There will be NO strength training today! I went to do a set of glute bridges and both hamstrings cramped so hard I was rolling on the floor in pain. I think my body is trying to tell me something!

Talked to the bike shop and not only do they offer pick up and delivery service, but they offer transport to the endurance festival next week (for a grand total of $21 they will transport bike to and from race venue and deliver it back to your house). They are coming to pick up my bike for service, so I think I will have them keep the bike and do the transport, getting the bike delivered back to me at my office, which is near my new apartment--that I move into the day after I return from the endurance festival. This is solving so many problems with one service!

Nice work, Nicole!  Great training weekend.  Quick questions:  what time is Saturday Masters, and where/when is your tri?

I played volleyball for a couple hours last night (beach doubles).

Did a run this morning and it was ROUGH. I think it was a combination of needing a day off, and not having great nutrition. I think had I had some Tailwind before I would've felt a lot better. Wanted to do about 45 minutes. I struggled through 30 and then walked another 5-10 minutes home.

This morning was a short warm-up on the bike, then a 5K on the treadmill in about 35 minutes so a decent pace.  Then did the push-ups/dumbbells/planks routine with The Wife.  About 90 minutes all-in.

Note that I only had to edit the above post FOUR times for typos, screwing up the HTML codes to make the quoting work, and the picture insert twice.  SMH I'm old.

As we all agree being in your proper bike position is important for bike training. Maybe 'your coach' could back off the rides this week, make it a swim/run focus. Rather than suffering through a recumbent that is of questionable benefit to you anyway?

Hi all! I’m trying to catch up and the first thing that caught my eye was Getchen’s post about the jog bra… yup!! As Nicole mentioned, any hint of moisture and it becomes it’s own training event.

Anyway, I haven’t done much recently as we’ve had lots going on at home, both good and not so great. My oldest son committed to a university, yay! Deposit went in, we were all on board.. then he got called from a waitlist to a school he wanted much more, so, yay again… suck up the first deposit and start figuring out the other orange university and becoming a Slice… We’re a few weeks behind others so just trying to get his email up and running so he can get school emails about impending deadlines that are within the next couple of weeks… while I’m traveling..
On the other front, my father in law hasn’t been feeling great for a while and no one could figure out why. Then he had a mini stroke, caught in time; but within a week was back in because something still wasn’t right. Without getting into too much detail, he’s been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. My in-laws live about 2 hours from us so my husband is scooting down when he can. My father in law starts chemo today - but not the version they planned due to other things they’ve found. Blah, long story. He’s such a community pillar where he lives and stoic yet humble man. I’m so sad. Anyway, I don’t know what summer is going to look like for us and I’m out of town this week, home for a day and out again next week while everything is going on. Now is truly the time I should be working out every minute I can just to feel alive and be healthy and strong.
Don’t put things off, folks, live life, travel, do what moves you.
