I saw some mojo just the other day and wondering who it belonged to. ![]() |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() lmscozz - 2011-03-25 5:26 PM crystalashworth - 2011-03-25 3:51 PM Crap...now I'm thinking Iron Girl Lake Tahoe in September! It can be part of a vacation and I can visit my dad. hehe Last year was the first year they did the tri there. I met the race director here in San Diego at the Iron Girl 10K and she offered to comp the race for me. They were concerned about having enough people. It IS very well-run. Good goodie bags, and lots of pro-female rah-rah energy, which can only be good. ![]() Awesome - I'll have to look into it for sure! |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() And welcome back Carla! Apparently we manatees like to take sabbaticals from time to time: http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2009/10/wandering_manat.html I too dropped off for a little while until about the last few weeks before my triathlon - but we just have to swim back in when we can! |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Well - learned a lesson yesterday. Tried to eat well, but did not drink enough. Did my 45 minutes on the bike - pushed a little more than usual, then tried to do 15 minute run. Managed 5 minutes at 7mpn, then BONK. Got tight chestm, and could not catch my breath. Stopped a little and tried again - no go. Ended up stopping and eating a bunch. Still lost 1 lb yesterday, so screwed something up. Forced rest day today and will try some tomorrow. |

Heh, great little find! There's apparently a gazillion manatees (dugongs) swimming around my peninsula. I've seen every kind of aquatic life under the sun, apparently, except for those. The elusive manatee! Maybe I'm Mad Manatee enough for one vicinity at a time ... |

Forced rest day today and will try some tomorrow. Ummm ... I think I've had a forced rest year and season so far I made a 30-minute walk today. I'd call it a walk-ish. But I'm learning to revel in what I CAN do instead of futz around about what I can't. 'Cause, apparently, that doesn't make me more able to do it ... heh. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hey - anyone have an excel file that I could use to cut and past my next several months of training plan in to upload? I'd like to try that instead of doing it day by day like last time. Tried to use one of the files on the site and it did not quite work. Thx, |

I've been following the competitive plan - not a whole lot different other than some more brick sessions and I believe 1 more swim each week. Easy enought to modify. Thanks bunches!

Veteran![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hey All!! I just got the book, The Time-Crunched Triathlete. I haven't read it yet but am going to during spring break. Now that I have this new job, I'm working more hours. I like my job, but I've had to re-think my whole training plan. It has been so difficult to double on workouts. I basically get in a workout when I get a moment after work. I can get up at 4ish in the morning to swim but that is going to take some major DISCIPLINE, lol. 4am seems freakish early. Sooo, I got this book thinking I need some tips, motivation, ideas, thoughts, plans....you get the picture. Has anyone read this book before? I know I have enough training for sprints and even an OLY, but a HIM has me a little worried now. HTFU is probably what it's going to take. Edited by cggale 2011-04-02 6:34 PM |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() All these races this weekend - way to go all. I thought I was doing great with a 3 hour ride on the cervelo and another 45 on my Vulcan 900 (much easier on the Vulcan). Regardless-great day to be outside doing something. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() cggale - 2011-04-02 5:30 PM Getting up at 4 am sucks - no other way to describe it. But it is one time that assures you will get a workout in. I'll give/ take a challenge to see who can get up more consecutive days (weekdays only) and workout for at least 30 minutes. I'm traveling for the next 2 weeks, so it will be difficult for me, but I will try. I've struggled with the 4am since the time change. Still managed to get most workouts in, but it has not been easy.

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hope everyone had a great weekend. Our weather was awesome, so I didn't want it to end. Under a tornado warning right now, but the weekend sure was nice. Congrats to Trina AND Lynn! Great races! Lynn - you will totally rock that IM! And Trina...3rd on your first race...ummm...addicted much I got in a decent ride this weekend (40 miles give or take a little). Changed a flat for a friend...all of the girls were super impressed. Thank goodness my husband taught me how to do that! Same friend took a wrong turn, so after giving her a shout, I stopped to wait on her to catch back up. The nice lady riding behind me politely appologized...then fricking hit me. Knocked me smooth off of my bike. Luckily I was almost to a stop, so I landed kinda like you do when you unclip the wrong foot (you know you've done it) Now, off to yoga to stretch it out and firm it up. |
