Champion  9060    Charlottesville, Virginia |  Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN!LOL after my ride on Sunday I played a game of touch football 3 adults and a bunch of kids. I of course have to cover the 20 something year old. I can barely walk today on Tuesday, not from the ride but from 30-45 mins of touch football.... |

Expert 1231  B'ham | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! Looks like everyone had a great weekend. Nice job on the race Roni (I really wanted to put an "A" before Roni). Good job to the virtual races too! I use Body Glide for running too. Never really had need for it on the bike, but I'm sure that will change as distances increase. I'm looking forward to a short week |

I feel like I better high tail it to the pool to get started. It takes me twice as long as most of you to do the same distance! wow Suzy you weren't kidding about you swim times. I was looking at the recorded times in Google docs and saw it took you over 8 hours to do the 400yds. |

Master 1952 Guelph, Ontario | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! Ok team Tri-athletes. we need to post some good times. Rueb you should be able to jump in the pool and almost touch the other end so your swim time should be -2 minutes right Edited by Redknight 2009-05-26 12:30 PM |
Roni with your abilities and the amount you run your our "Flash" on the pavement. Kim great run time you set for us to beat... Now go do it in the pool and on the bike. Way to go Holly... completed all stages already with great times.| 2009-05-26 12:31 PM in reply to: #2173345 |
Champion 9060 Charlottesville, Virginia | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! Tracy, Just looked at the Savageman Int'l bike course, rode a bunch of those same roads this weekend and didn't realize it. That Blackhawk school road was a fun one, windy, lots of gravel down, then super steep up hill with no momentum. We did a bunch on that New Germany road that is on that course also. Didn't do the Frank Brenneman road off New Germany but that looked super steep and at 30ish miles in glad we wern't doing that road. You've got some skillz girl, no matter what Steve says about you... http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/SavageMan-International-Triathlon-Bike-Course Edited by dalessit 2009-05-26 12:32 PM |

Regular 310 Seymour, IN | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! What a wonderful weekend. Glad everyone returned healthly and safe. Are you all sober yet? Suzy, you may want to check you bike and swim times in the spreadsheets. You say you're slow, but a 8 hour swim and 31 hour ride - I don't think so. On a personal note - I have given up all allergy meds. My throat is a little scratchy, my voice is rough, and my nose a little stuffy, but I can function again. Good to be back with my BT brothers (and sisters). Edited by BigReub 2009-05-26 12:51 PM |

Regular 310 Seymour, IN | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! John, I'm looking forward to the pics. I'm a big wiffle ball fan. I have to honest though, this was actually junk ball. The bats ROCK! Did you play actual wiffle ball rules? Or baseball rules with a wiffle ball (plus throwing at the runner of course)? Yesterday was one of my son's friend/teammate's 10th birthday and it was a "wiffle" ball party. 20 kids played for two hours. They played in a school gym and the principal got the scoreboard controller out so we kept score and everything for them. It was a blast. We, the fathers, were all discussing how many hours did we spend playing wiffle ball, hitting home-runs over the swing set, worn out back yards, covered in mosquito bites,...good times! |

That sounds like a blast. We play wiffle ball rules with a few modifications. |

Mine is getting better as the day goes on Ronnie - Awesome job on the race this weekend, girl you rock!!!!!! John - I choked on my lunch laughing at your bike mishaps.....It's nice to see you kept such a good attitude about it! Hangover wasnt too bad. Obviously, I'm the last person to give advice on getting on your bike w/ shoes already clipped in or even just getting on your bike for that matter. I have heard though that a few races down here don't allow shoes clipped in. I thought about you and Andy yesterday...I noticed the long course at Redman opened back up with 50 more slots. Supposed to be an awesome race. Thought we might have a mini SWBKRUN MG get together. Went and asked the wife if going to OKC a week or two before number three is supposed to arrive would be a problem. She must have had something else on her mind because she just glared at me and walked away. I'll ask her again tonight and let you know what she says.  |

Champion 7163 Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! Hey Reuben--thanks. I was hoping NOT to have to go back to that worksheet, but I updated everything. I sort of feel like my swimming is cheating; OWS in a wetsuit is so much faster than pool swimming, at least for me. No hangover for me to nurse. I am too much of a lightweight. 1 1/2 glass of wine and I am nearly dancing on the table. Give me two and all hell breaks loose.  |

Veteran 458 Greensburg, PA | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! Hi All, I am finally back to work today after about a week and a half off. It was hard to get up this morning and come into the office!! I had a great day yesterday. I ran the local 5k and had a new PR. For those of you who are smoking fast, this will seem incredibly slow, but for me, it is almost 1:30 faster than my previous PR. I did 32:31. Like I said, not fast for most people, but I was happy!! Hope everyone is training hard! Karen |

Veteran 268 Kauai girl now in MIll Creek/Silver Firs | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! Q: What do you call an aspiring triathlete who's told not to swim or run for 2 weeks? A: A depressed cyclist. Finally got into the foot specialist/surgeon about lower calf pain. Walked out with both feet taped to the hilt and orders to keep off them as much as possible, load up on ibuprofen and ice them until orthotics get done (appx 2 weeks) Can't even swim because the water will compromise the bandages. Turns out I was running on collapsing arches and did quite a number on the tendons that tie into my arches. I think it was Tracy who gave me almost that exact treatment advice (ice, ibruprfen) and asked abut getting orthotics - good call Tracy! Anywhoo.... here's the blessing in this. Some of you may recall one of my very early posts about being horrible at running and hating it. Well, after getting the news today, I've been truly sad about not being able to run. Talk about a paradigm shift! My sister said "so are you going to try a different sport and let triathlon go?" I looked at her and said "NOT an option". Despite the pain, this is the best I've ever felt in my life! Doc swears that if I let these heal up and start again with the right foot support, I should be fine. (fingers crosed) One more question: Does poor Team 4 have to keep me? My run time was from a run/walk during the early injury and now there's now way I can run. Can I be cut due to injury and just play cheerleader? |

Extreme Veteran 689 | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! Great job Karen! Shannon, sorry to hear about the injury and the layoff! At least they found out what was wrong. Now you can heal properly and be ready to train 100% in 2 weeks! |

Extreme Veteran 689 | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! I need some advice, do guys generally wear their tri-top under their wetsuit even when both the water temp and the out side temp is going to be around the 50's? My first race is this Sunday and the water temp is going to be 55F and outside temp is going to be from 55-65f during the race. I'm not cold friendly and biking in a wet tri top in cold weather doesn't seem like fun.. |

Champion 7163 Verona WI--Ironman Bike Country! | Subject: RE: SWBKRUN Mentor Group-Closed! TIME TO TRAIN! Karen--nice job! You shaved off nearly :30 per mile and that is huge, especially in a 5K. Well done. Shannon-I'm glad you were able to get diagnosed, but I am wondering the doctor perscribed PT. Custom orthotics are great, but often times there is are some muscle weaknesses or imbalances that should be attacked as well. Just a thought. As a team #4 member, I am happy to have you as a cheerleader or maybe we could just use your swim/bike time and Tony could do some fancy stuff?!? Tony? Swim question for you all, how do you split your time between the OW and the pool during the season? my new tri coach suggested 70/30 pool to OW and we negotiated to 50/50. His belief is endurance is built in the pool and technique is perfected in the OW. What do you think? |

Normally yes you would just wear the tri-top under the wetsuit but tbh, no matter what people say I don't have much trouble getting on my tri-top after swimming, I just make sure it is unzipped and it slips right on. Had to do that in my first tri of the year because the top was so big it was dragging me down so had to swim without it then put it on in transition. Edited by dalessit 2009-05-27 7:28 AM |

His belief is endurance is built in the pool and technique is perfected in the OW. What do you think? I don't think most have the option to do 50/50, I would love to have that much access to OWS. I would imagine most people are like 95/5 even if that much pool/OWS. Though I do agree with your coach that the pool gives you more time to work technique and develop speed, OWS is where you actually get to use what you worked on in the pool. We'll figure something out for Shannon, remember it is an average anyways, and the prize for winning is the jeers from your fellow competitors...  Oh and Team 1 sorry been so busy haven't had a chance to get in my run/bike yet for the challenge, will be doing it this Thursday, weather here is supposed to clear up sometime soon I hope.
