kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2011 Part 2 - CLOSED (Page 69)

Happy Father's Day to all the dads in the group!!!!

I had to change my training schedule a bit for my husband.  He's always picking up the slack so I can get my workouts in, and I figured he needed a day off from that.  I got up early and ran an easy 3 miles.....let him sleep in (kids played Wii in basement while I ran)...now I'm making waffles and bacon for him.  It's all about him today; he's an awesome father!

Also, I'm looking forward to eating a bunch of crap tonight at a picnic.  I LOVE picnic food and just can't help myself - burgers, eggs, corn on the cob, etc.  Yummy!!!! 

Congrats to Rudy! Awesome!

Congrats to Jeff also!

Happy Fathers Day to all of the Dads here!! Already made breakfast for my husband who is a great dad!! I think we have a day of kayaking on tap - should be fun!

Congrats Jeff & Rudy.

How did Kelly do, or is that today?

I just had a long training day -- no "racing" for me.

bryancd - 2011-06-18 7:24 PM Here was a tough one today. Almost 70 miles on the bike where I had to do 10mion intervals at Half Ironman race pace with 5min recovery for the entire ride. And there was a fair bit of climbing. ...and then an hour run off this ride and the temps where starting to push towards 100. It was rough but it was a good one.

Nice ride.  That is some serious climbing.

Long weekend for me.  7-ish hours of swim-bike-run on Saturday then a 3 hour drive from Patriot to Hanover, NH for my 10 year reunion.  Back to the hotel late on Saturday night and up at 5 a.m. for a 10 mile run, then more driving home to CT and now another bike and run.

I feel jet lagged.

That's all you did this weekend????  Slacker!!!!    That's almost a week for me!

yo yo...mentee peeps, thanks so much for the kind words. I hurt like MF'ing hell.  But my calf feels great and that is what is important. What i had not talked about with anyone was i strained it pretty bad during the sprint two weeks ago, i was seriously concerned about it. Lotsa RICE and stretching and light easy runs. I wanted no excuses for my half, and if i failed miserably, i woulda just chalked it up to going too hard on the bike, not injury.  That being said, i very rarely pat myself on the back, i am my own worse critic, other than that one post about coaching that went on for about an hour, lol!!! But i freaking nailed this race and am quite happy with the result. That being said, it would not have been as special without knowing all of you and the kind words and encouragement that we give each other on a weekly and daily basis, so thank you all for that!!

Happy Fathers day to those that are Dad's!!!

Hope you recover quickly!

Here's a link to Rudy's report that works: Rudy's Race Report

We really need to sit down and you show me how to do stuff like this, and post pics to your daily log. Us old timers have a hard time with all this computer stuff.

thanks for hyperlinking it!!

How is Shaun feeling??

I agree - Kelly should school us on all this high tech stuff.  I still can't figure out how to post a picture, although the one I put up of Tom Boonen last week worked.  That was done from my work PC, so I can only assume it's different when it comes to my Mac.  Or maybe it's the browser (Firefox)?  Anyway, I'm horrible and I'm usually able to figure stuff out pretty quickly when it comes to computers.

Nice job Rudy!

No need to wear a wetsuit for a 1/4 mile swim leg....right? 

Unless the water is ridiculously cold, no need. 

Good   Thanks!

Morning everyone!

Off to bike for two hours then need to get a run in at some point today.  Still super tired. 

Hoping everyone is having a good training day.
