Mav's mentor group - CLOSED (Page 21)

I am still having knee issues. I dont think I will be back running for a long time 4-6 months. I cant even ride without pain...so the pool it is. I am seeing another MD for a second opinion on my knee. Pretty sure she will tell me no anything but swimming.

So to answer your question about how many laps...A LOT!!!!

Hmmmm, will do! I didn't feel stressed at all over the job since I figured if it was meant to be then it would happen but I guess you don't always feel the stress even though you are.

DOUBLE POST

TRIPLE POST...WTF?

Well I might as well take advantage of the space, right? Sooo, why was Marianne the only one to play my reindeer games and post some answers? Hmmmm? Where is everyone?

I was thinking the same thing...how sad is it that you came so much closer than me and i'm not broke ~ I say that lovingly, of course

Here is a pic of my chicklet ~ my little triathlete in training. She always puts on my bike shoes and wants to go for a ride...or my running shoes and wants to go for a run...or my swim cap and goggles and wants to go swimming

What is this a Triple back post?  I'm certain I saw this post yesterday and it didn't say anything about reindeer.

Trivia Question:
What do Rinny and Potts have in common?

Triple back post?? Actually I meant that my earlier post posted 3 times and i'm not sure why. Sooo, I put double post then triple post...how many times can I say post in one sentence?

My reindeer game was the one about naming your bike, etc...I tend to call my little antics "reindeer games."

Trivia answer...please?!

Yes Michelle - You have the cutest Jr Triathlete in the group.
There is a connection between your Raindeer game and my trivia question.

Mirinda Carfrae and Andy Potts are the winners of this weeks Rohto Ironman 70.3 California. What is the connection?  My bike is named Rin for all the right reasons.

Post padding for you.

I haven't named anything. My mtn bike is just plain slow. My new bike should be here in 2 weeks, i'm so excited.

What a cutie!

Bwaaa Haaa Haaa, I'm a bit slow...not making the connection between reindeer games and your question Anyway, it's funny cuz I was trying to figure out what them winning had to do with Rin...now I know!

My cure-all...stretching, foam roller, and water. Water is my cure all for EVERYTHING

Can't wait to see your bike...I can imagine how excited you are!

Thanks for the cutie comments!

I guess I will play my own reindeer game...no I didn't name my bike but I do refer to it as him.

I love, love, love my Mizuno running shoes. I will search the ends of the earth to find them if need be!

I always use my swim cap from my last race and I hate, hate, hate my goggles...Marianne, what were yours again? I'm too lazy to go look for the post!

Question of the Day

Do you use energy gels? What kind/flavor is your fave? What is the minimum distance/time you have found is when you need to use them?

Anyone racing this weekend?

^^^Racing TopPage^^^

Boy, we're on a roll

I have been trying them all, to see if I like any of them. So far nada, I do like Justins nutbutter, peanut, almond, or hazelnut, they all come with chocolate too. I know they have a higher fat content and may be to much for a race, but since I haven't done one yet I can't say. I did try the GU watermelon gellies, kinda like gummy bears only squares, I liked those. I do prefer to drink my carbs when I am working out. I try to pay attention to all that has been posted and find that water water water  works well. I flavor mine with zip fizz, or cut it with half gatorade.

The legs are better today, no more dreams about running that just tired me out.

Str trained 3x's this week.

72 oz of water daily so far.
