![]() Tracy, I agree with Kim. You can do this..and once you get this under your belt you will be totally set for B2B! Here are a couple of things to think about - just my .02: It's all about being comfortable..... Get in the water before the start (get use to the water temp so that the temp doesn't catch your breath) Get a little water in your mouth, swish it around and spit it out...gross, but you get that taste before you start The run from the beach to the water is fun ![]() As soon as you can start swimming do so...it's easier to go under the waves if you are swimming than to run through them First few 100 yards/meters are going to feel weird...nerves, conditions, etc.....STAY CALM, just go with it, and you will soon settle into a good rhythm and it will be fun. If the waves are huge you may need to breaststroke a little to find the buoys - that's fine Keep your stroke long and smooth...and you will be at the finish before you know it (is it a two loop course?) Also, swim in as far as you can....it is faster to swim the in water than to walk You've been doing some ows so I am sure you'll be fine. The key for me is to stay calm, getting through the first few 100 and then getting into the rhythm. After that...it's a piece of cake ![]() |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() ashort33 - 2009-08-24 3:44 PM TrevorC - 2009-08-24 2:23 PM so what does one think of this treadmill ...........http://www.advancedfitnessgroup.com/products/treadmills/20AT.aspx It looks like a fancy moving sidewalk with an ipod holder Seriously though, Iwould have someone explain the warranty. It says lifetime frame and motor and then 1 year labor and 3 years parts... That confused me... Have you googled it looking for reviews? My interpritation of that warrently is made of steel with a good motor, but we won't make any garentees as to how bad you run on our machine and therefore how bad you mess it up. How does it compare to other treadmills that don't have the iPod feature? Seems to me that is where a lot of the price is coming from. But I've never researched treadmills so what do I know. BTW, great job on the PB!! Way to kick butt. |

Luckily Jordan Lake has been very choppy lately so hopefully that will translate some what. At least I discovered I don't get motion sickness. My fiend said she felt like hurling in the water halfway through our last swim! I think you have really good advise and I will follow all of it. I don't know if I want good visibility or not.......it is the ocean you know. ![]() |

![]() ashort33 - 2009-08-23 10:13 PM Hey all, the day has slowed down enough for some BT time... I improved about 12 minutes today on the same course as as the tri in May. RR is up. I am happy and disappointed at the same time. Happy that I improved and exceed my goal, disappointed that I did not beat my buddy... Didn't he know I was supposed to beat him? A 12 minute improvement in 3 months...HUGE! Way to go, very nicely done!!! |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Okay, sorry, but I have to share. I know everyone is going to get jealous, but checkout what we have in Greenville again this weekend: http://www.usacyclingchampionships.com/ I can't wait to check it out again. Lance spoke there two years ago when they gave George the key to the city. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Yahoo my new xterra wetsuit finally got here. Going to try it out tomorrow night. I tried it on and it felt great. Lighter than the 2XU I was renting and much more supple. Cost a little more than I thought overall as I had to pay sale tax up here. Still a really good deal. |

Pro ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() John, Digging the Picture... To all the PR'S==== NICE! Trevor I think back in the day you were wondering if a sub 30 min' 5k was possible! HUGE! Swimming--- That is why Bilateral breathing is important. Many times we will need to focus on one way or another. Next time you swim try to swim ONLY on your OFF SIDE! Force yourself to do one lap on the "wrong side." Its like when we thought we couldn't ride a bike w/ no hands, but we managed (except on tri bike for me)..... it can be done! Chet- Keep up the good work!! Rob- Enjoy the new SUIT! Big difference!!!! Edited by swbkrun 2009-08-24 7:38 PM |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() TrevorC - 2009-08-24 1:28 PM Happy Monday all..... I must be the only one in our group that breathes to the left. All you one directional breathers breathe to the right??? Are you all righthanded or something by chance?? I had a breakthrough moment this weekend...My 1/2 mary plan said to do a 5k race this weekend.Then an easy 6 or 7 miles the next day.....We were out at the cabin. I was feeling really lazy on Sat morning. Did not feel like running whatsoever. I started to think about wanting to keep on my plan and I actually laughed about the Barry/Chris HTFU moments from last week. So I ran the 5k and ended up PB'ing it!! Best was 27 flat prior, and I ran it in 26:32. I had a real mental breakthrough as I did not know if I could hold that pace, and I kept wanting to tell my body/legs to stop!!! But I pushed through it. I'm really starting to learn that my body can do more than my mind allows sometimes. I think my mind is what is limiting me sometimes, and I'm not sure how to bust out of it.... Not sure if its that former-fatty thing or what?? You guys experience that?? I'm thinking the Johns/Andys or the world may know what I'm saying. Way to join the HTFU club Trevor. It's amazing what happens when you do something that you really don't want to do. For me, more times than not, I have a great workout/ race. You are 100% right. It crazy what your body can do when your mind doesn't get in the way. |

FWIW, I agree with this 100%. I have always been a right side breather, but to teach myself to breath on the opposite side, I would always face one side in the pool. This means I would have to breath on both sides for the entire length. Once I got this, I worked on the bilateral breathing. I can do both if needed, but am still much faster breathing to my right. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() OK Andy...I am on it. I think my game plan will be to have a good HARD Tues and Thursday with light workouts on Fri and Sat which should give me plenty of rest to start the next week ready to kick it in. Hey Trevor...Good job on the PR. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Plainsman AU - 2009-08-24 8:06 PM QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey Barry Don't panic!! You still have some time to build up your run volume, but it is time to assess. What is the longest distance you have done so far? and how many times? Your swimming is good and your biking is strong so with three days rest, I would consider running a wise idea. Don't go crazy, but you really do need to make sure those legs are strong off the bike.

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Not sure if anyone is still doing the 200 situp challenge but I had to take some time off for being sick. Feels good to get back to work. Week 4, day 1, 204 situps, 60 seconds leg lifts, and 30 crunches to each side done tonight. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Plainsman AU - 2009-08-24 9:06 PM QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hear you man. I am a little concerned about my bike volume. I need to get that up some. I can do the distance, but don't feel real strong after as Suzy was saying earlier. I missed my 2.5 hr bike Sunday, so I moved it to today and shortened my recovery b/c I did take off Sat. and Sun. I'd say run. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Chris and Barry I was having an interesting exchange with Gordo and he made the comment "there is no such thing as a good bike and a bad run". His point, often times you can have a great bike because you hammered the heck out of it, but are left fully depleted when it comes time to do the 13.1m. I know it is hard to hold back for you really good bikers, but overall your time will probably have a better overall time if you do. And this is coming from him, not me, since what the heck the do I really know about HIM distance racing? Off to do my hour TT..... Suzy |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I went for the run this morning. Planned a 12 miler and was feeling GREAT thru about mile 9. HR stayed in zone 2 and I was just cruising along...not fast at all, around 10 to 10.5. About mile 9 my right knee started to feel really tight. Not a sharp pain, but almost like a charlie horse feels in your leg. I tried to stretch it etc, but as the next couple miles passed, I could hardly run on it. I can't put a finger on it where it hurts, just kind of feels like my whole knee area but mostly on the outside. Could that be ITB issues? |
