IceManScott - 2011-12-07 9:05 AM Doctor gave the all clear.  I'm going to do some bike, run and swims with strength exercises and maybe cyclocross a time or two in Dec. and then rejoin my coach in January.

Great news Ice!  Good luck with the cyclocross races!  That sure looks like a good time!!

Don't be surprised if you look for this thread and find it is gone.  Some time in the next couple of weeks, I suspect we will get archived to make way for the new December mentor groups.  We can still use this thread after it has been archived, but it will be down with the archived groups of the past.   

 

What's your plan?  Are you going to lead a new one?

Not sure yet Ice, I will definately lead another one, I just need to decide if I want to do a December group or wait till April or both.

Ken - If you decide to mentor another group, I would like to stay on!  This group and your mentorship has been the best group I have ever been a part of. Thanks everyone - I really appreciate all the inspires and advice I have received over the last 6 months! I work harder because of each of you.

Well, I am back to repent.  It has been a disastrous year, athletically, for me.

Had a nagging right knee injury, this settled &then left knee problems. Finally adductor/hamstring problems.  Never raced, a single race.  Have not ran greater than 10k in 6 months.  It has been frustrating, to say the least.  I am seeing physio now & hope to back in action in a few months, but I am a little discouraged, I gotta say.

Anyway, I have been following along probably daily, but did not contribute, die to my lack of training myself.  I am a do-er & not just a sayer.  Probably foolish, but nevertheless.

I agree with all, I have to commend, congratulate Ken on a well run group.  You are a great asset to BT. Don't stop.

If I make headway in the near future, I would definitely join again.  If I am still in rehab, I will bow out & let someone who is "doing it" benefit from the great camaraderie of this group. 

There, I got that off my chest.  I feel Better...

Richard - so glad you posted!  I think most of us have been where you are at some point.  Being injured sucks - and it is definately hard to stay motivated when you can't get in the training you want to. I haven't been able to run for nearly 4 months now - and it is so frustrating! Hang in there you will get through it! Also don't feel you can't post here because of your lack of training.  I am sure you have more insight and helpful advice than you realize, plus maybe we can keep you motivated to rehab those knees!

Taping the 2011 Ironman championships now - hope to watch it later on the trainer.  I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Very good post Robin!

One thing to remember Richard, everyone deals with injuries now and then, some more than others.  Your experience with both the good and the bad side of endurance sports is valuable and your contributions welcome.  It was good to hear from you Richard, glad you checked in!

One of the nice things about having people in the group that carry over from the previous is the ability to add more people to the group.  so this should be fun!!

I did set up a winter mentor group guys!  It is still in the staging area and probably will be for a day or so.  Here is the link to the staging area.

Happy Hollidays everyone!

The new group is now live in the mentor forum.  No hurry, any of you guys want to join you're in even if it is after it closes.  Only a couple so far anyways!  December groups are always a little slower to fill up.

Roughly when would this new round of groups end?

I don't see my doing much competing until June, when I could likely really use some sage advice.

This group usually ends in April when they will start a new group.

If you want/need a break no need to feel obligated.  I just making everyone aware.
