Starting get a little anxious to get back at it. Plan was to get on bike by the end of the week but I had a scare when I was an idiot on Wednesday and reached back and picked up my computer bag in the backseat of my car without even thinking and felt a pain. I was freaking out all night thinking I would have to have the surgery again but spoke with the surgeon the next morning and he said I most likely was fine just a sore muscle. Either way it scared the crap out of me and decided to wait 1 more week after my appointment on Thursday to start light exercise.

On a side note you guys are all doing awesome and making me very envious haha. There really is someyhing wrong with us when I get jealous of your 3000 yard swims, 2hour bike rides and weekend long runs. Cant wait to get going again....

Jeez Tim, go easy there! Glad you're on the mend. You'll be back at it in no time.

2:15 on the trainer yesterday, followed by a quick T run. I started late in the day so didn't get finished until 10:50pm. Will NOT be doing that again. I was pooped this am getting up for a 1:10 run. My legs were very heavy, so I found it hard to keep my HR in the required Z1, but it's done.

40 min ride later. I finally feel like I am really settling into a solid rhythm again! Also, I went back to logging my food and am down 6lbs. Only another 20 to go! :-/

I had a pretty good week:

Swim: 6,100 yards - 2 hours
Bike: 56 miles - 3:40 (need to improve distance and )
Run: 21 miles - 2:55

Down to 185.8 pounds (lost 13 pounds since December).

Measured my sweat rate at the gym (70F and 30RH) to be 1,021 mL per hour. This appears to be a high value!

Slight calf tweek today on my long run. Hoping it doesn't flare up like last year.

I am getting my LTHR and VO2 max testing Tuesday..I am pretty excited!

Looking forward,

Todd

Um hi!. I'm Elena remember me? Ive been getting all RFP's updates but honestly haven't read all of what has been posted. I did just skim from page 20 and on. Read some good stuff from first time tri's,, to surgeries, to crazy cold weather, to deciding on which races to add to your lists and of course AWESOME training! So just a word of encouragement to keep it up and keep our eyes on our goals!

Im trying to keep up with my training. Hard work but I love it. Brick this morning with a Swim(2100)-bike(17). Felt pretty good.

News worth mentioning: I bought a tri bike! EXCITED about that! LOVe it!! I definitely need to either adjust seat angle or just go buy a new one. Girl parts hate it. I'm also trying to decide on location of H20 bottles. I've been sticking a bottle in my jersey which is fine for now. I know its just probably preference to type and location of bottles. Also, I raced a Duathlon on Saturday. I usually do the International distance but since it had only been my third time on my tri-bike I decided on the sprint distance (2/10/2). Had a great time and just enjoyed my ride and runs. 1:13 total 17:45/33/20.

Good to be back.

Hey Team! Happy Monday,

I am throwing down the accountability gauntlet, I have been less than 100% of my training plan for the past two weeks and it's entirely a result of poor time management. I need to get my butt in gear again, so next Monday- I will have done 100% of this weeks plan!
alright, have a great week all!

Sorry I've been away for some time now. I have been really busy and stressed with work and some family issues. The last few weeks I have not been concentrating on my workouts which is why I have not been logging in. I have had a hard time just trying to logged all my activities which also haven't been much.

On a good note I did complete my first HM race this past Sunday. It was not a PR day but I did finish with a respectable time for not training properly. Besides the hills, below zero temps, more hills and some snow, it wasn't a bad race. I also managed to put some work on the bike and a little work on the core tonight. I don't know if I'll be able to keep it up but I tonight made me feel great so I hope this will be the beginning again. My HIM plan starts the first week of April so I will use this week as a building week so that I don't start out to fast and get injured.

I hope that I can keep up with everyone but reading some of the post it looks like everyone has been pretty active.

My next race will be a Tri on May 17th in Galena, IL. Should be a good one.

Stay active and have a great week.
