ESCKTC Group Training - Wed afternoon Ride/ Run thread (Page 4)

I may just ride around Las Sendas and that other neighborhood until 6 when I can meet up with you guys.  I am not sure my first time on my bike in months and months should be going down that hill on Power.  Also, I am kind of nervous about my bike being unhappy with being left in the garage for so long.  I have no idea what shape the chain is in, or tires, etc.....I think I should stay close to base just in case.  So if I don't see anyone, just know I will be back at 6 for da food!

Tanya, I am doing intervals and can do them inside Red Mountain Ranch if you want to find me in there...I was thinking of doing this:

Bike: 4 x 2 - 3 mile hill repeats holding fastest possible pace and not deviating more than 1 min per repeat. Recoveries are how long it takes you to come down the hill. If you do not have a hill then use tension on a trainer or ergometer with steady tension.

Not sure if Red Mountian is a 2-3 mile Hill maybe Las Sendas is...lemme check.

On second thought Las Sendas may be best, at least Jer is running in there! :p

tecnical difficulties with the quote button

I am good with either.  My goal is to just do hills to get some blood pumping to my calf muscle, and to secondarily not stroke out.  SO....if we just want to do the Las Sendas 5mile loop that would be cool.  That way Jerry will have some pace booty to yell at as we zoom past him! I am sure he would appreciate that!!!  Will you be going counter clockwise then?

I'll be going Clockwise (Up Usery) then up Hawes and through Las Sendas. For a 2-3 mile climb (which is long) You would have to start at the bottom of Las Sendas and ride to the rotary at the top. After 4 times doing that you will have wished you just did a loop of Usery with me

BUT....the Las Sendas road don't shake my fillings out! :-)

Good Point!

Good point...I am going to head out with the group, see how the first little climb feels on my knee it its okay I will probably continue with the group, if not Tanya you will see me in Las Sendas looping clockwise.

Great training today Jen, Tanya, Josh, Chris and myself hit up a loop of Usery. The light was fading fast as Tanya flatted on Usery hill but we made it back just in time. Just waiting for the days to get longer now. Jerry hit up the actual Las Sendas loop run and managed to avoid the 202. Rocky showed up a bit late but still rode to the 4 way stop and back.

Afterward we hit up Barro's for some good pizza and fun times. Jen managed to fully convey the Strip Bowling business venture while Chris tried to steal pizza from the other restaurant patrons. Good times, looking forward to next week.

It was great! Being able to train and hang out with everybody again was just what I needed. I can't wait to get to do this more often!

Wednesday Jan 28

I dont know the route, I'll leave that to better skilled route planners.

BUT I wanted to post that I am bringing my body fat calipers at the request of Blue Hawaii. SO...this week will be:

Ride/ Run, Eat, Body Fat testing for anyone interested!

Is John coming??? Tell John I love him...

Our Aussie friend Auquaboy11 is going to be back in town, but not until Thursday! Boo!  He is missing us by 1 day.

I think I could switch to Thurs...

Can others?

I could....but he most like would have to run (no bike with him).....and Jerry will not be there to run. I can't run, so I would hate for him to be toddling around on his own out there.  I am waiting for him to respond to my PM to determine if Thursday is his ONLY option for hooking up with us.  I know he is in Tucson on Wed.

WEEEELLLL -

Who is planning on coming tomorrow?

I can technically do both...

I will come out on Wed if there is enough people to make it a date. 

Josh and I are in...

I think we will do something similar to the Sunday ride. Red Mountain and Las Sendas?

What say ye?



RARRRRRRR
