milaminute - 2007-11-09 9:13 PM G'night Yanti.  If you want I can send you my dogs so you could have 7.  Seven is a nice number .

much better than 6

so, refresh my memory on the #6 - it's been a while

It's from the Bruce's Sketch... "there is no rule number six"

Heh.  I'm so impressed by your great big post count, Sal.  My bedtime?  What?  Don't I have a rest day tomorrow.  I jest, I jest.  I will be swimming and running tomorrow.  I can hardly wait.

ahhh yes!  I remember now!

ever watch 'The Young Ones"?

well nibbins

I'm going to sign off now - ttyl!

What on earth have you all been up to! I have 9 pages to catch up on!!!

I picked up my mountain bike from BBs so after leaving it at his place for months its now sitting in my lounge but ugh it was a nightmare getting up the stairs with it... I definatley think Im a road bike kind of girl...

Guess you are all sleeping - have a great weekend!  

Ok I havent got through the whole discussion yet but Im going to add my .02...

Generally triathletes spend too little of their time swimming... why?

Well 1 - you need to be able to swim as efficiently as possible in order to ensure that you do NOT use up any (well much) energy on the swim so you get out of the water fresh... if you dont swim often your body wont remember how to move effectively and efficiently through the water

2 - swimming is low impact and great for building your cardio system and also is great for recovery work with all the riding and running. It is a great chance to build your cardio capacity and threshold without the pounding from running or even riding

3 - Swimming is a skill that relies on technique rather than brute strength... and like with anything else if you do not practice it regularly your body when it tires will always fall back on its bad habits.

Yes... the swim is only a small proportion of your race and of course you arent going to train it 7 times a week BUT more people do significantly under train a discipline considering it sets up your whole race AND can be used to build cardio fitness without the impact of the other disciplines...

ok... you can ignore me now

Oh and on the kick... its really useful when finishing the swim leg to kick your legs faster as it prepares them to stand up and run into transition....  otherwise there is no blood in them... not a good way to exit the water

Stretching: When you work out and muscles get put under stress one of their reactions is to tigthen... after awhile they dont loosen up as much and stay tight....

This will pull body parts out of alignment and cause injuries.... because other muscles will start to compensate for the tight muscles and it will affect how you move.

Also if muscles are held in a certain position (ie high heels) over time they will tighten to fit the position they are used to...

Stretching keeps the muscles supple and your body in good alignement (among other things) and Im sure someone who understands all this better than me will explain it beter  

Yanti - just checked out the transformation pics!!! Congratulations on all your hard work... I know its taken a lot of dedication to achieve such a phenomenal change in your body! Woo hoo!

And as for where Ive been all day... drove south and picked up my Mountain Bike from BBs house... got guilted into hanging out with him for a bit.... UGH! (I swear I dont know how to handle men) and now Im home!

Looks like a missed the party but I was here in spirit
