I think the Computrainer will make my nightime training sessions cool with virtual pacers etc. I could put the IMOO course in or SC HIM etc.

Hey guys.  How's it going?

I just stopped by to say hi.  I've been riding a lot, at least a lot more than I was, and I ran this morning.  I'm aiming for the Tour de Cure, June 16th.  I think I'm going to be able to do the 60 miler. 

Carry on and don't forget...Good Luck and Have Fun!

    Good idea on the check-in!

    I have a good build week in progress, should be the most minutes I've put for about 6 weeks or so.  Todays run felt good, I'm really surprised now that my RPE3-5 (easy) runs are sub 9 min/miles, even with the summer heat building in.  I just checked my logs from last year, for May 9th I did a 5.55 mile run at 9 min pace but at RPE 5-8 and HR was below Z3 for only 13 min!  My longest run up to that point was on May 20th, 7.11 miles at 10 min pace, wow it's amazing looking back!  Looking forward to the next race in < 3 weeks to compare with last years times.

  • Mon - 80 min bike (did 86 min) & 70 min swim 
  • Tue - 95 min run (did 71 min)
  • Wed - 40m swim (OW)
  • Thur - 60 min bike, 55 min run
  • Fri - off (but may fit in an easy swim)
  • Sat - 135 min ride (sometime before, to, or after son's swim meet
  • Sun - 35 min run

    I, for one, would like to keep this group going past the expiration date for our group.  I hope everyone else is interested in staying. It's corny, but I feel like you guys are my friends now. So hopefully we can keep this group together. I'm sure Donto may want some new recruits, so ultimately that's up to him. I still have a lot to learn about triathlons, and this group has helped a lot.

    Not sure why, but your post, Bluejack, reminded me of one of the opening scenes in Stripes, when Bill Murray's character talks about Sgt. Hulka:

    "...An army without leaders is like a foot without a big toe. And Sergeant Hulka is always gonna be here to be that big toe for us. I think that we owe a big round of applause to our newest, bestest buddy, and big toe... Sergeant Hulka."

    Donto is our Sgt. Hulka (congrats Donto) and I, for two, am also interested in "stickin' around."  Being part of this group played a huge role in helping me successfully complete my first tri.  As already noted, lots of good info. shared among (now) compadres and probably much more to come...additionally, varied experience levels and sharing about same is only going to grow deeper and wider and therefore be that much more beneficial down the road.

    Yes, Donto's call about whether or not to continue - formal or informal doesn't matter to me - and I respect his decision either way.  But if I had my druthers, I'd say "let's keep the lights on."

    Are they going to shutdown the Jan Mentor threads?  I doubt it, we can just keep on posting...I'm not going to do the summer mentor as a vacation is coming!

    Sgt Hulka, LOL!  Seriously you guys have come a long way, I too like this group and was wonder what will happen to it.  I really would like to head up to the Atlanta area and do a long weekend training with ya'll, 3 gaps is calling my name!!!

    I like Jonathan's post, list out what we're planning on doing during the week is something we all should do too keep the list active, I'm willing to keep the "Game On"!

    BTW, I did an OWS this mornign and met Tod live in person, the guy's a speedboat in the water Wink, but that's easy for me to say being slower that slow in water!

    There's a really nice Oly/Sprint in early October down here, only 8 hours from Atl!

    Can we be part of 2 groups? 

    I like you guys but I'm thinking about joining another group just to throw a friend a bone. 

    Am I cheating on you guys?

    Heck yeah!  I encourage it as diversity is the key to keeping a fresh mind when it comes to training.  Is the friend aka "fun killer"???

    The only thing she will be mentoring is if they add shopping as a sport to triathlons.

    I'm starting to feel a bit more myself the last two days or so.  It is a bit of a bummer how fast all that fitness goes away after an IM. Oh well.

    I'll start next week posting my weeks activities. I change a lot on the fly due to work constraints.

    Tattoo for IMAZ?  I was thinking the dot could be a Captain America Shield.  Any thoughts?

    I like it - keeps the IM theme and adds a bit of "original" to the equation.  Go for it!

    That would be pretty cool Steve! 

    I told my wife that if I ever do an IM that I'll have to get the tattoo.  She hates, I must emphasize HATES tattoo's, and of course had to throw out the threat of the big D, I just had to laugh.  Of course the kids are all on my side!

    Guess your wife won't be marrying me then.  I have 2 and was all set to get another until I realized no swimming for 3-4 weeks after.  Guess it'll have to wait.

    After you get a tattoo, they tell you to stay out of the pool and ocean for 3-4 weeks until is heals.  I'm sure you can get it a little wet (shower) but they don't want it emersed in water. 

    At least that is what I was told.

    Guys !!!

    A very sheepish me comes back to the forum !!!

    I have to admit that I disappeared on you guys as too many things took over my life (work, child, chores, travel etc etc)...

    The good thing is that I kept up some form of training through all that but just couldnt keep logging it and feeling sad about how little I was doing...

    Then I saw a sprint happening close by and signed up for it and did it last week.


    AND I AM SO ENERGIZED AGAIN !!!

    This has been the story of my triathlon life - I do the races to start training ! (talk about cart before the horse)...

    For my standards I had a great race - definitely faster than my previous two sprints (on a very hilly course at that).. Of course, my swim sucked (hadnt been in the pool in a few months, except for some cramming in the week before the race).. was decent on the bike and did a reasonable run... My time was 1.33 or so for a 750m, 20k, 5K tri... so not too shabby (though nothing to write home about, I know)

    Just wanted to let you all know.. I can see people have achieved a lot on this group.. and CONGRATULATIONS to all..

    I still havent got back to recording my workouts but am definitely picking up the momentum now... Am planning on an Oly in July and need to work out how to build up the volume so quickly..

    Avinash

    Well tickle me pink, hi there avpant!  Good job on the tri last week, way to sign up and do it.  If that's what it takes to get motivated then do it!  Every once in awhile we've been posting our weekly plan of workouts, seems to work for us!  Keep up the good work...
