Hey Leap-
Does the comp trainer also do Power?? Going to a training w/ power seminar next week.
Anybody else trainin w/ power Eric??

M

Yes ma'am. Computrainer does power, HR, calories, etc. All the readouts are right there on the screen.

I haven't yet though I may start. My coach and the shop owner feel that HR is good for now. The shop is getting set up w/ Computrainers so I'll start exploring that soon.

I do alot of indoor training on Rollers. If you look at my logs you can start seeing the types of intervals I do on the rollers. They are excellent for pedal technique, cadence, balance, bike handling and confidence.... Much closer to road feel than a trainer....

I have another Eric here - that did the 3 hour workouts on rollers :-O. I'm not sure i could do that!!! Would like to try them - also looking @ comput trainer for winter. Would also like a new bike LOL - it never ends!! I need to win the lotto!! Or find a rich guy to support me ;-)

Let you know how the power seminar is... I'm still doing HRT too. I just may need more base on the bike - Talked w/ coach we are going to up the intensity for bike this winter - going to keep my specialzied then maybe spring get a carbon bike (looking @ orbea)

Anybody running Turkey Day runs?? Thinking about doing the Cleveland one!

M

The computrainer sounds awesome! Some day when I (like Michelle) win the lottery I'll pick one up! My latest purchase is a much more humble $10 second skewer for the trainer - I called CycleOps direct and they hooked me up.

Like Michele, I am sticking with my Specialized for another season. If I improve enough to earn it this season, a tri bike might be in the budget for '09 . . .

My whole family (me, my hubby, my mom, my dad, younger bro #1, younger bro #2 & younger bro #1's girlfriend) is doing the Boar's Head Turkey Trot 5k in Charlottesville - my husband's parents will be there to cheer us on at the finish. Younger bro #1 is a speed-demon (won his AG last time we did the race) and dropped my husband after the first mile the last time we ran it - he's hoping stay with my bro for two miles this time around. As for me, I am not expecting a PR since it is a VERY hilly course, but hope to beat my last time for the course. They have an award for largest family participating, so we are hoping we've got a shot at that one!

Michelle:

Looks like you already have quite a few folks to mentor out there but wanted to know if you have room for one more student? Thanks,

Hi All:

Yes we can always fit in one more!! Sorry to be sooo far behind - have enjoyed some down time and even started a new job!! - Still been training lots of base!! Tri-ing to get a good solid start for 2008 - will be doing SteelHead 1/2 IM again!! Just starting to plan for races 2008.

Not sure if i need to start with the January program - or just keep this one -- if I move i will keep the same name!

Thanks for staying with us this past season!! It's been a BLAST -

Lots of cool Firsts and Fabulous races and performances by everyone!!

I will let you know if we are moving into the January slot!

Michelle

HI Group!!

Got the word from Ron - We can stay on this page or move to the 2008.

Want to see who is in for the 2008 first 1/4 - I'm just building base

Need to know who is in and out!!

Please post - i'll get my list going... also post races planned for the upcoming season

Indy 500 1/2 Marathon is first "A" runing race for me in 2008.

ANYBODY ELSE??

Michelle

HI, Group!

Include me on your 2008 mentor group!

First sprint Feb, 25, 2008. Usually in April. I wouldn't do it but the swim is in a POOL and bike is flat!!! I just can't resist.

Debating on trying a Olympic Tri Race. Working on my Run with a beginning running group. Hope everyone is well. Can't wait to hear what everyone has been up to.

Kristina

No debate - do it - you may not be able to go as fast - it's a longer day - but it's twice the fun:-)
Love the oly distance - i'm better @ longer (except the swim) planning on doing more tri's this season - i'm not starting sooo early this year - had a long season last year - going to back load 2008!!

I'm definitely in! Had a rough/busy month in December what with being a retailer, then drama with my "old" team/club which I have subsequently left with 3 team mates to join another team and then fell ill with an Ecoli invasion that knocked me to the ground.

But I'm BACK BABY, I'm BACK!

Talk soon....

Eric J

Hey everyone!!

Glad your back Eric - Leap where are you??

I just updated the 2008 - races and goals - anyone else who is in please do this also - that way it will be easy to see what the plans are for 2008 -

Thanks!!

Questions - go ahead and post em!!

M

Hi Jessica:

Glad to have you back!! Even part time - I will stay w/ this thread - instead of starting fresh... 1/2 IM in my plans to - behind on posting!! Not base building :-)

No need to worry - you will be prepared and have a GREAT DEBUT!!

HAPPY TRAINING!!

Michelle

Hey gang, count me in!

I've had quite a bit change since Oct. We 'had a puppy' in Oct and now have a teething 5mo old adding excitement to our days. I acquired a new coach that'll take me through IMWI in Sept. Purchased a computrainer in Nov and have been playing on that all winter.

I am base training at the moment with a swim focus in Jan. Feb is bike focus month so I'm looking forward to that.

Can't wait to get some warmer weather as outside running is miserable in the cold.
