Wes inspired me to start blogging. I'll post the link once I get my first blog done. Blogger even let me redirect my blog to use my domain. I used to run a Linux box to host a lame website where I posted all our pictures so friends and family could look them up. I got tired of maintaining it so I turned it off a while ago. Does anyone know of a photo hosting site similar to blogger where I can upload my pictures there and have it look like they are on my server using my domain name? |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() ransick - 2010-04-23 7:39 PM It is pretty flat where I train. For my third ever tri, I signed up for a Sprint that is very hilly (for me). Check out the bike course http://maps.onemillionrevolutions.org/profile.jsp?segmentID=10611 elevation. As if that is not enough, the run is much more hilly than I'm used to too. http://maps.onemillionrevolutions.org/profile.jsp?segmentID=10612 Nice 17% grade near the end of the run should be fun. I know it's no where near as hilly as PA, SC, CA and many other places, but it is hilly for me. Any training suggestions? Find the biggest hill I can and do hill repeats once a week? If there is a bridge or overpass nearby you could use that. Some people also practice riding or running into headwinds to use that resistance as practice for hills. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hello everyone. I made my 5K today and beat my training time by 7 full minutes. Still slow tortoise but I will take it. It was a little hilly but not bad and I finish with a smile on my face, sweat on my brow and hunger for the next one in my heart. I want to drop my time by another 10 to 12 minutes before the season is over. I believe as the weight drops so will my time. I believe as I get back into biking hard again it will melt away as long as I leave the table a little hungry. I am glad the blog worked for you. You know I will be checking it regularly. Anyone tracking the Ironman Africa tonight/tomorrow? Edited by wmcgee62 2010-04-24 7:47 PM |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Congrats on your 5k Wes! Is that your first since starting training up again? Where are you tracking the Ironman at? |
![]() ![]() |
Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Yes my first 5K ever. I used to run while on the Boxing team in the Air Force. My coach would get me before breakfast and drop me off 3 to 5 miles from the chow hall and tell me I had so many minutes before the chow hall closed. So if I didn't get there in time I would miss breakfast. When training I never wanted to miss a meal. LOL My forte was quick and hard punches. The only thing harder that my punch was my face (coach used to tease me that I was trying to break their hands with my face). Speed running has never been my thing. He would tell me 12 miles and I would be gone for a long long time. Any way thanks for the encouragement. I will research the link and PM it to you. I am following a guy who blogs that was a was a Clydesdale and now is real competitive Ironman. Will let ya know |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Looks like you can track it on Ironman.com. It will be around 1 AM my time when it starts so it probably wont have results till 2. I am one hour ahead of you. I am tracking Johan Stemmet and believe he will place good enough to qualify for Kona but you never know. |

Veteran![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() The guy (John Stemmet) qualified for Kona. Did the Iron Man South Africa in 10:10. Far cry from his first tri at 258 lbs and had major trouble in his swim. That's motivating His blog is http://tri-stemmet.blogspot.com |

First tri of my season went really well, despite some pretty nasty weather on the bike leg. I met Ryan and another BTer named Laura! Ryan kicked major butt out there. I have not had time to work on race report but will do so later today. |
