Regular ![]() ![]() | ![]() Thank you for the SN info and advice. Where is all the banter / chat? We only need 8-9hrs sleep rather than 24hrs. Edited by blackchr05 2011-06-30 8:55 AM |

![]() blackchr05 - 2011-06-30 9:52 AM Thank you for the SN info and advice. Where is all the banter / chat? We only need 8-9hrs sleep rather than 24hrs. I suspect we'll see a surge in banter/ chat tomorrow when everyone flips over their calendar and they see that little green box precariously sitting there. ![]() |

![]() There are also LOTS of lurkers. People who type stuff like this: I'm mostly just posting so that I get the updates in my email inbox as message boards are taboo at work, but I can read the threads in the emails. I am doing IMLP next summer. My first IM in my 5th year of tris. Can't wait. They read all these posts but contribute nothing. They're too cool to post I guess. Sad. ![]() |

Sad. ![]() Lots of people watch this thread and others without feeling comfortable posting. No worries, just remember the stuff you are all saying is benefiting a lot of others, which is a very good thing imho. Indeed, Fred. I am currently getting alot of benefit from the post-mortem talk on the CDA thread. Primarily in the area of "failed" execution. You guys should check it out if you haven't. Some good food for thought heading into our race! |

"banter" Well if we have any chance of matching or beating the CDA thread some more people need to step up the BANTER!! C'mon you WALLFLOWERS!!! How is Everyone Feeling? I am tired. Close to exhausted. I think 1/4 of my nutritional intake right now is Gatorade. I am just plowing through the stuff. But like Westchester Triathlete says, and I keep reminding myself: I'M TRAINING FOR A F*CKING IRONMAN!!! ![]() |

I was feeling fatigued mentally/physically earlier in the week but after a killer long swim last night and a solid run this morning I am getting amped up! I have a 6 hour bike + 1 hour run on Saturday then a 3 hour run Sunday. BRING IT!!

Veteran![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I've done a couple rockin' technical swims, and a pretty decent speed short brick this week. Watching the CDA coverage last weekend definitely helped me get a little more excitement back. Not in freak out mode right now, but I'm sure like DC said. Once the calendar page flips over... |

Extreme Veteran![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I'll try to help by chiming in from here on out........I got really distracted this Spring with my coaching business and also having lost a whole month to bronchitis.....but after this week's workouts, I can honestly say that I think I will be just fine for IMLP....!!!!! Sunday - 102 miles on the bike Monday - long swim before teaching Spinning Tuesday - weeknight brick with interval segments on the bike Wednesday - 2.5 hour run for 15.4 miles....nice and steady.... Thursday (today) - it's Track Thursday...time to teach tired muscles to run efficiently Friday - off Saturday- short, fast run..... Sunday - 8 very hilly miles on the run Monday - 120 miles coming on the bike....
So far I have nailed the workouts that have happened and feel nice and strong (finally recovered!) nd building strenght and confidence with each completed workout!!! Good to feel like I'M BACK!!!! |

Regular![]() ![]() | ![]() Better banter... How is Everyone Feeling? I am tired. Close to exhausted. I think 1/4 of my nutritional intake right now is Gatorade. I am glad i have a Costco near by and a car. Gatorade, Acai drinks and fruit bought by the bucket load. I blend the random fruits and make tropical concoctions. Currently there has been no vodka added but after the race, there will be, to the best tasting one. I plan to make my millions from the new cocktail called "HTFU".

Red run special foods bag

Veteran![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() So, halfway through my long bike a couple of days ago, my FSA Aerobar cracks at the seam (stock bars on Cervelo P2). Thankfully there is a rivet on the bottom holding in the bar, but having a wobbly aerobar that has my shifter on the end makes for a not-so-fun ride... Since it is under warranty, I bring it back to the shop I got it from and they tell me that they had a "falling out" with Cervelo (which explains the deal I got on the bike last September) but will warranty the bars through FSA. However, they need to take the bars off, send them back to WA, then wait for the RMA to come back (since they don't stock them). PLUS, they wanted to charge me for labor for this! Told me "that's the way it is"... So here I am just a few weeks out from IMLP, like I needed something else to freak me out Well, I got the RMA number and took my bike rather than leave it. One call to FSA, sent them a copy of my receipt, and told them I needed to have them for IMLP. I just received the new aerobars in hand today, just two days later! Kind of sad the bike shop did not go out of their way for stuff like this. Lost my future business. Kudos to FSA for superb customer service and for giving me one less thing to stress over! Now to get them back on the bike today for a 60m ride this afternoon! |

New user![]() ![]() | ![]() I had my freakout about a week ago but I'm finally feeling encouraged! I'm back to having strong bikes and runs and have started to acclimate to hills again after coming home from school.
Tomorrow I have a HUGE day! 4000 yard swim, 5 hr. bike and a 2 hour and 10 min run!! Time to get it done! |

![]() Damn, I just looked at some of the CDA results and the amount of hours logged does not always equal the appropriate race result. |

Member![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() How am I feeling? Like I've raced a ton of ironmans in training! LOL I'm ready for taper to begin. I've got one more race this Saturday before Placid then it's three weeks of biding my time. I'm doing everything and anything I can to stay healthy this month. Lots of hand sanitizer and soap! I said it a week or so ago and I'll say it again, aside from freshening up I feel ready. I'm pumped to do this. It's all about the positivity! |

Regular![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I've gotten 5.5 hours on the trainer over the past three days. Also some fast walking. Hopefully doc will clear me to start running tomorrow. Swimming? Who knows when. Incisions still need to heal before that is allowed. Pic below of new splints, likely to be worn if I can toe the start line.

Member![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I LOVE the heat training advice. I can't get out of work for workouts during the week but every workout I do on the weekend or a day off is in the same time frame I'll be s/r/b at placid. I'd rather know it in training then feel it for the first time on race day. My most fun training experiences have come during hill repeat workouts in the pouring rain too, nothing will teach you to descend better! |
