BamaDC's Mentor Group v3.0 - CLOSED (Page 32)

These for me.  They fit me pretty well.

Long day here.  Started the day with the duathlon.  Clocked in a 10:25 2.5k (6:43/mile), 35:35 20k  (21.3mph), 10:45 2.5k for a total of 58:35.  7th overall (70(?) total people), 1st in AG.

Stoked about the runs, pissed about the ride.  As punishment I went on a 22 mile afternoon group ride and hit the hills hard.  I need up the bike volume significantly if I want to perform decently in that arena.

Great Race!  The hills are constant in OMSP.

Same here - now that Florida is out I'm officially cheering for Butler or VCU.  Or pretty much anyone who can beat the evil that is UNC. ;-)

Bike 7.8mi. Run 4.95mi. Strength 1hr 15min.

Man I was lazy. I'm blaming it on the stomach virus and the layoff with rehab.

Time to start ramping things back up!

Oh, and I know I'm not fast when it comes to most here, but I ran this morning's 5mi in 44:35 and didn't feel pushed AT ALL. I was apparently the rabbit this morning. I'm starting to think these 1mi & 1.5mi all out efforts 2x a week have been helping.

Now, to start building, and getting the 12mi base back in preperation for the October full!

WooHoo! Congrats on taking the HIM plunge! Just got an email today with my last chance to buy my pics from Augusta last year. Check me out.

Here's the skinny on Augusta, The swim will give ya about a 10 minute head start on whatever you think your splits are gonna be. Its fast. The bike is what I would call rolling, but not really hilly. Theres not anywhere on the course where you would really have to come out of the saddle unless you just want to, to stretch the legs. Honestly, with 2500 to 3000 other peeps on the bike, you get sucked along with a pretty nice little slip stream, even if trying your best not to draft. The run literally could not be any flatter, and the looping course means lots of great spectator interaction to keep ya motivated. You'll do great. One thing I do remember is that there were really long lines at registration, so get there early, and I heard they ran out of finisher medals later in the day.

Tell ya what, I'm 3 weeks from NOLA, and I swear I'm so undertrained its redonkulous. I've averaged about 1 trip a week to the pool, and my run volume is prolly less than 20 miles a week. It's also been really tough to get the bike in this early in the season. I'm looking at  6 hour HIM at least. I'm stealing my race strategy from someone's signature line on ST, "Float, Hammer, and Jog!"

Yeah you've got some catching up to do.  You should be able to easily get in two three hour rides this weekend.  You just have to decided if you want beer and basketball or biking and basketball.
