Out2BeALoser - 2011-03-08 9:30 AM Hi all! I'm back from my vacation and back in the swing. I did run once while I was gone but i found it very strange running on a treadmill on a cruise ship that was moving in the waves. Yesterday, I got a 3.3 miler in and am hoping for a longer run today outside. Thats assuming we hit the 50* mark the weather man says we will hit How is everyone doing???

If you'd have run around the deck, wouldn't you cover more distance when you were running the opposite direction than the ship was traveling?

Did a little mini tri at the gym yesterday....started with my usual swim, then went to the bike per my training program......after I finished my allotted time on the bike I hit the track to walk a lap or two to stretch out.....felt good so did a 20 minute run. Was well over and above the program, but I felt good the whole time. Unfortunately, work prevents any workout today so I will have to wait until my usual swim tomorrow.

40 minute treadmill run before going to work this am. 12 hour work day, so no more exercise today.

Yesterday was better. Swam and biked.

Had a strong swim in the am. I tried the 2:1:2 breathing scheme, instead of regular 1:1:1 bilateral breathing. It was ever-so-slightly slower, but I had plenty of air and feel like I could swim all day long like that.

With the regular bilateral breathing 1:1:1 routine, I gradually run out of air. I can swim about 200-250 yards like that, but then have to stop. For 500 yards, my fastest routine seems to be breaking into breast stroke for 2 or 3 strokes every 50 yards, and do 1:1:1 the rest of the time. I may do this in my tris anyway, because it gives me a chance to sight and make sure I'm not wandering off the wrong direction.

Also had my first real outdoor bike ride of the season, and on my new road bike. Got a Cannondale Synapse Alloy 6/Tiagra, which was about at the limit of my toy budget. The ride left me feeling pretty sure this bike was a good choice for me. Bonus, got to ride with my Dad. He lives on a farm, so there's a lot of not-too-busy blacktop in his neighborhood, plus it's pleasant scenery to ride through. He likes to walk for about a quarter of a mile before and after every ride, which I think is a good idea - seemed to get rid of the saddle seat very quickly and helped limber up before the ride and relax the upper body afterwards. In all we went about 90 minutes and had a great time.

I was in the U.S. Navy in the early through mid 90's and was on a couple of different aircraft carriers.  They let us run on the flight deck when there were no flight ops.  During high seas, you went from running downhill to running uphill a few seconds at a time over and over agian.  Also, when going into the wind, it defintely helped you going one way, but it was a struggle going the other.  So, in my opinion, if you gain distance running opposite of which the ship is going, it evens out when you run in the direction the ship is going.  No matter what it was, it was definitely an experience and some great excercise.
