kaburns1214 Mentor Group - CLOSED (Page 83)

if Rudy is in I'm out

My goal in olys is to run the 10K at my HM goal pace.  Thus, while you are going pretty full out on the bike, it is not like a TT, you need to holdback a bit.  My problem is i find neither HR nor RPE are good indicators of effort for me on the bike.  I really should get a power meter but I am not ready to spend $2000 on a quark or power tap.  Power is clearly the best way to guage effort on the bike because it is absolute, unlike HR or RPE which are more subjective.

No need to re-sign up.  I'm just going to open for a few more people.  I figure everyone who is already here is in so long as they want to continue.

I agree with Rudy.  I think we ought to move the group to the top and start new, so we don't have to dig through so many pages. 

OK -- filled out a new mentor page up top.  I'll let you guys know when it goes live and we can move back up to the top page.  Like I said before, obviously you're all "in."  If you know of anyone who you think should join, let them know as well.

sore loser  ;op

Supposed to get up to 70 tomorrow.  Going for a 10 mile run (lets see how the body and HR hold up) with my nephew riding with me!!! 

Gonna try to a 5k on Sunday, but purely for fun with my nephew (IF the weather holds up . . . rain/lightning)

Thanks for the kudos on the pics. 

Sub 3 was a mini goal.  Really wanted sub 2:45, but you take your victories where you get them.  Honestly think I pushed to hard trying to make up time for crashing.  You live you learn right. 

Kelly I'd LOVE to come out to Martha's Vineyard.  My wife would too.  My parents just sold my grandparents' house in Falmouth due to the ungodly tax burden in Mass.  However Cindy, the wife, is in a wedding in Italy this September soooo traveling costs are a little thin. 

Oh I think I may have roped my brother into triathlon.  My brother and parents live in Miami and I received an email about Miami Man.  I forwarded it over to my Dad and Brother.  One said they're out but would provide room, board, and beer.  The other seems awful interested.  Yay.

HR will likely be higher than normal because the body is adjusting to both running and cooling at the same time.  I would suggest trying the split the difference.  Try to keep your HR mid way between your "normal" cooler weather running HR for the pace and the HR your at when running in the warmer weather.  Eventually your body should adjust and your HR will come down.

1 hour on the trainer in the tank.  gotta do chores, tehn we have little league at 1030.  2 more hours of riding and an hour run this PM.

Lost 7 pounds this week.  of course i had a stomach bug, so probably not a super healthy way of doing so.

Ummm dehydrated?

probably a little, I've been drinking alot of tea and water.  basicaly havent eaten anything in 3 days.  fortunately I have plenty of reserves. 

Meeting Chris Lieto last weekend makes me realize how far I have left to get my body where I want it.  Dude has like zero percent fat.

I'm really looking forward to a nice leisurely ride to Austin next weekend.

Leaving for my TI swim workshop in about an hour.  I'm so excited!

I trained all of my hours (and then some) that were on my training plan.  Strained my knee a bit doing the hill repeats, so I'm not running again until Monday (have another 8-miler scheduled for that day though...LOL).  Looking forward to getting in the open water in May....

He gets paid to have zero percent body fat   No, seriously, all they do is train.  We'd all look like that if we didn't have jobs, children, and other responsibilities. 

Have fun riding to Austin!

TERRIBLE wind today (of course, since I'm on vacation). Calling for gusts in the 50-70mph range today.

I'm either going to work around the house or maybe head to the gym for a swim later, not sure yet. 

Left the house at 7:45 this morning for a ride.  34 degrees.  COLD!!!  but once I got moving it was nice.  Had my toe covers on this time.!!!  Got in 25.4 miles.  Legs felt tired from thursdays 30 miles, but pushed through it. 

Those 3 handfuls of Jolly Rancher Jell Beans last night definitely didn't help matters.  Damn easter candy!!!!

Man I don't know how you guys do it up there. I would turn right around and get back under the covers.

I did a mock Tri this morning. It was also my first OWS. I had a good swim, the water was calm and warm. the wind wasn't bad which is unusal for the west coast of florida. I didn't think to time myself but i put my watch on in the second transition so i was able to time my run, which I did in about just under 20 minutes.

We wait until it warms up.  This morning I'll run at about 9 a.m. and then get on the back around 1 p.m.

Its not 0, its more like 4-5 %, he just looks super super lean.  Its scary that he looks "big" compared to the Ralaerts.

uhcoog,

Sorry for the late congrats on your Olympic.  Great job on the time.  I don't think I could jump out of a boat into shark infested waters in Texas!!

JSKLARZ, did I miss pics of the new bike?

Looks like today is a relaxing day.  Taking the kids on a little trail ride.  Just picked up my soon to be 7 year old a new Specialized Hot Rock mountain bike.  He loves it.  It shifts gears so easy for him.
