 Davenport, IA |  Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...fullscott1223 - 2010-02-13 11:54 AM Thanks Dan, I wish money was NO object, I will check craigslist. Just ran my goal for Feb. 6mi. Felt good so decided to keep running. Need a new goal for March...maybe 7mi?? That's a goal in itself, just being able to race at that level...When is the qualifing race? Way to meet your goal! That's awesome. The qualifying race is June 19th. I don't know exactly how our local tri earned the distinction of being the qualifier. The great thing about this race is that it was the last race I was able to do last year. The next day I crashed and broke my arm. It's going to feel good to get out there again. |

Veteran  217 Severna Park, MD | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full Thanks Dan! I am looking at 7mi for March's goal, if not sooner. That is awesome that the Sprint Qualifer is in your town and that you have already raced that course. The way you are training should be no problem for you. Where'd the rest of our group go?? |

Wow Dan sounds like you got a solid shot at it! and I am still lurking around, just a  , that i have not gotten in the pool or run for a week, spin class is the only training I got and I do not really have anything to blame it on but me, weather has been nice most days i got my new shoes I have just been wimp out. |

Veteran 217 Severna Park, MD | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full Whato, That is awesome you're right there for the olympics! It is very inspiring, makes training that much more...motivating. The weather here in Maryland..stinks...snow covered streets and cold, no running or biking outdoors for me. I am currently looking for an indoor trainer. Going to the pool this afternoon, looking forward to that. Hitting the gym this am for a short run.

| Edmonton, Alberta | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full Bonnie, Training is like flying to the moon. The hardest part is the first 10,000 feet, after that there's a lot less gravity and it's easier to do the work. Dig in and make sure you fight for the first 10,00 feet whether in the pool, bike or the run. Gravity in training is pulling you into the couch.  Find a buddy to train with you so you're actually going it for someone else.  That may help get through those first 10,000 feet.See you in the pool, or on the bike, or during the run, Whato |

Veteran 217 Severna Park, MD | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full Great job! Keep on track and as Whato said that first 10,000 feet is the hardest, but once you're past it will be easier to do the work. Keep your goals in mind and don't give up. I did my first swimming class yesterday. What a killer! I am only at 500 feet, LOTS of practice needed in the pool. I thought I knew how to swim, I was lifting my head to high, not rotating my shoulders, etc, etc...I was working on techniques and was not counting laps or my stokes, got yelled at for not knowing my laps or stokes. I was just trying to remember what I needed to work on...I just laughed and kept working on keeping my head down. Take care and keep climbing... |

| Edmonton, Alberta | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full I would also recommend reading the book "It's not about the bike" by Lance. Lance needs no second name in our house! Then I recommend you watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QjYx6drVa- I cannot wait for him to do a triathlon! WHAT IS HE ON - his bike...lol. Later, Whato |

Sometimes it can be really tough to get motivated to change your plans for a day. Good luck with the rest of your swims and the week! |

Veteran 217 Severna Park, MD | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full Found an indoor trainer on craigslist. Kurt Kinetic fluid trainer for $100. Used it tonight with a Spinerval DVD was good for a short 30min. workout. Now it is not as good as riding on the road however when the roads are covered with snow and ice it is better than nothing. |

Whato Also, not exactly Lance related, but the DVD "A Ride with George Hincapie" was really good. More about his life than racing. |

Nice! Man, I wish I was in a bigger city sometimes. Craigslist here tends to suck. That is a sweet deal on a KK Fluid Trainer. |

Veteran 217 Severna Park, MD | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full Yes, only for that reason is a bigger city nice. As for running or biking in the area is another story...you have to get up early or get outta the area. I am lucky to have a running/bike trail 3mi for my house. Use the 3mi as a warm up then hit the trail, weekends are usually crowded. I am not running before my swim on Sun. Was dead in the water last week. |

Member 43 Los Angeles | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full so far so good this week, was able to run for 30 min, yesterday got a 2nd spin class for the week tonight. Friday, Saturday and sunday are booked solid with family commitments but will still try to squeeze in some workout time. |

| Edmonton, Alberta | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full Good to hear Bonnie. I had a great run today can't wait to upload it. Felt heavy on the way out but like a feather coming home. My running is beginning to actually feel good. I must be at the 5,000 meter mark now!  |

Veteran 217 Severna Park, MD | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full Great job, Bonnie on staying on course. Keep it up! Whato, I have to admit I was not a fan of running. I am now only up to the 6mi mark and hope to hit 7mi by March. (I don't know what that converts to in meters) but I am actually starting to enjoy running and even considering looking at a 1/2 mary. We shall see. Awesome job to both of you guys...Whato is the weather still mild there?? Our streets are covered with snow and ice  . So far all my training has been indoors, looking forward to spring. |

| Davenport, IA | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full My training, or lack thereof, this week has been entertaining. Was out of town and couldn't find a good way to fit anything in. Got a really good 6mi run in last night...hill repeats. Went to the gym today for my 6:15am swim technique class - canceled. So I guess I will be on the bike for a bit today, maybe a swim later on, and then hot yoga. Swim tomorrow and start building volume again next week. Sounds like you guys are all doing pretty well. Keep up the good work! |
