Member  43  Los Angeles |  Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...fullWhato - 2010-02-26 8:22 PM Hi Scott the snow was awesome! Had some of the best skiing of my life. My son is now faster than me and I can't catch him. I didn't start skiing until I was 26. One of the guys (a good friend) that was with us this trip almost made the Canadian Free Style team a few years back. Boy could he ski! He was helping Liam a lot and by the end of day three it was all over. Liam is now just way too fast for me. I'm in for the peach challenge! I figured out what it was. lol it is really and odd mix of emotions when your kid surpasses you in some way, your both extremly proud and little sad as your kinda left behind. such is life, it sure beat the alternative. |

Glad to see you are in for the challenge. My biggest one will be the swim. Need to get to the pool more to find my rhythm in the water. Skiing is an awesome leg workout even if your son beats you...  Dan, need advise on a new bike computer. In taking my bike over to the LBS it fell over and broke the piece where the zip tie holds it to the fork. It was an older Vetta computer anyway but wanted to wait until the Vetta broke. Looking for a wireless one, with candence and possibly HR. Any advise?? Thanks. March "Peach Challenge" how many days of peach can you do?? I'm a sucker for my Garmin 305 with the cadence meter. Time, distance, heartrate, pace, speed, can plan workouts into it, can upload it straight into your logs here. I wouldn't trade it for the world. Plus you can use it on the run, too. My preferred tool also. I don't have the bike cadence, however, March has my birthday in it. So, I let my wife know that was exactly what I wanted. |

| Davenport, IA | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full Ok. The Challenge starts tomorrow. Remember to do no more than what feels good to you. There's nothing wrong with taking a day to just do stretching, or a different sport, or something to give your body a break from SBR if you need it. |

Veteran 217 Severna Park, MD | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full We're off to a good start...if you need to change up your training from SBR use as Dan said yoga, strength training or even pushups and situps. I did manage another session on the trainer. 45min sprint intervals, not too bad. I have to travel to NC for work tomorrow and will either get up at 0330 to ride to 30min or see what time I get home. Whato, thanks for the info on your Garmin, sounds nice. |

| Edmonton, Alberta | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full Used my new paddles today http://www.tyr.com/shop/catch%C2%AE-paddle-p-559-c-68_69.htmlI'm thinking this is going to really build strength and improve my technique. I also got flippers - small ones http://www.tyr.com/shop/flexfins%E2%84%A2-p-160-c-68_69.html I was surprised by how much, a little amount of additional feet speed made to arm cadence. The shape of the flipper also aided in the role of the body, which was cool. I really need to figure out a more detailed interval schedule for my swimming. Catch you later....

Been drinking tea to avoid the major withdrawal issues, but I always forget how much this process sucks. I hear you! I have been free of junk food for a while now and I just can't put it in my mouth. I think, some people think I am so disciplined, however, I am now at the point I just can't eat it. I can smell the sugar in some stuff and I just feel sick thinking about it. lol I may be obsessive about what goes into the body/temple. |

Veteran 217 Severna Park, MD | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full Well day 3 and I am feeling the lack of sleep. Was only able to do pushups 3x and situps 3x. Getting rest for tomorrow and will be going for a run. Also tomorrow will be signing up at the local pool to get in extra pool time. |

I'm hoping it will be for me also. Swim class at 6:15am, then driving 5.5 hours to visit friends and bike in Southern Illinois for 4 days. I'm planning on having some shot legs when I come back. |

Figured I could share this with you guys too: I haven't had a pop/soda/soda pop/coke (whatever you want to call it) this week. I just had to let the dog back in from outside. It's my roommate's dog...golden retriever, he's trained to bring beers out of the fridge if you say "bartender" and hold your hand like you're ready for a drink. So, I'm just sitting here on the computer, haven't payed attention to Rocky (that's the dog) in about 15 minutes, and he brings me the last diet Mt. Dew that's been tempting me from the back porch for the last 4 days. It's like he wants me to fail. But I just put it back out there and went on with my day. |

Veteran 217 Severna Park, MD | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full That is awesome! I need to train my dog to make my protein drinks...LOL. Enjoy your weekend Dan, way to avoid the temptation. I see Whato has already had his swim training in. I wish I could have trained this morning, now will have to wait till after work. Seems like everyone has had a very good first week. Enjoy your weekend and keep training! |

| Edmonton, Alberta | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full Good for you Dan - resist the pop. How was the Birthday - not too many calories I hope.  I had a reasonable swim this morning and a wonderful bike with the group. And, this afternoon I have a full massage! Oh boy does my body want this to happen!  Should aid with the recovery and to think that tomorrow is my rest day! Only stretching although the family may go for a ride together, which would be great.Take care all, Whato |

I don't even bother thinking about calories at this point, my swim coach (who qualified for and raced at Kona) said I'm already getting to lean for this time of year. So I figure it's game on for the time being. I'm going to be jealous of that massage by this afternoon. I have a big ride planned sometime today. Hills. Been a long time since I've done hills. Enjoy your recovery day, and an easy ride with the family. |

Enjoy the ride Dan and climb those hills, sounds like a great workout. Nice job Whato with training 2x a day. You deserve a rest day! Have fun with the family. |

Member 43 Los Angeles | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full Ready for new week. In the training plans do you include distant & time traveled during your warm ups & cool downs? For me they are both just a slower pace but I still covering distance. I am trying plan ahead and need to plan blocks of time for training. |

Veteran 217 Severna Park, MD | Subject: RE: Sprint_DA's Mentor Group...full Okay, I was out of service for 2 days...I am feeling better. Happy Birthday - Bonnie! Window shopping is very exhausting, carrying bags (strength training), walking to all those stores (cardio) you had a very productive day... I was fine until I saw the Maryland basketball game last night. After the way they played I am sick again...LOL. Going to do a light run today wish me well. |
