SBR Utopia ---- Permanently OPEN!! (Page 43)

Welcome.  Post a short bio of yourself and jump right in the conversation.  Feel free to ask anything on your mind.  There are no rules here except we keep the discussion focused on swim, bike, and run.

Me 3!!!!!

Tomorrow it will be 45-50 or so.  I'll be out on the bike aiming for 2.5 hours or so.  Maybe a bit ez but that will depend on the hills.   

me uhhhh 4.  altho I can't blame winter, necessarily.  maybe vacation.   have 3 hours tomorrow

Welcome!

Matt

Tomorrow looks nice - was going to switch my run to Sunday, but have to take one kid in town for music and then have an interview in the afternoon, so I'll be running early tomorrow instead (although I thought long and hard about chancing a ride first thing, there will be copious black ice from today's mini-melt until about noon).

Gonna shoot for a ride OUTSIDE on Sunday mid-day.  Trying for 3 hours, which should be doable on the road bike if the weather is as forecast and life doesn't get in the way (mid-day workouts are tougher to stick to on the weekends than if I start when only the Better Half is awake!).

Chris - you too, huh (or, you four… whatever).

Sounds like the three of us should've hitched up with the power group!  Now Shane's doing a run group next… Man, did I get this all backwards.  

Matt

I too am supposed to have what should be a 3 hour ride on Sunday as well - I get in around 10pm Saturday night and if I feel up to it on Sunday then I will jump into the "a" group on one of our faster Morning rides. Tomorrow morning is an OWS And maybe a little beach time before heading for the airport,

When you have time do post your bio here. Some of the things that are helpful to know are:

1) what is your real first name? You will quickly note that this is not like other parts of the forum: this isn't an anonymous group.
2) what is your triathlon story: race history, how/why you got into the sport or perhaps why you are just now diving in.
3) Family status
4) what does your current training look like?
5) what (if any) races did you do last season?
6) what are your planned races this season?
7) what are your goals for this year?
8) what will make you a good member of the group?

And finally, being in Venezuela it will be extremely painful for you to have to listen to the Canadians constantly whining about the cold and snow. But don't worry - in about 4 more months when the snow finally melts they will start complaining about the heat and black flies. So enjoy this while it lasts - it gets worse..... ;^)

What's everyone up to this weekend?  

3 x 15' @ 100% on the trainer this morning and a 40' run this afternoon for me.

Nice!

I'll be heading outside soon for a bike then a run this evening.

EDIT

btw I think Adrienne is racing this weekend.

You know you could just ride your bike to the Beast then run it and ride back.  Just saying there is always a way to train.

Whoo-hoo! We all know how!!! Congratulations Salty, you are turning into a real beast.

1.5 hour OWS island circumnavigation in lovely blue Caribbean water. Mostly easy with lots of sea life watching, 15 minutes of torrential downpour (really cool) then glorious sunshine. Finished up with 20 minutes hard, 5 minutes recovery, then 20 minutes really hard. 4800 yards total. Never made it to the beast - I suppose I will have to come back in order to prove myself. Currently winging it to Miami, then on ATL to officially start spring break!

that sounds absolutely fantastic.  I was happy to be able to run in shorts today but this puts that to shame!

Woohoo!!  Nice!

It was a good day, I managed to pick a pair of my own!

First road race tomorrow.  Hopefully weather will cooperate and the rain will let up.  Very short race that's basically a 4.7 mile climb averaging 4% and a 2 mile flattish section going into the finish.  There is a sweeping right turn about 200 yards before the finish line, so just praying for dry roads at least at that corner...the rest of the course is pretty straight (point to point uphill) so it shouldn't be a problem.

Since the race is short (less than 8 miles / 30 minutes), I'm not sure how everything will play out.  Early attacks are certain, but it's just a matter of who responds.  I've got a general plan on what I'll do in various scenarios...but like Mike Tyson says... 

Nice job.......

I have a 10 miler planed for me tomorrow but may cut it to 8 depending on how I feel.  

Tease!
