Iron Aardvark group - Closed (Page 9)

I don't use them all the time.  When my training gets really, really heavy (like 20 hours per week) sometimes I just cant stay asleep all night.  It helps me to not wake up every 2 hours all night long.  One of my close friends that trains with me uses them also, he says they make him have some crazy dreams, but I have not had any side effects at all.  It is all herbal, I believe.  Nothing too strong.  It's not like Ambien

I'm computer illiterate and can't figure out the quote thingy so

Regards to the sleeping statements:

My wife and I started having some sleeping problems/restlessness and we both started taking magnesium and it's really helped. I only take 1/2 a teaspoon a night and it gets me to sleep and stay asleep. last night is the first night in a month I didn't use it and didn't have any trouble.

Sal, give um heck, but remember to smile and enjoy the day.  You Rock Man

my splits from yesterdays Duathlon - 3.2km - 17km - 3.2km

Run 1 - 13.04

T1 - 1.18

Bike - 37.02

T2 - 1.02

Run 2 - 14.14

Total 1.06.38

Overall about 3.30 slower than the first race - putting it down to the 2wks of flu prior to the race and a windier (and much colder!) day!

Graham,

Remind to never do a triathlon in Ireland. It looks so cold all of you are... smiling!
Great job! Totally impressed.

Totally jealous of the cruise. I wonder how many laps around the deck would be considered a mile.... Slipping off the edge might be exciting though.

Sunkissed7 - 2013-03-11 3:54 PM I was on the Carnival Breeze, and it was 7 laps around their jogging track for a mile. The first day at sea I ran a little over 6 miles ... which was what my training plan called for (1hr), thankfully, as it started to get really crowded on deck. I had hoped to do laps in the pool, but there was just no way. Those pools are way too small and always filled with kids. I hate swimming anyway, so a week off wasn't anything I was too upset about

Sounds like a lot of fun. And on a better note you didn't get stranded out to sea for an extended vacation. Glad you aren't taking the training delay badly or being tough on yourself. A little fun is always good.

Thanks everyone - Bryan - it was bloody freezing - about 3C or 37F with a lovely wind chill factor on the bike too! And that's a lot of grimacing not smiles!!! Very jealous of that cruise too!!!!

Hello all, I've been away camping with the Family since Saturday morning and broke free long enough to check Sal's results that evening, Again Great Job. 

Grahm nice race and some impressive times. 

Y'all (Texas thing) are making me jealous with the times you are putting up. 

All of my workouts have been updated now, Got in a Ride before leaving and after returning, and was able to mix in some hikes with the family and a couple runs.
