swbkrun Mentor Group- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! (Page 240)

DougRob - 2010-07-30 10:23 AM Road bike definitely! Most of the time is spent with your hands on the drops. Drafting all the way. And elbows out in the sprint to prevent locking bars as racers throw their bikes from side-to-side.

They may also have primes, which are distances or laps where the racer that crosses the line first at that intermediate point gets a prize.

Mett - 2010-07-30 5:01 AM Had a killer run for me yesterday, I made it for a full 5k. I did have to stop a couple times and by the end my legs were shot. It is a very hilly up and down trail that can be really tough. The first mile and a half or so I was at a 10 min mile pace. I felt good w/ no shin pain so I just went for it. I ended up slowing down but made it 3.29 miles in 47 minutes. Now I have a good baseline finally to work on improving. I made it almost 24 mins w/out stopping running at all. Tonight I am doing some interval bike training.

Anyone else ready for Friday to be done?

jvanis - 2010-07-30 3:39 PM Mmmm bing cherries for an afternoon snack, forgot how much I love these things, too bad they are a bit on the spendy side... being healthy is costly at times.

Anyone else ready for Friday to be done?

jvanis - 2010-07-29 7:47 AM I am scarred.  I went to use the restroom and as I walk in there was someone sitting on the pot with the door wide open.... WTF!

Ready here!

And right there with you on the cherries.  Just finished some myself.  They are expensive but I buy them weekly this time of year since the window for good ones is so short!

fattyfatfat - 2010-07-14 9:50 AM if you log a 25 yard swim workout please be sure to log that you walked to the fridge or you held your breath for 8 seconds or you turned your head to the left or you can spell green or you can count to four on one hand or you can write your name backwards or you can start a car with keys to that car or you can open a door or you can close a door or you like going to the zoo or you have a life size poster of betty freidan above your bed that you say good night every night.

Happychick - 2010-07-30 11:06 PM Hey All! I know...who the heck is this person, right? I've totally been off the grid for quite a while now. We left HI and are now all settled in our new neck of the woods (outside Bellingham, WA) This move was really hard on me for some reason but I am happy to say that all is right in my happy little world again.

I am starting from scratch with my training since I was dealing with some shoulder and back/hip issues and am building up properly this time so I prevent any further injuries. I am not able to swim cuz of my shoulder but will be seeing my ortho doc soon so I will be starting back up with drills only in the next few weeks ~ i'm hoping to find a swim coach so I don't keep having this impingement problem every time I even think about swimming!

I'm sorry to have been gone so long then just come screaming back in here...

Oh ye of what is worthy of logging... Pray tell, at what distance is a swim long enough to warrant a space in our hallowed logs???

Does, say, 100 yards count? Or is that still along the lines of counting to four on one hand, hmmm?? Or wait! Maybe it's the equivalent of counting to 10! Or 11!! Then you can use a toe, too!!!

Welcome back!

Glad to see you are getting back in the groove, I think we are getting quite a WA contingent.  Maybe I should take that job with REI...

TrevorC - 2010-07-31 1:15 PM FEET UP TIME.....
went out to the lake this morning. Got in a little swim/bike/run. Left the bike.
Mirinda was there. No Linsay in sight. I'll get her tomorrow.
f.y.i. Bought the bike jersey. Wife is out of town with the kids and took the camera. So no pics of jersey this weekend for y'all.
Anybody who is bored tomorrow. I'm off at 6:20AM MST, and bib 171.
