Veteran 170 Plano, TX | Subject: RE: TexasMPGal's Motivated Mentor Group (Full) Congrats to Gator fans. Sooners had the game in their grasp a couple of times and couldn't close it out. Props to Gators defense. I may go swim today to help hide the tears.  |

Sooners had the game in their grasp a couple of times and couldn't close it out. Props to Gators defense. I may go swim today to help hide the tears. Swimming sounds like good therapy. I have seen many stickers and magnets that say things like "Running/Triathlon is cheaper than therapy" and it's true. I don't think anyone is racing this weekend, at least from what I've seen in logs. I was thinking a few months ago about doing a 20 miler that is this Sunday, but am SO glad I'm not signed up for it cause I'm not quite to that distance yet and it would've been too soon before my marathon. I do have some distance to cover this weekend though!! |

Elite 4372 Connecticut | Subject: RE: TexasMPGal's Motivated Mentor Group (Full) Hey all! I spent today at the doctor with Liam, my 4 year old. He has had a cough for about two weeks that he just couldn't shake. Turns out he has fluid in his lungs and a double ear infection!  Oops! I guess I should have taken him to the doctor sooner but he didn't feel sick at all! No fever, no pain, just a yucky cough. After the doctor appointment we had to pick up his med's bu, the pharmacy was too crowded. So we went and got Liam's hair cut and had lunch. By that point, it was time for him to go to school. (I know, he's sick but acting normal. He wanted to go to school) I dropped him off and went back to the pharmacy and sat there until 2:17. Ugh!! So, no gym for me today. No green in my graph. I am hoping to get there tomorrow morning before the snow starts flying! Wish me luck! |

Elite 2998 Fishers, Indiana | Subject: RE: TexasMPGal's Motivated Mentor Group (Full) Erica, ahh, I hope your son feels better soon, especially with your husband just recently leaving. So today I have my LONG run and we have a wind advisory, like 25-30mph sustained winds. UGH...I hate living in a wind tunnel...this is why I live on my trainer sometimes when it comes to cycling. It is supposed to lessen up around noon, so I'll head out then. I'm looking at maybe re-opening the group here. Lots of folks jumped on board initially--but haven't stopped in or put anything in their logs. I don't intend to "drop" anyone, as they might reappear and if so, we're here for you...but if there are some others out there that need an active group, then I want to have that available. Any thoughts? How is everyone doing? How is everyone's consistency? Consistency is really a key to training and goal achievement! |

I wish our other members would pop up and chat with us! I got to the gym this morning. I biked for an hour! Finally got some green in my graph! I actually enjoyed it too. I missed the sweat dripping off me as I pedal forever and don't go anywhere! Okay, maybe not but I sure did feel good when I got off. Now I need to carry over till next week. Consistency is right....I need to work on that!

I haven't been part of a group on here before, so do what you think is best for the group! Congrats on the green in your graph Erica! I seriously need some purple in mine. That means I actually have to go to the pool... wow I can be lazy sometimes We had a b-day slumber party here last night -- 7 girls in the sixth grade. I used to be able to hang out and play games with them, now they just want to turn up the music and dance and talk about boys. I don't remember going through so many changes in one year growing up... but then again I was just a boy that cared about getting dirty outside and finding a game of hoops, baseball or football. |

Expert 844 | Subject: RE: TexasMPGal's Motivated Mentor Group (Full) Long day for me. Drove 4 hours to my kids shi#t hometown to watch my youngest play hoops. But I did get a trainer ride in!! I vote to re-open....Not that I mind the personal attention, but I think Erica and I are kinda "experienced" beginners too. |

Otherwise I have water in my ears all day and it drives me nuts. Ear plugs and a swim cap are a must. I have tried the silicone moldable ones but I couldn't get a good seal. So, I use the rubber ones. These: (1172-1.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 1172-1.jpg (2KB - 12 downloads) |

HARDCandy - 2009-01-11 7:10 PM Hello, this is my first post but I have been lurking around over the last month. I signed up a few weeks ago to join a mentor group but before I had been processed through it filled up. I am new, new, new to triathlon training. I have started my training and just ran a 2 mile race with our local running club. Well yes, I am open and any level of tri experience, from zero to many is welcome, so WELCOME!! The only rules are, pop in every now in then, give us access to your logs so we can encourage you, and ASK QUESTIONS! We have a variety of experience and goals here in the group--and there is no turning down Texans! If you could, give us a little bit about yourself (check out page 1 and you can learn about us) and jump right in with questions and we'll do what we can to help you have a BLAST your first tri season!! |

| Member 14 | Subject: RE: TexasMPGal's Motivated Mentor Group (OPEN AGAIN, JUMP ON IN!) Hi, Brittany! If you have room, I would like to join your group. Name:Gatorbait/Diana (yes, as the screen name implies, Go Gators!) Story: I have played sports all of my life. Played D-I ice hockey in college. Started running in graduate school (went to UF for my Ph.D.), then got into triathlon two years ago. I didn't know how to swim, so my running parter taught me. I tried a local sprint and got totally hooked! I completed two HIMs last season, and am signed up for my first full in 2009 (IMWI). I still play ice hockey a lot (I am a goalie), and am a tae kwon do martial artist. I am a twenty-seven year old college professor. Family Status: Married to my best friend for a little over two years. We have a furry white cat and two chickens. Current Training: I am on the BT HIM 20-week plan in preparation for Oceanside 70.3. I am finding it very demanding, specifically the number of bike hours it requires. I live in the Northeast and hate riding the trainer. After Oceanside, I will bridge to the IM plan. 2009 Races: Colchester half marathon, Oceanside 70.3, Rhode Island 70.3, IM Wisconsin, Baltimore Marathon, and a few local sprints over the summer (my town has a low key series bi weekly. I will also throw in a few more local half marathons, as I can't think of a better way to spend a weekend morning! Thanks for reading! |

Elite 2998 Fishers, Indiana | Subject: RE: TexasMPGal's Motivated Mentor Group (OPEN AGAIN, JUMP ON IN!) Meg- Great details! Wow, 6' tall...at my short 5'3" that just seems towering! Your normal stride can probably cover 2-3 of mine! Diana- You're in!! I'm quite sure Kirk (gator22) won't mind another Gator fan in the group, though Wes (wkirbytri) our OU fan may object a little.

Expert 844 | Subject: RE: TexasMPGal's Motivated Mentor Group (OPEN AGAIN, JUMP ON IN!) Sweet. New blood. Go Gators! Since my Giants lost yesterday and the Red Sox are doomed this season to play second fiddle to the free spending Yankees, I shall take consolation in Tim Tebow's return to college! How have you guys/gals felt about the BT training plans? I am currently on a HIM plan from the book Training Plans for Multisport Athletes . It is good, but a lot of swimming. I might switch to that BT plan. Swimming is my most comfortable sport. I should run more too, but I need recovery and get beat up on my runs because I am so heavy (245). My current plan usually calls for 2 rides a week, with one being longer. I am wondering if I switch to a more bike intensive plan that some of that bike fitness might translate to running ???? |
