spent the weekend cleaning out the garage and moving the camper out so i could access the summer bikes. while moving the camper it began to roll forward toward the downhill slanting driveway so i ran in front of it a pushed HARD to stop it. feel kinda like i ripped my calves off in doing so. so not much running for me for a while. maybe time to work on the swim stroke.

#580: Violating the 20 minute rule,but in my opinion, Pigman 3 weeks out is the perfect "last long workout". Done it a couple times with no problem. I'd much rather do that than some stupid 22 mile run with no finish line and no hardware...

Yes, I'm back. Killing time on Jr's computer at his place..... he's still sleeping off last nights Hawks game.

So, I got into the San Francisco Women's Nike Marathon on Oct. 18th. You get a tiffany's necklace instead of a medal when you finish. I couldn't pass that up.

Is that oo soon after Imoo? Think I'll be up to running another 26.2 at that point? I could always crawl, right?

Hi D2P. Long time no chat. What's on your calendar for 2009?

#581  thomps  

Thursday, April 9, 2009 06:53 AM Host: trojan.wpl.com

Trick: I did Pigman in 2004 and then Ironman 4 weeks later. Had much better Ironman performance doing Racine 7 weeks out from IM last year. If you factor in a week for recovery and 10 days of taper, that's a pretty small window for the high mileage weekends that usually occur around 3 weeks before the IM.

Doing a half earlier also gives you a chance to work on the weakest link or hydration/nutrition issues prior to IM day.

Others may have had better luck racing closer, but if my 'A' race of the year is IMOO, it's an easy decision. But, that's only my experience.

Rookie09: It's all about the bike.

Hey Rookie09,

Welcome to the IMoo page. What reading have you done on training? Any books? websites? Local heros giving you advice already? That might help in figuring out what you already know regarding training. There are lots of folks on here that know tons about training. THe page seems to get busy a little later in the season...

So 2009 will be my first Ironman and I'm just looking for any veteran training advice out there? While most posts seem to pertain to non-IM material I'm guessing you all have a lot more knowledge than me. Any recommendations or things I should focus on? Any advice at all? Any help that could be offered would be awesome.

I had a nice ride Tuesday as well. Not quite short sleeve weather, but getting close.

In bball news, I went around to a few of the sports sites and filled out brackets. Not that I know or care much about roundball, but free prizes are worth a shot. I got around to Foxsports close to the deadline, so their input screens were a little slow. When I got to the final four, it started freaking and giving me "System Unavailable" message. It finally let me through, and I finished up, or so I thought. Looking at the top of the page, I saw that it had let me into someone else's bracket! So.... Berkly, whoever you are, your finals results are not what you thought they were.

It's official...my 30 week training program started yesterday. I did great. It actually started with a rest day. I really think I can keep this up. We'll see how today goes with actually having to do something "sporty". They don't call me "sporty spice" for nothing. Okay, just kidding. My friends do call me that but mostly because I don't give a rats behind about the usual sports like football, baseball, and basketball. Hope I didn't offend anyone. But really, who has the time? Unless, of course, Marquette Univ. makes it into March Madness. That, I may pay attention to.

One day down, 209 to go. Bring on the coffee...I'm gonna need it!!
