No, no coincidence. Working out a lot makes you more vulnerable to viruses and colds and such. You really (heck, I really) need to take a multivitamin supplement as your intensity goes up. Your vitamin/nutrient needs are higher than the average joe's when you put in training volume.

Sorry I've been slack on the thread this week folks. Had a death in the family that set me back a few days.

How's the week going?

Today I did something completely insane. I did a 100 minute run on the treadmill.

Taking a vacation in Vermont this week with the family. Snowboarding everyday. Everything hurts.

Bummer about your loss!

I am in Columbia about 2 hours to your east and it looks like its going to be a pretty big storm.   Depending on what track it takes there could be as much as 12 inches!!!!  Thats alot of snow!!!!

I have had a pretty busy week...  I went to 2 plays this week.   I had free tix and there were things i wanted to see.   I have had to work through lunches all week so that I can leave early on Friday.   I alluded to it in my log, but basically we decided to switch daycares for my daughter which left us without childcare for a week.   Through the graciousness of our family and friends, we were able to get childcare until thursday, but Friday my wife and I are going to split the day.  She gets her in the morning and i get her in the afternoon.

I managed to get most of my workouts in by doubling up and getting up early in the morning.   This weekend is a bit messed up because my wife has to go out of town on friday evening and saturday, but I should be able to get my workouts in by switching things around a bit.

Have a good weekend everyone

I tried flip turns a couple of weeks ago. Got a nice scratch on my back to prove it!

12 inches! Whoa. That's hard to fathom for this Texas boy.

I hear ya on the family thing. It can make workouts difficult. My wife is going to New Orleans next weekend. Somehow I've got to figure out how to get a 3 hour ride in.

Cool deal.

Be wary that tri suits are made to fit pretty snugly. As in, skin tight. I normally wear a medium, and the medium tri suit I got from them felt really small at first. You get used to it though.

i will need to work off those extra carbs today as well!!!    The weekend went fine,  pretty good trainer ride on saturday and decent run on sunday.   It was cold and rainy here most of the weekend, but today it will be in the mid 60s!!!   I am definately going outside for my run!

have a good week!!!

What kind of skulling sets do you do or recommend? I definitely need to work on my skulling... 

Funny you mention that. It's amazing how many "flat bellies" in our Master's group are in the slower lanes. Our coach can swim circles around all of us, even at age 59. To look at him, you would never guess it. Technique is uber-critical with swimming.

Yup. Looks can be deceiving. Back in December, one of the guys in Masters had his 14 year old niece who was in for the holidays come swim with us. It was absolutely amazing to watch her swim. Mike and I were swimming pretty hard, about 1:36/100 and she blew past us like we were standing still. The punchline - she was breast stroking!
