Expert 1797   CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS!!! I'd like to stay w/ the group through Dec. and join the new one. :-) I definitely get post tri blues. I am full swing into my marathon plan and have had good running sessions but it's been a struggle to get on my bike and in the pool. I have one more sprint in Sept. so I need to keep some sort of cross training going. I think taking a break is good for the body and mind. Just do the things you enjoy most to keep in shape and look forward to the new tri year! |

This one is incredible http://picasaweb.google.com/SWBKRUNMG/BirdysPictures#5369202410863753618 Absolutely, breathtakingly gorgeous!!! This is "the Tunitas creek climb" that I did as a part of my longest (60 mile) training day 2 months prior to Vineman. It was magical riding under the gigantic redwoods...Unfortunately it came at mile 42 and my legs were toast. So gorgeous...if any of you guys want to come out and ride it, there are about 20 or so switchbacks just like the one in Steve's photo! I would be happy to lead the way! Well, I'm sure you would be waiting for me at the "regroup" |

Master 1467 Small Town | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS!!! I'm up, I'm up already. Steve, got the pics, thank you. So the Tabata thing is ok, but it takes longer than 20 minutes to burn through your glycogen stores (as the page says). You'll go anaerobic and start producing lactic acid like a mofo (thus the heavy breathing), but not burn up your glycogen stores. Interesting yes. Try any of the Spinervals DVD's - those intervals kill! |

Expert 1007 Missouri | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS!!! Hey all - another busy week at work for me (auditors are here this week - always fun!). I'm looking forward to next week since I'll be on vacation! Yeah! Not going anywhere but won't have to be at work either Speaking of my tri on Sunday (it's a spring - 300yd/18mi/5k) - I could use some good vibes from you guys! I know I'll finish, but the bike has me a little worried. It's a pretty hilly course and even though I've been training on hills as much as possible, it's still the one thing that I'm not real confident with. So any good thoughts would be appreciated! Reuben - congrats on finishing your first tri! And good luck if you decide to do another this weekend. Here's a picture of me finishing my first tri back in May. |
. I decided it would be a good week to take off after my tri on Sunday and with our daughter starting school next Wednesday and we have to get our son over to college on Friday.
, but I'd like to stick around if that's OK. I want to continue to do tri's next year and am hoping to move up to the Oly distance - I could use the help in getting ready for that.

Of course its okay to stay with the group - I mean John's still here right? As for this weekend - you will do fine - no worries! Just downshift and spin... Don't mash the pedals all the way up the hill! I think an Oly is a great goal for next year! |

Champion 7163 Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS!!! Janet---love the picture!!! Keep'em coming. Now that I am supposed to hang out in Z1/2, I think I have mastered the art of ez biking. As was said before, drop gears and spin. I used to think I was a loser if I went into the middle chain ring to go up hills. No more. When I am climbing and still in the big chain ring, I click up a couple of gears harder and then drop into the middle chain ring and spin my brains up the hill. It conserves a ton of energy. I am also learning better breathing. Used to be a total huff and puffer, now I breathe as deeply as I possibly can which also seems to help getting up those hills. You can do it! So on my ride today, I nearly get pushed off the road by a redneck in a pick up truck (I felt his side view mirror as he went by), I saw two steers really going at it and a pile up that had three firetrucks, two ambulances and a whole lot of people standing around, but no bodies, all on a very rural part of the IM course. Legs are toast.....seriously thinking of blowing off my OWS class tonight in favor of an early dinner with the man and a little R&R. |

Master 2005 Silverton, Oregon | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS!!! I can't keep up with you guys, but I'd like to stick around too.  LOVE all the pics... even Steve's capri's  Thanks for setting up the photo site, very cool. Janet- Sending good vibes your way! You'll do great! x3 on just spin up the hills in a low gear. I'd like your opinions on something. I have a sprint Sunday. It's not an A race, but I would like to do well. It's, sort of, my measurement on improvement from year to year since it was my first, and I've done it each year. My dilemma is... I have a 10 mile run scheduled for Saturday on my training plan for my next HIM (9/26) and my 50k (12/5). I think if I do the 10 mile run Saturday or even Friday I won't be able to do my best at the sprint, but if I skip it it will mess with my build for the 50k (the following week is 12 miles). I think I'll probably be alright for the HIM since I'll have more long runs before that and even longer than the 13.1, so I guess my real concern is messing with the build phase of the 50k plan. Any thoughts? |

I always thought you were a little kitten ; ) You'll rock the bike. Are your gears still working? If so make sure you use them, when the going gets tough shift down to make it easier. yes you will be going slower but you will be going. If you feel a bit better, shift back up for more power and speed. |

Any thoughts? Can you do the long run on Tuesday? I did that a couple weeks when I had a sprint. The other option is to just do the 10 miler after your sprint. A. It's only a 5k for the race, and B. I can't believe I am saying this, it's only 10 miles. drop in the bucket for 50k training. |

Any thoughts? Move the 10 miles afterward (actually on 6.9 since you are doing 3.1 in the tri) or drop it. The tri will just be a glorified training day, but that way you can be in better form for it. I am doing the same thing. My race is saturday, but my plan is for my olympic in October. I have rearranged my training this week to front load this week and create an artificial taper for saturday. All I have left is an easy 1 hr bike tongiht and an easy 50 minute run tomorrow. Good luck! Doug |

Just keep pedaling, you'll get there! We'll be waiting for the new picture! Reuben - Great first race!! How is the knee now? Are you doing another?? Did you like the venue? As you know, I thought it was awesome. I'll be sticking around too! You guys are too much fun to leave now! I have been feeling better than I did the night I went to the hospital, but not great. For those of you who said you had gall stones before, did the pain last a long time? The doctor said that the stones are not blocking anything and the gall bladder is not infected or inflamed, so they do not want to take it out. But it has been a week and I still hurt. Now, it is not curl-up-in-the-fetal-position pain like it was, but I still feel it! It feels almost like a really bad side stitch, that also goes around to my back. It hurts some to touch it and it hurts sometimes to take a deep breath. Needless to say, I have tried working out, but it doesn't work so much when I am in pain and can't breath!! It is getting really frustrating! But, on the happy side, vacation is in 3 1/2 weeks!!! Karen |
