Member  216  Haymarket, VA |  Subject: RE: kaburns1214 and UHCoog's Mentor Group-ClosedOriginally posted by uhcoog Originally posted by everlong Originally posted by uhcoog Took a heel pretty square at the first buoy. Really knocked me kinda loopy and then I noticed my my goggles were full of water. Kind of a FUBAR'd swim all around. That's the worst when that happens and I would bet it FUBAR'd your bike and run too.
You know my bike was ok. I could have pushed harder out of T1. I didn't realize the wind was at my back and since my HR wasn't pairing with my bike CPU seeing 24+ mph told me I needed to dial it back a little. As far as my run I've been having issues falling into a groove early in runs since IMTX and this one was no different. The run course was 3 loops of 2.1 (my watch says 2.24) miles. My third loop was my strongest. Go figure. Sounds like you made the most of it though, way to go. |

I may have not used it because of forgetting it or the battery being low because it turned on in my bag without my knowing it 3 or 4 times in 3 years and I felt so cheated not having it. During a race I would be loosing my mind. With the data you had you would make the same decisions every time so I'd be happy with that. |

We'll have several nights she sleeps straight through and then we'll get a night like last night where I was in her room every half hour from 10 until 1. |

Member 216 Haymarket, VA | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 and UHCoog's Mentor Group-Closed Finally feeling human again after the Super Spartan so this evening will see me back on my training schedule. Unfortunately I head out of town for my racing on Labor Day, so that will see another interruption in my workouts. |

Pro 4723 CyFair | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 and UHCoog's Mentor Group-Closed Life does tend to mess with the best laid plans. I have quite a few athletes racing a local Oly on Monday that starts less than 2 miles from my front door so I'm packing up the camera and heading over to snap off some pics. |

So this brings up a good question for any of you that travel. How do you get your training in? Obviously getting a run in is easy, just pack your stuff and go out for your workout. How do you do your biking, swimming, or anything else? This new job that I've accepted has me traveling a couple times a quarter to San Francisco for a week or more at a time. I'm trying to figure out the logistics. |

Spin bikes are better than nothing and aim to find one with a pool too. |

Extreme Veteran 3020 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 and UHCoog's Mentor Group-Closed I registered for Half Rev Knoxville a couple days ago  It's on May 18. I just had to get something on my schedule. Oddly enough I'm not antsy at all. I could get used to reading until 11 p.m. and then not getting up until 6:45. I'm down 7 lbs. since my IM so that's another perk to this time off. |

Fun! I'm scheduled through mid April and then I'm not sure what I'm doing next year. I'm sure I'll receive a gentle nudge in one direction or another. |

I'm volunteering at Rev Cedar Point on the 8th. I'm going to sign up for next year's Full Rev. I want to see what it's like to do a flat IM before I go back to MT. |

So considering I'm racing the day registration for IMFL opens, and Cindy would have to be the one to try and register me I just don't see it happening. IMMT, IMLP, IMFL, and Chat are all on the table at this point for 2015 |

I want to do it next September  I tried different methods of begging and manipulation, but it was an emphatic no from my husband. I did convince him to return to IMMT in 2015, so I guess I can't complain too much. |

Extreme Veteran 668 NW Georgia | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 and UHCoog's Mentor Group-Closed I am intrigued by the proximity of Chat, but no way I'm signing up for a second full before I do the first. Right now I have no idea what I will do next year, and I kinda like that. |

I keep looking at different races but can't decide on anything including race distance. |

Member 216 Haymarket, VA | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 and UHCoog's Mentor Group-Closed I was looking at HIM Raleigh for 2014, but after doing a season of sprints and mini sprints only, not sure I'm ready to step up to a HIM by June. Maybe if they have another Augusta in September I'd be ready for that. The Richmond Multisports series has a HIM in September as well, but if I'm going to do a HIM, I'd rather do one put on by the IM series. |

Pro 4723 CyFair | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 and UHCoog's Mentor Group-Closed So I got my training log back on track. Put the last month of workouts in. Mostly because I like the little bar graphs it spits out at me. And yes I know that Training Peaks can analyze my data, but for some reason I have an affinity for this site. |

I have an affinity for this site too. I like seeing the totals for the month and the totals for the year. I just made a book for my children with pictures, race results, and totals. I was shocked to learn that I ran 1,143 miles in 2011! 928.85 in 2012 & 643.3 so far in 2013. Looks like all I did was run that first year...LOL |

I'll take a look at them as well, thanks for the suggestion. |

Once the move is completed I'm going to see what I can do to pull it off. |

Williamsburg was a good HIM but being the first time they had run it there were issues. |

Extreme Veteran 3020 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 and UHCoog's Mentor Group-Closed 2 weeks off is just long enough to establish a new routine. I've loved every minute of my late nights with my husband. I've read a lot (something I wasn't doing this summer because I was just too tired). I have little desire to train right now. I hope that changes once I get back in the groove. I know I need more time off from swimming. I'm just super pissed that I put up a 1:17. My recovery pace in the pool isn't even that slow. I feel as if I worked my a$$ off in the water and it did NOT pay off. I could swim once a week and put up a 1:17 next year. Of course, I got out of the water feeling great (albeit shaky from the adrenaline). Endurance was superb so the swim took nothing away from me. Maybe that's the positive I need to focus on when I think of going to the pool this fall and winter. I just feel as if it's something I can pick up again this winter. I am time limited with my kids so more time running, strength training, riding, and stretching would make more sense. |
