Triathlon Swimming

I haven't posted much. There are just over two weeks until my Vineman 70.3, my first half ironman, and I'm in the middle of a move to a new place. But I did the Breath of Life olympic distance triathlon this past Sunday, with a time of 3:09, my best olympic distance triathlon by 16 minutes. I'm still slow, but I'm getting faster. More on that, and a better picture, soon.

The internet means you don't have to convince anyone else that something is a good idea before trying it. — Scott Bradner, former trustee of the Internet Society (quoted in Here Comes Everybody) The communications tools broadly adopted in the last decade are the first to fit human social networks well, and because they are easily modifiable they can be made to fit better over time. — Clay Shirky (Here Comes Everybody, p 158) Back before Easter, I was at the ICA for the Eno/Shir

35 Min Swim, 20 Mile Ride

Posted: 03 Jul 2008 03:21 PM CDT

35 Min Swim, 20 Mile Ride 10 Hours Ago | Posted to: Triathlon I was up at 5am but distracted by work. By 8:15 I had sauntered into the pool with a couple hours of good work under my belt. My swim was basic... back and forth slowly but consistently for a half hour. I'm starting to feel some strength near the end of my second week of, well, swimming. Imagine that, eh? But I'm holding back so that I don't fall into the trap of anaerobic work too soon. A short but hard weights workout. And then out

Remaining Actively Involved

Posted: 03 Jul 2008 02:48 PM CDT

The British Grand Prix weekend kicks off tomorrow morning and with David Coulthard choosing today to announce his impending retirement, we're all set for a Sunday afternoon to remember. I get the impression that DC fully intends to enjoy his last few months racing in F1, as yesterday's visit to his old team's headquarters will attest. Today's official press conference came across as a pretty relaxed affair with just the three British drivers in attendance. Plenty of banter ensued, that culmi

Why Hamilton Should Do The Triathlon With Button

Posted: 03 Jul 2008 02:17 PM CDT

An interesting story from the British Grand Prix (and bearing in mind it is only Thursday) is a challenge from Jenson Button to fellow British driver Lewis Hamilton. Apparently Hamilton recently found out about Button's triathlon endeavors and was impressed with his rival's placing - Jenson finished 117th out of 1700 participants in last month's Windsor event. An exchange of words in today's press conference ahead of the race on Sunday led to a challenge being put forward by Jenson, and initial

Into 3rd Training Day of the "Hundred Pushups" Routine

Posted: 03 Jul 2008 11:43 AM CDT

Image via Wikipedia I've decided that in my "post triathlon figure out what the next challenge will be" mode...it's best to not think too deeply and just act. So I'm going to spend the rest of the busy summer doing isometric, plyometric, core, and other alternative fun stuff to build a strength base while cutting fat through the end of August. Part of that plan is the quest to do 100 consecutive push ups by leveraging the plan over at Hundred Pushups. I'm doing well and the rest day into

In 2 1/2 weeks I'm doing my first triathlon. I've been exercising, but not nearly as much as I wanted. Tonight Rachel was picking up a friend in Sacramento. My band all had work so practice was canceled. So I went on a bike ride with Ryan and Ryan tonight. 2 1/2 hours. Approximately 25 miles. I couldn't remember where we went half the ride, but here's the best mapping I could figure out. First we weaved our way through side streets up to the top of West Cliff.

Dijon Triathlon

Posted: 01 Jul 2008 02:52 AM CDT

Last Sunday, 29th June, I was racing the Triathlon of Dijon in France. It was a distance close to a half iron man, just with a longer swim what it just made it perfect as part of my preparation for the Olympic games once we still have 7 weeks to go and a hard solid race as that it will bring me a lot of strength in the next follow weeks. My main plan on the race was to save my energies as much as could to the run and try to do the best aerobic pace I possible could! With a very good start

Allrighty! As y'all know, I did my first Triathlon as part of a 2 person team this weekend.......only because I couldn't do the swim this time. First feedback: A Tri is TOUGH! I did the cycling and running part, and that was near enough to kill me. Part I: Cycling............. My Niece did the swim, so she made the 1K swim in 11 minutes and change, first transition was done in 1:45. Here is where I came in. I took off on the cycling course. 13.82 miles, and I was riding against a 10-15 MPH h

An Iron Girl Triathlon Sherpa Report The big decision in titling this post was to include or exclude the word "Women's" before fitness. Dee Dee mentioned to Katie this weekend that I didn't want to wear my Florida 70.3 finisher's hat to the race this weekend. I explained to her that I a) didn't want to brag, and b) felt like the focus for this weekend should be on the women athletes, and rightly so. Then, the decision becomes easy. Fitness is fitness.

I've been inching my way back into triathlon shape. Last year, with my Dad's illness and time in Chicago, I didn't race and training was limited. I was already coming off my torn calf muscle, and struggled with my running. Then in early November, I had my skin cancer surgery, which required me to not stress/pump blood through the incision to help minimize scarring. Then the holidays came along. I finally started back on a regular training regime immediately post-Christmas. This is one of the f

The 100-mile Mountains to Sound relay race was run yesterday in 90 degree heat. 25% of the proceeds of the race go to ONW/Northwest client Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust. The race has 5 stages starting at Snoqualmie Pass at 3000′ and ending in Ballard, at sea level, a mile from my house. Most competitors are part of 5 person teams, but a few hardy souls attempt the race solo. My friend Brian Bruininks was one of those people who ran it solo.

Blind Special Forces soldier: determined to serve

Posted: 30 Jun 2008 06:18 AM CDT

FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — When Capt. Ivan Castro joined the Army, he set goals: to jump out of planes, kick in doors and lead soldiers into combat. He achieved them all. Then the mortar round landed five feet away, blasting away his sight. "Once you're blind, you have to set new goals," Castro said. He set them higher. Not content with just staying in the Army, he is the only blind officer serving in the Special Forces - the small, elite units famed for dropping behind enemy lines on combat mi

Kristin and her friends Sarah and Suzy participated in the Aflac Iron Girl Triathlon bright and early this morning (Kristin and Sarah left our house shortly after 5:00 AM). It was a first for all three, and judging by their smiling faces at the finish line, I think it was quite a positive experience and probably won't be their last. The event consisted of a 1/3 mile swim in Lake Lanier, then an 18-mile bike ride, and lastly a 3 mile run. The terrain is hilly in that area, thus providing a bit mo

Weekly Goals

Photo by Martin Kingsley I've been lax in posting (and achieving) weekly goals for my writing. I do think it helps me get more done, however, so here we go again. One thing you might have noticed is that I usually set goals that are a bit higher than is reasonable. I know that it's not likely that I'll do everything on my list, but having a long list means that I'll accomplish more in the long run than if I'd set a reasonable goal in the first place. Make sense? Think of it like this. If y

Common sense If you don't run 26 miles among your training runs how do you know you can run 26 miles in a marathon? Pretty simple question. So why do so many training plans top out at 20? I am making adjustments and adding 25% more miles to my long run schedule after having this discussion with Jeff Galloway yesterday. We met up for a "fun run" just up the street from me here where the marthonfest-ers assemble for their Saturday excursions. Galloway was in town and led the troops on a 1.3 m

Well!! I've decided to behave as thought I might do a triathlon in September. I have no restriction on swimming. I have permission to bike 10 miles easy, as long as it doesn't hurt. So I laid out my transition area and did a 20-minute swim followed by a 10-mile bike. All slow and easy, total time an hour and 6 minutes. I feel encouraged. Maybe a little too much so.... doing some math on my fingers, if I could increase my bike ride by 5 miles per week, it would take 8 weeks to get to 50 miles

Impressions of Ironman

Posted: 27 Jun 2008 07:57 PM CDT

It's hard to know where to start, now that it's done. How many times can I reiterate the fact that Coeur d'Alene is drop-dead beautiful? I doubt, with the race day conditions, there is a better place to do the Ironman. I'm sure, however, I'll look for a place over the years to come. So I swam the thing in 1:34 - what makes that incredible is that, folks, I really didn't do much swim training. I had an open water swim of 1:52, and then a pool swim of 1:41 at the distance - I really was hoping

Hacking Non Profits... For Profit!

Well, let me explain why I think this is more relevant than many other simple intrusions. I'll try and set it out using examples of data that I have obtained, and make some assumptions. If you agree with them, that's great, if not let's discuss! The website in question is Tricolumbia.org. A quick briefing about what tricolumbia is all about:

It was a lovely ride, even more so as we were in danger of not going because the weather forecast threatened rain and storms. But we decided that since it's not cold, getting wet shouldn't be a problem, and then all we encountered was a few sprinkles now and then. Perfect!

I've been complaining/whining or a combination of the two about my bike performance this season. It's not that it's bad. It 's that I thought it would be better. And when I get an idea stuck in my head, it festers for A LONG TIME and takes stern action to remove it. I was talking with my Coach yesterday about my recent race. I explained how I thought the swim went well, the run was awesome, and the bike was fine. In comparison to last year at this race, my watts were an average of 5 higher. She

Regular readers will be aware that one of the Reedites has a penchant for triathlons. Now I know that having the toned and muscular physique that I do, that you'll all expect it to be me - but in fact it is our fellow Parliamentary Champion, James Radford. Well a few days ago James took part in the triathlon at Blenheim, and I am sure you all know what that means...another comedy finish line video.

My One Thing

Awhile back, a few of my bloggy friends posted about their One Thing. And as we are nearing the zero hour for Ironman Coeur d'Alene, I've been thinking a lot about my One Thing. Richard Strass of Crucible Fitness has written that in order to get through Ironman, you must have One Thing. One Thing that motivates you above all else. According to Richard, The One Thing is whatever has motivated you to do this to yourself in the first place. Before the race you need to take a long, hard look in

My first triathlon

Posted: 13 Jun 2008 07:45 PM CDT

I will be running my first triathlon in August. I am 37-years-old and I figure now is as good a time as any to get started. I am training by running three days a week, biking two, and working out with dumbbells five. The most unexpected part of the exercise process, for me, is that the more I exercise, the more I want to exercise. I am addicted to the process because it makes me feel good. Not the pain and the effort during, but the feeling of satisfaction I get afterwards. I am running furth

And because she now sports Nokons, I can no longer just hose my Bitch down--I have to gingerly fondle every nook and cranny with the Bike Wash either lightly sprayed on (which I can do on the brakes and rear derailleur), or wiped on with a splooge towel (well actually a shop towel, but go with me here).

It started in the usual way with the 90-minute drive to Columbia, checking in at the Expo, and

Among other things, I accepted and embraced my desire to join, to be a part of something, to belong. I can explain it in many, many paragraphs and even more words

I had an absolute blast on the bike portion, wringing everything I could out of a hybrid 29er with flat pedals and commuter tires rescued from a dumpster. The only person happier than me is the bike, surely feeling stoked to be used to it's full potential. So many of us just do road races. I'm here to tell you to get

The first half of it, written by Jeff Henderson, is spot-on - the discussion of how we can reduce the waste and pollution that are produced in even the smallest of local triathlons. What I don't understand is why the editors had to effectively downplay such an important issue by turning it into some ridiculous debate. Editor Timothy Carlson wrote the second half of the article, which I guess is supposed to forecast what tr

Thoughts on the Wildflower Triathlon

Thoughts on the Wildflower Triathlon Posted by Julie Jag on May 1st, 2008 · 1 Comment So the Wildflower Triathlon is this weekend. Somehow, I never really think of it like a normal triathlon. Why? For starters, because these people are crazy. First off, a day competing in the Wildflower is usually preceded by a night sleeping on the hard dirt. Yeah, nothing like rolling out of the sleeping bag in the morning still grumpy at the non-competing campers who went to bed at 1 a.m. and still sore f

Iron Man, the live-action film starring Robert Downey Jr. and based on the old Marvel Comics, opens Friday. So what better time for the Two Cents to look at our favorite iron men of all time. Cal Ripken Jr. His dogged pursuit to become baseball's king of consecutive games played is considered by many to be the sport's most inspiring story and made Ripken a larger-than-life figure. Deservedly so. We all know it, but need to remind ourselves just how incredible his streak was. It spanned 2,632

Today I had the chance to talk to my daughter's 5th grade class about physical fitness and endurance sports. Oh......where to begin? The main thing I would love to get sunk into the brains of kids everywhere is that fitness is a lifestyle not a class you go to 3 times a week for 30 minutes. At some point, schooldays end and P. E. becomes a thing of the past. Then what? Unfortunately, we know what often happens and it's usually not good. I talked about triathlon training and competition. I also

I promised a triathlon post, so here goes... This season had a little bit of a bumpy start for me. I took a LOT of time off after IMCdA last year, which included running a fairly challenging marathon in October in a completely under prepared way and which I was sick during. Then, from June to the end of the year, I rode Malibu Barbie exactly twice for a total of 48 miles. Granted, I was finally putting in some decent running miles, preparing for PF Chang's and Ragnar, but then I hurt my foot

Eat Now; Run, Bike, Swim Later Finally! Someone has combined the great American sports of triathlons and eating contests. Normally, I am ambivalent about competitive eating. And while I admire athletes in general, triathlons seem like an especially extreme form of exercise. Still, I find myself unaccountably drawn to the upcoming DoughMan competition to be held May 24 in Durham, North Carolina. It mixes a traditional triathlon—biking, swimming, running (all things I enjoy doing, but not on

Shark Attack Kills Triathlete

Posted: 27 Apr 2008 12:14 AM CDT

Dave Martin, a member of the Triathlon Club of San Diego, was killed on Friday while swimming at Solano Beach near San Diego. He was out for a training swim with eight other tri club members. Apparently, sharks can mistake a person in a wet suit for a seal. The last shark attack in San Diego was in 1994, and the last one in the Los Angeles area was near Malibu in 1995. It all gives me pause before I head to Manhattan Beach tomorrow morning to swim.

Mini "Sprint" Triathlon

Thanks very much for all your well wishes about my new job. I am quite excited and it was great to share the good news with all of you! :) Sorry it has been a few days without me posting. I've been doing a lot of running around lately, but I have the next week pretty open, except for packing, so you'll probably get sick of me :) So, a few Saturdays ago my mom and I did a "sprint" triathlon at the local YMCA. There were only like 20 people signed up for it, so it only took about an hour for all

The lake itself is still frozen, but it has darkened a lot. A sure sign of open water soon. We've been here at the Cabinette since Friday mid day. We don't have

So, this morning I took my HR the old fashioned way, and I also tried using the HRM… both came back with 58… so if I did do my resting heart rate correctly yesterday (48 bpm ) then it means that my resting heart rate was up 10 beats this morning. Not sure what to make of that. I did do an 8 mile run yesterday. This afternoon I hope to go out for a bike ride, we'll see if that effects my heart rate tomorrow.

Anna Kournikova - Then or Now?

Posted: 17 Apr 2008 01:21 AM CDT

Former Tennis star Anna Kournikova has never been plump, but observers in America fear she's losing the curves which catapulted her to fame in the late '90s and developing a more slender frame. The 26-year-old blonde, who last played professional tennis in 2003, ran four miles of the Nautica South Beach Triathlon in Miami on Sunday to help raise money for St Jude's Children's Hospital. Anna's tennis physique: Anna, pictured at a charity match in 2004. Anna Kournikova competes in th

Running training: Quantity or quality?

Posted: 17 Apr 2008 01:05 AM CDT

Since I started taking up running as a sport a few years ago, it never fails to amaze me when people - ranging from experienced and to novice runners - say, "You must run everyday to train for the marathon!", "What is your weekly mileage? 100 to120km?", "Do you run every day?" There seems to be a preoccupation with the amount or volume of running one engages in, which almost seems to imply that more is better.

Weight Loss Interviews - Steve

Posted: 16 Apr 2008 06:23 PM CDT

Steve was 160 pounds when he graduated from high school and entered the Navy but years later, at 38 and being married for almost 13 years, he broke the 200 pound mark topping out at 212. Steve says he started burn the fat, feed the muscle on my recommendation and dropped 25 pounds. A knee injury a few months later stopped him in his tracks and the weight began to creep back on. He started blogging about his journey on the website No More Fat Dad, and says his turning point was in 2005 when he o

Alabama Chicken and Egg Festival, Moulton AL

Posted: 16 Apr 2008 11:40 AM CDT

This weekend we went to the Alabama Chicken and Egg Festival in Moulton. Shug had a big time seeing all the bantam chickens that were there (over 100) and if he had been just a little bit older, he could have enjoyed all the different activities in the children's section. We got there in time to see the egg eating contest: ...which was funny but the thought of all those hard-boiled eggs was also a little yucky! The winner ate 22 eggs in five minutes. I wonder how many eggs Joey Chestnut could

Try, Tri again.

Posted: 16 Apr 2008 11:01 AM CDT

Sunday I competed in my second triathlon. Even though I really didn't do all that well compared to others who were there (I placed 85 out of 103), I was still pretty excited about how I did for me. I still got passed a ton on the bike, but most of the other competitors were men, so I didn't feel too bad about that, and I still managed to finish that leg in about 45 minutes. My run was still about 27 minutes, which I consider success since running 9 minute miles after swimming AND biking seems pr

The Ties that Bind: Part Deux

Posted: 16 Apr 2008 08:22 AM CDT

Over a year and a half ago, I wrote this post about the ties that bind us together. Much better, is it not, than the differences that separate us? I was pondering, contemplating if you will, the synergy in running (mostly, at that time), triathlon, and blogging that made good friends out of people who would otherwise be perfect strangers. The Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport flip flops back and forth as the busiest airport in the United States. As such, I get all kinds of visits from bloggers

Amateur Day at the Pool

Posted: 16 Apr 2008 08:17 AM CDT

I guess all the people who swim one day a week choose Wednesday, because there was a continuous stream of amateurs while I was there, and I was in the water swimming by 6:30AM. I say this because I swim Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning (and sometimes Saturday), and I know that the Masters swim on Tuesday and Thursday, so odds are anyone who shows up on Wednesday is not there on Tuesday and Thursday, which leaves Monday and Friday and I don't see these people on those days. I wo

And I've got to believe that because of how much spectating of the Ironman blows donkeys, the actual race itself has got to be the worst thing in the history of the world. SOOOO totally not my scene. But props to everyone else. I commend thee. Don't get me wrong... I love the atmosphere of the Ironman
