GOOD LUCK RACERS!!  Quite the list. 

All this swim talk has me in a mood to post.  Got back in the pool for the first time in months last night to test my shoulder (sprained AC joint).  A little uncomfortable, but after 500 with the best form I could muster at a slow speed (and 50 of kick - a new record) it seemed OK.  Gonna try coming back and do it gradually - not usually my strong suit...  We shall see.

And Ben, I'm sure you know the saying: "When life gives you red velvet donut holes..."

We have there half ironman racers this weekend.  For stalking purposes:

  • Adam is 426 in IM Raleigh.
  • Barbara is ... I'm guessing 559? ... in IM Victoria (only two Barbara's from the US on the bib list, hope that I guess correctly!)
  • Kirsten, are you stalkable? Regardless, her results will be here

Yay, glad you are able to get back into the pool - at least to set a new kick record

Thanks for the best wishes, everyone. I've been doing what I can only call an "aggressive taper" this week, which basically means sleeping instead of training

Thanks so much to this group for providing such great support and motivation during training! I really value being a member of this group, even if I mostly lurk rather than post.

Hi Chris! I am waving at you from Nokomis. I ate lunch at Manasota key today (my home place). Tomorrow I hope to get to the beach in Nokomis before the rains hit. Maybe even a run. It was so humid this morning I thought my gill slits opened up! I was not ready for that until July or so. When I return in the fall I hope to be here a week or so and I want you to show me the places to mountain bike. or any biking.

Have a great race everyone.

I am feeling much much better and so I am running. More of a supported training run than a race and the plan is to do a third lap to make it 30k

It was a quick turn around this time or I would have made plans. Fly down Thursday afternoon and drive back with Mom and her cat on Sunday early early am. In October... game on!

Tough run today. I thought I was over being sick on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday but perhaps not completely.

I did the whole distance with mum which was great and if I hadn't been with her I probably would have stopped after the first lap. I had a couple of coughing fits, was amazingly hot the whole way and just felt like I was running through molasses. There was no way I could do another 10k so we headed back to the hotel for a shower and lunch.

The run sucked but it was great to do it with my mum.

Running while sick....not recommended. But nice you were able to get it in with Mom. Mine has never shown any interest in running. She's still an avid cyclist, though, who puts in several hours a week....at age 79!

Just finished a 14 hour week of training, and next week is our last week of school here. Probably only another teacher will understand what that means....I think between work and training, I have put in close to 100 hours. Arrrgh! Ready for what Adam called, "Aggressive taper." Sleeping sounds really, really good!

So after 2 HMs in 2 weeks E has a massive blister on the side of the ball of her foot. What are y'alls recommendations for healing it while still running for the 4 weeks until our marathon?

Does she pop and drain it or not?

If it's massive and keeping her from training or wearing shoes comfortably, then yes, I'd go ahead and pop it. I usually heat up a needle point with a lighter or over a gas burner on the stove, drain the blister, and clean it with anti-bacterial stuff. Let it dry out before wearing socks or shoes. It will be more painful initially if you pop it, but it should heal quickly if kept clean and dry. Possible she might need to take a day off running if it's really sore after popping.

Sorry you had a tough run, but glad you got to run with your mother! Re the massive blister on K's foot, I agree with Karen. I sometimes get one kind of on the side of my foot near the ball, caused by the bunion I have on that foot, and I pop it when it gets big. I've never had an issue with being able to run afterward, but can't guarantee that for her! I just recently heard of a product called run goo. It's supposed to be the bomb. I bought it, but can't confirm its bombness yet!

Adam is off the bike and it looks like he is running strong. It's very hot here and he's maintaining at decent pace through the halfway point on the run.

Go Adam!

I believe that "our Barbara" is halfway thought the bike in the Victoria 70.3.

Go Barbara!
