Elite 3495 SE | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED Hope you all get some great work in this weekend. I want to hear you all boast and brag! We from the Southeast have no weather excuses this weekend. Anybody have any topics they want to discuss? We've hit gear recently so there must be more questions there. Training, racing,. scheduling? Anybody else have some cool photos? Peter's may be difficult to top. After his visits to Hillbilly town, he doesn't walk funny due to the bike.... |

Master 2094 | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED Short run this morning due to work. What I missed in time and distance I tried to make up in intensity. Long bike tomorrow as long as work cooperates. I may do a second run at recovery pace after work if my legs feel a little better. |

| Extreme Veteran 479 | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED interesting (on the wet suit) i've NEVER used one. (ever) i might have to experiment with that this summer.... that much speed gained-- ESPECIALLY with events with 1km swim or more... big gain! i'm intrigued! & still debating my race plan for 2011. but! from a mathematical standpoint, it's interesting that the most appealing option i've got in mind right now... while technically the most expensive, isn't the priciest when you break it down to a cost-per-event it would actually wind up being the 2nd cheapest (out of 4 possible options) from that perspective! |

Extreme Veteran 849 San Diego | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED Now is a good time of year to buy a wetsuit. Many of them are on sale. I'm going to shoot for two longish rides and two 6-8 mile runs this weekend. The weekend starts today because I'm skipping work  |

Elite 3495 SE | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED I bought my first two wetsuits online used from the BT and slow twitch classifieds for 100 and 25 USD respectively. Each had minor nicks in them that I was fine with. I did this after getting sized up at ALL3. |

| Extreme Veteran 479 | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED this weekend... 18km run & an interesting sunday swim (anticipating lots of drills... but i'm prepared to be proven wrong!) yoga looks unlikely though... sucks when life gets in the way! but ah well! next week is a whole new week within which to do LOTS of damage! |

Master 2094 | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED "I did this after getting sized up at ALL3." And they still selected you for their team? I agree the wetsuit secondary market is really soft. You can get great deals on barely used suits. Fit is crucial. I would suggest a full suit but I personaly use a sleeveless. The water around here rarely gets below 70 degrees and most races are barely wetsuit legal. (78 degrees and below) |

Member 24 | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED Hey guys, I have a question. How does everyone keep their motivation up? I have motivation issues, I know it stems from self-belief and that's just a work in progress for me. It's hard to see yourself doing something if you've never tackled it before. Anyone else have "head gremlins"? You know the ones? Those nasty negative thoughts. How do you stay focused, despite the "gremlins"? I'd love to know what drives people, and how they keep going even when motivation wanes. I just keep telling myself I need to make it part of my daily habit. Once I get to that point, training every day will be just like brushing my teeth: something I do everyday regardless of whether I "feel" like it. Have a good weekend everyone! For the record, it's clear blue skies and warm breezes here in the land Down Under!!!  Perfect weather for training. I've just been for a run and sweated half my bodyweight (and that's quite a bit!!). Em (tobybeach.jpg) Attachments ---------------- tobybeach.jpg (82KB - 6 downloads) |

Elite 3495 SE | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED I worry about 1. weight mgmt 2. an early death and 3. race performance. That is my motivation source. i also channel my frustrations from life into my workouts so it has become a great outlet. |

Master 2094 | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED My motivation came from my son. On his 9th birthday he had a paintball party. A few of the dads tried to play and were unable to keep up with the kids. I was barely able to keep-up. One of the dads died of an MI a week after the party. I had my own heart scare. I decided I needed to get back in shape. At first I showed up just to finish. Then I wanted to finish without walking. Now I want to win. I never want to get back to where I was. That may be my biggest motivation. |

Master 1843 Roswell, GA | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED Hi all - beautiful weekend coming up in Hotlanta. Plan on biking outside tomorrow. Followed by a run on Sunday. I have cabin fever (especially after my 11 hour work day today). Hope you all have great workouts this weekend. |

| Extreme Veteran 479 | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED I've got all SORTS of head gremlins or inner daemons.... primarily: fear, embarassment & intimidation. i'm still new at this, FAR from being fast, but after my LAST PLACE performance in my age group last year (for my 1st sprint tri), as i was sitting there cooling down with my post-race banana, i couldn't help but think: i'd rather be dead f'n last than just checking out the race report & results after the fact WONDERING if i could have done it. so on i go! my motivation comes from wanting to improve, wanting to get over certain fears (mostly related to the bike), curiosity over just how far i can go (yes-- eventually i want to complete IM), training & race entries. but i'll admit. the more "hardcore" of the 2 main tri series availiable where i live STILL has me scared. there's an event that would fit perfectly into my training schedule/plan for this year but i worry about not being able to shake the big 3 gremlins (fear, embarassment & intimidation) BUT! i figure i'll go for it anyway & see what happens.  |

Elite 3495 SE | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED Don't be scared. Trust in yourself and realize that you only have to perform to the best of your ability and training given the conditions. Lets go out and slay em! I survived my 5k tt pretty decent. Mental goal was 6:20s and I nailed 6:03s then I rode a sold pace for 50 miles. We had gorgeous weather with a bit of wind. My hamstrings are more ham than strings at the moment, but I am buoyed by the sub 19 5k. Now I will go red whine. |

Master 2094 | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED Impressive results on the 5k followed by a nice cool down. I almost matched your cool down today until I got called in to work. Long run in the morning |

Member 24 | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED nicruns - 2011-01-30 4:04 AM I've got all SORTS of head gremlins or inner daemons.... primarily: fear, embarassment & intimidation. I don't want to sound mean, but I am glad I'm not the only one!! Thanks nicruns!!! Fear, embarassment and intimidation pretty well sums it up for me too! And it's something no-one else can help with (unfortunately!). Bugger!! But it is nice to know I'm not the only one fighting this battle! In my tri club we have a member who is a professional in long-course (she placed 3rd in IM WA) ... so ... not intimidating at all really!! I always make sure I don't park my $600 no-brand bike next to her $12,000 Giant!!  Em |

| Member 90 | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED Hey at least you joined a tri club! That takes some gumption. I too have an unremarkable bike. I got a straight handle road bike last year because if I didn't like tris I wanted something I would use with the family. |

Master 2094 | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED 2-3 Tylenol, water and a long slow run will clear the hangover faster than anything. I woke up with Jello legs this morning. The first 3 miles were misery and I wasn't sure I would finish my run. After 6 it didn't matter. I knew I would finish but didn't set any speed records. Don't be intimidated by the bling of a nice bike. You get just as much respect with a fast split on a clunker as a carbon beast. Just keep pedaling. Edited by pschriver 2011-01-30 11:27 AM |

Master 2094 | Subject: RE: Not phat? Phatknot SLAYER - CLOSED Another motivations comes from remembering how bad I feel when I am under trained for a race. Looking at Harvey's FB page reminded me of a photo my wife took of me after finishing 140.6 (Race 017.jpg) Attachments ---------------- Race 017.jpg (49KB - 11 downloads) |
