Expert 1566 | Subject: RE: Razorxp Group Is CLOSED Erin - Those are some really good suggestions to use the available video resources on this site and YouTube. It might not make sense when you are watching them but just focus on ONE motion or stroke at a time at each practice and it should work. |

Member 19 springfield il | Subject: RE: Razorxp Group Is CLOSED Hi! Just have to say, I really enjoyed reading the last series of posts. Erin, I spent most of my life in small towns so I truly understand your challenges. Your focus is wonderful and I have no doubt of your success! I also appreciate the advice to use what you have and grow from there. We used to call it " grow where your planted". It reminds me to do the best I can each day. As someone who is "finacially challenged" at this time, I find it easy to get worried about the "how" and it can interfere with doing what I can. I expect to join at the bronze level on BT in mid Jan and thus have access to some of those great videos. Scott, thanks for sharing the completer/competitor info. I think I am struggling because I actually want to compete but I need to start with completing. Having said that I've always know that my biggest competitor was myself. Somethings don't change  Good news, my family is showing signs of being supportive LOL. My husband is the best! But my kids either think I'm crazy (and want dad to do something LOL) or are convinced I'm going to get hurt. While I'm not sure their wrong; this feels good and right! So I continue LOL, my son is in my camp now. If they show up for race day, you'll know I won them all over :DFor New Years Eve, Springfield Area Arts Council is hosting an community wide celebration with tons of activities, and performances, venues etc. and it's only $12 for adults, all kinds of kid and family stuff. www.springfieldartsco.org if you are in the area! Not sure we will make it to midnight but looking forward to celebrating a new beginning. Happy 2011 to all of you One more thing! David, you are doing such a great job with this group. Your a natural coach/mentor and thanks for your efforts, volunteering and whatever frustrations we but through in the coming months!! |

Veteran 446 | Subject: RE: Razorxp Group Is CLOSED mary- with your positive attitude you will be able to conquer anythting you put your mind to. once your family sees what you are doing and understands why they will be 100% behind you. i have really enjoyed getting to know everyone and it feels like we have known each other for a while. all of you motivate me. |

Expert 1325 Findlay, OH | Subject: RE: Razorxp Group Is CLOSED Caleb that stinks, hopefully its the 24 hr version that passes quickly. Nothing wrong with that Deb for NYE, sometime those are the best. Good goal Tim STAY HEALTHY Scott thats perfect I just got a new wheel and powermeter so I need another disk wheel. Thank You Mary, that is nice to hear. I never know if you guys are getting what you want out of this (please don't forget this is my 1st venture into mentoring). As always I am open for suggestions. :-) That is great news on the family front always helps to have support from everywhere. |

Thanks for the input. You will be glad. If you got the trainer and the block for the front for $150 you got a good deal. |

Extreme Veteran 1700 Normal, Ill. | Subject: RE: Razorxp Group Is CLOSED I did a hard high cadence on the bike tonight. 2 sets of 5 mins @ 85% @ 100 rpm, 5 min rest, then 3 X 90 secs @ 105% @110 rpm then finished with another 5 min @ 85% @ 100 rpm. 70 mins total. No IT band problems at all. Had massage therapy before the ride. Loving the Computrainer...it makes everything so damn precise and its actually fun watching the screen to see what's coming and how long it lasts. No more looking at a stop watch for intervals... Very cool deal. Good day, swimming in the morning, bike this evening. Tomorrow is my rest day. Movie and date night. Edited by IceManScott 2010-12-30 11:28 PM |

Expert 1325 Findlay, OH | Subject: RE: Razorxp Group Is CLOSED robburkett - 2010-12-31 11:04 AM Forgive me fellow BTer's for I have sinned. It's been two days since my last workout... LOL, sometimes life just gets in the way. If we were professional triathletes we would be upset with youl.... Just get ready for a great 2011. Scott, the computrainer is the best piece of equipment you can buy. It does not allow you to cheat, if your workout should be 200watt then you better keep 200 for the entire course. I started using a power meter last year and got a new one last this month and its the same for the road. So many people get caught up on speed but its a irrelevant number as you could be into a wind/down wind/in a pack. There are days that 20mph seems slow and some days it feels like I'm working hard. I'm off for a run going 3 with dog then a couple more by myself for alittle more pace. Weather is 51 (windy but warm). Be safe everyone. Edited by razorxp 2010-12-31 11:47 AM |

Expert 1566 | Subject: RE: Razorxp Group Is CLOSED A Computrainer is definitley on my list of equipment to buy someday but I figure I need to get a decent bike first so it will most likely be a few years until I can afford one. I got an awesome workout in today and ended a good year on a good note. I felt great and I could have stayed at the gym all day. It's funny the gym was packed today - must be people getting an early jump on their new years resolutions-haha I can always tell its that time when all the ellipticals and sit down bikes are packed. Only have to deal with the full parking lots, lockers rooms and fitness area until 2nd week of January then they start dropping like flies - haha. |

Expert 1566 | Subject: RE: Razorxp Group Is CLOSED Scott - I also use the neti pot but only when I am sick. Do you use it when you are not sick as a preventative? I never thought of using it that way. If so how often do you use it? IceManScott - 2010-12-29 6:19 PM Dave that is a great match analogy. D3 is great. I take it plus a multi, potassium and calcium for muscle firing, C for a disease fighter, glucosomine for joint health, betalinine to assimilate lactic acid plus claritin. I also use a neti pot. I've only had one minor cold in 2.5 years. |

They are great but expensive, If I had a tight budget I would get a power meter as you can use that on the trainer and on the road. You can pick up a wired one for a decent price (about 300-500 used). I know the feeling about the gym being packed, luckily I only need the ymca for a pool. We only have 1 pool in our town and lanes are at a premium the 1st month of the new year. Were looking at endless pools but just can't justify the cost without knowing how long we will do this sport.

Extreme Veteran 1700 Normal, Ill. | Subject: RE: Razorxp Group Is CLOSED Yes, Neti Pot daily...really has helped to keep me illness free and to limit problems when I get them. And yes, power meter first. You can do everything you need with a power meter and a trainer during the winter and the power meter goes out doors so you can gauge efforts during races and during workouts. Really a HUGE plus to making the workouts more efficient and to be able to target work during a race so you don't blow up on the bike. Computrainer is another step. It makes it simple for the coach to email me workout files. He writes a brief narrative about the workout like yesterday's 1 X 5 mins @ 85% @ 100 rpm and 3 X 90 secs @ 105% @ 110 rpm, two sets. That would be enough to do it on a trainer with a power meter. Having the CT just makes like simple. It times me and when the efforts come, it increases resistance on the back wheel so I can just spin. I think the bigger payoff to the CT will come when I do the 3D Ironman Moo course. I can actually "ride" the course in my basement whenever I have a chance. I will try the coaching file on it Sunday and maybe try out the 3D for the first time too just for fun. Y'all have fun tonight and stay safe. We just saw True Grit. Really a great remake. |

Member 19 springfield il | Subject: RE: Razorxp Group Is CLOSED Happy New Year Everyone. What a morning! Tornado watches and warnings in December are enough to drive this Pacific Norhtwest girl, nutty! Decided to go the gym anyway (needed to stick my tongue out at those crazy tornados) and was able to get a run in. First one since my arch strain earlier in the week. It went well, no pain during but a little sore after. And no Tornadoes  Was supposed to swim but the gym closed early so I will try to fit it in the limited schedule tomorrow. Tomorrow is my first ride with the local cycling club. It will also be my first ride in a good size group. Should be interesting. Should I log this as my workout? It will be a couple of miles short of my plan. One last crazy question; What causes shin splints? Shoes? form? ... be save in your travels ! 2011 Blessings ahead! Marys |

Expert 1566 | Subject: RE: Razorxp Group Is CLOSED Most likely it is from too much too fast. I suffered pretty bad a few years ago and did excersises similiar to these and it went away for good: http://www.livestrong.com/article/18686-shin-splint-exercises/ - Do these every day and before you run to strenghten the muscles on your shin. Do you have them? If so take it easy and avoid any speed work or high itensity. And remember the general rule of thumb for running - INCREASE YOUR WEEKLY MILEAGE BY NO MORE THAN 10% EACH WEEK. Any more than that and you are asking for injury issues such as shin splints and IT Band. mfspears - 2010-12-31 5:28 PM Happy New Year Everyone. One last crazy question; What causes shin splints?
