 Alpharetta, Georgia |  Subject: RE: Full Vineman Triathlon : Official Threadkenb - 2012-12-18 5:04 PM So for you veterans out there, I am constantly sore, what do you do about it? and if you're gonna tell me I just have to HTFU, well , that's the answer I'm expecting anyway. Where are you sore/what is sore? My first suggestion is a foam roller or Stick. I need to get better about using those BEFORE I get injured, but they have helped me tremendously in the past. Other ideas are Bio Freeze, yoga/stretching, massage, and rest. Edited by lisac957 2012-12-19 9:39 AM |

Veteran  395  Henderson,NV | Subject: RE: Full Vineman Triathlon : Official Thread Agh!!! Lisa, why , why do you have to bring up the foam roller, what did I ever do to you???? Yeah, you're right, for as much as I hate the roller, I feel a whole lot better after. Now all I have to do it find where I hid it. |

Seems like a great race to target in 2014. THE 70.3 IS ALREADY SOLD OUT. IT SELL OUT VERY QUICKLY...LIKE IN 20 MINUTES. I DON'T THINK THE FULL SOLD OUT LAST YEAR.The waiting list sold out on the same day as well on the 70.3 |

I just bought a foam roller. I have never had ITB issues before, but it is killing me so I thought I would take the week off from biking and running and use the roller. THAT SUCKER HURTS! The roller is a torture device! haha. I guess I was hoping for a miracle cure and would instantly feel better. |
Once I do...I'm going to hide or burn that thing! | 2012-12-20 4:37 PM in reply to: #4542688 |

Just read your race report from last year. Made me laugh and tear up. Thanks for sharing it! What hotel did you stay at? |
He's 12 years old and running is not his thing. Got on the dreamill today for 6 miles...racing a "double" this weekend. It's a 10k run, a quick break and a 5k run. The faster you run the 10k, the more time you have between the 2 different runs. Should be interesting. | 2012-12-24 4:40 PM in reply to: #4479272 |

That sounds like a wonderful idea. I did a 45 min. run in the rain. Am suppose to swim 2500 continuous, but no pool today. Will get it in sometime this week. |

Veteran 395 Henderson,NV | Subject: RE: Full Vineman Triathlon : Official Thread So what's everybody else got going on this weekend, I've got my first brick of the season planned, 3 hour bike and 25 min run. The nice thing about living in Vegas is it's usually nice enough to train outside all year long, the bad thing is that it will still be cold enough that I'll be wondering what the heck I'm doing on a bike outside |

Veteran 395 Henderson,NV | Subject: RE: Full Vineman Triathlon : Official Thread Lol, no Lisa, you're not slacking. I have a half in April that I am training for , also I am really anxious about the bike portion. In my last attempt at a full, I completely screwed up my nutrition, and I crashed and burned for it. I don't want to make that mistake again, so even if I don't go fast , the goal is to go long and learn to eat and drink on the way. |

Expert 977 Huntington Beach | Subject: RE: Full Vineman Triathlon : Official Thread Anyone know about camping in the area? I would probably get the best rest if I was able to haul my 5th wheel up there and sleep in my own bed. |

Regular 161 Los Angeles | Subject: RE: Full Vineman Triathlon : Official Thread Quite a few campsites are available along the river rd between forestville and guerneville. Some of them have RV hookups. |

Keep in mind these places are a bit further out, less restaurants, etc. Also Guerneville is an "interesting" place....cute, tiny, town....think Deliverance meets The Castro District. The race has 2 transition points and parking is usually not that bad on race day if you decide not to stay close to the swim start. Even better if you have family with you, let them drop you close to transition while they find parking. |

Veteran 395 Henderson,NV | Subject: RE: Full Vineman Triathlon : Official Thread Not really trying to lose any weight, I can't seem to eat enough to keep my weight when I'm training. This year it's more about eating smart through the day instead of eating junk and then eating like a madman after a training session |
