Bringing life to the Triathlon thread

We flip flopped our Tuesday run to today because of all the rain this weekend. Hill workout. Warm up. Run hill repeats. Do striders, cool down and then core. Short, fast and to the point!

We do our hill repeats right out the door every week. Our neighbors dog runs back and forth barking, hits the edge of the invisible fence, yelps and then chases us back the other way. Poor thing. I am going to get him some treats.

Skipped my swim today. Not sure if I have a cold or allergies, but I felt a bit too goopy to swim. Mt biking tomorrow so hopefully I will be less phlegmy....ick....

Well, we had a little tsunami advisory roll through Hawaii this morning. I helped my father in law with his transition practice today and my husband swam with him. I wasn't about to get in the water! I'm so out of swim-shape!

I'm helping to coach a group of Olympic distance ladies on the weekends as I train for Ride the Rockies. I'm starting to feel my quads bulk up a bit. In tri training I find I get more lean. But this hill-focused biking is a totally different approach for me. I'll probably weigh myself in a few weeks and see where I am at!

We got a training ride in yesterday on the race course for our first race. One section of trail was too wet to ride, but we went with the intention of trying to get a lap time and we were able to do that. It was probably harder than I should have pushed with as goopy as I am, but oh well. It was short. Mission accomplished. Easy run today.

I'm pretty new to the forum, and completely new to triathlons. I just signed up for my first (sprint) in august. I've always loved running, cycling and swimming - as long as it's outdoors, but I never tried to put it together before now.

It all started with my gym (where they also have a pool) launched a campaign where you could win a trip to Croatia if you swam 10000 meters before end of March, and I thought: "well, I can do that" and added swimming to my regular exercise program. I'm still a complete swimming noob and hate the pool, but I'm trying to hit the pool twice a week.

I'm quite excited and nervous about the race in August, it's still long, I know, and the distance is short, but it's the first time, and I really don't know how I will do

I made my own triathlon today. I skate skied in the AM, then rode my bike to work (about 45 min) and tonight I teach a women's strength and conditioning class. I'm not sure how that's going to go. I'm already pretty wiped out.

so I have been fighting phlegminess all week and I finally went to the Doc in the Box yesterday just to have somebody other than me listen to my chest. I do not feel like I have to cough but when I do it sounds goopy. He said my lungs are clear but he hears the goop in the upper airway when I cough. He thinks it is the tail end of an upper respiratory infection. Yea. Gave me antibiotics....more yea.

My hubs was with me and asked him if I could work out this weekend. Doc says, sure you can go for a walk. Hubs says...ummm...that is not exactly what we had in mind The official word is that I can ride tomorrow just take it easy. I actually feel fine except for the goop, so I am going to go mt bike with our group and if I need to back it down a notch I can just ride by myself.

Sick twice in three months. This is very odd. I can count on one hand the times I have been sick in the past 20 years.
