KSH's Mentor Group! Let's do this! CLOSED (Page 27)

Thank you!!!!

But you are being too kind!


How is everyone else doing out there? It has gotten quiet in this thread.

Congrats on the PR, great run Karen!

Um, I've been taking it easy after RnR half marathon, but......

Tri training officially started this Sunday for me! Meaning I actually got my butt on the bike. Oh man, the winds were brutal on Sunday on top of that, 4 months of no cycling means I sucked! Now I just need to make time to get in the saddle and ride lots. I want a road bike so I can do more group riding......but I don't have the money right now.....poop! Oh, and I go in for Vo2 testing tomorrow after work.

Hope everyone has been doing well!

Hi everyone! So I'm back. I've been back from Italy for a few weeks but things have been crazy getting back into the swing of normal life. A week after we got back I got a cold, and now I'm having breathing problems from my allergies so training in March has been pretty pathetic. I've been working out with my training group for Wildflower and the workouts are getting intense, but I think I'm going to have to scale back until I get this breathing thing under control. Don't want to damage my lungs.

Italy was amazing. I didn't get any training done while I was there, it ended up being colder than expected and I didn't have the right gear. Also, I was afraid of getting hit by a car in Rome! We really enjoyed the trip, saw lots of beautiful art and enjoyed some amazing food.

I read through what I missed while I was gone, congrats to everyone who raced this month!

All right, that time again.... monthly totals! Mine is OK... not the greatest. But with school and all that, I'm just doing what I can these days.

March's totals:

Bike: 5h 15m - 73 Mi
Bike Trainer: 4h 05m

Run numbers are off b/c I wasn't tracking miles after half but I will do so again beginning of April. Happy with swim, past 3 months I've averaged 20-25K yards, now I just need to get my bike up to par!

Really low month for me given 2 weeks of vacation and being sick for the last 2 weeks. I called it the Ides of March.

March's totals:
Bike:	6h 55m 58s  - 92.77 Mi
Run:	5h 01m 15s  - 27.91 Mi
Swim:	2h 50m  - 4443.61 Yd
Strength:	55m
Stretching:	20m
Walking:	35h 30m

Numbers will really ramp up once I'm healthy again since I have less than 4 months until the Vineman half!

I just keep plugging along...

Bike:	7h 23m
Run:	6h 55m 52s  - 34.85 Mi
Swim:	6h 26m

I came close to hitting my planned targets for every week except the flu and broken arms week.  And I did way more than 6 hours housework, just forgot to obsessively log it...

Great job on the training everyone!

I am off to my tri coaching clinic in two days!

Guys, it has been a pleasure sharing this part of my triathlon life with you. Good luck on the rest of the year and all your training and races...

Saludos
