I SECOND the motion.  I was going to try to squeeze the run in this weekend,  but another week would be great.

x4 - I might be able to have a better ride if I don't work outsided moving stuff all day first.  That and anything to give me more conditioning time before i do my 5k "run"  1 or 2 weeks is fine...

This made me laugh out loud!!  We do not have children and neither me nor my husband want children.  Sometimes I feel kind of selfish for feeling this way, but we are very happy!  Actually, a long time ago, when my cousin was pregnant, I threatened my husband if he ever did that to me!!  So, long story short, that better not be the reason!  Besides, I am too old for that now!

Suzy - I always breath to my right (I know, work on the bilateral breathing!).  Sometimes I do feel like I have water in my right ear.  I was thinking about trying an ear plug in at least that ear.  I didn't know any one who actually used them and wondered if they really helped.  Hearing that they do, I will try that next time!  Thanks.

I did go swimming this morning.  When I woke up, I stayed in bed for about 10 minutes arguing with myself.  I kept telling myself to just get up and go, but then I just kept thinking that I didn't want to get sick again!!  Finally I got up and went.  I took it slow and easy.  Really slow!!  I felt pretty good.  A couple times I thought maybe I was feeling a little dizzy, but I actually think it was in my head!!  I think I will try the earplug thing next time.  I do have medicine for my vertigo, but I definitely do not want to take that because I will fall asleep by the second lap.  Does dramamine make you sleepy?

Good luck to every one racing!  I have no objections to extending our Tri - it has been horribly rainy here too and all my rides this week have on the trainer so far!!

That has been my ID/user name for just about everything for going on 15 years (kinda sad, huh?)!!! When I started law school in '95 I was moving to live alone. I got a cat to keep me company. Her name is Gadget (Yes, I still have her). Anyway, the first time in law school the I needed an ID for something, I couldn't think of what to use. Combining those two things, one of my friends suggested Gadgetlaw. It does seem rather silly now, but it is just what I have always used!! Not nearly as exciting as you expected, is it ??

I figured you were a patent lawyer, which is what I think Doug is also.

Dude are you stalking me?  That place is right down the street from my house.  Not sure I have ever seen crawfish in there though.  We used to go out and get them all the time when I briefly lived in Jacksonville, FL.

N. Pollard is very close to my house also.

BTW, we are doing a crawfish boil tomorrow or sunday now...

NICE!!!  Were you able to get em from that joint by you?

Hey everyone. I am back in the USA! Got no training in this past week and I feel like a slug. I am going to try and swim tomorrow AM and hopefully do a faster 400. With the one week extenstion for the challange leaves me with a problem. My first tri is 6/7. I was not going to do too much this week, just some Slow and easy workouts and then rest. Maybe I'll use my 12 at the tri for my time on the bike. Of course that ssumes I would be faster on race day after the swim. Hmm... don't know what I am going to do.

Good luck tomorrow, everyone who is racing.

Doug

Thx Suz...I did take a look at it online this afternoon....Looked like it was about $40 CDN for the 25 serving tub. I went on the US site and it was $35-40 US. So it seemed comparable. I may order myself a tub as a trial tonight as I pack!!

orange,lemon-lime or fruit punch?

EDIT>>>>I ordered Fruit Punch....Suzy your bad. You make me spend money!! HA! Have a good night.

I think we were going to extend for 2 weeks until the 14th or something like that.

How is everyone's weekend going?  Mine is off to a great start.  Woke up early and got a solid 40 mile bike ride in.  Now I am hanging with the baby while the wife is getting a manicure and pedicue.  A solid work out and brownie points to boot, all before 11:00.  It doesn't get much better than this.

Well I got out in the neighborhood pool this AM. Over all not good. Sorry Team 1 I did not lower my swim time. I put on my wetsuit and did swim the first 100 in 1:22, a record for me. However, it was too warm in the water. I took it off and was slower. Not just that but I got really bad cramps in my calfs and could only swim 1100 yds. before I has to quit. When I got out I had a wicked headache too.

Does anyone know if any of this could be the effect of long air travel? I did not get nay workouts this past week and that may have played a part too. Just wondering. I have know where to go but up right?

Oh well, got go do stuff to prepare for my son's 9th birthday party today. The actually birthday is tuseday, but we have his friends sleeping over tonight.

Hope you're all doing well, Let's hear your progress.

Doug

Doug: Sounds like it could have been dehydration or electrolyte imbalance. Were you drinking some sports drink? Making sure to get lots of fluid? I'm not sure how air travel affects this, but the heat definitely makes fluid and electrolyte, especially sodium, replacement really important.

Good luck to all our racers this weekend!

Cramps could be due to dehydration.  As a veteran flyer, you know how dry it can be in airplanes.  If you are not carrying fluid you can get way behind.  I also think sitting for long periods of times give you a lot of stiffness you need to work out through a good stretching program.

Did my 2nd brick of the week, a 35m ride followed by a 2.5m run.  It wasn't bad.  It has me thinking that next weeks tri will be bearable, even though it is my first Oly ever.
