Marvarnett's Group - Full (Page 15)

In regards to the avatar, I'm sure it's some photoshop fancy work.  I am 5"11 and 150 - 155 lbs.  According to my bathroom scale, I'm 5% BF

We crossed under the lane lines.  It was a 6 lane 25 meter pool and you went up and back, under the lane line, cont.  This was my first indoor swim, so it was rather interesting.  One thing I can tell you...if you ever do one.  Put a low time on your 100 m split.  It'll make things easier on you.

And Thank You on the really fit comment.  I appreciate it. 

Just trying to be like you man!!  I've got to get to Worlds somehow.

I'm baaaaaaaack!  Big numbers, right?  Right?

Thanks Dan, for looking after my group!  I understand you had some big shoes to fill but you did a smashing job.... ha ha

And congrats on your race!  You look Wicked Fast!

My theory is if you can't BE fast...might as well LOOK fast.  And I have no idea how you fit into size 13!! 

michlmead - 2007-03-29 10:38 AM Looking for pace chart for swimming - for example - I know you need for run sub 19 for a 5k run to finish a marathon in under 3 - does a chart like that exist for swimming - trying to figure out what my predicted time could be for 1/2 IM distance (apx) My last workout main set 5 -200 w/ 45 sec rest 3:52 3:47 3:41 3:42 3:39 I felt very good and could have continued did 500 cd - still learning what a race pace should feel like for longer distances. I still have till August - will start some open water as soon at the lake warms up... any input would be great. FYI - I could not swim a 200 in December! M

Since I am the king of all that is Tri information (and if you believe that...) I found something for you and I learned something too.   I personally like what he said here:  "Did you ever hear this one:
“I swim open water faster than in a pool because I don’t have to turn.”

Here is the link and at the end is a link to a pace chart.  I'm going to use this one too:  http://www.d3multisport.com/articles/swimpacing.html

I saved your group's page from moving to page 2.

Where is everyone???

Thank you Robyn!  that's what I get for being late to work.  :P

We are all busy training! 

It has been a busy one for me this week so I've been cutting out the fat from my schedule.  The fat being spending time in the forums.   They need to put a category in the training logs for time spent running around the park/playground/house with a 2 year old and a 3 year old! 

We'll call that a recovery week.  Now get to work slacker.  :P

Did someone call my name?

YES I DID.  You'd better get on it Art.  I'm not going to plan my trip to IM FL to watch you walk any part.  I don't care if you're 6'7" and a cop...I will literally put foot to arse to get you moving.

In a loving helpful mentor kind of way, of course.

Damn!! I never realized how intense this group was!  I don't think anyone's threatened the policemen in our group!!

I'll just slip away now and get back to the safety of my group and my puppies...

Ok Boss, I ah hear ya.

Got a small ride in on the trainer, man that felt good  

Well, the trip to FL won't be necessary. I already withdrew since the finances necessary for me to make the trip with my family would require me to work so much I wouldn't be able to train adequately for the race. I'm also unsure about the Honu 70.3 coming up in June but I still want to attempt it.

I've recently started doing CrossFit training with some of my coworkers which is a real kick in the teeth. I haven't really done much swim/bike/run stuff lately but I want to start real soon. My bike is in the LBS for a tuneup and I'll pick it up soon.

Anyway... I've got a lot of ground to make up. Thanks for being there.

Hey, awesome Carrie. Don't be shy, blog away. We all need the motivation.

Yes, I agree... blog away.  This is BEGINNERtriathlete.com, after all.  There is no reason to feel intimidated.  Be proud of your successes and allow us to be proud of you too!

**sniff** I love you guys!
