uhcoog - 2011-02-24 8:46 AM Rode the bike this morning and mad a pit stop at the gym to lift.  They just put together a $20 club tri there.  10 minutes in the pool, 30 minutes on a spin bike, and 10 on the dreadmill.  Not sure if I'm gonna do it.  My competitive nature will take over and I may push too hard.  That and I HATE pool swims.

I've used Higdon's plans for my last two marathons and for the current one I'm training for.  They work well and that should have you prepared just fine.

Which HM are you doing?

pbrown70 - 2011-02-24 11:03 AM I did a bric this morning, rode the bike on the trainer then ran outside. Question- Is it normal to get numbness from sitting on the bike? As soon as I got off the bike it went away.

pbrown70 - 2011-02-24 11:26 AM motobecane nemesis since I didn't know anything about bikes and didn't want to spend alot with knowing I like the  tri stuff but I did check it out a little and found out it is a knock off of the fugi aloha 2.

argh!

I was looking up some of the upcoming events for this year and realized one that I want to do is scheduled on Mother's Day. Who does that?!?!

I'm doubting I can do this one now, as Mother's Day is one of my busiest days of the year.

I always give Katy Mother's Day off, as she's a mom...not sure yet. MAYBE I can work that night, but I need to think about how I'll feel after the tri and whether going to work on a busy shift would be wise or not. 

uhcoog - 2011-02-24 10:46 AM
What distance is the tri??  Motivation to get  your fitness level so that you can do the tri in the morning, nap, and work in the evening?????  

abqtj - 2011-02-24 1:00 PM dang it...getting hard to argue with that logic...

You know how I feel about training and racing, but with this one, a consult with the wife may be in order.  If she lets you go on Mother's Day, you may owe her two days.

Sign up now.... ask forgiveness later.  Yes I'm a bad influence.

kaburns1214 - 2011-02-24 12:49 PM
You are a very bad influence.

In other thoughts, I've decided I'm doing IMTX in 2012, now I just need to get Shaun to agree.

carrie639 - 2011-02-24 2:10 PM Just want you all to know because of the upcoming snow storm (and my not running in such terrain) that I will need to put in 9-9.5 miles on the treadmill . . . does anyone feel bad for me????

I have only done this once and required a long movie, loud music and about 3 bottles of liquids (and several bathroom breaks since I did it at night)

aaarrrrgggghhhhh . . . don't mind the cold, but had the elements.  Ready to be done with it!!!

abqtj - 2011-02-24 12:15 PM argh!
