kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2011 Part 2 - CLOSED (Page 63)

I've seen a ton of "triathlonisms" on the forums in the very short time I've been at this. 

Up to ride and its cold and pouring rain (again).  Not particularly happy with the weather. 

Race directing a race tomorrow so trying to get training in on top of lots of baking and prep work.

Can y'all do me a favor?  I'm trying to help a half marathon taking place this fall.   If you have a moment could you "like" us on facebook?

So Shaun and I went and visited the whales at Mystic Aquarium on Sunday:

Done!

And cool looking whale, I bet that was fun!

Not a ton of great pics from the race Sunday.  Thought this was funny though.  Cindy told my girls that the sign says "Little girls who pass this sign get put in timeout."

I love Mystic.  I'm planning a friend's bridal shower there complete with special guest penguins.

The water was brutally cold -- low 50s.  No way I ever want ot swim in water like that.

Beluga Whales at Mystic are awesome.  Cool pics.

This will be a rest week for me since I aggrevated the left calf yesterday on a run. I started the Olympic Plan again, starting with week 5 of the plan, so technically it is not a rest week, but I had three increasing volume weeks in a row. I could use the lower volume and rest the calf.  Not sure if i'll run this week. 

RICE protocol for a week and see how you feel. 

When?  Can I sneak in?  If I could have a pet penguin I would, just have not figured out a way (...yet).

Settings - Training Log Settings - Equipment Tracker

Click on the '+' sign to open up the details of item you want to retire.

Click on the 'Retire' button.

Took me a while to figure it out too!

done

Kelly - I worked at mystic for a summer years and years ago feeding the penguins! They are very stinky creatures!

Well that just ruins Happy Feet for me.  Thanks a lot!!

So I figured it got almost 220 miles out of my running shoes.  Since I bought the purple pair the same time and rotated them, they got retired too.

Do those miles seem right?  I just don't want to wear the purple til get how the blue ones have and have my whole body sore again.

Thoughts?  What do you guys do?

Whales is good eatin' 

Felt like poo yesterday so i did nothing.  will hit the trainer this PM.  I can't beleive i am riding those F*&^% hills again this weekend.  I wonder which will hurt more Rev3 HIM or Griskus OLY?  At least the OLY will be over quicker.    

This reminds me I need to start moving my weekend rides farther northwest so that I can get ready for Austin.
