@csman49 - oh no...what did you do to your ankle? just aggravation from sunday? ice & ibuprophen for both the knee and the ankle
have you tried riding on the trainer to see if you can at least do an easy spin? 0 -
No biking today, as my folks dropped in for a visit. Still, hoping to get in 50+ miles on the saddle tomorrow (along with another swim) as my next weekend guest isn't coming in until the evening, and I'm all set on laundry, housecleaning, and groceries.

@gobonas99 you know what? My knee was a bit rough prior to sunday's HM, if i was a regular HM runner i would probably have skipped it, but i'm not so i did it anyway... the knee was definitely aggravated by it (from around the 10th km), i'm guessing that the ankle possibly took a bit of a hammering trying to lessen the impact on the knee?? Its the front part of the foot in the bit where the front of the foot meets the bottom of the shin. It was swollen and a bit bruised, now mostly just a little swollen. Hence i've stuck to swimming this week.
I might try a gentle spin over the weekend, also hoping to hit the lake on sunday
I might also increase the float on my pedals

Hi,
Nice to see that there's some very active people here. I would like to join your ranks! I am Jasper, dutch and I do triathlon. I am training for my 3rd tri (1/8), which will be in a month. I do this sport because I love training as much as doing the competitions - I feel very alive when I am active! My goal this month is to increase my training and to break my personal record (that I just set) on the 1/8 distance; 1:10:31, and get it to about 1:05:00 (this is my high goal. My secondary goal is just to break my previous record). My focus will be to improve my swimming technique (-0.5 to -1 minute), practice transitions (-1 minute), train running (-2 to -3 minutes) and train cycling (-1 minute). This is probably overly optimistic, but so far I have always exceeded my highest expectations so we'll see if this trend continues (or if it stops here). My training goals are to run, cycle and swim at least two to three times, gradually increasing speed and distance (but carefully to avoid overtraining). In the process I would like to lose 2-4 kg, which should make me faster.
For this week:
Su May 17: 5 kilometer run
Mo May 18: 1 kilometer swim
Tu May 19: 30 kilometer bike ride
We May 20: 5 kilometer run
Th May 21: 1 kilometer swim
Fr May 22: 5 kilometer run
Sa May 23: 30 kilometer bike ride
Feedback is always welcome of course!
I will read the rest of this thread later to read about you and your exercise experiences!
Cheers,
Jasper

Bike: 91 miles total. Easy 90 minute spin this evening
Run: 16.5 miles total . 5 miles on Thursday night.
Swim: 4400 meters total. Had to share my lane with a couple of elderly water aerobics ladies this morning, but I still got a quick speed workout in this morning.
X-training total: 7 hrs of backpacking
Strength: 2 sessions done.
I think my goal from here on out is to actually be able to complete my planned workouts. I've been alternately sick , injured or lazy for the past two months. Hoping things will balance out now that race season is on.
First tri of the season next weekend. Charity sprint race, right up the road.
Finally!!!

5/15 - Rest Day
5/16 - was supposed to do a 15k run today, but I'm still getting used to my new shoes with the lower drop (and the sore calves that come with that LOL), so my coach changed it to a brick - 8.7 mile bike ride in 31:01 and 4.72 mile run in 45:01- total 1:15:02
Totals through 5/16:
Swim: 4.35 miles in 2.94 hours (3 swims)
Bike: 103.17 miles in 6.71 hours (7 rides)
Run: 36.11 miles in 5.95 hours (8 runs)
Yoga: 1 class0 -
My weekend guest wanted to try some open water swimming, and the gulf was both warm and flat this morning, so I ended up helping him with his open water technique (tarzan stokes/sighting/wave surges, etc..) this morning, adding some unexpected extra distance to my water total. He also wanted to run late last night, and bike today, so no complaints to oblige on those ends. Still, I'm hoping to get in a long ride tomorrow after he heads off as I'll be returning to the very hilly northeast on Monday and I'd rather rack up the longer mileage on the flats here in Florida.

Hello,
I am new to multisport. I have been following this thread for a while now and finally decided to post.
My journey began with a commitment. A little more than a year ago I weight over 260 pounds. I wanted to commit to losing weight. Last summer I was watching a highlight reel from one of the Kona races and decided if Gordon Ramsey could do a triathlon I could too, albeit not an Ironman.
Since then I have lost almost 75 pounds and have been going to the gym most days. My practice times are abysmal compared to all of yours but I am still very proud of my progress.
My first triathlon is on the 31st of this month. At several times I have thought of backing out but reading about your dedication has spurred me on. I will be doing a sprint 400/18.5/5K.
I believe I have put in enough training time to finish successfully. My times will not be great but I will not finish last either. I have done some group swims and runs. The bike leg is my strongest point. The run my weakest. But I will not stop.
Thanks for letting me chime in and I wish success to all of you this season.0 -
@cblue315 Welcome to the wonderful, insane world of triathlon! Good luck at your first race. My first race was a comedy of errors, but I was hooked the second I crossed that finish line!
Bike: 101 miles total. Fun easy ride with my dad after we watched the Tour of California today. He was inspired by Sagan and kept trying to get the drop on me. Even wore his lime green jersey in honor of his favorite cyclist.
Run: 22.5 miles total. Opted to race the 5.4 miler today instead of the 2 loop, 10 mile course so I could ride this afternoon. Really technical, really muddy, really hilly trail, had a great time. Finished in the top half of the women's field @1:03. Pretty happy with that for my first trail race.
Swim: 4400 meters total.
X-training total: 7 hrs of backpacking
Strength: 2 sessions done.
Feeling good, ready to race for real on Saturday!

@cblue315 welcome to the thread. Did my first sprint last summer at 195 after working my way down from 260 (and was looking for more of a challenge after doing my first marathon). You'll do fine. Just check out an occasional youtube video on transitions, race etiquette, etc..
Have done an olympic since (along with 2 more marathons and handful of half marathons/10k/5k/etc..) and am down in the 160s now as my times have significantly improved due to weight loss and racking up the miles.
Still, beware as it can get addictive 0 -
It's late autumn here ... pitch black and chilly in the evenings now. So getting outside in the evenings is more of a challenge nevertheless, I'll see what I can do. My husband is working on setting up a gym inside, so that will help ... and there are always weekends.

Plus I did a 35 min stair climbing workout in the evening. My yard is full of little sets of stairs. The longest one is 7 steps so I mainly focused on that one, up and down, up and down, but I also jogged between the others and did them too for some variety. In total, just over 1000 stairs climbed.
