SWBKRUN -CLOSED DUE TO TRAINING (Page 46)

While many of us our in the deep freeze, a few of us might be racing, right?  So, who is braving the elements?  Details people!

And time for some deep thoughts,  what one thing are you going to differently in '12?  Could be tri related, but maybe not.  Think!

Man up people.  We have three HIMs in Wisconsin mid July-mid August. Heat Index was like 190F for Racine last year and neither Dino or I completely melted!

I think I came close.  Hope to never have to dump out my shoes at the end of run again!!

No racing for me, but I am volunteering at the indoor marathon for a couple of hours on Sat AM which will be fun.  

Jack Handey I am not, so no deep thoughts from me. I am just trying to keep it fun and healthy for another year.

No racing for me for quite some time.

Muddy Buddy just announced their 2012 race schedule...rather late.  Cut it from 16 locations/races last year to only 8 this year.  Wonder what that means.  Luckily Atlanta made the cut.  Anyone want to get dirty in Atlanta in June?   

I know...I know....

I'm 30 days and 50+ pages late but can I crawl back in.....even as a part-timer in the group?  Please, Please, PRETTY Please???

I am doing a little training, at least some running, and this looks to be an awesome year.

Hope it is OK to jump back in, otherwise I'll continue to lurk....I'll look for an OK from Steve, or Linda, or Suzy....and I frankly don't give a d@mn what John thinks  

Thanks

Steve

Sorry, a bit late, I get most of my BT in at work and work has been really busy lately.

Looks pretty slick.  Kind of like the erg video's.  Very cool you can turn your computer into a power meter head unit. 

You do need some sort of ANT+ hardware to broadcast, so for HR you need a Garmin. 

If you want to do power a'la computrainer you need one of the listed trainers, they have 120 listed but 56 are beta and 2 are listed as (Don't Use).  Also to make sure you're comparing apples/apples between workouts you need to make sure you always have the tension and tire pressure the same.

I think paired with a power meter for power based workouts or Garmin for HR based workouts it looks like it could provide some great data to look at.  Also looks like a well thought out program. 

This software looks miles ahead of the racermate software for the Computrainer, which hasn't been updated in something like 10 years.

The biggest thing the computrainer has over this is the fact that you can create workouts like the ones listed here (not as easily though) and the Computainer changes the resistance for you, harder going up hills, easier going down hills, where this would mean you have to make sure your trainer gets harder when the watts go up in the program.

If it's something on your trainer you have to manually do, it could be tough for intervals to keep changing the resistance back and forth.

I do like that everyone is using ant+, means us programming hacks can write our own software to recieve the data and make cool software like this.

Oh and creating a search for computrainers is pretty easy.  If you have a google account, go to their alerts and create an alert that e-mails you as it happens.  Enter the search terms +craigslist.org +computrainer.

You should get an e-mail everytime google index's a page with those terms, you'll get some false positives but it's pretty accurate.

No racing. I'm down with Dino -- keep it healthy and fun and it's all good. I've done a stellar job this fall/winter staying flexible and training with friends whenever possible. Fully intend to keep that up. (That's what she said.)

My Doug and I have some triathlete friends that recently moved to Boulder CO.   He was a college swimmer (who would usually beat the pros out of the water) and she is a pro triathlete so we were kidding them that the cause for Chrissie Wellington's time off was to coach them.  Check out his response!!!! 

FU OLD MAN!

Awesomely embarrasing!

No racing, not in our deepfreeze right now. But not that the basement is ready to rock, I am getting my 'area' set up. Will get a trainer ride in if it kills me.

Deep thoughts- I really want/need to take my nutrition a little more seriously. Ramping up last year for IMC, I had a great build to it. But have wondered alot, ' what if I was 10lbs lighter?' So that is my goal this year. I want to be 10lbs lighter this year at the end of August.

Pics, please!

Good luck Rachel on your trail race! No racing for me this week. I'm on the healthy and fun plan for '12, too, especially more training and racing with friends.
