Sarah, I like your new avatar, too.

What does everyone have on tap for today?

G'morning!  Well, I did a 6-mile run this morning and felt great.  I kept my heart rate down most of the time, except it spiked on a couple of wicked hills.  My knee is a bit achy now, but I'm icing it and taking some ibu...and have PT this afternoon.  I think I'll keep my LSD runs under 7 miles for a couple of weeks and see how I hold up.  Then I'll start increasing slowly again.

My biking and swimming on the other hand are ramping up like crazy.  I'm training for my HIM with a group who all trained together for ironman last year.  I'm clearly the slow one in the group and feel like I've fallen off the back of a roller coaster and am hanging on for dear life.  Ha ha.  But they've been great and I'm learning a ton.  And most importantly, having an awesome time doing it.  That being said, I'm really excited about my rest day on Sunday.  :-)

yeah, you would have to learn to wear clothes shaun. When I ran this winter I had UA tights, UA shirt, windproof pants, windproof jacket, hat (balaclava on really cold days), gloves, and wool blend socks. You learn to deal with it though and our bodies are pretty good at acclimating over time. 

It seems like I'm always in a constant battle to keep one of the sports from flailing while the other two are doing great.  The sport seems to switch from month to month, too.

How is that new bike treating you?

Good plan.  Your body could use the break after all the effort it put out during your race.  When is your next tri?

Not until July. Between now and then I have a 4 mile road race on Memorial Day and my Tour de Cure Metric Century in early June. I need to start adding biking distance!

My July tri is sorta a throw-away (300m pool swim, 12 mile ride, 5k run), but it's a repeat of my first ever tri. So, I sorta don't care and I sorta want to crush last year's results. Yeah, I'm conflicted.

Aw.  Don't be conflicted!  I repeated my first tri ever and I shaved a half hour off my first time!  Talk about a confidence booster!

Thanks Shaun.  I'm thinking about that.

Did you guys hear about the swimmer off Solana Beach (near San Diego) that was killed by a shark this morning?  He was a triathlete.  That's where my husband and I go when we are down there!

Check out my log if you want to see how I almost crashed today.

Hope everyone else is doing good.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend.  Cheers!

Nicole and I have invited snady to join us.  Send her an inspire to welcome her to the group.

How is everyone doing this morning?  How did the weekend go?  I'm still feeling yucky but trying to get better.  Cheers everyone!

Bike commute today. Swimming tomorrow.

This weekend I start doing longer rides to get ready for my first metric century coming up in June. 

Good morning everyone!  Ugh, I had hill repeats on my schedule this morning.  Yuck yuck yuck.  But they are over with and that makes me happy.  :-)

Roni - nice work over the weekend!  Way to go on all of those personal bests!!!!!

Tracy - are you feeling better yet?  That crud just hangs on forever.  I started using a Neti Pot awhile back and it seems to have helped clear the gunk from my sinuses a lot faster.  Not sure it will help with your cough, but maybe if you get rid of some of the drainage, your lungs won't get so congested?

Have a fab day!!!

Hey Tracy, how are you feeling?
