Master 1792 | Subject: RE: Bob Stocks' Group - CLOSED with some awesome peeps!!! Well, here I am less that 24 hours from my first TRI and I could not possibly be any sicker. Had to travel out of town for business Wed and Thur, and now I'm sick as a dog. Have evacuated the entire digestive track to the North and South and have no energy and no way to get any. Tomorrow's gonna suck, but I will start the race! Any hints on what to eat today and tonight? I've been holding on to a bowl of oatmeal for over an hour now. Go me. |

I am so sorry to hear about the sickness. I hope the oatmeal stayed down for you. My recommendation would be to hydrate, hydrate, HYDRATE!!! When you have done that, hydrate some more. Gatorade or something with some electrolytes in it. Take it easy tomorrow and try to have fun! You never know, the illness may work as a taper and you could rock the tri tomorrow. Trying to be a positive mentor here!! Good luck!! |

Master 1792 | Subject: RE: Bob Stocks' Group - CLOSED with some awesome peeps!!! Hi Peeps! I am no longer a triathlon virgin I had so much fun on Saturday. The weather was cool and windy, and the water cold and the bike and run course hilly, but I had a freaking blast! I chose not to wear a wetsuit, the other 98% however, did wear one. A little nervous about the cold water, but after about 25 yards, I was in heaven. The temp was cool, refreshing and wonderful. Lots of hitting and kicking, but I expected it and it bothered me not. The lady that rode on my back for about a minute was a little annoying, but she eventually climbed off and swam on her own again. I thought that's what the kayaks were for, but I guess she found safety on top of me. My son rides on my back for many of my laps, so nothing unusual for me. Besides, what's a minute of a race that's going to take me 2 hours and most everyone else only one. Finished the swim in about 12 minutes I think. Times not posted yet. Out of the water and on the bike. Why do my shoes have so much water in them? Oh well, people would pay lots of money for a 40 minute foot massage like the one I'm getting while riding.....up the friggin hills. Holy cow. Will be adding hill repeats starting TODAY. Off the bike and into the running shoes. OOPs, I forgot to untie them Lesson learned. Off on the run. First things first, is that a snake following me? He increase my pace and made me keep it up for some time. Then he slithered off into the woods. Rest of the run was uneventfull. Walked a little, ran a little. Got passes by folks the whole time. Gotta work on getting a little faster I guess. Too the finish line. Through it with time to spare, from my goal, and I'm still alive and smiling and my husband a son are there to greet me. I see the addiction, and I have it. Thanks for the support BTers! Next one is June 1st. Husband and I are doing it together for our 6th anniversary. Sickness is 95% gone. THANK GOODNESS! |

Extreme Veteran 488 ATLANTA | Subject: RE: Bob Stocks' Group - CLOSED with some awesome peeps!!! So, 2 weeks away from Orlando, gulp. Moving towards the taper and feeling a little anxiety about the race. I know I can finish (test run this weekend proved so) just big fear of trying to do really well and bonking. Easy to solve, but there is alot of pressure, because... I HAVE TO ALWAYS BE FLEXING AND RUNNING FAST WHEN TBATT IS NEAR (assuming she is still attending and cheering)! I have been up the past three nights wondering about which pose would be most appropriate. I signed up Lee Haney for posing coaching but even he is at a loss for how to REALLY capture the moment. I can't blame a bad pose on cold water (I leave that for your fun), you can see my problem. I guess if I am BOP, I can take the time to run through a litany of poses to make sure that I truly capture the moment. I can't have her come back and report to our group...EHHH. That would be bad. So, I am very nervous. I/coach decided to do a run through on Sunday. So, I swam 2200 yards in the pool, did a hilly 2.5 hr/ 42 mi bike through the sunday morning traffic of atlanta (the sermon must have been bad because everyone was aiming for me), then followed it with a 40 min hilly run (slow run just breaking over 4.25 mi). End result is that nutrition could use some slight tweaking, I need a speedsuit so I don't get too tired from the drag on the swim, and the drive back to Atlanta will suck as I stiffen in the seated position over 8 hours.

Last years Gulf Coast Half was my first triathlon after breaking my ankle. I'm well enough to use my wet suit and pull it off my foot now. I'll be leaving early Friday morning to get in an early bike and swim. Where are you staying at for Disney 70.3? Viktor and I are rooming at Port Orleans French Quarers.. We are hoping for Viktor to take the win ;-) |
