stevebradley - 2010-03-05 7:55 AM TRACEY again - And reading your post to Mandy, I think you're poised to be the official poster girl for Total Immersion. You talk the talk AND, it seems, walk the walk! (Ride the glide?)

latestarter - 2010-03-04 2:54 PM TRACEY/DIANE,

That's one thing I have no problem with - doing a run/walk in a race.  Alot of people think it is some sort of failure if you can't run the whole race, and that is just not true.  I remember one of the BT coaches said - 'what's your goal? a fast race or saying you ran the 10km w/o walking?   If you want a fast race, do a walk/run combo."

Anne, thanks for this good advice.  I suspect I will have to walk part of the 5K given my sciatica flareup but it would be nice to end it not viewing it as a failure.

I'm thinking a shin lock and a foot massage???

TRACEY -

I hate to say I told you so, but.........I TOLD YOU SO!!

Fabulous job on the swim, that is a huge physical/mental breakthrough! It will be very interesting to see how your TI session affects your swimming. At the likely level of the presentation they'll be doing, you can't expect any focus on speed (which isn't the TI focus, anyhow), but how you feel in the water, and how you respond to moving through it, should be affected after the clinic.

I don't think I've said this before, but the swim venue for the Timberman sprint is very user-friendly. If you look at the maps you'll see that it goes out disagonally a short ways, then across, then back in. One is always very close to shore, and for a right-side breather you can practically see the expressions of the people all along the beach. On the other hand, left-side breathers get the view of the White Mountains to the north. Bilateral breathers? WIN/WIN!!

I'm still weighing the trip to the Multisport event in --- what, two weeks? Yikes! I guess I ought to review it and see what I'm in for. I'm sure I didn't sign up for any clinics; maybe some seminars, was all. Wanna think about doing a short run along the Charles on the Memorial Drive walk/jog path? (The thing is at MIT, isn't it?) Just an easy mile or two or so? Let me know!

Hi,

Wetsuit report:

I tried my wetsuit (sleeveless) for the 1st time today.  Did 500 yds at 2:22/100 yds.  That compares to 2:35/100 yds which was my fastest without the wetsuit. I am very happy!

My progression (500 yds):
March 2009     3:10/100
August 2009   2:43/100
Feb  2010        2:35/100
March 2010      2:22/100 (with wetsuit)

Progress is slow but sure.

Denise

So SORRY I've been missing in action here. Wow there's a lot to read for me over the weekend. I just got overwhelmed by a mixture of work and private whirlwind of things to do, leaving me NO TIME for this place and you guys, which I missed a lot!

HOpe everyone is doing well, I have not caught up with posts, but will attempt that during this weekend.

Thank you so much for the messages of concern, no I was not affected by a "real" weather event here in Portugal, just a figurative one. Training is going quite good, still focusing a lot on the running as I've got a few running events planned. First one is this Sunday, a hilly 10k for which I am not really prepared (I'd call it a C or a B race), but then, on the 21st comes the Lisbon EDP half-marathon, and that's a B or even an A for me, trying to run it between 1h25m and 1h30m. This I think I am on track for, as long as I stay injury-free.
