I know! That chick was hard core! I think she was in the wave behind me, but she was FAST. I kept pace with her on that hill, but I think she had skates on for the downhill, because she was gone QUICK. Can't quite tell from that pic if she has Heely's on or not.  and Tom you wearing Newton shoes? Yup - Neutral Trainers. I like them a lot! My coworkers like to make fun of my bright red shoes, but I can outrun all of them, so it's all good Edited by iowagander 2010-01-29 7:27 PM |

Carlsbad Half Marathon. They run a marathon the same day, but the half has about 4x as many runners. They stuck me in the second wave too, which made me pretty nervous. I usually like to try and pick people off the whole race, but this way I was just moving with the flow. It worked out pretty good though. I have done many rides thru Carlsbad when I visit my daughter in San Diego...love that area...if it is next to the coast it can get quite hilly there! hows the course? |

"Rolly Poley" was the best description I've heard. Nothing terrible, with the biggest climb about 75 ft of elevation in about a half mile or so, but enough to get your attention. It's definitely not as flat as their website would have you believe - at least not for a novice like me. Edited by iowagander 2010-01-29 7:29 PM |

Just wanted to share that I just finished my 2nd half marathon of the month. I wasn't even sure if 1 was going to be possible since I "ran" only 4 miles last month. dang.......were you able to walk the next day, Neal? This was cumulative miles over the month. SLOW cumulative miles. I cannot even fathom running 13.1 straight at this point. |

What do you think about that idea? Go for it! As long as they're races you'll have fun with and that you can afford, go and have a blast! yeah.. I was kidding. I'm planning on Black Bear Oly, which is 3 weeks after the PGH HM. Then a sprint the end of July, another Oly in August, the RNR HM in Virginia Beach the beginning of Sept, and the Marine Corps Marathon in October. Probably a few local 5k's as well. Sounds like a great summer! Can't wait to read all the RR's! Yeah! Ann has a plan. Way to go on doing the Oly at Black Bear. I have some training buddies that may be doing it as well, so I may be a sherpa or a volunteer. I haven't registered yet, that's on my list of things to do this weekend. LET ME KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE THERE! I may need a sherpa, too.  Get yourself registered! CGI races fill up pretty quickly. As for sherpa support....YOU GOT IT. My training friends call me "the mechanic" because I'm pretty good at solving bike issues and am very speedy at changing flats. I've also been called Mary Poppins because of how much *spare stuff* I have in my transition bag. I will make sure you are covered and can concentrate on racing. OK! I DID IT!!! I am registered for the Black Bear Olympic Tri!!! I NEED TO GET MY SWIM ON!!! |

When my sister and her family lived in CA, my nephew knew that I had started going triathlons. He called me one day and said he heard people talking about Escape from Alcatraz and he wanted me to come do it. Um... thanks big guy! Unfortunatly I was unable to fit it into my schedule when they were there. They do a lottery every year now. You basically have to fill out an application for the lottery, which includes writing down recent races and finishing times. I'm not sure if this actually is to weed out beginners or weak swimmers or not. Then they hold a drawing and select a random number of people from those that submitted an application. I believe they hold a second drawing (from those applicants that weren't picked the first time around) after registration closes for the first wave to give out the rest of the empty slots. congrats on squeaking in Neal! I know many racers who have been trying for years! So, where you staying and how long you gonna be here? and where we meeting after for a celebratory drink or six!!?? I haven't quite shaped my travel plans yet but I expect to be out there for 5 or 6 days at least. My sister lives in Mountain View which isn't too far from San Fran so that's where I'll be staying. Gotta love the free lodging. Celebratory drink or six? Name the place and I'm there!! |

WOW! Early but very impressive! Um, yes Jules, I have started some of my days at 3:50 in the AM so I can do yoga before I get ready for work. and so that means you are in bed at 7 pm to get all that beauty rest, right??? that is craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy early!! Do you feel that it has helped? is there any change in the morning or your day since you have been doing this? I wish! Usually in bed anywhere between 8:30 and 10:30. I don't sleep well so I'm not really missing anything. I actually do think I felt better the days I got up and did it. I have tons of stess and I felt less stressed the mornings I did yoga. I'll pay attention and see if that trend continues. |

What do you think about that idea? Go for it! As long as they're races you'll have fun with and that you can afford, go and have a blast! yeah.. I was kidding. I'm planning on Black Bear Oly, which is 3 weeks after the PGH HM. Then a sprint the end of July, another Oly in August, the RNR HM in Virginia Beach the beginning of Sept, and the Marine Corps Marathon in October. Probably a few local 5k's as well. Sounds like a great summer! Can't wait to read all the RR's! Yeah! Ann has a plan. Way to go on doing the Oly at Black Bear. I have some training buddies that may be doing it as well, so I may be a sherpa or a volunteer. I haven't registered yet, that's on my list of things to do this weekend. LET ME KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE THERE! I may need a sherpa, too. Get yourself registered! CGI races fill up pretty quickly. As for sherpa support....YOU GOT IT. My training friends call me "the mechanic" because I'm pretty good at solving bike issues and am very speedy at changing flats. I've also been called Mary Poppins because of how much *spare stuff* I have in my transition bag. I will make sure you are covered and can concentrate on racing. OK! I DID IT!!! I am registered for the Black Bear Olympic Tri!!! I NEED TO GET MY SWIM ON!!! There's nothing quite like a race to get you motivated to train! Congrats on registering! I've been saying training starts Monday. Now it really does! Nice! I've been saying for months that ironman training starts Feb 1. I just need to get a training plan drawn up this weekend The thing I don't like about the plans is they're in minutes. I would really prefer to have them say go this many miles. I need to work on a custom plan this weekend to try and translate the minutes to miles, and overlap the HM run miles with the Oly training plan. I'll bike and swim the Oly plan but run the HM plan. When is your IM? |

WOW! Early but very impressive! Um, yes Jules, I have started some of my days at 3:50 in the AM so I can do yoga before I get ready for work. and so that means you are in bed at 7 pm to get all that beauty rest, right??? that is craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy early!! Do you feel that it has helped? is there any change in the morning or your day since you have been doing this? I wish! Usually in bed anywhere between 8:30 and 10:30. I don't sleep well so I'm not really missing anything. I actually do think I felt better the days I got up and did it. I have tons of stess and I felt less stressed the mornings I did yoga. I'll pay attention and see if that trend continues. so what is stressing you? home life? work? financials? BT Ghoulies post padding posting very intriguing training stories? me asking you silly questions? I have to get at least 7 hours sleep...I dont see how you function with so little sleep!??? |
