Hello MG and conrats on crushing the server! I am still in Germany. I wish I had had a camera with me as we were near border. Went for a hike up and down to foot hills to the mountains as a "team" exercise. I had a good time. I am glad to be back in Munich and can start working out tonight now that I am at the Hilton. Going to go running along the Yser river this weekend. (Might go visit Dachau which will be a somber affair.) Suzy: IF I come to Rev3 it will be for the 1/2. I am NOT driving 6+ hours for just an olympic. Doug man you gotta update that early 90's edition phone you carry. most all have cameras in them now-a-days! i hope you get a chance to visit dachau. my mother visited there when she lived in germany, before i was around. she said its one of the most horrific places she's ever been. don't think she ever made it into poland though, treblinka and aushwitz.... i just can't imagine. The phone I use here is provided by work and is a global phone. It has no fancy features. Nevertheless, here is a photo:  |

Expert 945 Auburn AL | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group II- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! What are you guys using for calculating power on the bike. Seems like alot of the biking plans are using power and everyone is talking about it. EXPENSIVE??? What would be, or is there a way, to guage power without the 2000 tap that works well? |

IE swim 100*5 while doing 10 vertical push-ups on each end of the pool with 30 sec rest and if your time was slower then the last 100 start all over.. It strengthened my upper body in no time. He said my triceps were weak compared to my biceps and they need to be about equal. For the sinking legs thing.. the thing that helped me most was making sure i have proper head positioning. Also every coach that I had, said that in your reach/glide, you should reach and have your legs/toes extended as much as possible IE trying to be as tall as possible during each reach/glide. The more extended I was the flatter and vertical i was.. Stan-what are vertical push ups? I envision it's almost like if I was going to get myself out of the pool without the assistance of the ladder (which I prefer!), and then just push myself up and down on the outside of the pool? with legs hanging down? Aiyah. My triceps are super weak! I have been trying to do chair dips at home 2x/wk along with that p90 stuff, it is hard to squeeze it into the schedule. Maybe I will try that! thanks. btw, love your new avatar, glen. Thanks Kim! Your description of that push up makes a lot more sense than mine. I was visualizing it as pushing myself off the side vs. up out of the pool. Big difference in level of exertion between the two. That's exactly it (Kim's description). The first time I did them I embarrassed myself. After the 3rd 100 i could hardly do 3 vertical push-ups. My first 2 sessions with him were painful. It got much easier after that..

No real way without a power meter. Look used, you can pick up a used wired power meter for under 400 bucks , throw a $80.00 wheel cover and you have your self a pretty bad a$$ race wheel. |

SSMinnow - 2010-10-07 5:57 PM Plainsman AU - 2010-10-07 4:39 PM I worked out this week AND a new thread page started...what a coincidence! And only 1 page to catch up on  Can I hang out with you guys again? Every run away child is welcomed back to the family. Glad to see you. Make sure you stay visible. Stan--did your coach tell you to do any dryland exercises? I bought bands to strengthe my lats...used them a little and they've been on the floor for months...need to dig them out. So staying long, point your toes? He did, but the ones he made me do also centered around strengthening my upper body. The bands he made me use were attached to swim paddles. He made me bend my knees and make my upper body parallel to the floor and put the paddles in my hand as if I were to use them in the water and for 1 min simulate pulling as fast as I can (he made me do it 5 times). He said not only are my triceps weak the second half of my pull was slow. I had 3 wks of lessons with him and the main thing he concentrated on with me is my upper body strength, pacing (my 800 slow was the same as fast) and breathing (increasing my lung capacity). BTW Glen, nice pic. Edited by trying1 2010-10-08 11:15 AM |

Pro 4100 Wherever the trail takes me, WA. | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group II- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Tracy- Funny, cute picture, but really sad and scary! I don't do well with snakes. Not sure how you guys deal with that stuff all the time!!! Hopefully he will be wagging his tail by the end of the weekend! Did you guys see it happen? How did you know? Doug- If it were me.... I would be about 10 miles north of your picture in those hills!! Looks Awesome! |

Were you there when it happened? Yikes!!! Hope he enjoys his loopy state. So it's looking like a rainy day on Sunday in Portland. Blech. It's supposed to be pretty stormy up in these parts (winds, rain) -- hope that's not the case down south. But it is what it is and a little water never hurt anyone. Maybe gave 'em some blisters over the course of 26.2, but blisters are just a small annoyance. Tummy is aflutter today. My second marathon was in a torrential downpour with bouts of lightening and wind. Over 3" fell that day....overall I had a great race, but got the worst chafing where my chest strap rubbed up and down. Shoes weighed a little more, but nothing serious (I wore smartwool thin socks). Wear a hat and if it's cool consider tights or a long sleeve shirt. Most people weren't sporting them and they froze. Me, I felt awesome.....weather isn't your enemy!! |

Doug- If it were me.... I would be about 10 miles north of your picture in those hills!! Looks Awesome! I wasn't there. Doug was taking him for a walk so Hobbs was ahead sniffing through the tall grass. He jumped back and Doug went to see what was there. That's when he saw the snake. He wasn't sure if it actually bit Hobbs b/c he didn't cry out, but by the time they got home he was very lethargic and just laid down in the grass. Within another half hour his face was swollen and you could start to make out the bite marks. You can tell it really hurt by the sad look in his eyes. Today his eyes are much more glazed over and he's drooling a lot. Kind of like me around mile 12. |

Master 1478 Horseheads, NY | Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group II- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Reno8 - 2010-10-08 10:34 AM WELCOME back Barry....glad things are going well for you on the Plains.
First of all...c'mon!!! No one would be complaining if the close call went in their teams favor! Second of all, I think it is kind of crazy that announcers, media, etc. talk so much about these close calls after they have had the time to watch it in super slo mo from 15 differnt angles. The umps are making calls on balls moving 90+ mph. The only difference between umps now and those 10 or 20 years ago is all the technology we have today to prove them wrong. They probably made the same calls back then...it is just that we couldn't tell. If we couldn't tell then, why should we expect them to be able to tell now??? Lincecum was smokin last night. I am hoping for a Yankees - Giants World Series (except for the time zone difference!) but I think it will be Yankees - Phillies. The Philies are looking tough! |

See how the whole left side of his face and neck are swollen and drooping? Poor guy. I had to really work to get him to leave the porch to go pee this morning. He is at home on some wonderful pain meds and spending the day pleasantly bombed. Maybe he'll share with me after work. Tracy, I love the name HOBBS!!! Hope he responds well to the meds, poor baby. |

| Subject: RE: swbkrun Mentor Group II- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! Well, no Triple T for me this year  Getting ready to head out to White Lake this am (bike on the car and everything). End up over at the Er at UNC with Connor. Playing football at recess Connor and another boy both went for the ball and they banged heads. Connor has a lump the size of a golf ball - no kidding. Add vomiting and dizziness to that and his Pediatrician was worried about a concussion. His neurological exam was good at UNC, so they are pretty confident no concussion. ER doc didn't want to do ct scan since he had so many exams/radiation from last years accident - we are in total agreement. Connor and I are going to bed. I guess Triple T was just not meant to be (this year) |

If it were closer, I would be a stand in for you....not as good as you, but would try hard. And Kim's right again....I'm bored. I've come to the conclusion I lead a very singular life....if I can't do a lot of SBR, I'm lost. Pathetic. |
