The bike route is oh so flat, sooo much flatter than what I train on. I hope to be able to go FAST! That is crazy warm. The water here is struggling to reach the mid 50'sI was told that the water is up to 71F! The race season starts tomorrow!!!! :D |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() morrisel - 2010-05-03 7:06 AM So I've been having issues with my leg again (left leg this time), and I've scheduled a DR appt for tomorrow. Really concerned about what is going on. Luckily (I think), it doesn't feel like a stress fracture, but more like I have tendonitis or something along those lines. Please keep your fingers crossed that this won't put me off training. I just started training for an OLY and that would be a huge set-back for me. *Sigh* I hope that it turns out to be something minor and you can recover quickly. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() MDHillSlug - 2010-05-02 6:53 PM I'm waiting on the official results from today's Aquabike race. I forgot to start my watch so I have no idea what my swim or T1 time was. No panic at all on the swim, so that was good. T1 felt slow. I got my butt kicked on a totally flat bike route; wasn't expecting that. The route went through the pine forests of southern NJ, and all the pines picked this weekend to pollenate; the air was so thick with the stuff that we all ended the ride yellow. It was on your lips every time you licked them and it was wreaking havoc with my contact lenses; it's hard to bike your hardest when your eyes are tearing and feel like they are filled with grit. It sucks when the racing conditions are against you. They posted total-time results at the race and I was 5/5 for Aquabike women ![]() ![]() |

Turns out I had to get an x-ray when I went to the doctor yesterday. She told me I probably wouldn't be able to race on 5/29 (my next tri). Looks like I do have another stress fracture, but I won't find out until later this week if it's confirmed. *Sigh* Also, I strained my back last week spinning. I attempted to be a rockstar and put the resistance too high and ended up pulling with my back & not my abs. Stupid me. So I'm trying to ride out that pain, which should go away in a couple days. Overall, not a great week for me. But I hope everyone else is enjoying a great Cinco De Mayo/Hump Day! Edited by morrisel 2010-05-05 2:15 PM |

Member ![]() ![]() | ![]() so i went to my tri camp this weekend. it was GREAT. my knee was fine although i wore a brace just in case. i learned so much. we practiced changing a tire. we did swim drills with them filming us so they could point out things we should change. we ran sprints. they watched us run and gave us tips on changing our positions and postures. we took a nice long bike ride with some good tips on peddling. they were very patient. it was really hot and we were all slower than normal with me slower than that. but i never felt hurried or pressured. it was SO worth it. the camp is in Baltimore but we had some women come from as far away as West Virginia. here's the website if you want to check it out: http://www.shedoestri.com/ now all i have to do is put all that together and do my first tri for the season. judy |

Regular ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hey everyone, sorry to have fallen off the radar for a bit and not congratulate everyone on their recent races and accomplishments! You're all fantastic! After my little injury setback, things are feeling pretty good, and my Tri Training group started last night with 90 minutes of swim drills. Aside from being a prune by the end, it was fun - and I might even conquer the front crawl (instead of the breast stroke plan B). We're doing biking and running drills on Saturday. On a disappointing note, my sister has dropped out of racing this with me (a long dramatic story) - so I'm on my own now. And exceedingly grateful for this group and my training group. May our logs be filled with color this racing season!!! ![]() |

Changing a tired is one of those things I think everyone should do. You never know when you'll be stuck somewhere with a flat. Are you feeling more confident for your first race this year? |

If it's any consolation, know that you're doing the right thing by resting and sitting out of races now rather than continuing and letting the injury get worse. It's sometimes harder to do the right thing (rest) than the more fun thing (race). |

I'm signed up for a century this weekend, although I have the option of 25, 50, or 100 miles. I haven't been able to ride for awhile, so I'm thinking 25 or 50 miles for me. Sunday, I'm going to try to get in an easy run. |

Sunday, I'm going to try to get in an easy run. Doing some tentative running with the dog tonight to see how my back reacts, with odd warm-up drills from the coach. Which should amuse the neighbors. Swim drills tomorrow, corkscrews and practice breathing - they've forbidden my trusty nose-clips. And we're practicing bike and run drills Saturday at 7 am. 7 am. The horror. At which point I get next week's marching orders. |

I end up getting my workouts in pretty early during the summer because of the heat here. And it's good practice for race day. ![]() |

Member ![]() ![]() | ![]() no training for a few days. yesterday i fell of the bike. it wasn't much of a fall, a few scratches on the elbow. i hit my head but you can't even tell where when you look at my helmet. but within a few mins it set off a major fibro flare. every square inch of me hurts. so i need to take a few days off till this settles down. damn. it's not 2 steps forward and 1 step back. more like 2 forward and 2 back. ![]() judy Edited by UNCI 2010-05-08 4:47 PM |

Sorry! If you know you hit your head then you need to replace the helmet, even if there's no visible damage. They are designed to sustain only one impact. Better safe than sorry. Take the time your body needs. |

Hope you are feeling better soon. I do agree with Nicole. If you hit your head, please replace your helmet. Even if you can't see any damage, chances are you cracked the foam and it won't protect your head enough the next time. |

But, some of the manufacturers will give you a credit towards getting a new one if it has been in a crash and it's less than 5 years old. Worth checking out! |

Maybe, just maybe, we won't have a windy weekend. Please? |
