Master  1989     New Jersey |  Subject: RE: Team Vixen - Dec. Limiter Challengechartierm22 - 2008-12-08 8:10 PM Ok, need some opinions here, I am training to do a sprint (my first) this summer. Should be ready by begining of summer I'm thinking (actually before then but no races till then). Would it be too soon to then train for and complete an oly by the end of summer beginning of fall? YES, DO IT!!! In fact, you can "aim" for the Oly as your main race, and just think of the sprint as part of the training. Careful though - you're going to do one, and then want to add in about 10 more before the Oly. It's addicting! Really, the key is the swim. Are you comfortable enough that you'll be able to swim about a mile by end of summer? you can always coast on the bike, and walk the run portion, if you really had to. And I'm sure you'll have a bunch of fans hanging out cheering you on, sipping their fine chardonnay out of styrofoam cups. |

Would it be too soon to then train for and complete an oly by the end of summer beginning of fall? Yes, actually the swim part will be the easiest for me. I started swimming as soon as I was able to crawl and kept swimming right through HS swim team. We have a family cottage on a lake, so OWS is not a problem either. I could go out today and swim for a mile. Would not be very fast, but I could do it. |

Minds are always in the gutter around here LazyMarathoner - 2008-12-08 8:20 PMOn a happy note, I believe I found my Ironman coach today! We spoke for an hour and I really like him. "Like him, Like him" ?????Or just "Like him" ? But I kinda like him, like him! As a coach, that is. He seems perfect. Has a physiology background, long coaching history and coaches full time. He's very personable and we got along well. I think he'll keep me from overdoing it and be sure every minute I spend training is valuable. I talked to him about not wanting to give up my life for this and he said he can help me try to find the right balance. Now I just have to hire him and get started! |

Master 2665 The Whites, New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Team Vixen - Dec. Limiter Challenge Hope the flight ended up going well, despite the delay. We except postings from the hot tub! Well, not literally from the hot tub, bad for the crackberry, but, you know, from the warm glowy wonderfulness of curling up for a movie in the super soft bathrobe AFTER the hot tub, glass of vino in hand. Too bad you have to ruin a perfectly good trip with biznes, huh? |
