Nailed 100 yards in the pool toady without stopping.  Did it breast stroke but the point is I did it.  At this rate I will be ready for the 400 in May for sure even if I have to float it, lol.  The 100 breast was 3:22, not sure if this is fast or slow nor does it matter yet but it gives me a starting point to work off of.  Only did 400 total but was a hard 400.  Back at it tomorrow.

Leaving the house in 30 minutes for the doc.  I'll be sure to post it up what he said.  I'm itching to get back at it but a lot slower and shorter this time

On a positive note, today is my birthday and I finally hit 200lbs. Start was 285 two years ago.

Burd - 2013-03-06 2:46 PMThe doc has spoken.  Nothing to be worried about.  Lots of fluid around the knee and some tendonitis.  I have to get off the motrin because I would have to take 800 every 4 hours instead put in 2 naproxen(sp?) in the morning and 2 at night.  Have to wear a sleeve on it to reduce the fluids and no running.  I can still swim and got the clearance to bike.  Even if it doesn't hurt give it a minimum of 2 weeks he said.  They are calling to schedule my MRI to clear everything since I have this all planned.  Better safe than sorry.  Turns out he is an ex-triathlete and marathoner.  Gave me some great tips on training

great advice Justin! It takes a while but it will come. It has probably taken me a year to finally feel comfortable with the swim.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. No beer. Race mode is starting. (at least for a few days)

 

Great Swim Alex! It is going to come quickly! just stick too it!

No specific training today, but I played around in the park with my dog and got her good and tired out because we had company over for dinner and I wanted her to be well behaved.

 

As for the questions about the test, I think I have tried to normalize my stomach issues for most of my life, and have had some pretty bad periods of discomfort and inconsistency in my bowels, "Stomach Area". This is what led to the decision for it, it was a live blood analysis by Rocky Mountain Analytical, in the fine print I see that the samples we analyzed at US BIOTEK, Seattle WA...going to have to do some googling after this post now....

 

    I am going to try and stick with the no dairy, no Eggs, according to the test, my intolerance to Gluten is moderate, while off the chart for the other two. So I am going to take it easy on the beers, but I am by no means quitting, I am going to keep them as rewards and go for Quality over Quantity, as well as sampling all gluten free brands I can get my hands on.

I do want my gut to heal, but I am never quitting Beer....Never...

1x2,000 yards in the pool this morning, continuous.

Lap swimming is a strange cross between zen meditation and solitary confinement. It's transcendent drudgery.

x2. I am seriously considering looking at some kind of music system to kill the pain...well as much as possible!

Burd - 2013-03-07 9:11 AM

You think someone still not completely comfortable that over thinks everything would benefit from music also to relax some?  I have a pair of JLab GO headphones with MP3 built in and use them for running since they are waterproof.  They also boast that you can swim with them.  Just wondering if that would do me more harm than good.

thor67 - 2013-03-07 12:11 PM

Just depends on the individual. If you can focus on your technique with the tunes going than no problem. 

Burd - 2013-03-07 12:52 PM First day out on the new bike.  Holy cow road bikes are different.  Just went up and down my street for almost 3.5 mi and they are fast.  Little wobbly but that was to be expected.  Clipping in and out was easier than I imagined.  Gonna have to take more rides to be able to hold my line better.  I'm sure that will come with more time on it.

Burd - 2013-03-07 2:10 PM Here she is.  I thought carbon was going to be out of my price range but found this used.  He took super great care of it.  The only chip in on the crank where his shoe hit it.  He said it was used on a trainer 95% of the time and only outside for maybe 2 weeks total.  Looking at the condition I am inclined to believe him.
