LOL. We play the same game. Sometimes you just "know" from one to another.
rode 20 miles headwind both ways LOL
ran: 5 miles
practiced wearing bike shorts over tri-shorts, worked well- forgot all about them during ride, came right off even though sweaty, thrue on shoes, one nice stretch for each calve, took off on the run with a bottle of accelerade, felt strong. Transition practice time of 4:35.
cool down run planned for tonight.
nice Brick

hmm bike shorts over tri shorts. I bet thats pretty cush. Do you run with your bottle? Is that hard? I was thinking about that today. I have a water belt but it feels like it inhibits my stride. holding something might be annoying..slosh slosh. That transition time is fine in a full iron but don't expect to win the sprints with it
Great brick! MORE running tonight? wowI ran with the bottle until it was gone. I only had the 5 miles planned so I drank it within the first mile.
At times i do run with a bottle and toss it from time to time to each hand. It is very easy to stop swinging the arm that carries the bottle, and that is bad for stride and shoulder.
a water belt is for the fatty doing a 2 day breast walk. eheheheheh nothing against breasts of course.
transition-
I find if I take a moment and rest into a stretch on each leg, my running legs come in much faster, and no lil spooky twitching in my quads.
p.s. I moved my seat forward, and it made my aero position more compact, and my hammies are getting saved for the run much more effectively.

I dunno about that water belt statement. I watched a half iron on tv over the weekend and there were quite a few ELITE athletes on that run with it. NEENER NEENER. Pretty sure they had lower body fat than YOU and definitely not doing a breast walk..cause they had none. hahaha. Its kind of par for the course. how sad. Ya do what has to be done.
Just razzin FF
Good mental note on the stretching. I'll try that. My bike to run has been much easier as of late. I find being super compact is the most powerful for me. I was always so darn stretched out on my sweet blue and lost serious power. I'm very compact on this new one.
ouch! the body fat comment was relative in some way I'm sure....eeegads... that's the last time I will tease a piece of equipment
open water swim:
1:49 minutes- and yes there is a story that goes with it. I get dropped off at the lake, about 8 miles from the house (80 minute run is second half of brick).
I walk up to the lake and take this pic:
notice anything? yes its big but what else? Well, after hitting my first two points planning to do a big square pattern around it, I turn into the sun. UH OH! I can't see. As I continued to stroke, and panic mentally, and try to speed up but then run out of breatha bit(OMG!! it was hell!) A 30 minute out, 30 minute back tuned into an eternity and swimming lost and scared,.... as the sun set, I was able to get a bearing on where I needed to go, and I went for it....
oh,, then I ran/walked 8 miles home, with a lesson learned. and that lesson it seems is this- Bring a water belt, because you just might need it for recovery.

I tried running with a water belt and hated it. Halfway through the run I decided to just carry the bottle, but I didn't care for that either. So, up until this week I just keep my laps in the 5-6 mile range and swing past the house for a quick drink. With you and Sparrow promoting the camelbacks, I picked up a waist and shoulder (backpack) camelback. I used the waist one on Tuesday and it is a big improvement on the water belt. I am planning on trying out the backpack style one tomorrow.
Most races have plenty of watering holes along the route for the run don't they?

HAHAHAHHA OMG I LOVE THIS. I'm laughing..uh..with ya FF..not um...at you
lol. Ah fudge heck yeah I'm laughing at you Thats a good story-real good.
Thats a nice little pond there. Aren't you in alligator territory or something? I'm sure they love confused swimmers
Its easy to get off your mark in open water. Its easy to do even WITH buoys. that was brave of you. Eight miles home, holy cow, that had to suck so bad.
Well its one of those good stories all ironmen need. I'm sure there will be many others. I bet you're hecka tired.
Did you lie to your family about your workout or tell your story in humility? I think I'd have lied. hahahaha
Thank you for affirming my water belt. I've since sold it to a man who likes to walk for breasts. hehe.
j/k
ride 120 minutes RPE 3 - got 35 miles out of it- I am quickly getting more comfortable and strong on "precious" we are gunna get faster.
run: 30 minutes RPE 5 - made 3 miles easy, then just jogged around bliock a couple of times to finish the 30 minutes.
OK... found a gatorade protein wafer that settled good- using it for my sweet treat.
wore just bike shorts and ran with them. Did not like it. felt like a heavy diaper. SO- at event swim to bike I will put on bike shorts over tri shorts for riding (I like the padding) coming off bike I will ditch the bike shorts.
oh-- fell over on bike today for my first time. scraped knee and two fingers, dented my pride, but now that is done.

There are two types of cyclists who use clipless pedals: those who have fallen and those who will fall. Now that you've popped your cherry, I will mock you if it happens again!
I would expect nothing less. Waiting til the very last second to get a foot loose, in case the light does not change is STUPID! it is not dumb, it is STUPID! hehehehe
and G8r you never responded to my post about the 10th? Do you want to hook up? We do not have to ride hard or anything. I am on a 140.6 taining plan, and my event is only 70.3- meaning, the intensity of work out is secondary to hooking up with you.

THAT LOOKS DELICIOUS
DAMN
is there any way to make something like that without any fancy ingredients...i dont have vanilla or anything like that...
Hey FF, yeah, I think I can do a few miles on May 10. That will have been 5 weeks post-surgery. I'll know for sure by the beginning of May if I am ready and how far I can go.
