You keep thinking that.  I'm having eggs, sweet potato and mango for dinner.

i had a bowl of tuna fish and peas for dinner - so need to go to grocery shopping.  BTW, love breakfast for dinner.

this might be a better question for another thread but,for running I want to know other than the GPS why would I buy a garin 305xt over a forrunner with heart rate.

Ah, I see....I think one of the ones that said she signed up isn't racing, but is a volunteer (she said she was inspired by all the racers to sign up for next year today). Maybe they are taking them early this year, since it's the first year/maybe didn't sell out? No idea.

Says a guy who can KQ on water and two 5-Hour Energy shots...

Having sat through several of the same nutritional sessions as Kel, I believe you guys are in agreement and thinking the same thing however Kel is just not being precise enough in her statements.

The 'gut training' is done through consumption 50% of the calories being expended and becomes more important as the length of the race increases.  You're never really taking in more calories than expended during a training session and the philosophical aspect is to always use race-day nutrition during every training session; regardless of duration.

I believe that you're also in agreement on the concept of starvation training being detrimental once you reach the point when the body has depleted its glycogen stores and must resort to metabolizing either fat or muscle for fuel.

you can take in the water ulike the 305, or other garmins.  there are lots of cool functions.  candidly, unless you want the cool functions and can live without the water proofiness, get th 105 (i think) which is the GPS/HR watch.  much less expensive and much smaller.  I have a 305 and if i had it to do over again id get teh 105 as i dont use 95% of the functions.  I would like somethign water proof as futzing with a watch in T1 at my HIM will be annoying.

14 miler done. pancakes, done. 

Speaking of "training the gut" on Rudy's suggestion i tried EFS.  Lets just say i told my running to stay up wind.  I am sticking with GU/power gels and gatorade endurance.  I'll pack a pickle (he he) for the ride tomorrow to cut some of melted gummy bear taste.

I thnk people generally "over fuel".  me included, at least outside of training.  just think about the people who are sipping sports drink, protein drinks, etc. at the gym.  like you need a gatorade to get you through your zumba class followed by a smoothie after?  you just burned maybe 500 calories and consumed 400, minimum.  I just did a 14 mile run with 3 EFS slurps (300 calories) and 150 calories of sports drink.  At my size (6 1 225) i likely burn close to 1000 cal/hour running.  candidly, i could have done it with just water and would have been fine.

As Bryan and Kelly said, keep it simply and repeat.

And the top woman out of the swim, overall, is from Austin! 

Long ride this morning.  Having issues with my SI joint, so no running this weekend.  Back on the bike for another 20 miles or so tonight and then another 4 hours on the bike tomorrow (split 2 and 2).

Not happy with not running but also not happy with the unilateral lower back / hip pain.

This is why people get discouraged at losing weight.  They read all these articles on optimum ways to workout etc, etc, etc.  What they don't look at is weight lifters and athletes in general take the majority of thier calories in around that 1-2 hour period for the entire day.  People take in 400 cals and then eat more than they need to the rest of the day.  Lifters also use "supplements" to help their body better utilize food.

good thoughts to you and your SI joint.  lay on the floor on your stomach proped up on your elbows.  this decompresses the disc and should help a bit. tell shaun to give you a good butt rub.

Well, my day got derailed this morning.

Getting it worked on by the massage therapist.  I can do a cortisone shot but only sparingly.  I don't want to waste my shot now when I may need it for LP.

Sorry to hear about your dog Steve.  I have a soft spot for all dogs.  One of our dogs has had tumors, so we've done surgery several times and chemo treatment.  It's so hard.

Hope Jasper's going to be ok.

Good luck to Karen, Jeff and Terry tomorrow!

Also Rudy and Jeff-y behave at the Bloomin Metric!

Had an awesome run this morning for the charity run, felt soooo good. Slight stomach cramps towards the end but pushing on it did the trick. I turned the fun run into a brick session by riding my bike in for it (nice 30mins each way). Biggest event ive been in, 13,000 people, it was mad. I thought the bike ride would be my warm up but then we had an hours wait in the cold before the run so was pretty tight getting going, but damn it felt good =)

Does the BT training log automatically count your kilometres into your training plan? It doesnt look like it has for me, so i added it in as a seperate training session.
