That is pretty amazing and saddening at the same time. I didn't know that was such an issue with lacrosse. Is it that the ball is thrown so hard it shocks the heart into stopping beating? And the chest protector doesn't help as much?

Its a perfect strom so to speak it its the ball hitting the chest with in 20 milliseconds of the peak of the heart beat. Padding does not help. However AEDS save lives!!

I need a place to vent!!!

For the last 10 years I have coached boys lacrosse. This past summer I had an awful experience where a player I was coaching was hit in the chest with a shot from another player and went into Cardiac Arrest. I had to do CPR and we shocked him and today the 16 year old young man is still alive. My vent is this past Friday night a 12 year old boy was struck in the chest with a shot from another lacrosse player and yesterday he sercomed to his injuries. This Stinks

But God is Good!! Its just one of those days

Such a terrible tragedy. It's great to know you were able to save the other player earlier, though.

Artist - 2012-02-07 10:04 PM speaking of flip turns-I cut seven seconds off my 50 this week. That is huge for me and I DID NOT use a flip turn (ha ha). This master's class is paying dividends. I am finally feeling the water rather than fighting it. On another note I was bummed because my zoomers came today and they are too small-have to send them back for the right size.

just remember, flip turns speed you up dramatically in the pool. But have not effect on OWS time. When I do flip turns I cut 10 seconds off my 50 time without any additional effort. But, this is why (a) i dont do flip turns [also they cause my calves to cramp more] and (b) i dont push off. Its also why my pool times and OWS time equate (in fact my OWS swims are usually faster because of the wetsuit advantage).

If you make training harder that racing you will race faster.

I am not saying do or dont do flip turns. just understand what they are.

In other news

Lance Armstrong first hinted at his return to triathlon in the weeks leading up to the Xterra USA National Championship in Utah last September (after more than two decades away from the sport) by taking to Twitter, where his alter ego, @juanpelota, dropped a number of clues about the venue of his much anticipated triathlon comeback.

Armstrong is again tweeting cryptic messages that may reveal plans for his next triathlon, this time suggesting Ironman Panama 70.3 this Sunday. On Tuesday morning he tweeted a link to a Van Halen music video for the song “Panama.” At first glance it seems a shaky connection, but consider an earlier tweet from Jan. 8: “Reading @nytimes travel section. Rates top 45 places to travel to in 2012. Panama is # 1. Hmm, interesting.”

We know that he’s been hard at work swimming, biking and running via Twitter updates like this one from a week ago:

“Great training day. 2600 in the pool, 85 miles on the bike, then 5 mi run straight off the bike…”

If he does toe the line this Sunday, he’ll find strong competition in friend and fellow cycling star Chris Lieto, as well as Rasmus Henning, T.J. Tollakson, Bert Jammaer, Matty Reed and Jesse Thomas.

Stay tuned for updates and reports from the Triathlete.com crew in Panama this weekend

So sorry to hear this! One of our lacrosse players at Cornell passed away my senior year from this same thing happening -the ball hit him in the chest and stopped his heart. It's scary how often it seems to happen in lacrosse, since the balls are thrown so hard.

Sorry I've been so inconsistent with posting here guys! I have a bunch of personal stuff going on (all good) but it's kept me from working out with any consistency and also kept me off of BT for almost a week. I'm hoping to try to get back to normal here soon.

I learned flip turns a couple of years back when I was on the HS swim team. Now I am working on OWS so for me I don't feel the need to do them. I agree with you that its about training hard not a great 50 time. I am just happy I made some decent progress finally.

I saw some of you were posting about weight loss goals and I know we have discussed nutrition a bunch of times so i wanted to refer you all to Ben Greenfields web site. This guy not only knows nutrition but he's a competitive triathlete and knows how to apply good nutrtion to our sport. Well worth a look and a listen to some of the podcasts he does over on Endurance Planet. it's great stuff, I have learned A LOT from him over the past year.

That's funny, the link won't post. Well it's Ben Greenfield Fitness.com

I have not found, yet, that flip turns make me faster. I am much faster when I do an open turn and much less tired as well. I also tend to cramp with constant flip turns. Flip turns really run me out of breath.

That's why I said yet ... the jury is still out. And honestly, if the competition is in open water are flip turns really that important?

This coming from a person that only figured out a proper flip turn 2 months ago ....

Since we are doing nutrition ... here is my meal that I have been eating lately that is good and quick

Salad: mixed greens, carrots, broccoli, dried cranberries, diced up turkey, 1-2 pieces of cheese torn up and thrown in, balsamic vinagarette

When I started eating these salads back over the summer it pulled down my chlorestrol to 155, which is huge for me. I am not a nutrition expert, however, this is way, way better then I have been eating.

The only problem with this weight loss challenge is I have already lost 40 lbs and my clothes don't fit, and I am too cheap to buy more, an additional 30 will make me look like a rapper with my pants down to my knees!

What up peeps? Great PT session this morning, finally able to start working with light weights. 10 lb curls!!! Damn!!!! And got to do some light shoulder presses on the machine along with the hand bike. Finally, some action.

I've got about 4 hours of volume in this week so far, not including today. Mostly stationary bike, and a bit of walking on the treadmill with incline. 2 1/2 more weeks and I shold be cleared for running. So I signed up for a March 11th 5k. Not expecting great results with that, so I am there for the T-Shirt! Have a great day!

Trainer session and core work at 5 this morning, and then I squeezed in a five mile run after preschool drop off. I have a scheduled rest day tomorrow, and I'm really looking forward to it. Our house goes on the market in 3 weeks, and we have lots of work to do before then.

Question.....I was thinking of skipping the clip on aero bars for this season. I am comfortable in the drops of my road bike, and I plan on buying a tri bike for next season (if I have success this year at the HIM distance). Do you think I need the aero bars? Or do you think I'll be ok in the drops? I have Giant Defy road bike if that helps.

Yes. You don't do open turns in open water, or push off a wall, lot's of things are different but not an excuse to not train like a proper swimmer.

Agreed. Need the bars for 56 miles.

Carrie I'm still rocking clothes, well shirts, from when I was 220. Funny sight. I told Cindy I'm more worried about my wetsuit not fitting than my work clothes. Go figure.

2k+ in the pool and lifting fasted this morning. At this point 4 of 6 training days are fasted. Long run and long ride days are the exception. Will sneak an hour or a bit more in on the trainer at lunch. Abby's 3rd bday is Sautrday so I'm having to clean so we can have a select few friends over after her gymnastics party.
