jarvy01 - 2012-07-01 2:54 PM 2:40 in my olympic today.  1st F 30-34 (obviously a small, local field), and 4th OA.  I had a craptastic swim (psyched myself out once I saw that it was a 2 lap course that looked loooooong), kick bike, and decent run (for me).  It was 90+ out, and I am very beat.  Swam with the kids in the lake for about an hour after the race.  I think I'm going to go take a nap.  Kids are tired from 4 hours of outdoor activity in the heat, so they will be joining me.  

2:40 is great!! Congrats! Looking forward to your report! Enjoy your nap.

That's awesome Jen.  Congrats.

 

I'm fine.  Knocked me off the road to the right and into a nice mud puddle as it was raining pretty good at that point.  Already cleaned the bike, need to clean the chain, and I may have to take it in to see why it's stuck in the small ring.

Glad you weren't hurt.

Motorists suck. I know a guy who got knocked out the same way that you got knocked off the road. I had a truck buzz me last week for no reason when he had the entire road to give me some space and I was actually only 6 inch off the grass as it was. This morning this guy lays on his hom coming up behind us on a pretty wide road and again me were as far right as possible riding single file. He had his windows down so as he pass I told him to pull the F over and all he did was give us the bird out of his sun roof. Total chicken bleep.

Glad you're ok.

Great job especially in that heat.

Question - what causes bloating during a race?  I seem to have this during the run portion of my olys, and I'm not quite sure why.  

Also, why all the water retention in the few days after a race?  I seem to retain about 4 lbs. of fluid and look like 12 weeks pregnant again.  It's gross.  

I did the flexibility section of my athletic yoga dvd this morning, and I feel soooo much better.  Really stretched everything out.  I'm taking the younger boys to the pool this morning, and then I hope to catch a few winks this afternoon.  All that time in the heat yesterday left me feeling really fatigued.  It looks like it's going to be another hot week.  This summer is crazy.  

I don't think think I took in too much sports drink on the bike.  I did take in a gel without water as I was running out of T2.  Could that cause it?  Only water during aid stations on the run (there were only 2 stations, and they offered water or Heed).  I won't drink Heed because it's just plain nasty, and I really only wanted water then anyway.  

I don't think so.  That said I don't like taking in nutrition until I settle into a rhythm on the run.  Just a personal preference though.  And yes, HEED is nasty.

Here is my June numbers. I was suppose to do the duathlon on Saturday but it got canceled do to the storm damage around the coaches house. Not that I was complaining because we had some cleanup to do as well around ours. Stay safe and hydrated everyone. My month begins today...

Bloating and water retention are two seprate things.  Bloating is likely caused by no getting in enough electrolytes (e.g. drinking just water and having gels with a no or low electrolyte profile). 

Carrie is right on water retention.  When you race / train hard you cause lots of little micro adhesions in your muscle tissues and, which inflames as part of he healing process, thus you retain water.

The issue is when you have a banned substance (e.g. clenbuteral) any indication of the substance in the blood stream is enough to trigger a positive test.  So, the amount in the bloodstream/urine stream may be miniscule BUT if its at all detectable it results in a postive test. 

IMO it's hard to get clen in your system w/o knowing it's going into your system since it's by script or gray market.

And how quickly do you think we'll see the proliferation of non vented cycling helmets in triathlon?

Or tainted supplement.

We already do.  Look at aero helmets -- definately going in that direction.

Yeah, I'll give you that.  There have been several fat burners in the last decade that when tested have been shown to have mystery ingredients that weren't listed on the label.  Probably why they actually worked LOL.

So remember when Bryan got banned a short time ago?

I just noticed that Fred D has Bryan's pic as his avatar LOL!

Hey Jen.  Tried this last night and it was awesome:

Short run this morning.  I had to come into the office early but I get to leave early too. 

Scott - That recipe is something I would make  Were they any good?  I made a Mexican 2 bean soup in the crockpot yesterday, which turned out to be keeper.  Crockpots on Mondays and Wednesdays because we're busy driving the kids to swim practices and lessons.

Bike/run this morning.  Legs felt dead and tired.  Hopefully tomorrow's swim will help.  Since it's the 4th and my husband is off work, I don't have to leave for the gym until 6.
