Good morning team! Happy MOnday! How is everyone going? Welcome to page 16!

I had a mega weekend of training - on Saturday I rode 111k/69mi, on Sunday I ran 20k/12.5mi and this morning I swam 3.2k/2mi!!! I am feeling like I am finally going to be ready for this HIM.

Has anyone else got any exciting training stories?

Oops double post!

Don't you just love mother nature LOL The most important thing is that you still got out there and did it, and your HR proves you worked hard. Well done!

I'm struggling to cope with the new layout too - its a bit difficult to find things on here now!

Ouch!

Oh wow I just found you all! I didn't realise that we've been relegated to the "archives", I've been looking at the normal mentor thread and didn't see us there, didn't realise it was the new mentor thread and just thought it might be a problem with the new site!

How is everyone? I've just had a four-day weekend due to Easter and its been fab. I haven't done as much training as I wanted to do but so be it, its a holiday! I've spent lots of time with family and its been good.

Good luck for your exams!!! When exactly are they? I can understand your excitement waiting for summer! We're in autumn here but we've had the most glorious Easter weekend, its been 30-35C/85-95F everyday and absolutely lovely! We have some guests staying from Ireland and they think its wonderful, they've had a really cold winter.

Today its raining though and I was hoping to get my long run done - probably won't happen at this rate!

I've got my HIM in less than 3 weeks now, its on the 2nd May. I can't wait! I am feeling nervous but also I feel prepared. The training has made a huge difference in my training.

Good luck for your half marathon - if you can complete the distance thats all that matters really! And then you'll have a time you can improve on next time

Erm ... I am not sure if you can get feet and hand warmers. I don't think you can, I've never seen them. But then again its really warm here and we wear wetsuits for buoyancy not warmth! I know you can get Neoprene caps that cover your head and ears though. Maybe ask on one of the triahtlon question forums here on the site?

What brand trisuit and wetsuit do you have? I have a Jaggad trisuit and a Blue Seventy Reaction sleeveless wetsuit

I'm here now! I found you all! What have you been up to? How is your training going?

I think the new lot of April mentoring has started up, so we're relegated to archives! I think we'll be here until the end of the year, when the new Dec/Jan mentor threads start up

Oh, exams, I've got 1 tomorrow, 1 the day after and... eurgh, another 1 almost 2 wks later! I can't wait until this week is done to really return to some high quality training. If there's anything worse for a triathlete, it is the feeling of being trapped motionless (at a desk, in my case) with very little time for training!

I ended up finding some feet warmers. I don't think I can use them, but I haven't had time to fully research up on them. I do know, however, that I'll use them nevertheless when I go up to my cottage for some grand solo OWS! My trisuit is Zoot (http://www.zootsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=3_26&products_id=4996 in the Mermaid color) and my wetsuit is the full body, long sleeves Nineteen suit (http://www.nineteenwetsuits.com/pipeline.html) for women. 

I can't wait to try them out! First... I've got to get through the next few days!

I've let everyone know, some people seem to have dropped off the radar anyway!

Welcome back!!! I'm glad you found us again.

What are your plans?

Good morning team!

Hows things? I had an excellent weekend of training, less than 2 weeks to go now for my big race!

Thanks Jen! Yes I am super excited. I am feeling good. I know I will be slow but I think I am fit enough for the distance. The run will be a lot of hard work but luckily its at the end!

I am really glad to hear you're swimming is coming along. Good luck for your 10k race this weekend! I hope you get that PR

Regarding the weather, we have the opposite here! Its getting dark early now and its very cold in the mornings, this morning I was swimming outside in 7C/45F, luckily its a heated pool! Then I took my husband's car in for a service and rode my bike home, I had to get out my arm warmers and wind vest!!!

I have some exciting news - I am going to Canada in June to see my cousin get married!!! Sadly not to Montreal or Toronto though, he lives in Vancouver. I'm going on my own because we can't afford for Sef to go as well, but my mum and grandparents will come so it'll be fantastic. I am SO excited. I love Vancouver! And it'll be nice to get away from the winter here
