I feel great about that. 3 runs and 3 bikes. Felt so good to be biking on the actual road!! Nice! Where do you stay in the Gulf? We head down that way just about every year for our beach vacation. We use to stay in Gulf Shores but moved to Navarre after the spill and my wife's friend moving there.We stayed right on the beach in Gulf Shores. Walking distance to everything. Our first time there. Tons of fun! Loved riding right on the beach road, with the ocean just yards away. Some day I need to live near the ocean! |

Veteran 211 | Subject: RE: Hashers and Mashers - Closed Ybeal - 2013-04-07 5:41 AM cadnams - 2013-04-07 4:38 AMWell, my last race of the season is done and dusted, pity it was terrible. My planning was good, my effort was good, but the outcome was not. My aim was to try and go a little harder for the whole race because I thought I could, and I felt really really confident in my plan. I had held back in my last rwo races, in the swim in particular. But this time I ended up not able to run more than 1km, feeling really sick right from the start of the run. I stopped to a walk after 1km (which for me is failure) and then couldn't run more than 300-400m in a stretch before stopping to walk again. Not sure why this happenedMy swim and bike times were both the slowest of the year despite going harder in both. I just can't work out what went wrong. The only thing I can it it down to is that my regular morning nausea. It is particularly bad when I am pushing hard. But I ate breakfast two hours before the race and this should have been enough to cure it, and I had no nausea until the start of the run.I am trying to find the positives out of the race, and to learn something from it. But I'll be honest, I am struggling. I am seriously disappointed, and given my nutrition in the days prior was the same for this race as the others I now have doubts about my preparation that weren't there yesterday. Not a great experience, and my next opportunity for a race is my Oly...! I wonder how my confidence will be for that one??? Right now I just feel like I have wasted three months of training. Yesterday I was starting to seriously consider attempting an HIM this time next year, but now my Oly in November looks further away than ever.Anyway, when the kids go to bed tonight I will write down the things that went well and badly, and try to prepare better next time. Apart from that I guess it's just more hard work for me on the training track. To finish on a positive note, today was my first ever ride with my tri bars. I've not even had a training ride with them yet. They felt good and I had no problem riding on the bars 90% of the time, and I felt stable on them. I also found changing gears to be no problem despite having to get off the bars to do it. Very happy with that.Now, bring on November 4 as soon as possible.... Oh I'm sorry you had a bad race....you've trained well...sometimes a bad race is just a bad race/day. It's totally frustrating I know. I am sure you can do the oly, I'm going to try one in sept. and I'm always BOP, we can train together  Right now you're feeling down from the race not going the way you hoped, but keep on going, you've come too far now and I know you can do it! That is awesome about the aero bars, I can't even fathom attempting that. Get back in the saddle and keep TRI-ing! x2 Chrispy! Sometimes bad races happen and they suck and we deal. But just move on and keep at it. My hubby's BT group is called Relentless Forward Progress. RFP baby! |

Veteran 211 | Subject: RE: Hashers and Mashers - Closed Meljoypip - 2013-04-07 9:19 AM Great week of training for me even if I am slow as a turtle (at all three)- I am also improving in all three sports. Interesting bike yesterday- but chased by THREE bulldogs (while the owner just stood there!!). Thank goodness I found some reserves and out road them.I found a different route home and smiled all the way there On a sad note a member of my youngest son's football team was killed on the way to school Thursday in a car accident. We are a small town and he goes to a very small school were everyone knows everyone pretty well. This guy was an outstanding athlete (one of those that gave 150% every time) and all around great guy. Just about to graduate. Its just been devastating No words. Just sad and sorry. With the Boston tragedy happening...reading this right now. It's tough. Prayers for the family and for all that boy's freinds, including your son. Peaceful, joyful memories to them. |

That having been said, you were in Gulf Shores and didn't swim?!  No...it was cold!! Ocean was cold and the resort pool was FREEZING and tiny! |

Yvonne & Chrispy & Jax, nice job.
Sarah, really???? LOL
So, I'm back .... again. May the Legs Be With You! Tom Glad you're back! |
I did 1.7 mile on the treadmill Thursday after work. Getting up at 5:30 just to get ready for work is tough enough. So I've been trying to get my head into working out after work. Yesterday was 450 yds in the pool. Today, 5K (3.2 miles) in 45 minutes. Not great, but after 6 weeks of nothing, I'm happy with it. I'm going back to Portland, OR on Monday for 1 more week of training. This time, I'm running after work. Because...

Soooo....you may remember I had the Carmel Sprint Tri yesterday........well.......... I ROCKED IT!! I'm so, so happy with my race!! No anxiety issues on the swim and I finished it in 12:36, which is a good time for me for 400 meters. I am officially past the panic issues. From this point forward, I focus on improving my speed. I worked HARD on the bike. For the first time I really feel like I RACED on the bike and the improvement in my time since last year shows that! I loved every minute I was on the bike. And..the run...well, I crushed it with an 8:20 average pace! I couldn't be happier!!!!! When's the next race?!?! Link is here to my race report. http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=484594 Now I'm going to go back over the last few pages of posts and catch up.

I am in shock because looking at your profile picture and reading several comments about school- I assumed you were young college aged. I was surprised when you posted something about a husband earlier today- but on your race report seeing you raced in the 45-49 AG |

Expert 750 Hammond | Subject: RE: Hashers and Mashers - Closed Thanks so much guys. I really have missed being more active in the group. You guys are so inspiring. I am really going to try and stay more in touch. I'm a much better person when I train- lol. I am really hoping some of the work stress is on the down slide. We went to computer charting and I am one of the trainers so I've had to work extra days, later hours and give phone support on my rare days off. Thankfully though, people are finally starting to get it, and need me slightly less. I am hoping that will only get better. Thanks again for welcoming me back. I can always count on you guys.

Master 1348 Gurnee, IL | Subject: RE: Hashers and Mashers - Closed Sarah73 - 2013-04-17 11:39 AM Im getting into a training mindset. Trying to get closer to give me an option to do something. I ruled out IM-KY. Thinking Racine 70.3. I can literally sleep in my own bed, drive to the course. Race and come home for Dinner. But i think i have been in the pool only a couple of times since the Chicago Tri. So ya not sure. As much as i have been riding, i am not in condition to race at pace i would like. So lots of unknowns. Plus i have gained too much weight. Have work to do before i can seriously commit, So thats what i am doing is putting more effort in. And seeing if i can flip the switch......or not. Regardless i am committed to ramping the run. Up. Now i have a new goal.
