BamaDC's Mentor Group v4.0 - Closed (Page 27)

Just checking in. I'm alive. I've just been super swamped.

I've been putting in almost 55hrs/wk lately. And barely managing early morning workouts.

This is getting crazy. Good news, it's paid off. I passed the PE exam and that's a HUGE relief off my shoulders and it opens some doors at work.

Now, to get done with work and start training. 11 days to Buster Britton and it's going to HURT!

S:  7390.42 Yd - 26m 42s
B:  205.41 Mi - 11h 15m 28s
R:  54.84 Mi - 8h 13m 58s

Pretty crappy month...

I'm between training plans right now so I don't really expect June to be a whole lot better but we'll see.

That's HUGE, man.  Super big congrats on that!

Oh, yeah, you now have 11 days to Buster Britton. Better get cracking. ;-)  At least the long term weather projections have it not being a 99 degree day.

Wow - that's like 36 seconds per 100.  You're killing it. ;-)

x2  That's way better than any of this tri stuff.

That's great news!

That's awesome, congrats!!

I just didn't want to make you feel bad. ;-)

I normally don't log my swim times because with all the rest between sets I don't think overall workout time means much.  I forgot that the time would get entered when I copy race results into my log.  Too funny.

Thanks folks. It does make me feel good!

Oh, and I found a pool this morning

I found one this afternoon.  Played with the kids and did a whole 25 yards of actual swimming. 

Woohoo - I rule!

Wow Title, very nice!

Considering your issues, I'd say you did pretty good!

x3, Great Job!!  

Alright, I need some advice.....

I was not anticipating getting a new bike this year, but possibly next year look for a tri bike.  I'm currently on a Trek 2.1 road bike with aero bars, which is working okay.

But, I was at the bike shop on Friday and noticed they have the following 2010 models:

A Cervelo P1 for $1190 (retail is $1700)

A Cervelo P2 for $1700 (retail is $2800)

Thoughts???  Is it worth it, or wait until next year for the possible 2011 models.

I'd hold out for the 2011 models as most of them have upgraded to the new BB30 bottom bracket which should make them a bit more future proof for parts (though I could be totally wrong )

Have you been fitted for a cervelo already or did you just come across some good deals?  I'm looking to get a bike at the end of the season and and am considering getting fitted now so I can jump quickly on a close-out sale. 

I have not been fitted yet.  I was thinking about trying one on for size and see what happens.  I just ran across the deals.

Had an oly on Saturday with average results.  It was HOT.  Race report here.

Swim was slower than expected.  880 yds @ 17:49.  Meh.

Bike was good.  24.5 miles @ 1:06 (22.3 mph). 

Run was HOT.  10k @ 47:14 (7:37/mile).  Did I mention it was HOT?

Good race, I'm not 100% satisfied but I finished 9th of 39 in AG @ 2:12:36 and 34th of 261 males.  Overall winner was @ 1:57:xx.

I love my P2.  Bang for the buck it's hard to beat, if it fits.

So, I've been MIA for a while enjoying some family time, and being lazy.  But, today, I committed to Augusta 70.3!

I'm excited for my 2nd HIM - hope to improve upon Orlando and have fun.

Who else is doing Augusta?
