Tri/tbay group - CLOSED (Page 4)

Thanks guys for your info on body fat % and fitness. Good info. Well what does everybody have planned for training this weekend.

For me pretty good weekend: Saturday 5 mile run and a 2000yd. swim, Sunday 25-35 mile bike, kind of depends of the cold front passing through this weekend. But on Saturday PM I go and get fitted on the new tri bike. 2010 BLUE Triad SP looking forward to that.

Let's see what's on your plan.

This Weekends Training:

Saturday:
7:30AM .... 8Mile Run with my local running club (Annapolis Striders) - I hope to be able to walk up and down the stairs afterwards.... temperature is going to be pretty darn cold as well.... high for tomorrow is supposed to be 25

Sunday:
Xtra Credit Swim Workout - early am (I am expecting somewhere between 2000 and 2500 yards for the workout)
60- minute Spin Class @ local gym

On a fun note, my wife and I are actually going to be able to go out to dinner Saturday night in DC like real adults with no kids.... (I cant remember the last time that happened)

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.

Saturday, I will finally get to ride the new bike on the road ( if ice is melted), shooting for 1.5hr.

Sunday, last of recovery runs for this cycle ~20min.

Good Morning and a Happy Monday to the tri/tbay group. I hope the weather was cooperative where you are and you all or Ya'll had a great weekend. I met my planned workouts for the weekend, got in a ride on the new bike yesterday. A couple of little tweeks for riding and I should be set.

 I know Brian got out on his new bike and he likes it. Let us know how your weekend went. 

Hey Sean and Brian good to hear from you. Sean i saw your dad last Thursday he mentioned you had spoke to him. There is a lot of flu going around this area, alot of my swim kids have sick and some parents too. Hope it goes away soon. I'll get a picture of the bike soon. We should get Brian to show us his new ride as well. Maybe we should have our own group version of show me your ride. What do you think.

Brian, hmmmm. I have a little miniscus tenderness from a lot of years of golf. Fortunately isn't doesn't impair the running and riding. And a few times if it does flair up it responds well to ice like yours. So you did the right thing for sure. When you get your pedals and shoes they might be able to see if you have a pedaling imbalance that might be causing your pain. It appears the riding is when the soreness shows itself? I'll go ahead and warn you now, you will fall down fogetting to unclip. It's OK happens to everybody. The first time I did it I was going at least 1mph and fell over right in front of some people on a walk, they just looked at me and kept going. Didn't even bother to ask if I was OK. The old Pride took a hit on that one.

Ola' hope everyone had a great Monday. Vin, if you go to my log and friends section that is everyone who I've heard from with the exception to my buddy in the Sombraro. You can use that. Probably a good call on the 9degree run doesn't sound like it would have been any fun. How are your legs feeling, have you been able to locate some of the sore areas and begun to get them massaged out. I'll get a pic of the bike and post it, might do the bike porn thing on the main forum. Always wanted to do that.

Good chance for rain later today in Central Fl. might put a halt to the afternoon swim, we'll see.

Vin you got to get that bike on the trainer, clear a spot get a fan and have at it.

The registration for the sprint this spring finally opened and I have registered for my first triathlon.

I had a good run this morning and an excellent swim in the afternoon.

And here is the new ride.

Happy training,

Brian

Thanks for the pic Brian, I like. It is going to serve you well. The best incentive in getting going is to do what you have done, register for an event. You now have a definite timeline for your training and a great opportunity to explore a new sport. You are going to have blast. Did you sign up as a novice/first timer or within your agegroup. Not a big deal really its just a category to allow first timers to compete in their own division for that race.

Well, the beginning of this week has been extremely frustrating.  After receiving the all clear 2 weeks ago to start working out (arm injury) I was planning in hitting my workouts full throttle, but little I knew that there would be another curveball.

I had to cancel my scheduled Sunday ride and I haven’t been able to work out since Saturday due to my wisdom teeth.  They started to hurt like hell all of the sudden and my dentist cannot do anything about it until next week.

Find myself wondering what’s next, and if I will be able to have more than 2 workouts in a row without something going wrong.

Vent over…………….

Hope you guys are having a good week….

My first event ever was done on a $200.00 bike, so don't worry about what you are riding. You have a quality bike and can certainly be competitive. But you will see some nice bikes when you go to your first event. This is my 4th bike, the last two are tri bikes and I have a road bike. I wouldn't change what you are doing since your "A" race is in June, use this as a training day. How many weeks in front of your Oly is this. If it's an April - May race no problem. No recovery issues and it will be a good practice run for going forward. I jinxed myself the other day when we were discussing your knee. I ran Monday afternoon, and my right knee has been sore since. Iced last night and it feels better, not sure why it decided to flare up.

Yuset sorry to hear your training is getting off to a slow start, get those teeth taken care of and you'll be good to go. I agree with you on the Gym, go where your comfortable and you feel like you can accomplish what you need to on any given day.

Lindsay glad that your workout went well, get in the water as much as you can so your comfort level will increase. The Masters program that you mentioned, do you know how competitive of a group they have. By competitive I mean former swimmers still competiting, or is it mostly fitness swimming and hopefully some triathletes. You might check on that and see if they have a tri group that uses a different workout that is geared more towards what we do.

Good Morning, I hope everyone has/is having a productive week of activities both work and play. My knee area is feeling much better. Still not sure what happened, and it wasn't so much the knee but the connective tissue on the inside of the knee was rubbing on the bone which made is very painfull for a couple of days. Still one good sore spot, but I've about got that worked out. This one's a first. I've got a pretty normal weekend of training planned, Saturday swim/run then on Sunday bike. The weather looks like its going to be pretty good. Looking forward to it.
