Yanti & Lynn: Manatee Madness Mentor Group CLOSED (Page 47)

I might be a little late to the party, but BIG CONGRATS to you on the 10K and your PR. And, April 15th is a great day....gave birth to my son that day some 16-nearly 17 years ago.

Yanti, your bike is gorgeous.  

I took the plunge and signed up for Kansas 70.3!!!!  I really wanted to do a HIM this summer but needed to find the right time to do it.  Kansas fit in with the schedule.  I'm so exited.  Time for some serious training.  

NIce bike!

WOW everyone is kicking it.

Yanti- Awesome bike

Kate- That's awesome on your 10k time

Was in a funk last week and missed most of my training sessions but going to the pool as soon as I finish typing this to do a workout, actually going to do the drills suggested by "the plan" and a run tonight.  Later than I wanted to get going but the wife got a new job yesterday and so made her breakfast for when she got home from night shift, definitely worth a late training day.

Hope your swim went well and glad you're past your funk!

Also, I firmly believe that being a nice giver makes up for at least some training time. I have absolutely no proof of this, but I know it's true!

Giving always pays off 

Day 2 called for a 24minute run and the 48minute bike I didn't do yesterday.

The run time is actually shorter then my normal runs already. Not sure if I should just keep running my own "short" runs or stick with the program.  In any case I used this as an opprotunity to see if I could run my normal route in the time alotted. I didn't. Ha. Though I wasn't expecting to.  Did set a new training PR for me though.

Got on the new trainer at lunch.  GOOD GRIEF do these things suck!  I think I dislike this more than the dreadmill.  Necessary evil I guess (and I do mean evil).

Sweet! Actually you could just keep doing your runs until the plan 'catches up' ...

Good on you for getting on the "drainer." I put on DVDs and let my circus-head go to town ... the time passes by quicker than I think! I actually got 4.5 hours in last Saturday ... looking at 5 this weekend. Yikes!

Sorry, cant help you--never been to Utah, and I've never been snowboarding...Mainly due to my nasty habit of getting really hurt any time I set a toe into the snow!

I got a swim and run in tonight---both slow, but a decent amount of time and mileage on each. I can only hope my ankles/legs/feet will finally stop aching.

I did get some weight lifting in (kinda)--I moved a 50 pound snake out of her exhibit and into a tank situated above my head...the moving also involved standing, crouching, and nearly crawling through her exhibit. Friday, I get to tear down the exhibit--including (but not limited to) removing tree trunk sized limbs, tearing down a box attached to the wall 8 feet off the floor, and breaking some cemented in rocks off of a pool side. I do admit, this is one of my more favorite things to do at my job. I LOVE tearing down and building new exhibits! Its like making art and doing interior design for the animals.

You might not have the energy for a "workout" swim, but it might feel really nice to get into a warm pool and stretch things out! Great to look forward to a trip like that! Hope there's some fresh powder for you.

I actually started using audible.com and listen to audiobooks on the trainer, I'm a certified book geek bought the original kindle when it was first released, but it is an awesome way for me to get the ride in, I also use it for my commute to work so if I have a ride after work it helps because I want to continue listening

2 days 2 pool work outs, I forgot how much I enjoy swimming, now if I can get up to make it to masters swimming...

Long run and the rescheduled bike fit for me

I have no idea about a specific pool in Utah but I HAVE spent a LOT of time snowboarding. It kind of depends on your ability level and what kind of riding you are doing (backcountry? Heavy snow? Groomers?) but in general, I imagine you will be pretty wiped and won't really be able to do a quality workout. From what I understand there is no point in swimming if it's not quality since swimming is so technique-heavy. 

CONGRATS AND EXCITING NEWS!!!  Way to go..you will kick it in Melbourne!!  You will be awesome on the swim and with that sweet bike....all the better..and it's red, I hear RED = FAST!!  and the run...you can DO IT!! 

TO ANN-MARIE:

GOOD LUCK WITH THE GATORS!!!

oh, and the run too

Anyone else racing this weekend? What's everyone's plans?

I've got a 5-hour drainer ride on tap with some Z4 work thrown in here and there to simulate hills. *FUN FUN FUN*

Thank God for BONES reruns ... on DVD ...

Wow, platyfoot. Only took you 59 pages to figure that out

Hey everybody--this is Mike--the only person on BT with bigger feet (width ratio) than mine. Oh, and a Manatee of course.

I'm already well into Saturday!

Slowly trying to set my clock back, though (currently, as most of my life, I have been a vampire). Trying to be asleep before 2am.

Racing tomorrow...twice haha. Not tapering or anything. Just using it to see where I'm at.Z4? I forget what that is

That's right! You are going to be two-riffic!

Z4 ... Z4 ... Z4 is what happens when you have PACE BOOTY in front of you! Of course, if you were any slower, you'd actually know what that is. Heh.
