Kati's MOMMA training group - Closed (Page 4)

I love the pyramid sets.  When you are working at that hard speed pace you will tend not to glide at the top of your stroke, it is more like a full extention, then straight into the pre-catch (first few inches of the pull preping for the catch phase) and then into the catch.  I only kick when I am going fast - not such a bad thing at all.  I like the incentive not to get eaten by the machine!

Ab strength makes mile 80 on the bike a WHOLE lot more pleasent.  Even if you are a beginner, ab strength will make a big difference when you try to hold your wobbly body up when you begin your run.

Thanks for making the list Don!  I had that on my list to do today, then the local pool called to ask me to get thier tri training program ready to advertise before I go to Costa Rica in 4 days - AAAH!  Speaking of which, I don't know if I'll have web access while in Costa Rica, so I leave you in Don and Steve's capable hands if that is o-k with them.   I'll be back after 1 short week of sun and fun : )

I got a new toy for Christmas and the group inspiried me to get working with it and post a video.  I have put it on my profile but it is pending, if you want to see now go to www.glutenfreetri.blogspot.com  I did an underwater (how cool is that) video of my swim stroke.  Made me realize a few things about my stroke that I was not feeling.   So, again, I encourage you, even if it's a someone taping from dry land - to tape your stroke and take a look.  Bummer is that you are never as fast as you feel : )

Wow, it's a busy time!  Robin - 2 sets of twins?!  Wow, I am not sure what to say except good luck!  I hope you get your run in!

Josh -I love Gluten Free Girl!  One of my sponsors, First Endurance, does gluten free programs even for those w/o gluten sensitivity/celiac.  Apparently lots of professional athletes use a gluten free diet seasonally to improve performance.  I don't think it makes me faster, but I get so sick when I eat it it's just something I have to do!  There's so much out there now w/ blogs etc. that it is much easier now than it was 5 years ago!

Christina - my brother and sister in law are in Chicagoland too!  They are in Park Ridge - I don't know how you guys stand the constant cold and snow.  Brrrrrr.   Hopefully today is going better and the workout will get done!

O-k guys, I didn't want to do it, it was colllllllld and I was feeling cruddy, but knowing I was accountable to you guys got me up and moving!   Got my run in - did you?!

Is there a list of what everbody is training for? Like a list with their first TRI of the year and the date and location. That would be nice to see.

I didn't run or ride yesterday, 6pm conf call went until 8:30 and I was spent from 5 hours on conf calls.  Went home and ate then bedtime early.

Good idea on the race lists, here's mine. Bunch of run races on tap for the first half of this year. I might add in a mid (during vacation) or late season Sprint but will see how it goes.  There is a rumor of a FL Sprint race series coming to town sometime this year but nothing confirmed yet.

2010 Planned Events:

• Melbourne FL, Feb 7th - Melbourne FL 1/2 Marathon (R)
• Melbourne FL, Feb 27th - Eye Of The Dragon 10k
• Melbourne FL, April 10th - Space Walk of Fame 8k
  
• Melbourne FL, June 6th - Pineappleman Sprint - A-race (R) Melbourne FL
• Utica NY, July 11th - Boilermaker 15k
• Oct ? - HF Olympic Melbourne FL, or Amelia Island HIM Fernandina Beach, FL

Wow, sounds like quite a day! How did the dreadmill run go?  Those pm workout kill me.

My first big race of the season will be the REV3 Knoxville Olympic.  I love the list - thanks for doing it!
