kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2011 Part 2 - CLOSED (Page 29)

kaburns1214 - 2011-05-14 12:39 PM

Just finished up just under 100 rolling miles on the bike and a 6 mile T run.  Everything felt really good throughout (I asked Shaun if he wanted to do another 40 on the bike and he almost hurt me).

Took it easy terrain wise this weekend because my glute muscle has be achy but we'll head back to the Rev 3 course next weekend for some more serious climbing.

pbrown70 - 2011-05-14 5:32 PM I did my first oly/international tri today. They haven't posted the results but I finished in 2:51 good for 4th in the 40+ clydes. I don't know where to start.. but I know I have work to do if I want to do more of these longer distances. The waves were tough on the swim and I swallowed  alot of water. The run was interesting for me. The tide was coming in so I ran a little more than half barefoot and I had a blister on my toe. The worst part is that I had to go to the bathroom from mile two on in the run. I actually ran through the finish to the bathroom. Note to self no corn on the cob the night before a tri. It was a great day and great race but the high surf and the beach run made it tough. I survived! when they post the results Ii'll post them

One more random cool thing -- had a bobcat run right in front of us during the ride today so for 100 miles we had: bobcat, wild turkeys, ground hog, chipmunks, squirrels, goats (and more goats), cows and chickens.

Any of you see anything interesting in the wilds while training?

What is up with squirrels?  There's a joke with my husband and all my friends that if I'm out on the roads the squirrels better run and hide.  I hit them in my car all the time.  I don't try to, but they start to cross the road, panic, can't decide which way to go, and in the decision making, I take them out I guess.  They really need to commit and GO!

I saw an armadillo the other day riding, which seems odd to me.  We have lots of turtles out over the spring and summer.  I like to stop and safely put them on the other side of the road.  My friends think I'm crazy, but I feel bad for the little guys.  Except the mean hissing turtles, no more picking them up.

Today I saw a flattened snake.  Even dead I'm terrified of them.  That's all I can think of, not very exciting.

Thank you everyone. Here are the results from the race.

International Distance Tri: 1.5K Swim| 26 Mile Bike| 10K Run

Place No.   Name                    Age City                 St Time    Rank Swim    Bk&t1   Rank Run&t2 

  4   517 Paul Brown               41 Bradenton            FL 2:51:57    5   33:42 1:18:23    3   59:53        

They had a problem with the timers and couldn't separate the transition time. The good news is that I came in third on the run by a few seconds. Based on all the times in the run I did ok and I know I can go faster. Swim and the bike need work. I missed 1st in clydes by 7 minutes and it was all on the bike. Any Ideas my next tri is July 16th

An armadillo in Georgia?

Went for a leisurely ride today, 19 miles. Saw nothing fun.

I think I'm going to tackle the mount crest either tomorrow or Tuesday. I only made it part-way up last fall (my first try)

Here's a mapmyride of the whole thing.

I took an easy ride on the single track today with a good friend. I saw nothing but other riders. Came home and stepped off my back deck and went down hard with a torqued ankle. Walked off the ankle pain, but now the knee is killing me. Hopefully a bit of ice and IB will do the trick. I AM racing Saturday.

Oh my race just offered an "open" devision for both Oly and sprint. You start at front of each race, but no AG or weight awards if you do it just prizes from a drawing. What is the purpose of that? No I'm not thinking of doing it, just not sure what group of racers that would appeal to. Oh and no USAT ranking either.

bryancd - 2011-05-15 6:31 PM Hey all! Back from my second Olympic race in the past 8 days. Was 2nd OA behind our local pro Lewis Elliot. Went 2:04 and change. Rode a 58:57 and swam a 22 low, very happy with that.

Hi, everyone! 

I ran a 2:08:31 at the HM this morning.  My goal was 2:05, but I'm happy with my time.  I've only been running for 9 mos. and I gave 100% during the race.  It was pouring the entire time....about 58 outside.  There were 20000 people racing, so there was tons of energy in the crowd (made it really hard to get water at the stops though).  I tried to push myself really hard the last 2 miles, but I was soooo spent. 

My kids did the dash on Saturday.  It was super cute!  I can't get the pics up here for some reason.  They won't paste.  Anyone know why? 

I'm taking another day off tomorrow.  My groin is a tad sore (held up fine during the race) and my kneecaps are throbbing.  I'm going to spend the day resting and playing with my kids. 

Hope you all had a productive, fun weekend!
