553  St Catharines, Ontario | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open Originally posted by Qua17 Originally posted by badmo77a Mentor buddies: 4/6 for the month and need some advice. I was sure I was getting nothing out of the weekend as I was at a three day conference. However with some great family support I got out for 5k on each evening to make the 28\28 a reachable goal. Today there are serious thunderstorms in the area and lots of rain which ruined my cycle commute (would have got me 2 workouts). I have no trouble of riding or running in the rain but had no way to transport dry clothes for my day at work. So now I am staring down the barrel of running a 4th day in a row. My legs have seriously complained about running 3 days in a row. With km times reducing by about 10 seconds each day. I have never before tried daily running and I am getting all sorts of calf twinges. Hopefully the feeling of my legs adjusting and improving. Anything I should be doing? I have been stretching but probably not enough. Might give the roller a go tonight. Do I need to just ride through the period of adjustment? Adrian, the 28/28 challenge is to motivate people to resist inertia, get off their , and get out the door. You have been doing battle to get workouts in.. It's not your fault it rained today.. Plus - your body is telling you it's tired. So feel free to take the day off. If you decide to soldier on - be sure to roll and ice. You are a machine! I had a go on the wii fit instead. Even though the workouts on the device are low impact the mixture of yoga, balance exercises and games provided a good half an hour of work. I think I benefited last year from doing the balance based games on the Wii in the form of better running form. So I resurrected it last night and had some fun on the simulated ski run and obstacle course. My wife has the car for taking the kids to swim lessons this week and so I am on my bike for work commuting for the rest of the week. So no dead days hopefully this week. |

New user 180 Auburn, AL | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open Originally posted by Qua17 Quick question for the group - I am really struggling to drink enough water on my long rides and runs. Our place up in MI is about 15 miles outside of time and the places where I am running and biking don't have a convenience store on every corner. Plus, I only have two bottle racks on my bike. When you combine these factors with the fact that I sweat about 45 oz per hour, I am getting dehydrated way too frequently. With money being tight - does anyone in the group have any ideas about how I could bring more water along on my rides/runs? I could slip another bottle in my bike shirt - but that only buys me another half hour and doesn't work on the run. I was thinking of getting a hydration back pack - but they are kind of expensive. I basically have 4 more weeks of training and then the problem solves itself. Thoughts?
This will not help you on the run, but the easiest way to add a bottle cage to your bike is to zip tie one under your saddle. With a cheap bottle cage this should be less than $5. If you are on a TT bike you could also zip tie one in between your aero bars. Random picture form the internet.

| 1941 , Vermont | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open 5/28 with a swim/run brick today. (stunk having to take 4 days off but sometimes you just have to if you're going to mend and come back strong I guess) only a 1/2 hour in the pool at o'dark thirty so 1600 yds was it with a 4.3 mile run as soon as I got home at 9:00 min/mile pace. (got it all in before the kids woke up!) Slowly coming out of the fog of the chest thing - still coughing after a good workout but it's all good, I'm on the mend. i did manage to down a couple Saranac Pale Ales while at the lakehouse so all was not lost!

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open OK - I'm really tired! Did a hill workout today that went right into a brick. It was a good ride and run. I'm just running out of steam. Going to bed. 40 days. |

Extreme Veteran 2098 Alberta | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open Looking like it is going to be a hot one for my race Sunday. High of 93. I am going to ditch the wetsuit for the race. Water should be warm enough. Be nice to rip through transition and not worry about strip off the sausage casing! |

| 1941 , Vermont | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open 6/28 with a bike ride. Hit construction and had to stop a couple of times, also an exposed dirt/gravel patch (thankful no tire blowout), and probably one of the stronger headwinds on the way back - all good challenges. Time crunched to an hour to pick kids up from swim team but i got back in about 1:03 with all the stopping for a 17 mile ride. So happy I got it in!! I get one hour from 8-9 three mornings a week to fit a run or bike in with hubby traveling. Gotta make it count! Best, Jenn Edited by aviatrix802 2014-07-09 10:05 AM |

Next time - make the kids wait - they can work on your mother's day card for next year! |

Expert 4269 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open Did a swim today. My schedule called for a 45 minute swim but I decided to stretch it so I could swim across the lake and back (at it's narrowest point). Glad I did. Despite running into some massive forests of seaweed (totally freaked me out), I did something I had never do before. That's the thing with IM training (and triathlon training in general) - you are always changing the notion of what you can accomplish. 13 mile run tomorrow. I had a two hearted ale (my last good beer) in the fridge. All I've got left for the next 9 days is Bud and PBR. Triathlon is expensive. |

| Member 166 Bismarck, ND | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open I am WAY behind on my training!! I am getting so frustrated that I haven't been able to get the workouts in. I have even considered not doing my race in August. I haven't registered for it yet. I know I can do the distance. I did a sprint in June with a lot less training. But, I put so much pressure on myself. I feel like if I don't get a great time (for me) then the summer was a waste. I also received my new saddle today. I bought a Cobb V-flow. Put it on the bike this evening. Took it around the block hoping it would be awesome and it still hurt. Actually, in some spots it hurt worse. Hoping I just need to "break it in". Suppose to do a short brick tomorrow. Will see how it goes. |

Have you been fitted on your bike? it could be something as simple as the angle or where it is. What distance are you doing in August? Sign up and see how much more you are driven to train... a warm coors lite might be in order for you.... |

That is the great thing about tri training(especially with yours) pretty much any cold beer will do, at least the first two... Geat job on your training David! |

| 1941 , Vermont | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open Thanks for the boost, Dave, I don't feel fast! A couple of my friends race and are pretty fast - one is one of the strongest cyclists in the northeast. This is my first year on a road bike (probably 10 rides - maybe less - under my belt - all under 30 miles) and I constantly ask them how to go faster. Just keep riding! I was hoping to try a time trial race tomorrow night for the fun of it (I won't be competitive but what the heck, why not), but the youngest has his first swim race and the older one has a birthday party to go to so I'll be running kids around. All good things to those who wait! I look forward to hearing about your race in....40 days? Heck, my first sprint is in 2 1/2 weeks and I'm a wreck - so motivated by what you're doing and hoping maybe I can do a HIM someday. Baby steps. You're a mentor for a reason. Cheers. Its sounds like I need to send you some libation. Cheers!  |

| Member 166 Bismarck, ND | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open I had the bike fitted before the new saddle. I just placed the saddle according to the websites recommendation. I am going to actually take it out tomorrow and see how it feels over a longer distance with bike shorts on. Then I will try some tweaking. I registered for my race. Since, I waited so long, it was $96. So, I am doing it!!! |

| 462 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open it was a long holiday week, but I only missed 1 workout after spending 16 hrs on my feet for the 4th (at work) then having a long stand off the next day. On a plus I made the local news hahaha My daughter and I are both racing on Saturday then I am racing again on Sunday. Should be fun but tough. I'm at 7/28 |

New user 180 Auburn, AL | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open Managed to squeeze a 1 hour run in this morning. Life and weather seem to keep getting in the way of my training and it's really starting to upset me. I need to get better about scheduling in advance and checking the forecast! |

| 423 | Subject: RE: Beer Drinker Accountability/Appreciation Society - Open Hitting the training hard in the next 4 weeks, the last push to IM Tremblant. I've built a solid base in the swim and bike so I'm going to focus on the run in the next few weeks. Will be doing mostly easy long runs leading up to the race and some top-end work on the bike to try and push out a few more km/h on race day. I've started racing in my local cycling club's weekly criterium races in order to work on VO2 and threshold. Anyone following Le Tour? It consumes most of my time which should be spent on my research paper. It's one of the most exciting tours I've seen in years. |
