April Multisport Challenge - Crazy Canucks (Page 4)

I'm in a bit of trouble with my swimming. Pool was closed last week and will most likely be closed for the remainder of the week. I still have about 8 swim hrs. to go this month, and pool access down here is a complicated issue. I'm sure I'll figure something out even if it means swimming twice a day once the pool opens (my swimming sucks anyways).

I was surfing the web yesterday looking at country stats and stuff like that (I'm moving to Australia next year) and was very pleased to find Canada ranked consistently among the top 5 countries in the world in most categories! Inhabited by people like you guys, no wonder Canada is such an amazing country.

GO CANUCKS!!!!!

So I went for a short run yesterday and my toe felt pretty good, so it looks like I'm going to be clear for training without any problems.  I sat down last night and revisted the last half of my planned training for the month such that I finish my goals in all of the areas.  I think that I can still make it but it's going to be by only a minute or 2 in each sport. 

Right now I'm sitting at:

Swim - 44%
Bike - 58%
Run - 51%

sooo how is everyone doing??

I think I am still lagging behind a bit dispite some good sessions this week.  Gonna try to keep this pace up right until then end of the month.  Saturday is my last day of work and then I'll have all kinds of time to train.. in between packing and moving that is  

Global, hows the toe/foot doing?

I'm in better shape than I realized, with respect to my goals:

Swim = 97%

Bike = 56%

Run = 100%+

I've had a bit of an adjustment moving outside with my bike.  On the trainer I could ride after the kids were in bed, at 4:30AM, whenever...now, daylight factors into the picture and it's a bit more challenging.  If the weather holds, I will get in a long ride Saturday, and then let's hope it REALLY holds for my 62 mile next Sunday.  If it turns icky, I will be back on the trainer for sure to meet my goal!

Kris,

Way to show them what us Minnesotans are made of...um, I mean...go Canucks...

*cough* Go Northeast!!!

Sounds like we are all in the same boat.  My main threat this month is my run.. no surprise there.  Its my least favourite.  Lets just keep working towards our goals and see how far we can get.  Go team!

WHAT BOAT?!

SWIM= 90 SOMETHING% AND FINISHING TONITE EVEN THOUGH  IT'S NOT SCHEDULE! 

BIKE = DONE

RUN = DONE

AS OF 20:00 TONITE ANOTHER CHALLENGE TAKEN CARE OF! IF THIS CAN INSPIRE SOME OF YOU!

GET OUT THERE AND TRAIN! TRAIN! TRAIN!

GOOD LUCK ALL AND BE SAFE.

JAMES

Hey people,

As of right now it's going to be close for me.  I set my goal based on my month training load and this toe thing has really thrown me off.  I made up a revised plan to try and make lost time, but I've missed a lot of running and I don't want to push it because I want the toe to feel ok for the my first race on Sun.  I'm pretty sure that I'll make the bike and swim goals but the run is going to be close.  I'll give it everything I got, short of forcing an injury upon my self.  

Cheers

with math not being my strong point this is what I figure I have left to accomplish

Swim: 93 mins

Run: 55 mins

Bike: 240 mins

The swim and run I will get done with out any problems.  The bike, on the other hand, might cause me some trouble.  I still have 4 hours left to do.. thats a lot of time in the saddle for me.  I guess I'll just try to do 2 x 1.5 hours early on in the week and then finish up whats left towards the end of the week.  I'll do 2 x 20mins running with my 5km on Sunday and that will get me over 100%.  Swimming I'll get done over 3 workouts, maybe 2 if I am feeling good.  Sheesh, this challenge stuff is really helping to keep me on track.  Its getting to be crunch time team, lets do this!
