Elite  4108   Calgary,AB,Canada |  Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN!fattyfatfat - 2009-05-04 7:15 AM Tony: Those times are good to go and 8/21 is great! I might have missed this... did your wife race too? Roni: Great job and I'm glad to see your comments on having fun. Sometimes I forget that part. 12k is a cool distance too. Beth: 88 miles...NICE! Houston to Austin MS was 1 day too this year. The campground at the midpoint was about a foot underwater. Rob: I didn't realize you were heading to Cuba. We are gonna need a race report for that! I've sailed around it a few times but never stopped by to say hello. I hope we open that place up again for travel. From what I've seen and heard it's like you travel back in time when you go there.. John We were there a couple of years ago. Havana is the time travel. We have pictures in the city and all you see are cars from the 50's and 60's. But an amazing little country. It truly is amazing to see the differences in say Mexico and Cuba. |

Also at that point that was as far up as I could get my head, visor up bad for aero but too much spray on the visor. I really wanted to be off the bike at this point but I saw the photographer so I pushed it to get by him, then I slacked off... |

Regular 310 Seymour, IN | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! I'm back but ready to go right back to bed. But not due to the race. We got back in town last night at 10:30 from my son's baseball tourney (which he lost in the title game). And then I had to finish a project that I had promised for this morning for my kids' prinicipal. Anyhow, 13.1 miles - 2:18:17. Thanks for everyone's input here - especially my recent AM nutrition question. Ate PBJ at 4:30 and 5:45 and a banana at 6:50. Then took gels when I felt hungry during the run. In November I couldn't run a 1/2. When I signed up 2:10 was my time goal. My primary goal though was to run absolutely every last inch - which I did. I never stopped for traffic, drink (drank while running), stretch, tinkle, nothing. I was slow as a turd, but I never stopped. This sport is so mental...the brain is an amazing tool. Had I not overcome my brain early in December I could have never done this. Actually, the 13.1 was relatively easy. Physically I was able...and mentally I was in cruise control. Enough of the sappy stuff... The start was frustrating because walkers were all over the course so there was a lot of weaving. The first 1.5 miles is a slow right hand bend and I stupidly stayed on the left side. I then started paying attention to where the course was headed and shortened the course as much as possible. Running on the speedway was brutally boring. So I went from nothing to 13.1 in 6 months. My wife and I are already making plans for next years mini. Thanks for all your help. I'm not running this week - will be hitting the bike a few times. Then I get on sprint training! One side note, my garmin and two other garmins showed the course at 13.24 miles. All three garmins - exactly the same. |

Champion 7163 Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! Hey Tony--I am digging the new avatar. Love the outfit! You are FAST, but I agree warming up is key. I bet you would have gotten your speed goal if you had done some time on the trainer first. Now you know! Rob--I guess they let Candanians travel to CUBA? Roni-great job getting out there. The key is having fun and then performance follows. You are putting things in the right order. Where the heck is Steve? and our biggest poster, Trevor?

Champion 9060 Charlottesville, Virginia | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! LOL, yeah steve I bet the TT suit would have gotten me over 23... I missed out on the clothing order and they didn't have any TT suits left over. That bottle never left the cage. I drank before I got on the bike, was dying because I was so uncomfortable on the bike. I asked a question over on ST if a proper fit should take some time to get used to or should it click right away. |

It is a different setup totally than a road bike. Even moving your seat up and down on any bike would change the way your legs worked? That is my guess anywho.... |

Sorry, no that was just straight water. Pretty sure I had taken enough calories in before the race to not need any on the bike since I wasn't running after. Dunno looking at my picture vs. what I see on ST as proper fit they are pretty close + my watts looked good and probably could have gone a bit faster if I wasn't uncomfortable. In my previous position on the bike I was obviously not as aero as I am in these pic's but I was more comfortable. Wondering if it just takes some time in this position to get used to it. |

Master 2436 Apex, north carolina | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! Hey guys and gals, RR is up. Reuben - half marathon. WAY TO GO! I hear ya bro' on progress with running. I am right there with ya. First we conquer the distance, then work on the speed. Steve - about time you got back slacker. I've had to wait a whole weekend to talk to you. (see PM) Funny but true story. (Yes, I haven't completely unpacked from the race this weekend)....so my dog got into my tri bag and ate all the open and unopened GU's that were in my fuel box. Not only are there stains on the floor, he ate my last supply of the Mint Chocolate GUs they only make at Chirstmas time! Then the dog had the nerve to fart all night long because of it! I should drag his butt out for a 6 mile run to make him earn all that fuel he ate!!!!! Edited by tahrens 2009-05-04 12:48 PM |
