Bike:30 minutes.

Run:20 minutes.

As long as you hit the minimums, bricks count as 2.

S/B/R only. One exception ...if you drink a dozen cans warm coors lite in one sitting, I will count that as 8 workouts. Of course if there is no video, it didn't happen...

Remember log your workouts and check in weekly!

Who is in?




I'm in! Sounds tough but if it wasn't it wouldn't be a challenge would it!

And Brodzki I feel your pain with rough weeks as I had one myself. No sick family members but extra soccer practices and a van in need of repair hampered my efforts. I am hoping to get out for a long ride this weekend but only managed to bike commute 2 days this week and only 1 run and nothing in the pool. That is far shy of my goals

I am am lucky to break 2mins per 100m swimming and the swim ends with a 300m run to T1 before you go over the timing mats. 16 or 17 mins for the swim and then 2 mins to run up to T1.

Biking is hard to measure. This mornings commute was 9.7km in 19 minutes. So I know I can sustain 30kph (18.6mph). So hope to go under an hour.

My half marathon pace is about 5:19 per km and my 10k pace about 5:09. So I hope to cover the 7.5km in about 39 mins.

Swim and run to T1 = 19mins
T1 = 2mins
Bike = 60 mins
T2 = 2 mins
Run = 40mins

Total = 2hrs 4 mins

I so much want to beat 2 hours but that really means not making any mistakes. Am I off my nut thinking this is possible?


2) Where is out glorious leader? And how did the interview go?


Where are you doing this sprint? Binbrook?

I did the TRy a tri there last year and I can tell you the water is really really cold! The bike course is nice and you shouldn't run into too many hills. The run will be alittle tougher. Personally if you have a good swim and agood bike then u can do it under 2 hrs

I'm in!  My plan calls for 38 or so workouts so I should be good to go.

Probably out of range for me. Although I do need a push. 1) Most of my rides to work are just about 20 minutes. I can extend them on the way home but not on the way in. So half my riding would not count to the total. 2) Straight after my sprint on the 7th I am focusing on a 10k on June 24th where I must crush my sister-in-law at all costs i am hoping to PR. So I will be going over to a more run focused plan for 2-3 weeks. Still temping though. I will see what I can do.

I'm in, especially if I can count my round trip bike commutes (20 mins each way) as a single work out. Does a sprint tri count as all 3 workouts?

Sure I am good with 3...unless you are too fast on any of them...swim under 15 minutes...down to 2 workouts. :-) No sandbagging it!

Hey there!

So I just joined a group before I saw yours and have to let you know I'm going to lurk your thread because I LOVE beer! As a Vermonter we've got lots of great microbreweries - current favorite is Switchback - get your mitts on some, you won't regret it! Also Trout River Brewing Co - rainbow red is a post-ski favorite and Otter Creek's Black IPA. = love

As for me - 44 year old mom of two with a great hubby. 5'8" 126#, four or five half marathons under my belt, lots of shorter races and doing the plunge into sprint tris this summer. Played sports all my life, former airline pilot - now part time flight instructor/adjunct professor for an aviation program. I coach my son's baseball team in Little League - yes dads, you heard that right! I played D1 college softball as a fast pitcher. I just love to be outside doing anything.

I just wanted to let you know I'm lurking! I may secretly do some of your challenges because I think they're great and warm Coors isn't.
Let me know if my lurking isn't PC as I'm new to BT! I don't know if we're allowed to join two groups. haha

Best,
Jenn (aviatrix802)

Lurking is not allowed...just join in. No big deal being part of two groups unless one is a beer haters group! Plus you love an IPA so you are good to go in my books! Pretty sure I have sampled Switchback in one of my many beer tasting splurges on holidays! Going to have to look it up!

Cheers!

So this is why I haven't been getting post updates. We've moved! Coming to the party a bit late, I suppose. For awhile there I thought everyone was too busy with training to post.

I did my first TT event with aero bars yesterday. Averaged 36km/h. I was riding on tired legs and it was 50km round trip to get out there. I have my first sprint Tri of the season on Sunday. I'm hoping that today and tomorrow will give me enough recovery so I can ride with fresh legs on Sunday. I've been pushing it hard on the bike the last two weeks. Soon time for a recovery week, me thinks.


Glad to see everyone else's training is coming along nicely. Also nice to see some new faces.

(i had just put the website for it up but realized I'm not supposed to I guess) I'd be impressed if Switchback made it all the way to BC! It was on draft here in only select places and they started bottling it about a year ago I think. Lots of good floaters! LOL The instructions on the label say to swirl and let stand for 30 seconds before enjoying! Tastiness!

Okay, so I do train too. I just biked a nice hilly 20 miles yesterday and ran this morning. I was supposed to swim this afternoon but screwed up my lane reservation so no-go. I ran leg 5 in the Vermont City Marathon this past Sunday - 5.67 miles in 46:15 = about 8:11 pace or so I think. It was "hot". Hey, 72 and sunny in the spring in VT is hot when you're not used to it! Tonight I have to assistant coach my other son's baseball team.

So the challenge starts tomorrow - better set my alarm!

Cheers,
Jenn (aviatrix802)

Well the search for a tri cycling shoe continues. Pearl Izumi is too narrow and so is Specialized. I found the LG too hard to get into and no way I could do it on the bike while moving. I am going to Trek tomorrow to try on the Bontrager Hilo and see if that works. I feel like a woman with all this trying on of shoes.

Ok
Ive been on the shelf for a week and a half w\ a pulled muscle in my back.

Coming back out of it.
Short run earlier this week
Medium run tonight.
If I recover from this - hopefully nicely!

Then tomorrow is a boot camp in the AM. Then finishing up my Bike tuneup (tires & Tubes - chain etc)

Then Sunday if the tuneup gets done a nice long bike (for me) 30+ miles.

Back to being accountable.

Well there's plenty of accountability going on here but not enough beer appreciation. So for all my fellow chewy beer lovers, here's a great one to try. Youngs Double Chocolate Stout. And the best part is after you drink it down you should have consumed enough calories for one helluva long ride or run. Happy Friday everyone.

Run:20 minutes.

As long as you hit the minimums, bricks count as 2.

I'm in. I have all of my bikes, runs, and bricks entered on my training calendar, will fit my swims in where I can. One question, if you run 40 minutes, or bike 1 hour or swim 30 min, does it count for 2? Maybe if you stop what you are doing for 15 seconds and then start again, you can count it as two?

Sorry, there needs to be separation between to count as two workouts...

Cheers!

Speaking of BEER....
Yesterday I had my first bottle of home brew from the kit my son gave me for Christmas. It was a Mexican style brew. Very smooth and hoppy. So I'm very happy with my first batch.
Second batch of Czech Pilsner is ready to bottle today. Won't be ready for a couple of weeks. I'll be storing them in my cedar closest in the basement until fully carbonated and aged.

Training run with my coach this afternoon.

2 bikes equal 1 completed workout.

Consider yourself in.

I am laying out the June Challenge for those who need a little push to train. Let's make it 28 S/B/R workouts in 30 days. That would be 7 workouts/week.

Minimums:

Swim:15 minutes.

Bike:30 minutes.

Run:20 minutes.

As long as you hit the minimums, bricks count as 2.

S/B/R only. One exception ...if you drink a dozen cans warm coors lite in one sitting, I will count that as 8 workouts. Of course if there is no video, it didn't happen...

Remember log your workouts and check in weekly!

Who is in?

 

I'm in!  My plan calls for 38 or so workouts so I should be good to go.

Probably out of range for me. Although I do need a push. 1) Most of my rides to work are just about 20 minutes. I can extend them on the way home but not on the way in. So half my riding would not count to the total. 2) Straight after my sprint on the 7th I am focusing on a 10k on June 24th where I must crush my sister-in-law at all costs i am hoping to PR. So I will be going over to a more run focused plan for 2-3 weeks. Still temping though. I will see what I can do.

I'm in, especially if I can count my round trip bike commutes (20 mins each way) as a single work out. Does a sprint tri count as all 3 workouts?

Sure I am good with 3...unless you are too fast on any of them...swim under 15 minutes...down to 2 workouts. :-) No sandbagging it!

I didn't think about counting 3 for my sprint. No way I am going under 15 mins for the swim! Bonus.

I'm IN, I think I'm already doing these times. My current training schedule is for my OLY in NYC for August.
