Expert  1481   |  Subject: RE: kaburns1214 and UHCoog's Mentor Group-ClosedOriginally posted by jarvy01 Originally posted by everlong 2500 in the pool this morning. New 400 TT record of 5:44. If I ever work on flip turns I'd be interested to see what I could do. Awesome job! Yes, flip turns will give you speed, especially if you maintain good streamline form off the walls. Maybe in your off season you could work on these? I know some people disagree, but I think flip turns make you a better swimmer and I absolutely feel it translates to open water. Thanks. I am going to try to learn them this winter. I've been doing dolphin kick with fins to work on my core, build up the hips and work towards being able to use it off the flip turns. |

So with the flat courses I have, should I switch to 11-23 from 11-28? What do you currently have? Is that what came with your Felt? Sadly I have no idea what my setup is. The LBS (Brian from Fast Splits) set it up for me and I rolled with it. If I do something hilly I'm going to have to look at going with something different as the lowest gear won't be enough. |

Some rides I just can't find that 'perfect' gear. Originally posted by kidtri33 Originally posted by kaburns1214 I have 11-28 with 50/34 up front I should add.

Just stick Ultegra with Ultegra? That should work fine. I'm jealous of your racing this weekend, by the way. I had so much fun at Columbia that I sort of wish I had signed up for Jamestown myself, now. My wife probably would've frowned at me, though... |

Regular 211 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 and UHCoog's Mentor Group-Closed I think my sweetie is going to give me a hall pass to ride Saturday morning. Would any of you DC/MoCo/NoVA area folks like to try to meet up and ride together? In the interest of finding a sort-of central location, I know a good route that starts at the Marshall Park & Ride off I-66 west of DC. The route is 56 miles through VA horse country, mostly rollers, but it has one big, tough hill in the middle, and then one medium-sized tough hill at about 3/4 of the way. I'm thinking we'd go pretty early, probably rolling out at around 8:00 or 8:30. Larkin's racing so I know he's out (sorry man - we'll get you out again), but any of you other fine folks interested/available? Disclaimer - I might get my hall pass rescinded if it rains (complicated - has to do with the kids' Saturday school - don't ask). |

Speaking of Brian from Fast Splits -- he keeps sending me e-mails about purchasing Cavendish's Venge McLauren. Not nice at all. |

If I didn't have my mini sprint on Sunday morning I'd definitely be up for this. After this weekend, my next sprint isn't until July 28th so we can definitely try and squeeze something in if you get another hall pass. |

Veteran 580 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 and UHCoog's Mentor Group-Closed Originally posted by tdl1972 Originally posted by ccmpsyd Light week this week before race on Sunday. 1 hour ride outside (yeah) this AM. I rode with new pedals and new shoes (carbon Tri Fly IV). They felt great but because they are ventilated my toes were really cold, numb. It is in the low 50s upper 40s this AM. They actually hurt for a bit in the shower. I arrived back at the house to hear the chickens going insane. I went to the back to check on them and lo and behold a fox was sitting in the back yard with a fresh kill. I first thought it was a chicken so I start hollering and running at it. It scurried off. Was not a chicken. The animal was a bird (all I saw from the remains were some feathers), it was a big-ish with orange-ish feathers. The fox took it back to the woods. I have no idea what kind of bird it could be. I doubt very highly that it was a hawk, owl or turkey. Any ideas? For some reason I am trying to reply to the Big Bird...but it is not showing up....anyway...that was funny Edited by ccmpsyd 2013-06-05 7:12 PM |

Veteran 580 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 and UHCoog's Mentor Group-Closed So I feel like Forest Gump. I have been running on a pretty heavy stability shoe for the past several years. Recently purchased some Pearl Izumi ISO Transition shoes....to be worn sockless. Boy did they feel different. My left foot has kind of been sore since a long run the other week and I have been resting it for my race this weekend so I was sort of apprehensive about how my run would go tonight, especially with the new shoes. I had a 35 minn run with the first mile at a Z2 pace. 1st Mile was at 6:54...I felt light and could have easily kept up the pace. It was like when Forest Gump took off running and his leg braces flew off him. Pretty excited to see how my run goes this weekend during the race. |

Master 1832 Elgin, IL | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 and UHCoog's Mentor Group-Closed Thanks for sharing! That was an incredibly honest blog and I am sure hard to put out there publicly. However, I would not call you fat, but being thre myself in the weight issues, I understnsd that is how you feel. Keep working on it, keep trying to find answers, but take this away .... You are incredibly fast for a triathlete and dedicated to meet your Kona goal! You are a hell of an inspiration to a hell of lot of people with your accomplishments and your discipline to the sport! |

I am going to use that as my Mantra during training and races...Run Forest Run... I have actually been running without socks for a while, so no ii was not difficult. The Transition shoes are meant, however, to be worn sockless. |

To add to this, you characterized your situation as a failure, but I don't think that's accurate, any more than getting in a car accident or catching the flu is a failure. "Frustrating" doesn't even begin to describe it, I'm sure, but it isn't a failure. Based on what you've written, I think the endocrinologist and/or the psychologist are probably the right call - you've done too much in the standard "eat less and exercise" arena for that to be the issue. As Carrie said, keep searching for the answer. I know you'll find it. As much as you've supported us, I think (hope) you know you can count on this group for support.

Extreme Veteran 3020 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 and UHCoog's Mentor Group-Closed I had a rough swim this morning. I just wasn't hitting my intervals. I got out of the pool feeling a lot looser than when I got in so that's a good thing. A MASSIVE black spider floated up from the depths of the pool onto my kick board. I freaked out. Most paranoid swim ever.....watching for other spiders in the pool and also keeping an eye on the one I flicked out. I just don't care for creepy crawlers or creatures of the night. In other news I'm on groin sprain watch. Yesterday it felt a little iffy after my long run. Coach cut out the rest of the runs for the week. I hope that rids me of this problem quickly. Good thing is that it feels better today! |

It is difficult to share such a personal struggle, and I'm proud of you for putting yourself out there. |

So at my 9 to 5 job I have 9 vacation days that I have to use by the first week of July or I lose them. I didn't realize this until HR (Cindy) pointed it out. So I talked to my boss and I have every Friday for the rest of the month off and 2 Thursdays. Sweet!!! |

I'm at my vacation cap as it is so I'm not accruing any leave at this point. With the amount of hours I work even when I take off for a track event (I work part time for a car road racing organization), I don't have to charge leave because I've already work more than sufficient hours to cover the time off. I don't even want to think about how much $$ I donate to the company by not using my leave, and my discretionary time off that I lose every year. |

Member 216 Haymarket, VA | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 and UHCoog's Mentor Group-Closed ~1000m in the pool with the Master's this morning. Starting to feel more comfortable without the snorkel. I'm still rushing when I start to feel as if I'm not getting enough air and really have to work to reign myself in and slow it down. When I really concentrate on extending and form I'm actually only slightly slower than with the snorkel.
Definitely ditching the snorkel for this weekend's mini sprint. 1) it's only 250m 2) it's at the same pool my Master's is at, and they have practice that morning so the coach would give me crap about it. 3) I'm feeling comfortable enough to do so |
