Boston Beginner's Mentor Group - CLOSED (Page 30)

Well after a week off, I think I may be healed.  I really hope so.  It's frustrating being injured.  I am just going to take it easy.  How is everyone else doing?  We had an awesome weekend weather wise here, and I got out and ran tonight.  It felt good.  Hopefully winter is behind us and the weather motivates everyone.  Have a good week.

For those keeping track at home, we have 2 more finishers of the IM Challenge, skymedx and scogz1.  I don't know who finished first, but congrats to you both.  There are also a couple of more of you that are really close.  Keep it up.

Nice job Charlotte. Hard work always pays off.

Very nice job.  You are putting us to shame.

In the summer I just wear my tri suit.  In early season races, I just wear my tri bottoms and put on my top out of the water.   

Calf pains--seems like every once in a while the pain in my calf returns--do my stretching, use the stick but it keeps giving me that nagging pain-what do you do for calf stretching?  Maybe I need a new angle!

I wear my tri top and bottom under my wetsuit when racing. I have found it quite a PITA to try and put a tri top on when wet. The pockets can not add to drag when they are under the wetsuit

We are about to get 3 days of rain, but next week is supposed to get up into the high 50's.  

I am going to a swim clinic this morning.   Some of the other group members were supposed to join me, but backed out.  (a little guilt trip).  I will report back on all the good tips I get.  Have good day.

We missed you, but we will do it again.  Someone told me to have a pile of pennies at the pool and make a separate pile for every lap.

Is anyone else waterlogged?  We got 6 inches of rain the past day and half and it's not supposed to stop until tomorrow.  It's a good thing there was no snow on the ground.  Makes it kind of difficult to do any biking or running outside.  I can swim in my neighbor's front yard now.  

Says who?  I log it as bike time.  I entered the spin bike under bike equipment and just select that bike when I spin.  Try it, it's easy.

So the injury bug keeps on biting.  Looks like I have a hernia and need surgery.  Kind of sucks big time.  I just can't stay not injured for more than a coupe of days this year.  It's driving me crazy.  I hope I am getting everything out of the way early in the year.  I have an appt with the surgeon on Thursday, so I will know more then.
