Fred D and Queen Zipp's SWIM, BIKE RUN consistency thread.... CLOSED (Page 53)

March numbers:

 Not bad considering I was coming out of that sickness in early March and travelling a lot for work.  April will see me getting serious (finally) about sticking to a plan for IM Louisville.

I've also got a bit stuck on the weight front.  If people want to post their starting weights and goals for April I'll put another table together.

Good luck with your search.  It took me 3 months to finally get everything in place for mine, but I'm loving it so far.  Bike fit tomorrow...

Starting weight is 138.  Goal weight is 134.

Swam today, so tired tonight!

Teaser!!  What bike did you order?

YAY for skinny jeans fitting!

WHOO HOO!!!!  Gorgeous!!

My weight loss and gain is always on 2-3 week delay.  Meaning it takes about 2-3 weeks of focus (or poor eating) for the results to show up on the scale.  I do find that weighing myself regularly helps keep me accountable.  I don't pay that much attention to the day to day swings, but more so progress over 3-5 days.

I am down to 154.2 this mornig before my run.  Still need to keep the focus though as I tend to get complacent everytime I get into the lower 150's then go back up.

Also did a test run for my uphill TT yesterday.  Pretty pleased with the results.  I couldn't motivate myself to push as hard as I would on race day, but I did pick up some key insights that should help me this Sunday.

And that is one sweet bike.  I have a love for Cannondales (love my CAAD10), but the Slice doesn't fit me.  The new Slice RS on the other hand...the stack and reach numbers are a bit off the chart and might work well for me and my short legs.  Just can't justify it right now...or in the near future.

Awesome ! Congrats !

Starting weight 183, Goal weight 177 ....will need to get serious this month as next 4 weeks are my build stage of my current program.

Leaving tomorrow for a family ski trip to Mammoth, its been years for me and the kid's first time... Its a recovery stage week for me but still won't be able to train for 4 days...I suppose I will get some cardio on the slopes and there is an indoor pool where we are staying...I guess I can do a bunch of mini laps =)

Anyone have any experience with Focus bikes ?

That bike looks awesome Kristen.  When is it due to arrive?  I tried the slice, but the geometry was a bit extreme for me.

My day started out badly, but improved a lot.  Woke up with a headache, which continued into my long swim.  Not quite the quality workout I was hoping for.  But this afternoon I had my bike fit, which went well and I'm really pleased with the outcome.  

Then this evening we had a time trial on the running track (3.2km).  We do them every couple of months, and the last one was the middle of January.  I was hoping for an improvement on the last one, but it went much better than I hoped.  Not only did I beat my previous time by over a minute, but I got an all time PB by nearly 30sec. 

Today was a beautiful day so I'm hoping for more of the same tomorrow so I can try the tri bike outside.  I'm a little nervous about it, as I'm aware that the handling will be more twitchy than I'm used to with the road bike.  But I've got to start somewhere...

I was wondering if you had gotten the iHealth scale.  I looked it up and it had pretty bad reviews.  The Withings one seems to have really good reviews.
