golfpro - 2010-02-27 6:31 PM HI all,

I spent a week in Panama and the vacation time with the family went well. The downside was getting there and coming back. Due to the snow storms in the area, flights were delayed and cancelled and we were concerned on not making our flight leaving Miami. I had a direct flight to Miami I purchased four months ago and the rest of the family was going to fly stand-by (my mom works for Delta).
Since there was no chance in hell my wife and kids were going to get on an airplane that Friday, we rented a car (yes I did!). We left the house at 4:30am, rented the car in Baltimore airport and proceded to drive the 19hr trek. Never again will I do it straight. We arrived in Miami around 11:00pm (45min dinner stop) and our flight left at 10am Sunday morning. Needless to say not enough time to rest.

The week went well during the stay in Panama. The temperature was hot! and humid to top it off. I contemplated the thought of swimming on the deserted beach but the current was tough and no one to keep an eye on me just in case something would happen. I got in a couple of times and before I knew it, the current was taking me out quickly!

I ran a few miles one of the days by a miracle, since I did not wake up with a hangover.
The rest of the days were spent by the pool and beach , plenty of r&r, drinks, and food.

The worst days to fly as a non-rev are Sundays and Mondays. We got back on Sunday and we could not catch a flight out of Miami. We gave up by 9pm and got a hotel room for the night.
The next day was a %$#$%@ grind. We were at the airport all day and stayed another night.
Up at 3am Tuesday and we got out on the first flight heading to Atlanta (6:30). We arrived in Lancaster, PA by 3pm and my arse was in bed by 7:30pm.

I am glad to be back and ready to start the training Monday.

I KENOTT swim - 2010-02-28 10:17 PM I would like to direct the group to Justine's Training Log.  With the DU being a regional race we had a TON of race wheels and fierce competitors.  Justine pulled (3) 7min/miles out of no where to start the race off and followed it up with a solid bike and 2nd run.  Justine won't brag on himself; 5th Clyde in this race, with his personal records all shattered he deserves a lot of credit.

GREAT RACE JUSTIN!

I could use some advice for this crazy relay I am signed up for this coming weekend.

I am running 4 legs over a 33 hour period for a total of 24 miles.  I will run 4-6.8 miles in each leg and I will be getting naps at best, not real sleep  (Sleeping on a gym floor or in a van).

What training would you do this week? (Our team is not racing hard so I am running 9 min / miles throughout - I don't need speed I just need endorance)

What nutrition advice would you have? (the only training comparison I have to this is my century ride on the bike)  I have not attempted to train this many hours within a 2-day span before.
