After you run 42k I think you'll have a different opinion as to what distance is "fun"... The crazy runners that I know, say that the 50Ks don't hurt as much as a Marathon. I call BS, but they contribute it to not running on concrete and asphalt. I've had ideas of doing Pinhoti, but I think I'll wait until I'm in my 40s. |

Extreme Veteran 1005 Sykesville | Subject: RE: BamaDC's mentor group is Closed! BamaDC - 2010-09-14 3:00 PM cornfed - 2010-09-14 9:18 AM Got the race report up. Clif notes version: In no way am I unhappy with my performance but do feel like I could have done better. I was only pushing 252 average and 263 normalized on the bike and think I could have gone harder. Thought it was best given the wet conditions to be conservative and I was very comfortable so I didn't want to risk blowing up on the run. Similar thing happened on the run. I probably could have held my goal pace (7:45/mi) if I had pushed myself some more. Overall I'm very happy with my performance because I figured I would be coming in at 2:45 not 2:35. Great experience. I'm definately hooked. The olympic distance is a lot of fun! Nice race. That race sounds like fun and a PITA at the same time. That's a pretty accurate assessment. I said I wasn't ready to think about next season until this race was over. Now that it's in the distance past I've found myself starting to think a lot about next year. I already signed up for one race because it's local and fills up really fast. I found another that looks interesting. It's an Oly in VA near my parents. Looking at the results from this year it's relatively small (probably less than 100 people in my AG) but a really strong field. Seems like it would be a lot of fun to do. Only problem is that it's only 2-3 weeks after the race I'm already signed up for. How much recovery time do you think I would need? FWIW, I had planned to take it easy this week but feel so good today that I'm going to get out there tomorrow. |

Master 2301 Rogersville, Alabama | Subject: RE: BamaDC's mentor group is Closed! What's gong on this weekend? I had a 5K this morning and ran it in 19:36. Hopefully, I can get in a trainer ride during the Bama Game. |

Master 2327 North Alabama | Subject: RE: BamaDC's mentor group is Closed! Today I've done a little bit of a run, some P90x, and a little extra pushup/situp junk. I fee like i'm slacking, even though it's better than nothing. I may try to get down to the hotel gym for the recumbent bike ride or something else, but we'll see. I'm not really wanting to do too much, b/c I'm thinking of going for the longer run tomorrow. I'll just have to wait and see I guess. Nice race results on that 5k this morning Mark! That's awesome! |

The Bama folks rolled out in force this week. New it would be a blowout. I hate Duke!! I bleed Carolina Blue! |

The timing worked out because there was a lot of BS going on at the firehouse this week (I'm a volunteer FF) but man am I starting to get restless. I'm going to try to knock out a long run later today then get back to work next week. |

I see a lot of recommendations in the tri talk forum about NOT trying to mount or dismount with your shoes already clipped in.

Expert 1066 Raleigh | Subject: RE: BamaDC's mentor group is Closed! Need you guys help with 2 items. 1. Help me mini taper this week. I'm racing augusta 70.3 (first HIM) next sunday. I'm also 8 weeks from B2B my "A" race this year. So I can't afford to miss alot of volume while tapering for augusta. However, my legs are currently jello, and i would prefer not to go into any race feeling as tired as I do right now. My initial thoughts were that I would just train as normal this week, then just take Friday and Staurday off. That may still be my best option, but I'm taking all suggestions. 2. Mark, help me with my HIM bike pacing. I've got it figured for full IM. (GO SLOW) But not quite sure how hard I should go for 70.3 races. |

Hopefully, I can get in a trainer ride during the Bama Game. Good job! I've had a pretty slack week. I had planned for a really light week for after my oly. I didn't plan for one, but ended up taking one after my Oly 10 days ago. After the Oly I just trucked on with a run, a hard ride, etc. On Friday I tried to go out and run and after two miles really felt the muscles that I had over done (on the bike) during the Oly. Called it quits and basically did nothing this weekend. Run today felt fine, despite the fact that it is again ridiculous out there. 90F at 6pm tonight. Still held 8min/mile, so no real complaints here. Last tri ride of the season tomorrow (sniff - I love those rides!). |

All 3. So your normal routine through Thursday. Take Friday off or do a light swim. Saturday, do 20 minutes of 2 of the 3 sports. Race Day. Swim - Survive. From looking at your logs its your weak sport. IM effort. Bike - Take the first few miles easy. Your HR will be jacked! Let your heart rate drop. People will be riding like a Bat out of Hell. I promise,if you take it easy here and you'll catch some of these people between mile 45 and T2. I pace my HIMs at the top of Zone 2 wattage(Coggan's). Some people say ride harder, but I like to be able to run. I've passed quite a few people on the run in both of my HIMs. Practice your IM nutrition. Run - This is the hardest area to give advice. If your still running at mile 12, you've paced it right. And the lure of getting off your feet will pull you through the last 1.1 miles. Body Glide and Sunscreen are your friends! |

Rained all day Killer - fill us in on the splits when you get them. I'm jealous of the rain - would have loved that in any of the ones I did this summer. On my end I did a 35 mile bike and 8 mile run this weekend. Today at 3pm it was 68!!! Took off and ran for a good hour. Wanted double digits, but my calf started to tweak, so cut it short. Injury avoidance being paramount. I have a 5k coming up in two weeks and want to get well under 21. There will be 15k people there, but many more strollers and old ladies than runners. Heck, they decided to stop having chip timing because it was too much of a pain, so I have to time myself. |
