SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED (Page 94)

Tony--thanks for the advice on uploading via Training Center.  It worked like a charm.  I still think TP is really bad.

Sam--isn't Lonestar like an ocean swim?

Nah, it's in a bay isn't it?  Saltwater even better.

LOL, I tried my wetsuit in the pool yestersay and was swimming 10 seconds per 50 faster.

Have you ever combined the wetsuit and salt water?  That is a killer fast combination!  Just remember there is floating sand in ocean water and sand can chafe!!!   BODY GLUIDE WILL BE YOUR FRIEND!!!

I second that but it has been my experience that if you run into trouble...like a mass start or just need to cruise for a minute, that breaststroke under these conditions is impossible for me.  The buoyancy of the suit is multiplied with the salt water and I can't get my head up to breath.....but it is fast when you are getting after it.

Steve

That's when I like to do the "wetsuit induced doggy paddle."

Vertigo.... Take some dramamine before your swim.  It can make a huge difference.  Also if the water is chilly trying wearing a swim cap (and if you are already wearing one... try 2). 

Back from the LBS with a new tube (turns out a 60mm stem wont work on a Jet 60... duh I didn't think that one through)  and trainer tire mounted and the PT is ready to ride.  My voice partially came back today, but I feel 100% better.  I have my holiday party tonight, but luckily its only a dinner so I may get a short workout in when I get home tonight.  I have missed two and today will put me at 3 days missed.  What would you suggest picking up from the missed workouts:

Wed: 30 recovery run, Long Swim (2000 yd, probably around 45 minutes including wu/cd)
Thurs: 1:20 Run, 45 Bike
Fri: 45 Recovery run, 1 Hr Bike
Sat: Nothing
Sun: Long Ride 1.5-2 Hrs

That is a mix up of my plan here and the Jorge's bike plan.  Looks like the next Off day is Thursday, my thoughts were:
Fri: 45 Bike
Sat: Long Swim, 30-45 Recovery run
Sun: Long Bike, 20-30 min easy run

Then starting over on Monday with the regular

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I am going to finish up a review I have been working on my blog this weekend if all goes well.  The Great Hydration Debate... a sneak preview at the title for the group members

quiet group today. Thought I would log on and have 5 pages to read at lunch.
No workout today, and its Friday so its "popcorn night". With butter and seasonings....Our fun night to snack.
Played in a poker tourney last night. Finished MOP so no money. But I doubled my money on Blackjack prior to the tourney and one one of the door prized for $100 at a restaurant in town. So ended up coming out ahead.

William, x3 on the ear plugs and just getting used to the distance/workout.  Just don't forget to takeout the ear plugs, last yr during my first sprint of the yr I left the ear plugs in by mistake for the whole race.  After the race I thought I somehow lost part of my hearing until my wife pointed to my ears.. 

On the high elbow thing, one of my old coaches used to tell me to pretend there is a large barrel on its side in the sky and for me to reach (on your toes) as high into the air with your arms/whole body and pretend to reach over the top side of the barrel and pull yourself over the barrel.

love the sarc font!  also.  maybe do something about this.  then get back to me.

January's totals:
Run:	34m 22s  - 4.29 Mi
Strength:	1h 00m

LOL!!!   AWESOME! 

TRACY:  WHITE LAKE HALF = 7:20:24
JOHN: BUFFALO SPRINGS HALF = 7:42:26

The biggest climbs at white lake are found on the swim.

Talking to Reuben about Augusta, thought I'd throw this out there.  If you're even just thinking about going, Tony Sam Andy EVERYONE, call the Marriott now and make a reservation before it sells out.  You can always cancel with no penalty.  You have to call.  If you go online it says sold out.  

Either way we both look great in neon swim caps!!!

The mariott is the best place to stay logistically in augusta.  would keep u from having to dea w alot of travel headaches.      typing off this handheld sucks   e

c'mon give you better half some props!  

that's tracy's husband holding her up.

alright settle this talk down. You guys are going to make to me come down and do Augusta as well arent you

Tony, thank you so much.  Using the method you describe is actually much easier than the old device agent. 

Now, can anyone explain why my pc shut down halfway through a CT course?  I was thinking maybe it was my screen saver?  I can disable that and try again.  Any suggestions?  When I check comm ports in the options menu, it said "access denied" the other day.  Now, it says not found.  weird.  Like i said, if it's not one thing....it's another

yes we are.    thats better
