THE SLAYER RULES-FULL Up (Page 45)

Sure let me see if we can open it back up with a fresh thread. I'll get with the site mods. Hope some of you will rejoin us.

EDIT: Note to add that we have to keep using this thread until they re-open the new ones. Post here what you are doing now, how your season went, what you would've done different, what your next season goals/races are, any updated questions you may have!

I'd like to come back for another year. This year i completed my 1st ironman. Was hoping to go long again next season,but after a chat with my partner at the weekend i will be focusing on 70.3's next year. 

This is down to the fact that we will be getting married next july and thought it a bit unfair from both a financial and a time point of view to be doing ironman. So the plan is to get faster and stronger next year ready for 2014.

New thread sounds like a good idea.

To recap, in my first complete Triathlon race I DNF, had a bike crash, and couldn't repair it. It was an olympic distance. I plan to concentrate on oly's and 70.3 for the next season. I am aware it's maybe smarter to finish some sprints before, but that's not me. My ambition is to do 70.3, and prepare accordingly.

Any suggestions for training program (the best you've done, heard of)?

preparing for the ING NYC Marathon in 10 weeks also.

Hi again kids!

Had a huge weekend: 22 mile run on Saturday, 63 mile run on Sunday.  Fast pace on Sunday with lots of climbing.  Was worried, since I'd only been on my bike once (less than 30 miles) since Vineman and it was 100 degrees.  Still just killed it.  Man, it felt good!

I'm also going to strongly suggest that everyone look into metabolic efficiency training.  I follow a paleo way of eating and I can't believe how freaking good I feel.  I'm down 15 pounds since Vineman, my endurance is through the roof and I'm stronger than ever before...also look much better in a bikini.  hahahaha

What's everyone else up to?

Wowza! well done Ashley. and holy smokes you are looking smoking in a bikini. keep up the great work!

im holding weight down but stress fractured my foot they thought but x-ray said no. no running but plenty of swimming and biking. looking at panama in feb. for a 70.3 crack at vegas. 

also developing my coaching website/program. check out the website so far!

Great job, hoale!!!!

Would love to hear your thoughts on the day.

I did a sprint last weekend and had an absolute blast.  It was fun to go hard and fast.  AND, my mom did it, too.  She's hooked and can't wait to do another.  

I have a 50K this weekend.  Not sure what to think about it, but I'm sure it will be interesting.  Other than that, I'm still drinking the CrossFit Kool-aid pretty seriously.  Here's a pic of my new deadlift PR: 175#!

Hi Everyone.

Not much happening here really struggling to get motivated. Only managed a handfull of training sessions since july. Getting into a rut and starting to get down about it. The weight is creeping back on. I entered a 70.3 for next june in the hope that would get my arse into gear but this hasn't happened.

From the high of finishing ironman uk back in july i am now very low.

Nobody here is going to be able to get your arse back in gear, but we are all after you to start punching the clock. What lit the fire for you before? For me it has been weight/health and competition with others. For others, its competition with self or a host of other reasons.

You really need to dig deep and figure out what you are doing this for. Go SILVERBACK, just a bit at a time and you will get some consistency going. The trend upward start with the first steps.

Sounds like a case of the post-IM blues.  Pretty common.  For me, doing things that are fun (5ks, weights, RAGNAR, whatever) really helped get my booty back in gear.  You've got this!

Pretty neat little article about me in the CrossFit Journal:

Not tri related, but it is totally helping my tri fitness, overall fitness and quality of life.

ooops, Look like I've signed up for a half IM!  

Outlaw half in Notts on the 2nd June. 

Hi Kate

I've also signed up for the half outlaw. The company who organise it put on really good events. So it should be fun. 

I have been taking a structured training break for a while now. I run when I feel like running, swim when I feel like swimming, and jump on my bike when I feel like riding. 

Of course I started to get the urge to get on a little more structured training program so I thought I would go off and sign up for an IM. 

So IMLOU 2013 will be my first go at it.

So now I am looking for an early season half to get a little motivation going, along with the infamous Hogpen Hill Climb that we seem to now ritualistically start our seasons off with. 11 miles uphill!
