Ironman Florida : Official Thread (Page 23)

kathyG - you're making me feel lazy with my 3/3/3 + 2 weights workouts!

Going from couch patato to the finish line.

Sounds fun Mimi!

Rusty you get rusty really...your training looks great!

Thanks Kathy Feel like a rusty old lady right now!  working out those kinks before it all picks up again   Are you going to be at St. Anthony's this year?

No I'm doing Lonestar 70.3 in TX in late April. I might do St. As next year when I age up to the 50-54 AG. Now doing an Oly in April sounds more sensible then doing a HIM in April living in MA but what the heck it will be a great time.

Ok, I'm tired of our thread being low on the page, so I'm moving it up.

Hope everyone has a good weekend of training and can get outside on the bike. It's suppose to be around 50 in the morning here, but climbing to the high 70s or low 80s. Should be great.

What is this weekend of which you speak?

I was off Tuesday...that will be only off day until the following Saturday...so, 11 days on?  I did ride for 3 hours on my "off" day though....

11 days on? Yikes! Hope you get at least a couple of days off after that. Thank you for what you do for our country. Your service is much appreciated.

Did my first tri of the season yesterday. Water was 58 degrees but overall pretty fun. Came in 2/8 for my AG and 18/112 for the race. Went with the Texas Triathlon team and 7/8 of us placed so it was pretty awesome.

Unfortunately in running without socks I have the gnarliest blood blister and cut on the bottom of my right big toe so we'll see how long that takes to heal up so I can get back to running/biking again.

Great way to kick off the season!!

Congrats on the hardware!

Heal up...it's a long time for training and racing before IMFL.

I rode outside and it was 41 and windy, cold and I was under dressed today.

Can't wait to come to TX and do Lonestar 70.3. Still wondering why I signed up for such an early season 70.3 living in MA.

I needed something to look forward to and lots of TX Bters will be there so it will rock even though I won't have the kind of race I could a couple months later.

x2 on the congrats. and hope you heal up quick. i had a pool tri in south ga early in the month and messed my foot up bad. ive ran 1x since and this is what I got from Coach Shanks today when i asked about running:

"DO NOT RUN, I know it's hard bro but you're risking your entire Tri future if you run on that foot before we get (medical) clearance. Keep your chin up man!"

I think this will mess me up for GCT but I am going no matter what. I may have to hand my chip over or walk the half.

Way to go F1longhorn! 58 degree water explains why my feet went numb a few weeks ago when I tried to swim out there. I think I'll wait just a little longer for open water swims.

my month is in the books. this was march madness for me. i lost most of the month running due to the plantar fascia injury and i recently lost swimming due to an infected finger from a dog bite. i cant wait to get right so i can get back at running (and swimming). soon it will be ows in my lake regularly instead of that boring pool. hope y'all are having better march's than me.

Strange month for me a little with bad weather and time in MN to be with my Mom when she moved to rehab hospital which altered my training without any biking.

Volume is one thing but what the workouts and their purpose is more important. I have seen some gains in running and swimming this month and been riding outside again. We have a long time to Florida.

I have a 70.3 in 3.5 weeks in TX.

Dang! y'all are pickin it up!

Guess who is test riding an Orbea tomorrow?

Is a new bike for IMFL in the works?

Yep...rode the Cervelo P3 last week.

All Right!  A new bicycle.  How much fun is that ?


Here are March's puny totals:

March's totals:

Some day I should get some consistancy and actually start training.
I'm trying, but life is sometimes complicated.

On the plus side I started running the day before yesterday (a huge half mile) but it didn't hurt the foot injury.  so perhaps there's hope after all. 

Seven months left to train!
