Extreme Veteran  541   Virginny |  Subject: RE: Hashers and Mashers Part 2 - OPENThanks everyone. Gary - Back is feeling tight/achy, mostly on left. Feel like I might try the pool again tomorrow. Going to try stretches ransick suggested. Joe - I started out with a heart rate monitor, but also ditched it when I felt like I more or less knew what I was doing. Would like to have a Garmin though. Maybe steal my hubby's on weekends... But I am a creature of habit and only run certain routes that I have mapped in BT already. The drunk driver is a medical doctor with 3 kids, who lost his wife in a car accident some years ago. Tragic all around. He stopped and tried to assist her and called the ambulance. He has been charged with DUI and involuntary manslaughter. Addiction is a terrible disease. The good news from here is that my son is fine and the ortho doc thinks it was just a viral infection, which sometimes happens in kids, and so there's nothing to worry about. I let him watch mickey mouse while icing his knee and now he is constantly saying, "I think I need more icing Mommy"! so he can get more screen time. Stinker. |

I was really hoping the driver responsible for the accident would be appropriately charged and dealt with. But, then we learn his story and it is even more of a tragedy. Not much of a consolation but it was good that he stayed and tried to help. Last night after I read your post about the accident and visited the facebook page friends of ours in Calgary, Alberta emailed to tell us about the same accident. I don't know how they heard of it but maybe the triathlon community has brought us all a lot closer together. If your low back is tight/achey then it is less strain and more muscle spasm so treat yourself to a massage - 1 hour and no talking during the massage just relax and enjoy it and some "Icy Hot". If you don't have the time to get to a massage therapist's office then get hubby to do it (for atleast 20 minutes - still no talking) at home. Edited by wenceslasz 2014-01-15 9:11 PM |

| 135 windsor, Ontario | Subject: RE: Hashers and Mashers Part 2 - OPEN Training going well. My biggest issue is that I ALWAYS have to go to the bathroom 10 minutes into running, no matter what I do beforehand. Bit of a pain in the butt, no pun intended. |

| 82 | Subject: RE: Hashers and Mashers Part 2 - OPEN Good Morning! I would like to join this group! My name is Kyle 26 single, no kids, no excuses right! I did a sprint triathlon two summers ago, last summer I did a two day 220 km bike ride! My goals are primarily fitness and wieght loss! Currently tipping the scale at 240 lbs, would like to get down to 200 this summer. I got lots of compliments last year on my hill climbing last year do just imagine what I could do 40 lbs lighter. I am signed up for a sprint on June 8, 2014 and the same 220 km ride on August 8, 2013 Just had a tattoo touched up so will be resuming swim training hopefully next week! I wasn't very good at logging last year! But this a new year! So hopefully I will hit some high mileage! |

Member 285 Cypress, Texas | Subject: RE: Hashers and Mashers Part 2 - OPEN Trying this again this year after I fell off the wagon midseason. NAME: Markus STORY: Been trying to do a triathlon for 5 or 6 years now and seems like life gets in the way every single year. Between adding to the family and injuries the first few years, last year was wasted with trying to figure out some issues with my peripheral nerves and autonomous system that were finally diagnosed after 9 months and countless doctors with Guillain Barre Syndrome (it's an autoimmune disease). Now that I seem to be able to do things again I want to give it another shot this year and hopefully be spared from major life events and injuries/sickness. FAMILY STATUS: married with three daughters (17, 14 and 1 1/2) and a 3 year old son CURRENT TRAINING: Started walking/running yesterday. Nothing definite put on the schedule yet. 2014 RACES: 1 or 2 sprints. Nothing picked yet WEIGHTLOSS: I'm right around 180-190 at the moment. Not a huge concern for me. 10-20 lbs will fall off once I get more serious Edited by johnthecat 2014-01-16 2:35 PM |

GBS is not cool and very familiar with it affects you down to up. Your recovery is actually fast and good timing you have good months ahead of you and all the sprints are scheduled in town.... Goodluck!!!! |

| 53 | Subject: RE: Hashers and Mashers Part 2 - OPEN Thanks for doing the monthly stats. I really need to step it up! Do you only factor in the swim, bike, and run hours in the monthly totals? Just curious because I have been strength training like a gym rat lately due to all of this crappy weather. |

Yeah, historically we only consider SBR for the stats. |

Do you only factor in the swim, bike, and run hours in the monthly totals? Just curious because I have been strength training like a gym rat lately due to all of this crappy weather. That's the competitor we all know!!!! LOL! I emulated Joe's format when I took over, and that did not include strength training. Probably because it could skew the multisport totals. For example, if someone does 8 hours a week in the gym, that could push them up in the overall standings, even if they were not really emphasizing swim, bike, or run. Not sure that's what would be most motivating to people. I'm open to people's suggestions and will do what people want, either way. Let me know, everybody. |

Veteran 493 Chicago, Illinois | Subject: RE: Hashers and Mashers Part 2 - OPEN Originally posted by PsyTri Yeah, I took over for Sarah and it's always been SBR only. I've always thought about it the same way as Psy noted. One of my coworkers used to be a bodybuilder, before she had a kid last year she'd have dominated the time part of our stats, but she couldn't swim, bike, or run worth a damn, let alone do an actual tri. I know sport and gym work has its place, but for the purposes of the stats it's always been SBR only. It's up to Psy though, it's his deal now.Originally posted by TRIal_of_miles Thanks for doing the monthly stats. I really need to step it up!

Master 2484 St. Louis | Subject: RE: Hashers and Mashers Part 2 - CLOSED I agree it's up to Gary (Psy). He who does the stats makes up the rules. Speaking of stats, looks like my streak with the running trophy is coming to an end. Good work everyone! |

You can reasonably expect this problem to gradually go away as you get in better shape. As an aside - maybe have a look at what you're eating with an eye to how much fibre you're eating in a day. |

Extreme Veteran 1704 Penticton, BC | Subject: RE: Hashers and Mashers Part 2 - OPEN Hi Kyle, My wife and I flew to Edmonton last Sept then drove to Vermilion (just west of Lloydminster) for a wedding. From what I saw I'd love to take my bike back out there to ride some of the paved back roads. Looked like they could be fun with lots of rolling hills and some good winds as well I imagine. |

| 82 | Subject: RE: Hashers and Mashers Part 2 - OPEN Hey Guys just got home from work camp, they just had a crappy bike so I finally started to run again on the dread mill! it's been too long! But I did a total of 5.5 miles over the three days! But as soon as I got home today I joyishly hopped on my trailer and pounded out 45 min ride! 20 km Going to work on back logging this week work outs! Last week I was riding my bike with out a computer so I have no mileage! |

Extreme Veteran 1704 Penticton, BC | Subject: RE: Hashers and Mashers Part 2 - OPEN Welcome back Markus. About your GBS - glad you atleast know what you're fighting. I hope we can see you successfully through a couple events this year. Tay and Greg - way to go on your stats. Keep up the good work. Gary - really appreciate your posting the stats. This time it caught me by surprise - I forgot it was time for them again. I went to my cycling again tonight hoping that after Tuesday's 20min TT we would have a slightly easier session. No such luck! In effect we did two 20 min TT tonight. By the end of the second 20 minute set I was sweating so hard I couldn't believe it. Twenty minutes after the class I was still breathing harder than normal which is really unusual for me. |

[/QUOTE Yeah its great I live actually outside of Edmonton a place called Spruce Grove, And I just so happen to live on top of a double set of those rolling hills! Hence why I get compliments on my hill climbing! Yeah it's a great place for riding except our season is quite short unless you are truly HAF, i see a few winter riders. Friends with one in fact but he only comutes about 5km compared to my 50 km comute that I have made a few times in the summer. And the roads and hills get better to the west. |
