Or you could spend a ton of money and move to San Diego where it's been 70 during the day and a chilly 50 at night. Yes ... feel free to flog me as necessary. I'm a little chilly, I think I may go put on a sweater



And they have In-N-Out Burger!... However, I'll take the cold, the heat, and hurricanes... you keep the Earthquakes!  Been through a few (a 7.0 & 6.8 in the Hi-Desert & Palm Springs area)...Nope, you can have it!  No warning, just shake your fillings loose!  But a double-double, with cheese... like heaven!


I've learnt that Tucson has 3 In-N-Out Burgers.  And it is earm.  And no earthquakes that I know of.  Nor hurricanes I believe.  Just saying


Tru Dat.... & it's purrtttyyy there too!  Looked into Tucson, Flagstaff & a few other destinations out that way several years ago.  We were looking at relocating closer to my wife's family is Southern California, without moving to So. Cal.     Then I came to my senses... Ha!  not really, wife had back surgery and that changes many things at that time.  Maybe in 6+ years when I am pension eligible.

Happy Monday morning to you all!

Looks like everyone had a pretty sucessful weekend.  A few first of the season workouts for some of us.  For me it was getting back into the saddle again.  The bike had been neglect since August...that was the last tri of last years season.  Besides the feet going numb from the cold it felt good.

Looking forward to another good week of workouts.

C'mon Stephen... you can join our group!  Jealousy leads to stress, and you're too young to have stress.  Stress will cause you to slow...     Wait a minute... on second thought... keep being jealous & stress harder... gives us OLDER slower guys a chance to keep up!

hippotude - 2010-01-09 3:23 PM Also, I think Tif and I are going to break down and get a trainner.  Does anyone have suggestions for where we might find one that will not set up back to much?


The fluid trainers are smoother than mag trainers... and both are quieter than the wind trainer.  Craigslist is great... just gotta keep an eye out.  A new fluid will set ya back 2-300.

Stuck in meetings all AM, blah! Here's a speed workout for everyone, I'm going to switch up the types as we go along so you can get an idea of what each type of workout should be like...
Speed WO (1700 or 2200)
WU: 1x200 swim
WU: 1x200 sidekick/swim 50
WU: 8x25 15" rest (evens - fast / odds - easy)
Main: Repeat 2 times (1700) or 3 times (2200)
Main: 2x25 10" rest (1 easy / 1 fast)
Main: 2x50 20" rest (1 easy / 1 fast)
Main: 2x75 30" rest (1 easy / 1 fast)
Main: 2x100 45" rest (1 easy / 1 fast)
Main: Rest 1'
WD: 1x100 easy
For the fast, try to keep the stroke count low... you don't swim fast by pulling fast you swim fast by pulling strong. Difference between my all out sprint turn over and 1 mile turn over is around 1-2 strokes per length.

Evondo (or anyone else who knows the answer),

As a new swimmer would this work out benefit me (your speed workout) or should I still just work on my stroke and being effective at this point?

Today is my off day but I think I may swim today to get an extra swim work out in this week. Below is the work out I was going to follow? Should I scrap this one and follow yours?

Warm up

2 x 100m Any Stroke (even pace), rest 0:20 / 100m
 Swim your choice of stroke at a steady pace.

Build up (repeat 8 times)

1 x 25m Long Dog, rest 0:10 / 25m
 Arms pull under water, completing the propulsion phase of the Freestyle stroke. Hands return to the start position under the water. Hold your head in a Freestyle position.
1 x 25m Single Arm (arm by side) 6 x left, 6 x right, 6 x full stroke, rest 0:10 / 25m
 Freestyle using one arm at a time, focusing on shoulder and hip rotation. Complete 6 arm strokes with the left arm followed by 6 strokes with the right arm. The non-stroking arm is held loosely by your side.

Core

4 x 100m Freestyle Swim, leave on 02:10 / 100m
 Freestyle swim, starting every 100m set on the defined time period. The departure time combines your swimming target time and rest time, so the faster you go the more rest you will have. Conversely, the slower you swim, the less rest time you will have.
4 x 100m Freestyle Swim, leave on 02:05 / 100m
 Freestyle swim, starting every 100m set on the defined time period. The departure time combines your swimming target time and rest time, so the faster you go the more rest you will have. Conversely, the slower you swim, the less rest time you will have.
8 x 50m Freestyle Swim, leave on 01:06 / 50m
 Freestyle swim, starting every 50m set on the defined time period. The departure time combines your swimming target time and rest time, so the faster you go the more rest you will have. Conversely, the slower you swim, the less rest time you will have.

Warm down

4 x 50m Easy Any Stroke, rest 0:15 / 50m
 Swim your choice of stroke, at a slow, relaxed pace.

If you have seen Ken's recent log you'll know I am not going to do the half.

We have great friends who now live in CT, he is one of Ken's best friends and she is one of mine.  She was present at the birth of my last two children and I was there when her daughter was born (we are both homebirthers), our children are great friends.  Stephanie is pregnant with #4 and due in March but has received news that this baby will not be able to live outside the womb.
Her husband is flying some friends to be with her in CT next weekend.  We will do a Mother's Blessing for her (we have all done these for each other in the past) but of course this one will be more difficult.  They have chosen to continue carrying the child until God decides when she should be born.  We will all be celebrating Amelia Rose and grieving her at the same time.  I would appreciate any thoughts and or prayers you could send our way.

This won't be easy.  I don't like being away from Ken and my own children and obviously I will miss the half but I know my place is with her, there will be other halfs.

So if you guys could keep track of Ken and help him maintain his sanity while I am gone and check on him after the race I would really appreciate it.

Oh Keri - I am so sorry to hear about your friend.  I can't imagine what that must be like for a mother.  I am sure she really really appreciates you being there for her.  You are without a doubt making a wise decision being there.  You can do a half anytime.

Will be sending prayers your way (and Ken's).

My usual Monday morning routine is getting up at 6 AM then heading down stairs to make coffee and let the dogs out. I make my way up stairs to get the boys ready for school and by the time they leave, I have already had three to four cups of coffee. I made myself an egg sandwich this morning (1 whole egg and about seven egg whites on a 9 grain bread). At 10:00 I was in the basement pushing play. I pushed hard on all of the exercises and found out I have lost a lot of the strength. I struggled through some of the push up routines which in the past I have cranked the numbers like drinking water. Arms were shaking and the DNA was coming off in buckets. P90X Chest & Back & Ab-Ripper X this morning and after a few errands in the morning and early afternoon, I went for a short run. I averaged 9m02 seconds for the 7.11 miles and was able to run under 9m/mile the last two. I will be heading to bed early tonight, I am TIRED!

WOW! I am not sure if I am more impressed by the 7 egg white sandwich or the P90X workout. I have done the Ab Ripper X workout & that is a true blue ab/core burning workout, so I am sure the others are just as challenging. Great job knocking it out & then gettin' in a run later. Good Training day!
