I completed my Indoor Triathlon at work today. With only 2 runs in the last 2 weeks and no other workouts, my body wasn't prepared. I need to find a way to get back into my workouts.

The indoor triathlon was a 2500 meter row, 2 mile seated bike ride, and a 1 mile walk . I completed it in a total time of 36:28.

The details of each discipline is in my training log.

Lovey

I was hoping to get some views on whether I should race or not:
My very first Tri (sprint distance) is June 20th.  Today is Apr 23 and as of right now I cannot run, I mean, I physically can but I actually cannot sustain a run for more than 800m or so, approx. 4 steps into a run my hr spikes to around 181 and will stay between 185-191 and NOT go down unless I'm walking very slowly for at least 5min.  A sprint is 5km and at this point it feels like it might as well be a full IM because either way I cannot run that.  My swim is ok and my bike is ok.  I stopped my run training for almost 3 weeks now (just getting back into it) due to serious shin splint issues - so bad that I had blue & purple bruising stripes from ankle bone to knee bone on the outside of each leg.   It will be at least another 2 weeks before I can use my orthotics 100% of the time in my shoes to alleviate the problem...


So do I just forget the race and pick one later or do I use it as a learning experience?  What would you do? 


I meant to say that after about 300m (not 4 steps) my heart rate gets to 185-191.  Believe me, this is at an extremely slllooooowww jog, gramas pass me at my "run" speed!!!

Lovey - 2010-04-23 8:08 PM My hubby and I usually share duties so I can work out in the morning while he and the kids sleep. Plus I use to run with my group 2x a week while my kids were in martial arts. They cancelled my kids class and moved them to another one so I have to drop my group runs because I no longer had time to meet them, run and get back. Now I will only have 45 mins if I stay nearby and only once a week. I will be squeezing in a 3 mile run (slow runner) around the business park or ride. I can probably get 6 to 7 miles on my bike. My hubby's was a big help but with his new assignment, he's not available in the week anymore. Lovey

tryin2tri - 2010-04-23 12:05 PM Hello all, it's been hectic lately so training took a bit of a hit but things are still injury free so I'm at least happy for that.  As well, I told my parents about my triathlon training and that went as I expected, just like my KOS days - they know so-and-so that can do my swim training...so-and-so can do my bike maint....I should be doing my running like this....etc. etc. Actually I don't mind, they really do know best (shhh don't tell them I said that though lol).  My dad took me on a bike ride, which was only my 2nd time outside on the bike and it went well, but boy can he kick my a$$ lol, he taught me lots of great usefull things like getting in and out of aero (still wobbly though), we did avoidance drills (in and out of dotted lines on road), we did tight turns, he showed me how to ride in a peleton and the hand signals & commands, etc. etc.  I'm so glad I broke down and told them, I think it will be hugely supportive to have his knowledge to lean on a bit.

Now some comments lol.

Keiren- I'm sooooo jealous of your Caribbean swimming!!!  Our lakes still have ice   No OWS for a while!

Straydog- I love the quote you have at the bottom of your posts, I hear it a lot in the motivational videos I watch when I need an extra boost.  Good luck picking a 20wk program, what type of race are you thinking of ending that with (sprint,oly,HIM?).

KiwiJDRPH- It's raning here too, but since it's not pouring I'm thinking it will be some good weather to train in, it's not realistic for me to expect nice weather where I live so training in less than optimal conditions is definitely beneficial.

Amhabh- 1. I train as follows (don't look at my logs-I haven't been updating on a reg. basis).
Swim: 3hrs/wk    Bike: 5.5hrs/wk     Run: 6.5hrs/wk    Core: 2.5hrs/wk    Strength:  2.5hrs/wk (this is the first to go when I can't find time).
 
2. I ride a Felt B16, Cobb wrist relief bars (I may change out my entire bar set up this fall though), Shimano Ultegra Dura-Ace, Compact Crank (I do a fair bit of hill training), no race wheels yet (will get some in Dec I'm thinking). 

Anyway, I'm actually at work right now so I better do some work.

and your HR doesn't spike on the bike or the swim? Wierd, sounds like your pushing yourself past the shin spint pain on your run? Or your pace is too fast or something. Doesn't make sense to me. Jenny? Fernando? Caleb?

dojorun01 - 2010-04-24 5:04 PM

Went on a 28 mile Bike ride with the club, I hit a wall around mile 15. I ran hard yesterday and don't think I had enough time to recover. I also started having severe pain in my left knee around mile 15. It's on the top of the knee, I've iced it and took some tylenol. Has anyone else experienced this?

jsnowash - 2010-04-25 2:24 PM I was thinking the same thing, which is why I asked how she was feeling when she sees the HR spike. If she doesn't FEEL like her hearts about to pound out of her chest, it could be an issue with the HR monitor or maybe the strap slipping out of place.... pure speculation on my part, though.....
