ante

DD graduates from HS next week, so that will be a tough week

stay posted 

Evening tempo run completed.

How could we let you forget something as important as your pom poms????

Was a cockroach in my pool this morning......

ahhh, a hidden talent

reading invisible ink!

note to self................................................. 

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! 

RunningJayhawk - 2008-05-12 9:27 PM Guess who got the balls to go into aeroposition?!?!?!?! Okay. So I a short brick tonight. How the heck do I document it in the spreadsheet? What do I put in the multisport column? I'm so confused. Oh...and sesh...you'll be excited to learn that I changed my ringtone to Queen's Bicycle Race. I love to bike. I love to bike. I love to bike. ...I'm really trying to convince myself of this.

I think you just enter a number for the brick in the first column - I hope you don't mind, but I entered it for you (I just couldn't help myself) - now, just enter the specifics of your workout - you can PM me if you have any questions

Gil has it set up so it will calculate the bonuses 

So many great workouts today.  Pool bugs, aeropositions, etc.  Nothing stopped you.  Really, really good work middlers. 

I am BEAT after a near two mile swim this morning and a 10k run after work.  Both went pretty well.  Well, the swim was draining and chlorinated (bleh, I'm SICK of chlorine) and the run went fantastic.  That's two good runs in a row! 

I'm pooped and I'm alternating between nearly falling asleep, watching basketball, and staring at my new shoes.  I bought the fast ones

Ooh... nice dunk, Lebron.  Gotta run... umm... sleep.  G'night!

but, don't you know that tri chics (especially the hot ones) LOVE the smell of chlorine???

nice training Bill! 

I think it's called "train like you race"

I didn't recover from the weekend in time to ride to work. So, I punished myself by riding the rollers in the garage tonight. I also only made 2/3'rds my masters workout 'cause of work. I'm just glad I didn't skip out. That's habit forming.

Morning core session completed.  Gee, that sounded boring.

ROCKED the core this morning!!!!!!  I've been in I.T. waaaaaaaaaaay too long....

The number that you enter into the column should be the number of brick workouts you did for the time period

If I recall correctly, the max # that will count in a week is 2, so if there are numbers larger than 2, it doesn't count, which is probably why she split the spreadsheet out by week.

I just did some messing around and it looks like maybe the formula isn't rolling up for the bonuses after the second week.

If I move your brick to the first week, then it calculates a bonus - I'll PM Gil about it and get her input.

In the meantime, I left your brick in the first week, so at least the numbers are accurate.

I think she split them out by week, because of the max of 2 per week. 

I hope this helps  

Hi guys and sorry for all the confusion.

Here's what you need to enter for each week:

1. The number of bricks/multi-sport races you've done in the given week. This goes in column B.

2. The amount of training (time or distance, depending on your goal) that you've completed in each discipline. These go in columns E, J and O (and T if you have a strength goal).

You only ever put numbers in the cells with a box around them. The bonus for completing bricks is calculated automatically (in columns F, K and P), as are all the totals and averages.

This does mean that you get a bonus across all three disciplines even though, for example, your brick might only be in two. (It was waaaaaay to complicated to try and match the bonus to the brick disciplines.) Also, you don't get bonuses for strength training.

Does this all make sense?? PM me if not

Also, I'm going to move the old spreadsheet into a separate folder so that no-one can accidentally be updating it.

Wow, it's quiet in here today!

I hope everyone is out training instead of werking, which is what I was doing

ps

Amy, I just sent you a PM on your question  

YES!  I was training, Beth.

Weird day of pace intervals in shoes and sprint intervals on the bike. 

I'm drinking beer and watching basketball now.  This is WAY more fun.

Sorry I've been so quiet.  I'm still very cheery, but WERK has been busy, and so has training actually.  I think I just finished my last "hard" day, though.  Just some short brick work and pacing stuff to wind down to my tris.  FINALLY!!  I WANT TO RACE!!
