Will,

Good to see you plan to start back up.  We will be checking your logs to keep you on track.  As for the legs feeling heavy, it really depends on how much else you are doing.  It could be from over doing it.  But I would guess that your legs are just telling you nice workout.  This is not an unnormal thing.  Stretching will help, or you can try an ice bath if you are so brave.  Otherwise, it will just take time for your body to get use to it.

Hi guys, I know I've been kinda lost for the past 2 weeks but, I've been really busy. I have my first tri this Sunday.

1.1 mile swim

40 mile bike

10 mile run

 I'm really pumped up about this event. I've been training for seven months and I feel ready. I wish I had more time to train this month but I really think I'm going to be fine for this race.

Hector...good luck in your race on Sunday! 

Hey everyone... so I am sorry i haven't posted much, it's really hard finding the time between work and training to get all of my commetns written down. 

Training has been going well, at least my coach thinks so...so I am pretty confident about my race next month.  I actually had a long talk with her tonight about how I take things so seriously nad need to learn to just have fun with this.  I am that way in all aspects of my life, so this is nothing new to me.  I am going ot rty this next few weeks ot take it easy on myself a bit.

Last week, my Ocean mile swim race was fun, even though the current was strong and made me fell like I wasn't moving at times I am planning on doing a 5k this weekend.  I was going to do a Duathlon, but with not having a road bike, and just my hybrid, I feel at a disadvantage.  So, I don't want to get myself down if I don't do well just b/c of my bike.  So, I am going to wait to do any bike races until my tri, when i have a road bike to borrow. 

Anyway, thats my update..hope everyone has a great week!

Ran my first 10 K today.. check out my report.

hector- how did it go? 

Ok guys and lady! :-)

 Incomplete race report.(RR).. (I don't have the official time yet) I hope to get it by tomorrow. I read 5:04 on the official clock but I think I did 4:56 (no timing chips). We'll see.. I want to also check the transition times.

I had a great time. I really enjoyed my first experience in a Triathlon. Please see the race report and check out the pictures in my album there are 18 of them. enjoy!.

Again thanks guys for all the support. I always check your comments. In a way you were all there with me. I could not wait to post my results and my comments so you could check them out.

Thanks,

Hector

Hector, awesome job on the race.

Jamie, congrats and good luck with the upcoming race.

Hey guys!~

How's everyone doing?  I just did my second tri this weekend...posted my report..check it out

Jeff...don't take it personally..people get busy and you can't make people want to stick to their training...I just get really busy and can't always post so much on everything I want...I also have a coach here, so I ask her most my questions....but I know you are there if I need you...

Have a great day!

Jamie 

I always find that logging my workouts and seeing the charts with my progress really help get me excited and stay focused...I always want my graphs to be higher than the week before or be very colorful...maybe cause i'm a girl!  But, I like the accountability of the logging. 

Good luck!
