Last week was not a good training week for me.  Life got in the way and even though it was a recovery week, my volume was too low.  Then to top it all off, I ended up with a cold.  I'm feeling better today, but will be traveling at the end of this week.  Arggggg!!  School is out in a few days, so that should help--more rest AND more training!!!

I have my first tri on June 25th in Warsaw, IN.  This season is just a "getting my feet wet" season.  No "A" race planned.  I would like to do an Olympic distance in September--that's the goal anyway.

Favorite song to run to:  Pump It, by the Black Eyed Peas.

Okay, David....does your rr really say that you swam with no suit?!?

Pics or it didn't happen.

tricrazy - 2011-05-24 5:02 AM Need some advice about training while sick.  I rarely get sick so I feel pretty crappy even though it is probably something relatively minor.  I woke up this morning with a sore throat, low grade fever, achey muscles, and just generally feel like crap.  I am supposed to do my long run today but I can't imagine going out today.  How long do you take off or recommend taking off whenb you feel this way?

I have experience with this and it is the way I roll on the bike.  I mixed unflavored Sustained Energy, gels and a couple of salt sticks with X amount of water.  I do this for HIMs and even did for IM last year.  I fuel every 15' starting on 15' and ending with 15' left to go until the run.  For HIM's that means roughly 12oz of concentrate or 1oz per feeding. The key is making sure you ingest enough water with each fueling.  For me that is 2 sips of water to every sip of the concentrate.  I also drink water throughout the 15' before the next feeding. I have a podium quest front mount so one side is plain H20 and the other side is the concentrate.  When I hit an aid station all I do is fill water.  My goal is 30g CHO per hour, based on my 101lbs.  My goal is 20oz of H20 per hour. 

My secret formula includes esperesso and vanilla gel because when the solution gets warm it tastes like sweetened coffee instead of gritty barf.

I plan to experiment a little with the concentration level to get even more CHOs in me.  To date, I don't eat solids, but I might try a 1/2 PBJ early in the bike/run training as well.  I did it last year with some success.

As a result of the above, I really carry very little on me.

PS. I have a similar problem with BT right now.  What browser do you use? do you have compatability view on?  Still struggling to fixe the issue.

If anybody sees my MOJO laying around, please pick it up and return it to me!  Life has just been crazy busy for the last couple of weeks ......

I don't think there is any set formula... listen to your body for sure. No training with fevers for sure. And anything below the neck is a no-no too. Rest, drink water, and take it day by day. But feel better FAST!!!!

And my daughter is amazing!!!!!!! She rocked her first 5K, coming in around 32:23. Awesome! She was the first girl to finish from her school (out of 3rd to 5th graders -- she's in 3rd grade).  I harped and harped on her to hold back early on and she was perfect. She flew up the first hill like crazy, the felt it a bit at the top. We took 2-3 short walk breaks, but ran up all of the hills. This girl oozes love and affection and she was saying the nicest things out there -- I made it a point to remember them but now I can't. Doesn't matter, the message was always the same (how lucky she is to have me, how even Seattle is smaller than her love for me, etc.). Around 2.7 miles we were at 28:00 and she said, "I really want to finish by 30 minutes!" I told her that wasn't happening. At 2.9 miles I told her, "Now is the time to leave it all out here. If you have anything in you, let it all out." ZOOOM! She was off and I was not staying with her, ha!! She raced it all the way in to the finish and was just spent at the end. GOOD GIRL!! 

I am the super-duper proud mama today!!!

Having never biked in a velodrome before it was crazy the steepness of those banks...

FAMILY STATUS: Married for 22 years to Gary (gslye here on bt), We have two daughters, 23 and 21years old, and a new baby grandson (almost 3 months)! I travel with Gary, around the Pacific Northwest in our RV, for his job as a power system electrician.

CURRENT TRAINING: Mostly running and haven't really been sticking with a training plan. I had a stress fracture last year at the end of February while in early training for IMCDA and have struggled to get back into a steady training routine since then. My plan is to get back to swimming and biking a couple of times a week, while continuing run training for the races I'm already signed up for. Hopefully, I'll be able to get in a local sprint or oly sometime toward the end of Summer.

2010  RACES: Snow Joke Half Marathon (Seeley Lake, MT) in February, Columbia Power Marathon (Hood River, OR) and Tri-Cities Marathon (Richland, WA) on back to back weekends in October, and Outer Banks Marathon (NC) in November.

2011 RACES:  Redding Marathon in January, Antelope Island Buffalo Run 25k in March. Registered for: Cda Marathon 5/31, ET 51k (Rachel, Nevada) 8/13, Kauai Marathon 9/4 

 

I look forward to getting to know those of you that I don't already, and I'm so happy to be back. This is an awesome group and I've missed you all! Here's a pic of my new little grandson:
