Both should be fun. I did last year's half in 2:10:40 (first ever half marathon) and would really like to go 1:55 this year. That's a huge difference, but I think it's possible. I've PR'd vulcan, my 5k time is down, I'm lighter, and I'm training smarter.... I just need to put the work in to get there. With your progression, you should be able to get there. I'll most likely be running the red nose run in January. I'm still not sure if I'm going to do the Mercedes or the New Orleans half in February. Yep - planning on the Red Nose Run and Mercedes Half. They changed the course for the Red Nose Run, BTW. Oh, and I sure hope the run is warmer this year. Last year was unreal - they managed to pick the coldest morning of the year. --- I'm not doing any big races, so it is the same old workout routines - until yesterday. Slight departure; I forgot my swimsuit yesterday. All I had in the bottom of my bag was my race jammers. Whoops - I guess it was time for a "fast day". When the race suit goes on the time for slow and steady goes out the window. I didn't do sprints, but did my workout at a very fast tempo pace. Since you guys get this stuff: 100yd: 1:05 200yd: 2:22 (1/2 second off of a PR. If I had known I was that close I'd have sprinted.) 500yd: 6:28 (Slow end of workout swim. Still pretty decent to end with). I'm filing that workout under "Slacking at swimming training but still evidently getting faster." Given sprints I think I could have come close to a 1 min. 100 and could have shattered that 2:22 200. Nice swimming! I doubt I could currently break 1:20/100y. |

I know I couldn't break that because I haven't been swimming! Unfortunately my logs are uptodate so it's obvious I haven't been in the pool for about 2 months now. I've been trying to get back in the pool and back out on my bike but all I can manage is running. It's not because of lack of time. I'm suffering from a pretty serious lack of motivation right now. I'm getting lazy with my eating habits and had to admit this morning that my weight is starting to creep up. My plan was to take a little time off after my race in September but it's definately gone beyond that. Anyone have a suggestions on how to get out of this rut? Edited by cornfed 2010-11-09 2:45 PM |

No it was more of an issue she couldn't leave until Thursday night and I wanted an extra day to hit the water and get the lay of the land before she got there. Really rev up now for this. |

When things start to cool down outside and it gets darker earlier, my motivation goes out the window. I'm having the same problem, but I'm working on it. Did nothing but run for a while, which is where i needed help, so it's working out okay. The time change has motivated me to get up early for the masters swim now and I've got my wife going to a swim clinic, so she's getting interested in the swim part. My power tap arrived on Monday, so I'm working on getting it ready for the trainer, which will hopefully motivate me to get to work on the trainer soon. I think you will know when your ready to get back in the pool. You just have to force yourself to go a couple of times and you can get back in a routine again. It also reminded me of how much better I feel after a morning swim, and it helps my joints relax from all the running. Swimming seems to be somewhat therapeutic to me, so that's some encouragement for me to keep going. |

Now showing 38 as a low and low 60's as a high. That's gonna be perfect. A mite bit chilly waiting to swim, but after that it should be great. Take your time in T1 and make sure to bring your arm warmers, leg warmers, shoe covers, full-fingered gloves, etc.. Looks like you'll need them. Your run should be in ideal conditions! I wish I had that instead of the 120+ heat index for my last tri. |

Lots of nervous energy so I went for ride around wrightsville beach? Was windy as hell. Hope that's outa here by Saturday. Other than the wind, weather is perfect. Got a full beach towel along with a long sleeve T shirt in the race bag, so that was cool. |
