Rebecca and Nat, I hope you guys feel better soon.
Duanne, How  ya doing????

This is the mentor group of the walking wounded lately

Thanks for all the advice Guru Garry

All I have done is swim...I believe the chlorine has permeated every pore of my body. AT the end of the month I will tally my miles. I think this may end up being my biggest swim month ever!

 pretty much what Bopper said ..

if you are feeling the water that is a great sign, I've watched lots of you tube clips of great Oly swimmers, believe it or not quite a few of them have their fingers a little bit apart when they are swimming, which is opposite to anything I"ve heard, but they are well coached and it works for them 

It also could be not your fingers that are vibrating but the sensation of the water going across them that you feeling, like when your hand is out of a car window.  which if I were a betting man, would be my bet.

Hey I'm not a guru by any means,, I just have asked lots of questions, from lots of different perspectives and attempted to find the common things that seem to work all the time from various coaches, then asked why. 

I grew up on lake erie, been on boats, scuba'd so I was comfortable enough in water to respect it, but not fear it. So the swim in tri's never bothered me, but i wasn't  fast.  usually just over a 2min/100 when I started out a few years back,  Then I just decided that if swimming is the most technical I should devote the most thinking /coaching time to that.   But I'm not a super fast swimming yet  but I'll get there.  I did break 30 min for a HIM swim, when I was the swim relay person, but i think it was about 150 yards short and it was a wet-suit race.

that should be the incentive to learn swimming,, I did my thirty min swim , then went to our cheering section to sit in the shade started drinking and eating bar b q while the rest of them were out in the hot sun,   I think i was half tanked by the time the runner had to start

Good morning gang...I am off to bed......


So goodnight gang.............. 

My back is SOOOOO much better. I am hoping my PT guy will let me start running again today.

Gary had mentioned swimming in a HIM relay. I have really enjoyed doing relays and would suggest that if you get a chance you try one. Its a lot of fun and I think there is a lot less tension. I have done an IM swim, a HIM swim and an oly bike. Great fun for all of them. If you are the swimmer, its particularly fun, cause you can eat drink and cheer for your team.

Hope you have a restful sleep Helen.

Hope everyone is starting to feel better.

Nighty nite Helen!

Good morning y'all... except for Helen who is probably asleep now... shhhhhhhh.....

Co-Azithromycin works wonders!  I am sooooooooo much better this morning.  I won't be going to my weekly indoor spin class tomorrow but will settle for an easy spin at home.  I will go for an easy swim on Sunday morning for sure and a short easy run if I'm up for it.

Thanks for your get well wishes and have a great day!

Nathalie

P.S.  I am sending get well wishes to those of you who are still on the mend.

Mornin all, I hope everyone who needs it is on the mend!! Slow and steady all remember it's still January!! I hope everyone has a great Friday and you all have fun this weekend!! Tri training is fun remember!!! Enjoy the day!! Chris

Someone left the gate open in here.  I found Gaarryy wandering around my mentor group thread.  Here he is.  Try to get him to workout or something.

Running warehouse is usually a good place to order from, I also order from road runner sports. Nathan makes reflective vests and bands with blinking lights. I have a brooks yellow reflective lightweight jacket and an orange Saucony Viz-Pro quarter zip. I also have a few small clip on flashing lights like you would have on a bike only for your body.

Yay!!! That's fantastic news!

Take it eeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaasssssssyyyyyyyyy.....

awesome!!!!!!!!

finally went to dr. after 7 days of this. sinus infection and right ear infection and tons of fluid in left ear.. hopefully I will be feeling better soon.

Yeah Rebecca and Nats on the mend!

Ahhh Kevin gets to run. I must say I am jealous. Go slow and not far. It will be better to resume running slowly than to resume too quickly and be sidelined again.

I have NOT been given the go ahead to run. PT guy wants me to walk 5 miles pain free before I start. I did 3 miles today. I increase.5 miles everyday. If I have pain  I have to decrease.5 miles. SO far this has not happened. PT guy wants me to swim 1500-2000/ day. I might die of chlorine poisining!!!! Pt guy also said no biking. It requires sitting ( which is hard for me to tolerate more than 45 min) and you must bend at the waist. Apparently its going to be a while before I bike.

Hows things Duanne? Are you running.

Wow!! - hard to keep up with the injuries, pain and sickness everyone is experiencing but I wish you all the best.  We're having some pretty good weather here in FL so tomorrow am I'm going to head out to the same trail I rode last Saturday - keeping it a little shorter this time.  Going to do a quick 20-25 miles and head home for a weekend with the family. 
This will complete my ironman challenge for the month - had the run and swim done a while back.  BTW -  thats my focus for the next few months.  I feel SLLOOOWWW on the bike - I'd like to avg 20mph for a 20-25+  mile ride and just dont know how to get there.  I currently think I'm around 16-17mph and I guess it requires more time in the saddle - but should I be doing intervals, etc like running??
