Tee Cris' Group - CLOSED (Page 6)

Doing well over here... spent some time on the bike in the gym. Gave myself a good workout and I'm feeling pretty good overall.

Swimming and running tomorrow (Wed) - looking forward to an early start to the day.

Kevin, you'll need to post some videos of yourself with that sweet new swim stroke.  Man, that's huge for you to overcome the concern with the swim.  Glad that worked out for you!

I'm planning to get out and run early tomorrow morning again.  Not important for any of you to know but I figure posting it here may make me accountable.  Can't hit the snooze button now... 

 I made my early morning run goal and even got a lunch time bike ride in.  Beautiful day in Dallas!  Week 2 of IM training is almost over.  Swim tomorrow and some weekend bikiing on tap.

I'm here!  Maybe if we pose some very controversial triathlon theory here they will jump back in.

We could question the whole theory behind Total Immersion.  That will at least get one person going! 

Indeed it will Todd!!!  I have been mia on posting - been logging more frequent flyer miles than training/blogging miles.  Back on plan today, felt great and will certainly sleep well tonight.

As for TI, today was my first swim since the workshop. What's nice is that I have a whole plan to build on - both distance, but really more on "muscle memory" for proper form.  I'm still amazed at the effortlessness that it takes for me to now do 200 yds.  Two weeks ago, it was a stretch to finish 100.

So, anyone have any TI q's???

Good morning everyone! Just got back from the pool. Today I hit it for 1000 yards in 22:45. I felt pretty good the whole time. It is time to get out my TI book and re-read it. From what you guys say, it seems like it really can help. 

 Running tomorrow. Maybe outside.

Going to the pool before the big storm hits. How much snow is there in Chicago?

 Tom

 So I did another 1000 yards. I managed to better my time by 30 sec.  - 22:16. If I would just read the TI book, I might be able to get a bit faster. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hey everyone-

All is well over here in NJ. Went to the Y yesterday (Sat) for a swim and a run. Today was a 4 mile ride on the mountain bike.

Still sticking with the plan (but added an extra swim this week b/c I felt like spending more time in the water) - looking forward to increasing the volume a bit more this week.

I also borrowed my friend's TI book & DVD yesterday. I'm looking forward to incorporating some of the techniques in the coming weeks.

On a personal note, today my wife and I celebrated six years of marriage. 

Hope everyone has a good start to their week tomorrow.

AJ

Hit the pool again today. Was just going to wimp out and do a quick 500, ended up doing 750, same timing as before. 

 Does any body have a Facebook account? If you do, my email on there is [email protected].

 Come on people - where is everyone?

Hey everybody...

Had a great week over here in NJ.  My first race keeps on getting earlier and earlier... originally it was going to be July... then people at my work are doing a fundraise for Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for the Philly Triathlon in June, so I signed up for that one.  Then the fact that there will be over 1000+ people at the Philly Triathlon made me realize that I would like to get some race experience under my belt at a smaller event, so I'm signing up for the Hammonton Triathlon down for the Sat of Memorial Day weekend.

I don't want to jinx myself, but I'm REALLY excited about the races - I feel really good, I've dropped a little weight and I'm really confident that I'll be ready by May.

Hope to hear from everyone else soon,

aj

All-

I'm on the market for a used road bike in the $400 - $600 range.

I have a friend of a friend who owns a bike shop and he said that my ideal frame size is 57.2cm.

I'm checking the following places for listings:

• craiglist
• total bike classifieds
• Bike Forums Classifieds
  
• any eBay listings that are local to me.
  

I also will be calling around to local bike shops to see what they might have available.

Any other suggestions on where to look for used bikes?

Thanks for your help.

AJ

Hey AJ,

 Loading up the races eh? That's cool. I need to get my butt in gear and get signed up for mine. I registered for one, but there are a few more I want to hit this year. 

 On a side note- I hit the pool again today - for part of the swim I had to swim circles. First time for that, it was weird. But we managed just fine. 1000 yds in 22:15 again. I'm nothing if not consistent.

Have a good weekend everyone!

So I got up to go swim this morning - but when I took the dog out at 5:05am, it was 3 degrees. I really didn't feel like getting in any water. 

 So instead, I stayed home and did a 40 min workout of strength, cardio and abs. My wife was bugged when she came down and saw me working out and that I didn't wake her up to workout too. I love her. What wife gets mad at you becasue you DIDN'T wake them up to workout? (We also fight over who gets to shovel the driveway when it snows, we both want to.)

 I might run tonight anyway, just 'cause I need to.                                                                                                                                                                                                              Tom
