Here you go guys.  Be warned.  You lose valueble training hours not only preparing this but devouring it. 

Mom's Mexican Corn Salsa.
Warning !! INSANELY ADDICTIVE
----------------------------------------------
Ingredients

4 Vine Ripen'd Tomatoes.
2 Jalepeno's (remove seeds if you can't handle them)
1 small red onion
8 scallions
1/2 cup cilantro (shopped fine)
1 can - shoepeg corn (strained & rinse)

salt - as much as you like
pepper - as much as you like
cayanne red pepper - to make er spicy
1/4 cup vegatable oil
1/4 cup Red Wine Vinegar

Tomato preperation - You chop up all the tomatoes fine. Here's the key. Mom's secret (Sorry mom). She has a roll of paper towels standing by. As you chop up the tomatoes you use paper towels to "suck up" the juices with paper towels. You don't want the tomatoes all mushy in their own juices. Chop all 4 and set aside in the final mixing bowl.

Now just chop up all the other ingredients very fine (except shoepeg corn) & add. Stir in oil, red wine vinegar, salt & pepper. Add cayenne pepper for spicyness. The red wine vinager is the "sweetner". Best to let this sit for a few hours to let it all "come together." But you won't be able to.
-----------------------------------------------

Eat with Tostito Scoops. You can also add black beans to the mix and really be in lala land.

Funny I was just thnking the same thing.  Hope everyone is still interested and active here.  I know that you can't get on here alot, ( I prob spend way 2 much time on this thing).  but please don't lose steam if that might be the case.  Certainly poke your head in here and see what the latest is. So here's a few thing.  I promised some neat info on lactate & rpe that I learned on my trip to Colorado Center for Sports Medicine.  I scanned it so you guys and see it.  There's more.    Second,  I've got my first race of the "season" starting up this coming Saturday. A 10k in Saint Pete, FL.  Hope to beat my PR of 57 mins.

So here's the file in Adobe Acrobat PDF format for you guys.

Did my 3rd swim day of my first week of my swim program. Will up the yardage on Tuesday. Running indoors tomorrow because of the cold and windchill.

Anybody interested in the blue bracelet. I purchased two larges last year and now they are to big. I have one that is still in the wrapper that is unopen. I am going to order a medium tomorrow. It will fit a big arm. If you would like the new one let me know. $3 plus a self address stamped envelope. On the other side it says  "swim bike run".

If you would like to see if the gentleman has anyother sizes I wrote him off of the original thread.  http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=48919&start=1  He told me he has quite a few mediums left, not sure about other sizes.

Started my seconds week of my swim program today. Feel that I am inproving my stroke and my speed. Going to do a little brick workout tomorrow.

WEEK two:
200 yards...rest for 12 breaths
100 yards...rest for 10 breaths...repeat 4 times
60 yards...rest for 6 breaths...repeat 3 times
20 yards...rest for 4 breaths...repeat 3 times
total: 1020 yards

Budda,

Sorry about Da Bears.  I was hoping man.  I'm not a fan of Indiana or Dingy.

Pat,

 Glad to see your improving with your swimming.  Of course one of the most important things to remember about the swim to be comfortable and relaxed.  Like they say the race is not won in the swim but it sure can be lost in the swim.  Blow up in the swim and you've ruined the bike and run.  I sure as heck am not placing in the top of the swim pace so I just go for a nice comfortable stroke.  I finish when I finish.

Just did my first brick of the year yesterday afternoon.  Felt great.  Slow 2000 yard swim with some speed work in there and then followed it up with a 10 mins transition in the locker room and then hit the treadmill for 6 miles.  HR at about 140 steady. 

Going to really start to put in the miles on the bike now.  Missed out alot in Jan since I didn't have my bike.  Here's pic of Kelley and I going on our first ride together.  She is new to biking and jsut got a Cannondale R700.  Loves it.   I love that she loves it.  Are your significant others involved with your training?

 A friend of mine runs a spin class (road bikes on your trainer) and has some good 90 mins programs worked out on the stationary that I am going to see if I can get a hold of for you guys.  Good stuff that isolates legs, intervals, spin ups, standing & sitting sprints, etc...

 Sorry   You don't even want to know what the temp is here today.  Don't even ask.

OK so to step up to the plate and help in my "mentoring" I'm going to offer more of motivation and offer up my collection of IRONMAN dvd's  Talk about inspirational!!  I have a copy of every IM from 1991 to present on DVD.  90 mins recaps.  GREAT STUFF for in front of the tube on the bike.  So here's what I am going to do.  I'm going to send them to you guys.  Kinda of like our own little Netflix.  Just free.  When your done with it, send it to the next guy in our group.  I'll send three at a time.  If this is something you guys would like to get and watch, just PM your address's.  I'll provide you with the name and address of the next person to send them to when your done watching them.  I'm guessing 3 per week.  PLEASE please don't lose them.  Sound like a kewl idea?
