crimefighter2 - 2010-03-19 11:54 PM Finally got a run in today.  work kicked my heiney this week.  March will be a bad training month for me.

In other news - if ya'll need shoes and such - runningwarehous.com is running a big sale on shoes.  I like them - free 2 day shipping.  got a free shirt too.  (shoes were over 50% off)



Duane do not sweat it.........April is coming.
You will get back to it.
Word of advice though.....do NOT try and make up for lost ground by jumping into higher volume than you are prepared for. Classic mistake. One could very well leave you injured..........
Speaking from experience are we??? And I thought the classic blunder was going against a Sicilian when death was on the line... hahahahah, hahahahah...haa...................


Nope. Actually NOT speaking from experience. The only injuries I have ever gotten were from running on a slanted road surface.
I am ULTRA conservative when it comes to increasing volume.......slow and steady keeps ya healthy.

gojogo - 2010-03-21 2:04 PM Congrats on the bike Jesse.  It's funny how we still feel like a kid when we get a new one. 

Glad to see you back Gary. 

I rode for 35 miles today.  I think I made need to invest in a women's saddle.  We used one yesterday and I thought it was more comfortable than mine. 

Thanks for the compliments.  Keep in mind that the trainers were set for us to be able to go fast.  That distance was right around where most top women competitors were reaching. 

Kelly


Kelly you are a WICKED fast cyclist!! Today you averaged a speed that in my dreams I would love to be able to maintain!!
You GO girl!

I rode 30 miles in the mist and rain, then ran 2 miles in a down pour. Done for the day!!!! I did really enjoy the ride. It was supposed to be an easy ride so I decided to get lost. I took roads I had never been on and  it was a suprise when I could figure out where I was. It is fun when you are fit enough to have the confidence to ride anywhere you want. 4 years ago this would NOT have been possible.

Sorry I've been absent for a while and not competing in the challenge - a lot of work issues and family stuff going on - I hope everyone is doing well.  Still training regularly, but my mind has been consumed with other things during the down time.  This week I'm taking it slow, then 3 good hard weeks and a taper week before my first Olympic distance at St Anthonys April 25th. 
I believe Lisa is coming down for it - hopefully we'll have the chance to meet!!  Also found out I need a wetsuit for it - anyone ever rented one??  Probably not with this group of cold weather folks  Wetsuit warehouse has them for $40 - I cant see buying one living in FL.
Happy training all

What a great accomplishment.  Glad you enjoyed the ride.

This is a recovery week for me.  Life also got a little crazy at our house this week.  Lacrosse season has started and my husband is the high school varsity coach and the 5th & 6th grade team's coach.  So I'll pretty much be a single mom at night getting my daughter to soccer and my son to lacrosse, and what ever else. 
I was able to get my ride in tonight, but had to do it inside since I had to hang with my daughter. 
Indoor is better than nothing

Why is it that silly life gets in the way??? It happens to everyone!!!LOL Just make sure you come back when things settle!!!

Try looking in the Florida forums or on the race thread and ask other Floridians where they rent their wet suits. If you dont have any luck..Socks here on BT is from Fla...she is very kind and knows alot about triathlon, she will be able to point you in the right direction. I think she is also doing St A's.

I guess it's better then trying to find a straw in a needle stack.



Unless you had on a knight's armor, or some weird suit made of thimbles.

Thanks Mav.  One of the guys in my running group offered to loan me his full suit - he's the same size as me.  I think I would like a sleeveless one to allow for more mobility, but I think I'll borrow his this week and try it out in the pool and see how it feels. 
I hope everyone has a great day-
