Expert  1037   Portland, OR |  Subject: RE: swbkrun with us!!! - Closed19.3 mph in my 30 minute time trial today! Not quite what I was expecting because I felt REALLY good going into it, and I had my timing down on my nutrition, but it was so gosh darn hot in there that I just couldn't handle it. HR was 180+, and it is never that high. Tried to bribe the guy next to me to go slower so that I would look better, but apparently he didn't think that was as funny as I did! Really cool to meet Dave today, too! Thanks for setting it all up! |

Just to give everyone a sense of how far I have to go with my swimming here is the video from my 1st and only Tri in July. Its the last lap of the swim(did all 800m with the technique in the vid lol) and my transition to the bike. Enjoy the comedy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bx4mO8pJrA Awesome attitude!

What's the scoop with the woman in high heels at the end of the pool? was she your timer? or your personal cheering section? |

That was priceless and I'm sure are going to look back on that later this year and truly appreciate how much you have improved. For what its worth, I spent some time in that position during my first ever Oly in 2009 and again in my first Oly in 2010. It got better after that, but I still have soooooo much room for improvement on the swim. It's nice to know you can only get faster. |

I'vebeen talking with a local swim coach but I'd love to hear thoughts or comments from the MG. Thanks for sharing. Definitely book some time with that swim coach. I know better than to try and offer any critique. |

Master 1952 Guelph, Ontario | Subject: RE: swbkrun with us!!! - Closed Probably would be even if I was better on what to do when I come up on people or really settled into a draft. Hey Tony I thought we covered that in one of our previous seasons here. When coming up on a person you firmly grab their ankle, pull them under the water and swim right over top of them Edited by Redknight 2011-01-30 8:29 AM |

Master 1952 Guelph, Ontario | Subject: RE: swbkrun with us!!! - Closed tahrens - 2011-01-28 4:05 PM Speaking of swimming here is my problem. For the past 2 weeks the pool has been very busy in the evenings and I've had to share lanes. The problem is, the people I'm sharing with want to swim circle. That has really messed up my workouts. It is very hard to do timed drills and rest breaks when someone else is swimming up on you or too close in front. I'm curious what other people do in these situations? I empathize with you Sugar. I find it annoying when you have to wait for someone when you are halfway up a length. Also it is hard to get into a good rhythm when trying to do a distance swim. I just make the best of it and if I can't do a good distance swim I'll switch and do some drills or something else so that I do not get so frustrated. I am actually fairly lucky with having a flexible schedule that I can go during the day and it is not quite as busy. Also remember SUGAR. You won't melt. get in there and swim baby swim.

Next week I'll be hitting the pool with the hubby and a video camera. All last year my ow swim times SUCKED!!!!! It was very frustrating since I couldn't pinpoint what I was doing wrong. I think I just fell into too lazy of a groove in open water and didn't push myself hard enough. That is something I am hoping to improve this year. If I'm not out of the water in 1:15 at Canada I'll kill myself!!! (Actually, I don't care about the time. I just want to beat Trevor  )My plan going in, is to give you a kiss on the beach for good luck, and then kick your goggles off 100 m in. Just so I can get a bit of a head start.  This is making the assumption you will be ahead of Sugar 100M in ?????? |

Master 1952 Guelph, Ontario | Subject: RE: swbkrun with us!!! - Closed DougRob - 2011-01-28 4:59 PM OK more swim talk. After yesterday's 2525 yds of dwimming I had 2200 on tap today. The set was WU: 4 x 100, 4 x 50 catch up drills, 4 x 50 kick, MS: 6 x 100 with 2 sets of 3 decending, 12 x50 (with 25 hard and 25 easy), THEN 100 for time and 100 CD. Needless to say after 4525 yds in the past 30 hours that 100 for time was NOT a record. It was somewhere btwn 1:30 and 1:35. It HURT! I could not get my googles off quick and focus so i am not sure of the exact time. All my swims for january are done. 1 run, about 65 miles of biking and one strength session to go. I might try to get an hour of yoga in too. Hey Doug what is the 2 set of 3 descending. Not sure just what you mean. Sounds like it would be a good workout though. |

Master 1952 Guelph, Ontario | Subject: RE: swbkrun with us!!! - Closed Havin'Fun - 2011-01-28 5:38 PM All my ows are much slower than my pool swims. I have never touched my pool splits in any race. I think it's basically that when I'm in the pool training I give it everything I've got - love to push myself. In the ows in races I am thinking about the bike and run coming up and I think I hold back. One of these days I'm going to let it all loose and see what happens I once heard someone say when you are in the OWS portion of a race only think about the swim or you will mess it up. Don't start thinking about the bike until you are out of the water. Same applies to being on the bike and thinking about the run. Don't think about it until you are near the end of the bike. |

The pools of sweat under the bikes and the bags of ice inside peoples attire backs Erica's point about it being really hot even with the fans. The really cool part was that Mike Reilly from Ironman announcing fame mc'ed the last 30 minute segment of the TTT with his ipod play list. Probably a 100+ people cheering on 16 people on computrainers.....and the team that won came from a mile behind in the last segment and thier rider averaged 24.5 mph for then entire 30 minutes (Tony, I think he averaged 335 watts on a hilly course). God he was an animal. (He ran a 2:40 marathon last weekend at the indoor marathon up here....I mean really....get a job!!!) I also got to spend about a 1/2 hour with Patrick from EN and got my entire schedule for 2011 set for training. Fun to get excited about the season already....even though we are expecting 18 inches of snow in the next 48 hours. Suzy, you left just in time! Hope everybody has a great weekend. |

The descending means that each 100 in the set is done faster than the last, e.g., easy, moderate then hard. I am off line for then next few hours as I am about to do 2.5 hours on the computrainer riding through Calgary! |

How many people are in the lane? were you there first? When there are two of us, I just tell the person I want to split the lane or they will be frustrated with how slow I swim. In Master's, I just have to suck it up and do the best I can with two other people. Like Rob, I try to go to the pool when everyone else is working. 99% of the time, I'm solo. Now that you're job free (or aren't u?), could you try that? |

Unbelievable the wattage some of those guys were putting out. I didn't even watch mine because I've never used watts before, so that number meant nothing to me, other than to point out how many fewer I was pushing than those teams in particular! Ryan was pumped that he was in the 230-240 range. I don't have any data from my Garmin because it went berserk. It didn't beep for a mile until 5 minutes in, and it kept reading my mph as 0.

Please excuse his banter and the hoards of people lapping me. I'vebeen talking with a local swim coach but I'd love to hear thoughts or comments from the MG. From what I could see your form looks pretty good. Occasionally you lift one arm less than the other arm. It would be good to see your form from the ned of the lane, going away and coming back. Also would be good to see under water (but without the special equipment is hard). Over all you seem to be doing things right. |

Awesome attitude! Please have your first one this year filmed. It will be great to compare. |
