TinkerBeth  23096     Liverpool, New York |  Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--ClosedSilver Bullet - 2010-02-25 7:47 AM Involuntary rest day today. Annoying, since I just made some real progress swimming. And because swimming makes me happy. Dineen -- It's OK! And believe me, I wanna throttle my friend's husband too. Been wanting to for several years now. Sadly, she'd probably just dump me as a friend and then go hold his hand in the hospital for days. (For people wondering wth we're talking about, here's the post -- but I'm warning you, it IS depressing.) Art -- I approve of your wife's name. Good choice.  I'm actually kind of annoyed at having to buy new shoes... I like the shoes I have now just fine! Also a little worried that my go-to brands won't fit anymore :/ Hope everyone has a good day today! We in the northeastern U.S. are battening down the hatches for another possible Snowpocalypse... yep, you are right - depressing i do know this - strong people come out swinging even stronger after they've been held down - your friend may not realize it now, and maybe not even tomorrow, but if she's done even one tri - she'll realize it eventually and omg yes i'm part of theSnowpocalypse.... (great word!) |

I'm back in the routine of going to the gym even when I don't feel like it. Because once you get there it's not to bad, it can actually feel really good.  I swam 1100 m today in 30 min. awesome job! you should feel very proud of yourself! |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed Rebecca--congrats on the fitness! How awesome. You deserve a beautiful new suit ... as for shoes, if I actually find any I like, I buy as many pairs as I can afford. They change the stupid styles every year and I get stuck for decent shoes that fit.Mia--super fitness progress, and 1100 in 30? That's great!!!! Art--I can't believe you run in the snow. Now THAT is HTFU. The picture was gorgeous, btw. Dina--how'd the 5K go? Waiting with baited breath!!! (Manatee breath?) |

Extreme Veteran 552 Wesley Chapel, Florida | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed Dina--how'd the 5K go? Waiting with baited breath!!! (Manatee breath?) It went GREAT! Conditions weren't the greatest -- cold and rainy -- but I managed to run a full 2 min/mi faster than my training runs have been -- under 13 minute miles, kicked it at the end, and finished in 40:07 (chip time; my Garmin said 40:10). Even if you added to two minutes it took me to get to the starting line, it's still a PR by far.  So I am thrilled beyond belief. Will try to get some pictures posted a little later. Thanks for the support, Manatees! At the expo yesterday, I signed up for that 15K in April...and I am signed up now for the May tri. I can't believe I am really doing this. Edited to add some pix: My cheering section before the race:  This was at around the .4 mile point, very early on (in white windbreaker)  At the end:  Edited by dinabean 2010-02-27 2:51 PM |

I had a rather long 4-hour bike ride and a 30 minute brick run today. It was freakin' HARD! I asked my coach if it was supposed to be hard. Thankfully, the answer was yes. She said we'll just have to make sure I get good recovery the next few days. I love her! :-0 I've got an olympic tri next Sunday and then the 70.3 is only 4 weeks away! Good news, the run won't be partially on the sand. Have a nice Sunday evening everyone. |

New user 99 Hendersonville, NC | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed Wow, great job Dineen and Beth! I'm looking forward to my 5K in 3 weeks now, March 20. It's going to be a trail run and I have newer run a trail before. So hopefully good for my legs with the softer ground. I have some bad new too. My sisters little kitten just died yesterday. He was almost 7 months old and he got FIP and there was nothing they could do for him. I'm so sad for her loss. |

Extreme Veteran 552 Wesley Chapel, Florida | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed Thanks All! Setting a good example for my kids -- that's so much of why I am doing this. I do need to be careful, though, in that my older sensitive one is getting a little worried about weight, which is so NOT the message I want to be sending. I can't believe a six year old could even worry about such things, but given what he hears from my husband and I lately -- in particular, us weighing ourselves almost daily and celebrating, as we've both lost over 15 pounds and counting -- I guess I shouldn't be all that surprised. I keep trying to talk to him about being healthy, healthy, healthy, and how Mommy and Daddy are trying to fix mistakes caused by prior bad habits, whereas we are helping him build good habits from the start. This weekend was a much-need bolster of my confidence in the running department. I was getting so frustrated that I am so slow, but I know now I can push harder than I do in training and make even further strides. The main purpose of this 15K in APril is to get my building endurance, which will hopefully in turn, improve my running speed. Woo hoo! Beth, that is AWESOME. Gives me hope that I will get even faster, too. Congrats! Lynne, what is the date of your practice sprint? You really seem do be doing a great job fitting all that training in. You'll be ready. Mia, so sorry for your sister. That's just terrible! Edited by dinabean 2010-03-01 1:05 PM |

Extreme Veteran 396 Eastern Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed Hi everybody! Lots going on, it looks like racing season is upon us. Lynn - 4 hours on a bike? Just thinking about that makes my butt hurt. Good luck on your oly! Mia - I've never done a trail run. I think I'd have to buy another pair of shoes. Dineen - I wouldn't worry about your speed, it will come. Doctors' offices are full of people who got injured because they ran too fast, too soon. "Fast" depends on your perspective anyway. Someone here on BT has a sig line "In my mind, I'm a Kenyan". I love that. Art Edited by reid15 2010-03-01 6:44 PM |

New user 99 Hendersonville, NC | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed Today I did my first attempt on crawl and I think I did pretty good. I got really winded and I feel like I have no oxygen left after three strokes. I'll need a lot of practice and I'll start reading the TI book tomorrow I think. I have found a sprint tri close to here thats in May. But my husband thinks it a little expensive. It's going to be $75 per person. Is that a lot or is it normal to pay that much for a sprint? |

Regular 534 Philadelphia | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed Lots of accomplishments by our manatees! Way to kick asz, y'all. My tiny accomplishment to add is that I "PR'd" in total time, "mph," and "distance" on the rollers tonight. Quotation marks because you can never be sure how indoor effort would translate outdoors, but I don't care Mia, keep at it with the crawl! A couple months ago I was doing exactly what you're doing. It IS a lot to think about in the beginning. Don't feel bad if you have to make several trips to the pool before it starts to feel right. Sprints in my area range from $45 (less than 100 racers, in a suburb) to $140 (thousands of racers, in a major city). Average seems to be $55-65. So $75 is a little high, but not crazy high (in and around Philly, at least). Check the race reports here on BT -- if it's a well-run race, it might be worth the price. |

New user 99 Hendersonville, NC | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed All the snow had almost melted away, but this morning it started snowing again. Grrr. But I wanted to go for a run since I didn't do it yesterday. So... With the snow falling heavy and all alone I went for my 4K run and it felt great. 27 min later, now I'm at home again and feeling good about actually not caring about the weather and not letting it spoil my run. |

Mia - Way to get out there! I didn't feel like it yesterday either. While $75 is a lot of money, it doesn't seem out of the normal range for a sprint from my experience. Art |

Extreme Veteran 552 Wesley Chapel, Florida | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed Rebecca, good for you! I haven't braved a trainer, yet.... Mia, I am sure you are glad you got out there. This week's training has been odd for me -- I haven't been able to swim at all (weather-related pool closures), I haven't managed to run but 1 mile, and I haven't gotten on the bike except as part of a boot camp class. On Tuesday when the pool was closed, I joined a boot camp class instead. 45 minutes and my abs have not yet forgiven me. I decided to go again today and try it out, though I did run a mile on the TM first, at least. I love the class, but I fear it is drawing me away from meeting my other training goals right now. I hadn't been doing any strength or core work, though, and this class has made it obvious that I need to do that! So we'll see how it goes. |

New user 99 Hendersonville, NC | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed Dineen, I think you can continue to do the class you love, for all exercise is good exercise. It didn't feel like I was going to die or puke, so I just think it's a little weird. The highest I have got it up to before was 199 bpm, and that was last year on the TM. I didn't feel like I was going to die or puke that time either, but just stopped because I was afraid I was going to fall of the TM. |

Here are a couple questions he/she will probably have. Have you double checked the HRM by taking your pulse with a watch? Was that just for a couple seconds or was it sustained for a period of time? How quickly does it come down when you stop running? I'm not one who goes to doctor at the drop of a hat but I'd at least talk to them about it. Not something to mess with IMO. Art |

New user 99 Hendersonville, NC | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed Thanks Art. I was using my HR-monitor and I just noticed the high number when I got back from my run. I did not look at the monitor when I was running. I think something was just wrong with the monitor, so nothing to worry about. It has happened before that it showed to high numbers, but I thought that since I had changed batteries it was all good again. But maybe not. I'll keep a close look at the monitor next time I'm running. But my max HR is very high, so 210 bpm is nothing I will worry about. |

New user 99 Hendersonville, NC | Subject: RE: Beth and Yanti's 2010 Manatees--Closed Today I managed to swim 1000 m freestyle/crawl! :D I am still slower on crawl then breast strokes, but today it felt good anyway. I can swim 100 m in 2:38 if I do BS, but it takes me 3:12 if I do the crawl. |
