That would be 5% over my max. I have my max set at 188 BPM. Based on my age 36 (almost), and some training runs lsat year at a track.
It only hit 105 just after the finish line as I was running very hard to the end, the last 500 meters I kicked up the pace when I saw how close to 1:39:00 I was.
Any input would be great as I always seem to run at a high HR. I tend to really push myself so I figure thats what it is, to make the time I wanted thats what I had to run at.

Gotcha. I just PM'd you about this but it was before I read this post. Doing the old 220-your age just gives you a ball park number as to your max HR. For some people this will be accurate, for some people it will not. It appears that this formula is underestimating your HR max. A better way to get your zones would be to do LT tests. You should do one for running and one for cycling cuz they will likely be different. The easiest way is to do time trial tests.

1. warm up for 20min or so
2. hit your lap button
3. run as hard as you can maintain for 30 min
4. at 10min into the run hit your lap button again
5. at 30min into the run hit your lap/stop button

look at your avg HR for the last 20min of the time trial. This is your lactate threshold prediction. You can figure all your zones from this number.

I can explain more later but I have to go right now.

Just go man.  You just waste time if you stop at the porta potty.

I get to see this dude swim just about everytime I go to the pool.  He looks like he is flying when he's in the water:

I swim at the Purdue pool and it seems like every time I am there the guys team is practicing. I am always amazed at how huge they are. They all seem like they are at least a head and a half taller than me (and a good deal more muscular than me). Granted I am only 5'8" and 145# but these guys make me feel like a little kid.

And like your pool friend, they are pretty fast. If I can wear fins and only have to swim 25 yards to their 50, I can keep up with them.

 It is nice to come in under the goal AND then to look up the actual race results and find out you were actually 2 minutes faster than 1:57 too. I guess I was delirious at the end of the race because I just heard it wrong (I didn't actually see the clock, but they were announcing times).
 It was a pretty good event. It was an all women's race which was interesting, and they should have had 2x as many portapotties given that, but the expo was great and they had champagne and chocolates at the finish so that was fun. And tons of food.
The course was on roads with a serious grade because it was on the water of the San Francisco Bay and they are designed with drainage in mind- which means my IT bands are both still a little mad...

Don't know if y'all know about this or saw the link over in COJ:

http://www.chainlove.com

This site is sorta like woot.  Basically, it's one piece of cycling gear or equipment and they sell it at some ridiculous price till it's sold out, then they throw up another product.  I just got a Castelli rain jacket for $25, and was too late jumping in on a Shimano 105 crankset w/bottom bracket for $99 yesterday.

why would you want 105`s lol,

Just a question for everyone, How many hours of sleep per night do you get on average? Because I`m on shift work, Days = 6 hrs with a 1/2 hr nap after work...Afternoons 8.5 hrs... midnights = 8 hrs.

5-7 hours a night usually.  Assuming I actually fall asleep when I get in bed.  During some long training weeks I'm so wound up I'll lay in bed till 2am before falling asleep, then have to get up at 4:45 to get to the pool

I would like to get 8 hours and try to get that. Most of the time it's more around 7.

Anybody racing this weekend??

I got an OLY.  Well, for some reason we only swim half a mile, but then it's the 40km bike and 10k run.  Looking like some pretty sucky humidity, but the temps might not top 90 until I'm finished.  At least I hope they don't.

another question, what recovery drinks do you use after a workout/race? I just started using cytomax recovery and have found it helps.

Big fan of Endurox myself.

And double bacon cheesburgers for post race recovery.

The cheeseburger was delicious.

So, I've been training since January, all in hopes of breaking 2:30 today.  I did 2:24:24, and I cut the mess out of my foot on something in T2.

Awesome job Bill & Nathan.
I finished Bay Swim today within a few minutes of my target time. I've never been more exhausted in my life. I'll put up a full report later.

I'll jump in. I did my first tri of the season yesterday. A sprint (450, 14mi, 5k). I went 1:05 something. They don't have splits and I didn't wear any watch or anything so I have no split times. I got fifth I believe and first in my AG. I roped my younger brother into doing it as well. It was his first and he did very well. Oh yeah, it poured during the bike and we had 20mph winds with gusts!!

Next week I am doing a triathlon in Utah. WHat?!?! I am really visiting a friend and we said that we would do the triathlon while I was there as an aside. It will be my buddy's first race. Hopefully it won't pour rain this time.

Congrats everyone on doing so well in your races!!
