bcraht - 2012-08-15 2:17 PM Run at lunchtime or run after work?  Please make my decision for me.

It's hot. Do you have access to showers? Also, what time would after work be? I might be even hotter then. 

This is my dilemma.  I do have access to shower.  After work would be about 4:30.

My vote is go now unless you can run after about 6:00

Perhaps 16 May 2016

*never been cuffed*? And what do the po-po got to do with that?

bcraht - 2012-08-15 1:03 PM Time to buy a new helmet Salty??

HAHA!!! Yes.

Well, I have a more casual Bern helmet that I use for commuting. It's great but not the most aerodynamic piece of equipment. 

But my road/tri helmet is a joke. I bought it when I went to Australia like-geeze 8 years ago??? Anyway, pieces are falling off left and right. The visor is currently rigged on with two hair ties. 

Tomato cheese grater!

Brain = strawberry milkshake

Well, structurally I think it's sound! 

 

After three years of consistent wear the foam degrades to the point that it wont hold up to an impact.  Get a new helmet.

I don't usually take orders from the men in blue but since I'm in a pod of lawyers...yes sir! 

.

HAha sorry might have been a little blunt, pet peeve in my unit, one guy actually took a header on the bike cracked it mostly in half and continued to wear it for over 6 months before I noticed.  His response when I asked what he was thinking?  "Well it worked the first time..."

Hahaha, nah, I need blunt. 

Gosh, and I was trying to be all nice and make a little, quiet suggestion.  Shoulda known.

Yeah. Not sure what wasn't clear about "NEW HELMET" or SPLATTERED BRAINS LOOK LIKE STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE.

But I'm good with watchin' the po-po shake her down. :D

You included a reference to delicious strawberry milkshakes.

I suppose I'm easily distracted by food references too, but I understood exactly what tomato-cheese-grater meant when she said that to me about wearing booty shorts, tank top and flip flops on a motorcycle ...

Fine. I'd take a milkshake over a splattered tomato too.

You think it's a bad idea to eat the homemade three-bean salad that's been in my fridge for ... four days? I mean it's been in olive oil and cider vinegar so how bad can it be?

Uhh yeah plus that whole Kelis song, it just didn't have the same impact.

4 day old beans, hmmm. Any hot date plans? If not, I'd say go for it.

I just made new salad. It was one-bean salad, but it was good anyway.

Also, I of all people really shouldn't be risking food poisoning.

Although I did eat those ten-day old beans that one time ... but I did moosh, fry, and garlic the hell out of them first.

If it's Nesquik, even better.

Anything else, though, I go with chocolate.

P.S. The Nesquik bunny KICKED. MY. AZZ. in a 5k once. Full suit. No sneakers. Just padded feet.

I yelled GO BUNNY GO and I swear, somehow, through that painted plastic face, I was given a very vile look.

No wonder you have a cereal addiction. I'd bring cereal every day, pound that milk and syrup, and that's all I'd eat.

I had 8am classes all through college because of the science stuff. Most of that time I was also training/competing full time in sport karate, and I'd bring a salad bowl, a box of cereal, a carton of milk to morning class and have waded through it by the time it was over at 9:20.

I'm still in touch with many of my professors, and they all remember this.

It's okay. I used to make words and phrases out of the Periodic Table, like LiBrArY and SYNErGeTiCS.

Is it weird that I have a periodic table at hand so I could quickly check those indeed worked? I mean, it's on a mug.

OK, a couple technique questions for the group:

1. Swim.  As I am trying to improve my swim times, a friend who watched me swim at Lake Placid told me I need to move my arms faster.  I agree, as I tend to settle into a very casual pace when doing long distances because there is a (very subconscious) part of me that worries I will go too hard and tire out and not be able to complete the distance.  But I noticed that as I increase arm speed, I feel less in control and feel more like I am flailing and like it isn't as effective.  However, when outright sprinting, I don't feel this way, I feel strong and purposeful.  So the questions here are how to increase arm turnover and still feel like I am doing things 'right'?  Should the arm be relaxed during recovery out of the water, but yet still moving fast?  Should arm speed out of water match arm speed in water?

2.  Run.  Is there any good way to describe the movements and actions of the leg(s) through the stride cycle?  The main area I would like some description of is what the leg is doing after the foot meets the ground.  Is there a distinct surging/pushing forward effort, or is it more muted?  I realize sprinting would for sure involve a stronger push and drive, but I am asking for endurance running tips.

I have the same issue on the swim. I wonder if the increase in speed should be gradual as strength/control/technique improves? IDK Undecided

So I went to my first masters swim practice this morning.  Getting up and to the pool wasn't too bad (although I could see myself being less motivated on a cold winter morning).

My first impression was a positive one in general. However... I was placed in a lane with another new person.  A young man (Reece) who was moderately faster than I and we split the lane.  So I didn't get the benefit of staying within the proposed times for each set because I was trying to keep track of my laps and my time.  Coach Andie, the woman who organizes the masters swim, was one of the participants and not the coach on deck.  The coach on deck didn't seem too helpful other than writing the workout on the board.  This could just be a first impression, maybe it was an off day for him.  Reece asked Coach if he gives pointers and Coach responded that he encourages people to ask questions Undecided. The swim set was (150, 100, 50, 50, 50, 100, 150) at varying speeds.  We did the set 3 times, supposedly getting faster each time.  Well to get faster each time the group added paddles the second time and fins the third time.  Most things I've read on BT and in Sheila's book discourage using "toys" for the purpose of gaining artificial speed. Undecided I suppose I could have done the sets without the toys but if I were in a regular lane swimming circularly with the others then not having the artificial speed could be problematic. Undecided

Not sure what to think.  I like the idea of having others to push me. I like not fighting for a lane after work. The practice is cut off strictly at one hour because the lanes get taked over by the high school swim team so I won't be able to do more meters other than by getting faster.  Sorry for the essay but what say the MANATEES?

I've been swimming under Coach Johnny for 18 months now (not literally sigh) and I've watched him with new people  First session he doesn't give them any attention, second session they may get a little stroke correction, if they come back a third time then he really gives them coaching.  I think he doesn't want to waste his time on people that aren't committed.  Also he needs a couple of sessions to assess where they are and what they need to work on.  As he always says to me every individual is different and needs different technique improvements.

Stick with it, once you're a regular you will find you get more out of it.

They can do all the hootin' and hollerin' they want about it, I love it.  It's a good recovery drink because I SAID SO DANGIT!  Actually it tastes good and it comes with protein and yes, does refuel the body a bit with glycogen etc.  I'm on a budget so I get milk at around $2 a gallon, a bottle of Hershey's for around $1.50 and walla, low cost good tasting recovery.  If I go real hard on a long bike, I then scoop some of my chocolate flavored Whey Protein I got at Wal-Mart, 2 pound tub for $15.

Thanks everyone for the advice about Masters swimming. I'll stick with it through the end of the month and then go from there. So I'll be back at it at 6 AM Friday morning.

I'm not even going to waste my time going in there to see. Chocolate milk can absolutely be used as a recovery drink. It's a perfect combination of carbs and protein. Not to mention, it tastes amazing AND is cheap as dirt. I'm just not really sure what is up for debate here.
