![]() | ![]() Have you all started (or finished) race planning for 2013? I was totally planning on running the rock 'n' roll Seattle in June but realized I won't have recovered from Boston and ramped training back up by then. So, I'm thinking about holding a really solid base (with lots of elevation/trail runs etc.) maybe running the half in June instead (also a tri or two maybe?) Climbing Rainier in July-ish then a fall marathon? Maybe Chicago? NY? Maybe something local? Ugh ... I dunno. I might want to run either of those once I am a little more competitive? Maybe not. Just thinking aloud. But feel free to chime in |

MUCH! FUN! PIGLET! Also, I'm counting stomping around on the dance floor for nearly a couple hours (in 5" half-boots, no less) as a run ... His name's Omar. He's also a British artist. Damn he put on a good show. Delicious! He was showing me pics of his twin daughters 'n' stuff before he went on to play. Where can I get me one of those? (Him, not his twin daughters.) |

(Him, not his twin daughters.) I'm always tempted to log a night out, too. For some reason I am always significantly more sore doing that than my regular training. I think you can get one of those just about anywhere. Why didn't you ask him????? Also, his twin daughters must be well under age. Otherwise your comment makes no sense to me. |

Yeah, they're 9 My quads and calves are killing me and I'm sure it's gonna be worse tomorrow. I've seen pics of you dancing and it looks kinda like what I do dancing ... I would've asked him but ... uh ... I figure I'll let my sister pimp for me since I'm pimpin' to give her stripper piglets. I got out of the pimpin' biz a while ago but now there's a huge demand for exotic male dancers (of many varieties) so I'm back in. I just submitted a drop-down list of my personal piglets and some choice ex-piglets to my sister |

I always settle down with BT around just before midnight to 1am or so ... and I last about an hour before I'm ready to pass out. This mega training thing, it sure makes you randomly pass out. Kinda like drinking a lot, but even more fun. Sorta ![]() |

I just submitted a drop-down list of my personal piglets and some choice ex-piglets to my sister A pimp for a pimp. You sound very thorough. I'm sure your sister appreciates that! I went to a male "exotic" club exactly one time in my life (I'm not counting a regular night out at the gay club, that's different) and it was, other than our group, completely empty. The guy on the stage was in a feathered headdress and set his d*** on fire, then we left. Shrugs. I guess the market has picked up. Sorry, am I aloud to even say any of this here? Wrong thread? |

It's about 6 weeks between. |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() My 'race' calendar (I use that term very loosely, I turn up and do it, I DO NOT RACE) 25 November 2012 Sprint or Mini Tri - first one of the season....haven't decided. Closes today! 20 January 2013 Auckland 70.3 24 March 2013 IM Melbourne!!!! 2 June 2013 Cairns 70.3 Who knows what else between now and March - may try and fit in an Oly in Feb. A couple of sprints and some OWS meets. I'm training hard people - punishing hour and a half Macca set last night on the drainer. Then up at 4.30 this morning for Sportoga.

I would also like to do a Rock N Roll HM, maybe Denver or Phoenix, or Vegas. Other than that it's up in the air. I'll probably pick an OLY or two and fill in with sprints as they appeal to me. So swim coach Jason is trying to drown me. Last Friday he had us kicking on our back with our hands straight up in the air in front of our face holding a pool buoy. WTH? It was all I could do to keep my face above water! Today we did it with one arm in the air, rotating from our back to our side with the arm staying up in the air. This was easier than Friday but I still don't get the purpose. What in the world is that all about? |

This was easier than Friday but I still don't get the purpose. What in the world is that all about? I would suggest it's to give you a core workout, to ensure you are maximising your core muscles to stay afloat and then when you use your stroke it's purely for propulsion..maybe?!!! Yanti is far better qualified for this one. We do insane drills like this all the time - I'm remarkably good at all the drills, it's normal swimming that foils me! I'm thinking of doing IM with Left Arm only - so good at that! |

I'm thinking of doing IM with Left Arm only - so good at that! That's funny! My biggest problem with the one-arm drills is that my kick is useless, so if I'm not pulling I'm not moving, so the one arm drills take me FOREVER to get across the pool. We also did the "triple-zipper-drill" which made me realize that I tend to get lazy with getting my left side up. Edited by rrrunner 2012-11-14 5:26 PM |

Due to all the complaints I'll bet it's going to be the smoothest running race ever this year, haha. I've done a couple of their events (Both Seattle and Portland half) and they were nicely run. Kind of a typical large scale race. Maybe you should do SEATTLE this summer!!! Why don't you ask your coach about the drills? I think that's the most important part about having a coach is asking them what a drill or workout is specifically supposed to be doing for you or what the goal is. |

Climbing Rainier in July-ish then a fall marathon? Maybe Chicago? NY? Maybe something local? Ugh ... I dunno. I might want to run either of those once I am a little more competitive? Maybe not. Just thinking aloud. But feel free to chime in The only race I have set for sure is Oceanside. I will probably do the Tri for the Cure in August that I do with my SIL. I would also like to do a Rock N Roll HM, maybe Denver or Phoenix, or Vegas. Other than that it's up in the air. I'll probably pick an OLY or two and fill in with sprints as they appeal to me. So swim coach Jason is trying to drown me. Last Friday he had us kicking on our back with our hands straight up in the air in front of our face holding a pool buoy. WTH? It was all I could do to keep my face above water! Today we did it with one arm in the air, rotating from our back to our side with the arm staying up in the air. This was easier than Friday but I still don't get the purpose. What in the world is that all about? My friend said R'n'R Vegas was a cluster-fudge last year. Due to all the complaints I'll bet it's going to be the smoothest running race ever this year, haha. I've done a couple of their events (Both Seattle and Portland half) and they were nicely run. Kind of a typical large scale race. Maybe you should do SEATTLE this summer!!! Why don't you ask your coach about the drills? I think that's the most important part about having a coach is asking them what a drill or workout is specifically supposed to be doing for you or what the goal is. I am forever asking my coach why I am doing a drill. If I don't understand it, I won't do it correctly! It helps me to know what I should be focusing on during the drill. Sometimes the focus is on not drowning.... |

I had some thought of doing the off road HM I did last February or maybe the ft lauderdale marathon, but since I'm not able to run right now, those are probably out.As far as triathlons go, I think I'll probably do the nautical south beach sprin in April and then we'll see.Have you all started (or finished) race planning for 2013? I was totally planning on running the rock 'n' roll Seattle in June but realized I won't have recovered from Boston and ramped training back up by then. So, I'm thinking about holding a really solid base (with lots of elevation/trail runs etc.) maybe running the half in June instead (also a tri or two maybe?)
