CHALLENGE Challenge - Resolution (Page 6)

That sounds great... So it's really worth it.... I have to sign up for classes next month....

So what was it he had you change?  I've been reading the TI book and trying some of the things in it.  I've probably picked up 5 - 10 sec/100 yds, but it feels about as comfortable as running a 5k in high heels!

That's a funny comparison... I just try to picture that... For whatever reason I am thinking of red pumps!

I guess you have to get used to adjustments... It's different so it feels different and that's probably something to get used to!

You're probably right, but as a typical male, I am looking for the easy fix!

 
There are a few races that are done in heels .  Google it for a laugh  .   

My issues are  uneven strokes especially right arm/side where i breathe , too much movement and rotation of my chest , my head is too low , looking at the bottom instead of forward

also my arms doing eccentric pulls because of above issues . my arms reentry in the water is too early so i am not getting full extension of my arms on recovery (front) . This above skewing causes one foot to go sideways and creates drag .

Tips for me are tilt  my head up more  to see in front  my fingers . Big one is bilateral breathing this help not overturn , keep arm straight and for me overcorrect

rentry more to the right side and more forward of where i usually do it. Enter with thumbs down .

Way to get all the workouts in  this month  .

Go Kendra ! 

Great job!

Dodged the rain  and out for 30 mins this morning , its killing me to hold back on time  and pace . I am finishing  the workouts before i am tired .

19 miles left .   

I have 13 miles and 3 ST left to make goal. I have it planned out. 1.5 miles a day and I will get it there. Do more ahead of time great - if not I still make goal.

Go team.

Have a great weekend everyone.... Great job on putting the workouts in!

GO TEAM RESOLUTION!!!

 Aren't you racing this weekend ?  

Next race for me is next Saturday!  A miserably hilly 10K that is actually about 6.5 miles.  But it is a great workout and a lot of fun!!!

I got my swim in early this morning so I am up to 64% with that.  I will either bike or run later today as well.  It will be a busy week, but should not have a problem hitting the goals.

Train well folks and if you are racing,  good luck and have fun!!!

BTW, has taper madness started to set in yet?

Miserably Hilly !   LOL   

My race is mercifully flat. 

But take courage : hills is what separates the Best for the Rest.  

Yes... I did my 5K this morning and PR'd. Shaved off 40 seconds of my last 5K time and this course had a lot more hills in it than the last one... Did it in 29:05mins and I am very happy about it!

I have been in the pool enough this week that a finally had to buy a swim cap because my hair was turning a funny color... Final week of training coming up!

Great job on the PR! Awesome!!!

Was your hair going green ?  

Got  in 20 mins this morning to bring me  into the home stretch ,  will probably break the rest of my goal up into two runs .    And cross train easy on the other days . With a day off on saturday , plan is to get a lot of rest this week  .  

Hills will really test your mettle .  You must be very pleased , well done.

What 's next to focus on ?  

I have a 8K in two weeks and a 10K beginning of March... But those are basically training runs, just for the fun of it... Next big goal is doing the Cooper River Bridge Run 10K in Charleston under 1h.

TEAM RESOLUTION... Last week... "All out" effort to reach our goals! GO GO GO!!!
