OK, you can put me down for MAYBE doing a tri in 2007.

Too late, I already wrote you down for one.

Seriously, you have MONTHS to go, and you don't need to run the 5K contiuously. Do walk/jog intervals. I *know* that if you keep at it, you'll make a vast amount of improvement by the time the tri comes and surprise yourself.

Woo hoo! Team TE tri is growing!

I am excited to do a tri. I am least worried about the running part. Not having been a bike in awhile, that will take some time to build up.

I'm doing one in December, one or two in january and who knows what else.

Well Ladies how is everyone doing? Our team is growing

I worked out on Friday, did the elliptical for 35 min again level 6 random but put it in reverse mode - my strength is OK but need to work on my coordination
did laps for 30 min and decided to time myself to get a base.
laps at our gym are 10/mile. I walked 2 ran 7, walked 3 ran 7 walked 1. I timed myself and w/ the walking it came out to a 12 minute mile - now I don't think that is possible - I don't run very fast but just maybe I am going faster than I thought - it is level and no wind however, so just maybe . . .

I did almost 1.5 miles of running so maybe I will be at 5 miles sooner than April

Sat was a wash - took a class ALL day - on how to write paragraphs - I mean how much can you talk about paragraphs - well obviously a lot we have 7.5 more hours of it to take

Yesterday was nice enough to go for the LAST outdoor ride of the season Got 26 miles in at a pretty leisurely pace (we wanted to enjoy the moment)

Today is a wash have parent teacher conf then I teach a night class
am going to try to work something in tomorrow after conferences

THEN the schedule should slow down some and I can hit it again

Hey everyone post your training regime - inquiring minds want to know!

You asked. :P

I've finally gotten some run training in. BF has set up his heart rate monitor for me and since I've been ZONE training to try and run the distance. I've completed 3 "runs" in the last week. I was so proud of myself this morning! I ran 2km... including an uphill for the first time in my LIFE. NO WALKING. I'm blaming the cycling and the HRM! I gotta get me one of those just for me! AND yestday afternoon I ran 1.75km after my commute home!

I've been cycling to the pool 3 days a week for the past two weeks now. Every time I show up I can swim for longer without stopping for a break. 100m has changed to 150m... Therefore I'm triple the swimmer I was in the enticer in september!

I'm riding 15km to the pool with an average speed of 20kph (LOTS of hills) So I'm usually exhausted when I get to the pool already. Gotta be good training for the transitions right?? Plus if I'm training after a ride then I should be able to BURST away during the actual event.

My average bike is now 80-100km per week. (the ride's only 10km)

So yeah. I'm aiming to increase my run distance to 3km (event is 2.5km) and swim 400m straight (event is 300m)

There's another girl at work who did NOOSA (3rd biggest Tri in the world and the Biggest in Australia... Lorian Graham made her cycling comeback in the TEAMs event! ) is entering the Raby Bay Tri as well (long course)

NEXT SEASON I'll be in with her. I'll work my way up to it. But it'll be great having someone in the long course cheering me on and visa versa

Hey everyone post your training regime - inquiring minds want to know!

I'm in transition from only biking to becoming a multisport gal. I haven't yet started the swimming and I'm still mostly biking:

Monday: bike - trainer session, 45 minutes

Tuesday: run - ~2.5 miles, ~30 minutes, mixed run/walk

Wednesday: bike - trainer session, 45 minutes

Thursday: bike - trainer session, 45 minutes

Friday: run - ~2.5 miles, ~30 minutes, mixed run/walk

Saturday: off

Sunday: bike outside, ~30 miles

It's getting to the point where I'll soon have to stop the outside ride until spring. I'll substitute in a swim instead and also replace another ride with a swim, so I'll end up with 2 each swim, run bike.

Oh! Regime!

Monday: Ride to pool then swim
Tuesday: Run then usual commute
Wednesday: Ride to pool then Swim
Thurdays: Run then usual commute
Friday: Ride to the pool and Swim
Saturday: Run, Then indoor soccer
Sunday: Rest day - OR make up the distance to get to 100km for the week.

can you believe I actually took up cycling to improove my fitness for indoor soccer?? NOW soccer's there to mix up my training a bit.
