My arms have been replaced by noodles. Good thing typing doesn't requre lifting my arms. 
Okay, so LAST night I did 1:00 trainer ride w/lots of muscle builds in the big ring, low cadence low HR. 19.5mi This whole progress on the bike thing is starting to freak me out-I am getting nervous for outdoor riding...okay I'll try to stay calm and confident. 
THIS morning Friday pool workout also known as torture fest. Here is how it looked... 
W/U-200 free, 200 alternate 50free/50non, 200 pull 
Main Set- Descending 3x100, 50 back, 3x100, 50 back, 3x100, 50 back, 3x100, 50 back 
C/D-8x25 No breath, 200 free easy 
I am happy to say that excluding one 100 ALL of my 100s were between 1:55-2:01 which meant I had a reasonable rest since I had specific intervals to use. 
Tonight is 30min zone 1 run. 
Back on track after a bad start to the week-work hard today tripeeps<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

Good Morning All! 
Looks like this weekend will be a mess, here in VT. Lots of nice rain, freezing rain, sleet, and even some snow. Sounds like March to me. Well, in like a lion... 
15 minutes of rowing followed by 60 minutes of easy but 110 rpm spinning. I'm hoping to get out for a lunch time run, since running opportunities this weekend will be slim. 
Have a great day everybody. 
Victor

Good morning folks, Busy morning today. I lifted this morning, doing upper body and legs. Skipped the leg press and squats since my knee was a little sore so it was just leg extensions and seated leg curls. Then I did yoga. A friend was the instructor and I accused her of changing posses based on if I was able to do them. If I could do it she moved on but if I had a problem we seemed to stay on that one longer. It was a good class and ended with some ab work. Then I decided to get some pool work in so I did a straight 1200 yard swim. I should be at 1650 yards by the end of the month which is good so I can train for the Olympic distance swim that I signed up for in June. LRR and Thor were also in the pool. Have a great weekend and stay dry, if possible.

"Wot" "If not we can help increase your cover at a very small monthly cost" 
"Wot" "Well then do you need Double Glazing at your Home?" 
"Wot" "How about the Chance to upgrade your Mobile Phone Package?" 
"Huh" "The Chance to win a free Holiday - no Obligations?" 
"I think you must have a wrong Number" "Are you interested in joining the Democrats or Republicans or Labour or Conservative Parties?" 
"No Just Go Away"

Hello London!!! 
Pretty early to be running this late but... 
As MoN says, swam next to Ironboy at the YMCA this mornign. 2,000 yards as...
<ul><li>900y Forest Gump warm-up (swam the last of these laps in a PR 54 seconds)</li>
<li>300y drill up/swim back (2x l, r, catch-up)</li>
<li>400y pull buoy</li>
<li>400y cool-down</li>
</ul>
I was pretty amazed by the 54 second lap!!

Well done on the PR John

Pichburg · Mar 7, 2008

40 minutes in the pool today-1350 yards. Combo of kicking, drills and trying to get stronger on my freestyle. The pool was WAY crowded, all lines had at least 2 people in them, and more waiting to get in-you can tell everyone is starting to think about TRI season quickly approaching. 2 older ladies who "walk" kicked someone out of the "leisure lane" which I think was wrong--they should have showed up at 5:30am like the rest of us. 
Happy Friday everyone!

ksurp · Mar 7, 2008

I am actually going to run outside today. The weather/road conditions look like they will cooperate for my fav 5.5 mile run around a local lake. 
Need to strength train as well since I took yesterday off.

hobey · Mar 7, 2008

Skipped the trainer session last night do to a fierce craving I developed for a Midwestern style fish fry. Don't ask...these happen to me on occasion. So we went to the local fry house and shelved the salmon for today. 
That means I've been up for an hour or so making circles in the garage with Coach Troy and Hillacious. 
45 minute fartlek run planned for lunch and I'm toying with a triple so I can sleep in tomorrow. If I do it, it will be 2000 or so meters of easy swimming and some drills. 
No work for the weekend and buy off from the boss to push back if the area insists on meeting. 
TGIF!

5 mile hill workout today.

MBannon · Mar 7, 2008

Rest day for me. Last night I did 40 minutes on the stationary bike, hill route level 13. Getting pretty close to a "real" workout. Today my right knee is dandy, the left one hurts if I twist it, but otherwise is okay. 
Make yourself heard today Peeps! 
Thor - I posted a link in the "hydration" thread.

pete_72 · Mar 7, 2008

rest day. pub lunch from work - and everyone was there so we had a good laugh (mostly at my expense, but you cant have everything); I had the biggest toad in the hole you can imagine and two stellas and a huge bit o' chocolate cheesecake. Feel like a snake that just ate a particularly big meal and aint gunna eat for a month. buuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrp. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

Don't twist it.

rottensquirrel · Mar 7, 2008

30 minute weak trainer ride last night. I was planning on an easy spin but turned it into a pathetic ride, I can't say spin because the cadence rarely topped 90. Maybe a 1-2 mile run tonite and then 1st tri tomm.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
