Veteran  275  |  Subject: RE: Trishie's Tri Chicks - CLOSED!Maria, What do you do on campus? I am the Director of Residence Life. I have my hands full. LOL I forgot to post about my upcoming races. Here is the upcoming schedule 1/31- Ocala Half Marathon 2/13- Sweetheat 12K 2/27- Cantrell 5K 3/6- Snickers Half Marathon 6/27- Irongirl Sprint TRI LOL Yes it is true, I have nothing planned between march 6th and June 27th. I will most likely pick up some short distance road races in that time (5-10K). During that time I will also be doing a lot of open water swims with my group of tri friends. Just tons of prep time for the upcoming tri season. I have until Sept to train for the Half Iron so these early months will be a lot of skill work and base building. |

She is a hottie and I love that you went with hot pink tape ! Just a heads up: it will get dirty ... but oh well, new tape is like $8. I went with white tape because it looked so good... until the second time I rode with it. ha! And a race in a couple of weeks --- how are you feeling? Is this your first HM? Pamela: happy weekend |
If you have a chance to practice swimming in open water before your race (some races have practice swims), TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT ! Your first OWS can be a little nerve wracking and if you can get in some practice first you'll be better off... and if you can't, well... you'll be okay. Sounds like the swimming is going better -- just keep getting in that pool and practicing !| 2010-01-24 6:09 AM in reply to: #2576738 |
Expert 1118 , North Carolina | Subject: RE: Trishie's Tri Chicks - CLOSED! Steph - I work in Human Resources as an analyst. I "accidentally" got in a 57.5 mile HILLY bike loop yesterday! It was supposed to be a 48 mile loop but my training partner took a wrong turn and I was just following along on auto pilot so that added more distance. The hills were merciless. I am SO thankful for a day of rest. Trishie - I noticed your race log goes back to May of 2008. Is that when you started racing or just when you started logging? I wondered how long you were training and racing prior to your IM. What IM plan did you use and how long was the specific IM training. I'm hoping to work towards IMFL in 2011. |

What IM plan did you use and how long was the specific IM training. I'm hoping to work towards IMFL in 2011. I started training for tris in May 2008 but I've been running marathons since 2005. .. so I was doing distance running for 4 years prior to IMCOZ and tris for 2 years prior to IMCOZ. I used the BT Intermediate training program. It was a 20 week program and it was the perfect amount of training. Prior to that I trained for a HIM, took about a week off, and then started IM training. I know some people do 36 week training programs, but that would just burn me out. Toward the end of training I was so ready to just RACE ! |

| 15 | Subject: RE: Trishie's Tri Chicks - CLOSED! Good morning everyone!!!! Been away for way to long.... going to try to make more time to get on here because reading through all of your messages is very inspirational and motivating. I hope you all had a good weekend. I tried to get as much training into this past weekend as I could which is typical for what I try to do every weekend. I struggle more with the biking as I am on a bike indoors at our local YMCA and I am looking forward to the day when this OHIO weather breaks and I can finally be outdoors. I haven't been on a bike outdoors in years.... not sure when it even was so of course I'm excited yet apprehensive. As far as my first race I'm not sure yet... need to sit down and get my calendar out and see what other races I can do before Iron Girl in Atlanta in June. Not sure how many there will be around here until maybe March. There a several 5Ks I'd like to do again this year as last year as my first year participating in those and I enjoyed them. Wondering if I could pull off a 10K with all this other training but just not sure about that! Hope everyone has an awesome week!!!! Take care. Tara |

Veteran 275 | Subject: RE: Trishie's Tri Chicks - CLOSED! Trish- This will be my 9th Half Marathon. It was supposed to have been my 10th but I missed one two weeks ago because of the Funeral. SO I guess that will make Sinckers my 10th Half. (Well actually it is 8th Half. I did one race that was longer than a half but shorter than a marathon so I just call it a half. it was actually a 16 mile "Fun Run" as part of Marathon and 50K race series. LOL) Well the guaranteed ship date for my bike is this Friday. I am hoping that it will get shipped by Wednesday because then that mean I get to help build it on Friday before I head out for the race. If not I will help build it some time next week. Happy Dance here Last week training went well. It is the first full week of Training I have had since mid November. Feels nice to be back to a full week of training. Totall last week I ran just under 19 miles, Biked 33 miles, 1 Spin Class, 2 swim workouts and some abs. Goal of this week is to take it easy for this weekends race. Numbers wise: - 3 Swims (Mon, Wed, Fri) - 3 Easy Runs (Mon, Tues, Thurs- Likely all less than 1.5 - 2 miles each) - Maybe 1 spinning class (That is a big maybe but most likely not in order to save the legs) - 2 Abs sessions - Half Marathon on Sunday - Possible 5K on Saturday (Not racing it, Just running it super easy with my Stepmom and Mom who are run/walking it. Think 14-15min pace) Wow that sounds like a lot more than it really is. |

| 40 | Subject: RE: Trishie's Tri Chicks - CLOSED! ugh, long time no post. but i've been enjoying reading what everyone else has to say! my current, very up-in-the-air race calendar: march 21: nyc half marathon april: another half, i hope? or perhaps a du, if there's anything going on near me. may 16: im 70.3 orlando. how i feel after my first 70.3 will greatly greatly influence the rest of my calendar. june: probably an oly late in the month. july: maybe musselman in geneva ny, or maybe i'll do barb's race (half) in my hometown of santa rosa (yay visits to family in cali!!!)...but there are some great oly options near me as well. august: too many options. totally depends on how i feel at this point in my race season. sept: hopefully either toughman half in westchester ny, or im 70.3 syracuse oct: maybe mightyman half in montauk, ny. i also have a friend who is very into cyclocross races, and he's been bugging me to give one a try, so i might zero in on cycling late in the season and try out a couple cross races, just for kicks. i think i'm being a bit ambitious, but i'd really like to do 2-3 halfs this season, barring injury/fatigue. and throw in a couple oly's, for training purposes (and just to see if i can better my times a wee bit), but not as A-races. but again, it all really depends on how i feel in may. thankfully there are a ton of fun options on the eastern seaboard. hooray! training is going well, so far. i spent quite a bit of cash and picked up some quality winter cycling gear, and went on my first winter ride last weekend. it was a little cold, but felt sooooo goooood to not be in spin class. and i can't wait to get outside again this weekend!!! i'm already burning the candle at both ends a little bit, with regard to incorporating training into my (already busy) life. i haven't been getting enough sleep, and i can feel it when i hit the gym. not sure exactly what i can cut back on to get those needed hours of rest, but...i'm working on it. BALANCE is the name of my 2010 game. keep up all the good work, ladies! these are the tough months...soon the season will be upon us, we'll have more daylight hours, and the motivation to train will be abundant! (at least, that's what i keep telling myself.) erika ps. stef: HOTTTTT BIKE!!! |

Veteran 275 | Subject: RE: Trishie's Tri Chicks - CLOSED! Many many thanks for the lovely comments on the new bike. I can't wait to see it! Well it is Tuesday and I have already abridged my goals for the week LOL. I decided to drop a swim and a run. I just really wanted to make sure I was ok for Sunday. So in place of today's run I did Abs and I dropped yesterdays swim because it would have been the second workout of the day. Do any of you watch The Biggest Loser? This season is crazy |

Hey gang, Been running the corporate race in SFO this week, flat out from breakfast meetings starting at 7:30 AM to dog and pony rah rah rallies until 10 PM. Hmmm...doesn't sound like I love my job right now, but I really do. Home, tired, squeezed in one measly two mile run on the hotel treadmill Tuesday...need SLEEP! Then back on track. Maybe I can get up at 5 AM tomorow for a run...we'll see (yawn) Pamela |

Veteran 275 | Subject: RE: Trishie's Tri Chicks - CLOSED! Typically I try to stay away from engineered nutirtion but I know that is going to be next to impossible with the Half Iron training. Previously we have used HEED, Hammer Gels and I also use a product called Monkey Shake for recovery. (Protein mix used in smoothies) However we just bought some Infint and I am eager to try it. We chose both their Iron Distance blend and their Recovery blend. |

| 15 | Subject: RE: Trishie's Tri Chicks - CLOSED! Hello Ladies.... Hope everyone has had a great week! I've been crazy busy organizing a career day for our high school students.... all 500 of them and 32 speakers offering 4 sessions each! So been rather preoccupied with that and trying to keep up with my own kid's activities! It was nice to get a run and swim in with one of my iron girl pals.... so nice when you have someone going along with you. Waiting for my first tri bottoms and top to arrive in the mail.... I'm hoping they will fit well as I'm 6 foot tall and usually don't order things online because it's hard to find things long enough... but we'll see! Well hope you all have a great weekend.... Keep up the fantastic workouts! You all amaze me!!!!Tara |

Pro 5169 Burbs | Subject: RE: Trishie's Tri Chicks - CLOSED! maria40nc - 2010-01-29 3:23 PM Is Infinit a protein powder? It usually has protein in it, but what's awesome about it is that its fully customized. You take a little "quiz" about your weight, how much you sweat, length of training sessions, cramping, etc. and they make the mix thats right for you.... it makes a lot of sense since we all have different nutritional needs. I used Infinit exclusivly on the bike for IM (I had PayDay bars for fun/ diff. taste but I couldn't choke them down on race day!) Great company, too - highly reccomend !! |
