Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I'm out the door this morning to run a last minute trail marathon. I haven't raced in nice weather in a long time, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I'm considering it an expensive training run with all the support and camaraderie you get in a race environment. Good luck to the other racers: Caleb, Linda, and David (on May 5th??)

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hi, all. It's been a while since I stopped in. Just updated my logs finally. I had not entered anything this month yet. I have been busy spending a grip of cash. Got a running form analysis a few weeks back and am doing an overhaul on my form. I think I posted a bit about that. I have been having a bit of trouble with my left ankle and my calves are super sore. So I am in the painful process of starting from zero again. My long runs are 2 miles with walk breaks and my short runs are about .8 miles in the grass. I went back to the same guy who did my running analysis and got a Retul fit on my new bike. That was an awesome experience and my bike is so much more comfortable now. Lastly, I signed up for a sprint in July. Kinda scared since I didn't make it to the first one I signed up for. I can swim and bike currently but I can't even run 2 miles without a break. Sucks but it is what is. My injuries are pretty good. My knee is good. I don't ice anymore. My hip is still not 100% but seems to slowly be getting better. Going to see a good chiro next week to work on that. All right, enough blathering on. Have a good week and happy training! |

Member ![]() ![]() | ![]() tdl1972 - 2013-04-25 1:51 PM For transitions, I have found that beer in those new Miller Lite cans with the key punch tops can cut several seconds off ordinary cans or bottles. HA! When I was catching up on this thread I missed this. That's awesome, David! |

Good to hear from you, Margo. It sounds like you are on the right track with your healing and training. Keep logging those workouts....make it part of your daily routine. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Post 'em and give us one highlight of the month! Tell us your May goals!
The best part of April is I spent 30 days in birthday month bliss! It was basically a transition month for me so nothing super incredible happened. May returns me to structured swimming and a much larger focus on improving my FTP. |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Bike: 14hrs 28 mins 38s-203.9 Run: 5hrs 22mins 14s-31.53 mile Swin: 4 hrs 26 mins 15s-9008yds
I hate the totals part! It seems like i have done so much, then i look at what everyones else does and seems like I didnt do much of anything. Highlight of the month was finishing my first Multisport (dualthon) in under the time I picked when registering. I have been tapering last week and this week. I will be competing in my first OLY this week. I hope to finish in under 4hrs |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Okay......best month of the year, so far. Pales in comparison with what I was doing in the past, at this point in IM training, but hey! Is what it is....

See, you have done way more than some of us!!! Focus on the prize, yourself. You've come a very long way. |
