    03 Wed - 3 km walking (35 min) + 50 min on bicycle on trainer in basement
    04 Thurs - 2.5 km walking (30 min) + 5 flights of stairs ... tired today
    05 Fri - 3.6 km walking (45 min) + 10 flights of stairs ... so far, there might be a bit more yet.

    June Time: 315 min (5 hours 15 min) walking + cycling + some extra time climbing flights of stairs


    06 Sat - 100 kilometre ride on our Bike Friday Pocket Llamas (folding bikes). The route was relatively flat, but had the added challenge of rain for the first half of the ride. Fortunately it was a warm day for winter, and wasn't at all windy for a change!

    That was the longest distance we have ridden the folding bikes so far. It was kind of a test ride to see how we would go over that distance. We were reasonably comfortable. I was having a few back/right hip issues, but stretching seemed to help.

    100.72 km in 6 hours 25 min 34 sec total.
    (Moving time was 5 hours 31 min 26 sec)

    Gentle saunter as the boy wanted to go for a cycle ride. This generally involves walking uphill, gentle jog on the flats, and fast downhill sprints as he heads towards a T junction! Fastest sprint recorded at 25kmh.

    The commute to work is definitely a good way to get the cycle km's up. The river path is gravelly, so not a lot of 'rolling', plus a lot of stops to get through gates/bridges = good workout!

    New bike frame from China ordered thursday, was dispatched saturday. Awaiting with trepidation. Meanwhile, have ordered a 105 groupset, plus all the odds n sods to build it. Only things i'm short of is a saddle (will use my current saddle) and pedals. And a seat post clamp! Not sure i've picked the right gearing though, currently use 39/52 (tiagra crank) with 11-28. I never get in to the 11, so i shot for 36/52 12-28. I don't have many hills where i am, but that doesn't mean i wont have more hills in the future. Currently the 39 does me fine for my hills, maybe i should go for 11-25? Suck it and see i think.

    What are peoples thoughts on carbon fibre for seatpost and handlebars? I've bought alloy for now. I have a feeling that a CF handlebar failure is only ever going to end badly. Also, will be needing new tyres soon. The Gatorskins do seem quite bulletproof, but between the trainer and the gravel tracks, i'll not get much longer, and would like to get new ones bedded in. I'm thinking of moving from 23mm Gators to 25mm GP4000Sii

    Waiting to hear how @gobonas99 got on!?

    Goals:
    swim: 6.25/10k (62.5% there....)
    cycle: 30/160k (18.75% there....)
    run: 20/50k (40% there....)
    events scheduled: 15k run + Olympic distance triathlon

    June 1: 10k cycle
    June 7: 4k swim
    June 14: 15k run
    lost track of the dates past this point! (= oops....)

    & csman49.... I'll PURELY admit.
    I think more about the comfort of the saddle as opposed to the seatpost!
    (but then again... the stock seat that's on my bike is FAAAARRR from comfy)
    :(

    *sigh* So....I officially HATE Mother Nature. :/ Not sure if I will ever forgive her... :'( Swim went great, bike was FAB (10 min course PR)...run was going great, if a little slower than I'd wanted - the course is a double out and back....I was .2 miles from the third turnaround when we were told to turn around and seek shelter in a garage because of an incoming storm. Full race report is here, because I just can't bear to write about it again. This was a "one shot" deal for me, per agreement with my hubby, because the training time is so much.

    6/21 - Ironman 70.3 (or rather, IM 67.15, everyone was pulled off the run course due to weather) - per my Garmin: 1.24mi swim in 44:55, T1 6:30, 55.25 mile bike in 3:33:17, T2 4:48, 10.25 miles of the run in 2:15:23 - total 6:44:54
    6/22 - Lofty Ladies recovery ride - 15.01 miles in 1:04:54
    6/23 - Recovery ride with some rollers - 24.01 miles in 1:34:56

    Totals through 6/23:
    Swim: 8.31 miles (plus prob .5 for the missed yardage on 6/13) in 5.40 hours (7 swims)
    Bike: 309.39 miles in 20.66 hours (12 rides)
    Run: 33.27 miles in 6.23 hours (9 runs)
    Yoga: 3 classes (plus 2 15 min bonus yoga sessions after LL)

    Next up: Corporate Tri mini sprint (400M swim, 9 mile bike, 2 mile run) on Thurs July 9.

    @gobonas99 very sorry to hear that your run was cut short. I'm sure you'll kick *kitten* at your next race, even if it is a bit shorter than planned. Sounds like you can make a reasonable argument for trying another one soon although I'm not sure what is still available in the 70.3 series.

    Finally finished updating my city commuter. Kinda sad that having a nicer road bike has made me want to upgrade my city bike as I know what a solid racer feels like. Still, given all of the experience I've now gained from replacing wheels/tires, cassettes, brake pads, cranks, seats, tuning deraileurs, and a bottom bracket, I'm now feeling much more mechanically competent.

    @gobonas99 Great report! Crap about the unfortunate weather :neutral: i'm sure hubby will be very understanding though... "no dear, i meant just one 70.3 THIS year, next year i can do another". Well done on the 67.5 :)

    6/17- 1500 m swim+ 6 mi bike

    Whoa, it's been a while! I took a mini break from logging/ hard training over the weekend to clear my head, but here's what I've accomplished recently:

    6/18- 30 min yoga
    6/19- rest! I'm NOT getting enough sleep these days
    6/20- 1400 m. Swim- w/u, time trial, cooldown
    6/21- 25 minutes strength, 2000m swim, 10.4 mi bike ride with Dad for Father's Day
    6/22- 2500m swim
    6/23- rest day! Bought Dad Jimmy Buffett tickets for Fathers Day. And, in Cincinnati, a Buffett concert is a day-long event... We had an awesome time!

    Swim: 16400 m
    Bike: 160.4mi
    Run: 31.4 mi
    X-train: 110minutes yoga, 25 min strength

    Doing a swim focused block right now, then on to a cycling block, which is a bit of a relief because my bad leg has been acting up- chronic knee injury is causing all manner of hip, glute, and ankle problems... But, I really, really, really want to run. I've been walking about 3-4 miles more than usual each day to fill the void, lol.

    @gobonas99 Sorry again about your shortened race. That is so freaking frustrating. I think you should get a custom 67.15 bumper sticker, though, :wink:

    TLDR: don't bother, I'm just rambling.

    Thanks all. Those of us who got pulled off the course are *supposedly* getting 1/2 off another open 70.3 race...but there's no way I'll be able to travel to do a race. I'm actually considering another local 70.3 - the Musselman on July 12th - it's soon enough that I'll still be trained and won't have another volume build. I'm going to discuss with my coach after work tonight, to see what he thinks, before I bother to mention it to the hubs.

    6/24 - 17.29 mile easy ride in 1:01:58
    6/25 - 1.25mi easy open water swim in 47:46

    Totals through 6/25:
    Swim: 9.56 miles (plus prob .5 for the missed yardage on 6/13) in 6.19 hours (8 swims)
    Bike: 326.68 miles in 21.69 hours (13 rides)
    Run: 33.27 miles in 6.23 hours (9 runs)
    Yoga: 3 classes (plus 2 15 min bonus yoga sessions after LL)

    Bike news.... The frame has made it from China all the way to the UK (arrived a couple of days ago) and has been back and forth through customs a couple of time. I'm now waiting for the import duty bill to arrive. Made a few calls, looks like its going to cost me around £24 in duty. Once that's done, it should be delivered next working day. So maybe monday.

    Just running & biking today. Ended up doing some interval training (8x400s) during my run today, and surprised myself with my pace.

    @csman49 it is amazing how global bike part purchasing has been getting these days. I bought new wheels/tires from wiggle (UK) 2 weeks back, and they arrived in 2 business days to the states with their free "up to 8 business days" shipping option. Luckily the price was low enough that it wasn't hit with a duties charge, although I guess I got lucky as their import air hub arrival point was nearby.

    Realized yesterday that I'm bad at math, and over-estimated how many lengths are in a mile at a short course pool (70.4 vs. thought it was 75) - I'm not using any of that "swimmers mile" BS either :) Still, not going to adjust my historical numbers as I always seem unsure about double/skip counting a lap or two during my swim workouts.

    Had a good workout day today otherwise, staying on track to hit my numbers. Might even pull off 150 running miles if all goes well. Although I wanted to end this month around the century mark for weight loss (from my max 3 years ago - been going slow & steady at 3lb/month), my appetite has unfortunately kept up with my workout schedule, so it'll likely be late July by the time I get there.

    6/27 - 25.01 mi bike in 1:34:27 (15 min easy, 45 min pe 6/7, 30 min pe 5) - the winds today though meant that most of my effort was spent keeping the bike going forward, vs using that effort for speed. But at least I beat the rainstorm, so I didn't have to clean my bike LOL

    Almost there... 2 more days to go... might put a handful more miles on the bike while the sun is out tonight though. Got my first "swimmers high" about halfway through my swim today - I got into a rhythm, my lap time shrunk about about 5 seconds, my shoulder soreness seemed to disappear, and time just seemed to fly by. I think I need to figure out how to recreate that sensation.

    What are peoples thoughts on carbon fibre for seatpost and handlebars? I've bought alloy for now. I have a feeling that a CF handlebar failure is only ever going to end badly. Also, will be needing new tyres soon. The Gatorskins do seem quite bulletproof, but between the trainer and the gravel tracks, i'll not get much longer, and would like to get new ones bedded in. I'm thinking of moving from 23mm Gators to 25mm GP4000Sii

    Slow to reply on this. For my good bike (specialized roubaix comp), I've only had the combo CF seatpost (w. zertz inserts) along with the CF frame, and can't seem to distinguish what is providing me with the dull thud vs. harsh bump of my old aluminum bike. Still, it definitely feels infinitely less harsh than my old aluminum bike. For tires, very happy with my michelin lithion 2s as I've had them on 2 bikes so far (both 700x25 and 700x23 - I'd go with the 25 first for ride quality), they seem pretty hard to distinguish the from pro 4s, and they are pretty inexpensive ($16/tire US from wiggle - not sure what UK pricing is). No input on a CF handlebar. Still, start with the CF frame, see if that dulls out your bumps, then pick up the seatpost if it isn't enough (or if you really need to shave off a few more ounces).

    6/28 Mohican Sprint Triathlon-
    750 m swim, 15 miles bike, 3.1 run.
    It. Was. Brutal. :smiley:

    Race Report (it's long, I won't be offended if you skip it):
    Pouring rain, about 55 degrees at the start, 20 mph winds.
    Swim was really choppy- I took it super slow and felt pretty good, but it was a looong 750 meters.
    The bike course was amazing, just constant steep climbing and descents with 90 degree turns at the bottom. I was passing people up hill, which was mind boggling for me, because I've never been a good climber, but people were walking up the some of them, so... It was absolutely pouring, I heard later that quite a few people crashed, but I was on my road bike which apparently handled a lot better than the aero bikes with disc wheels in the crazy crosswinds. My bike computer stopped working 5 miles in, so I was riding entirely based on feel, so I was probably not pushing myself hard enough.
    Run was a nice uneventful course that wound through the campgrounds. I was taking it pretty easy, chatting with people I passed, waving to befuddled campers, generally having fun. Most other folks were in sufferfest mode, but I have always loved the rain and wasn't shooting for a win, so I just made friends instead. Came in about 15 minutes off the top finishers' pace, right in the middle of the pack, but that was enough to win my age group, so I got a shiny belt buckle AND a medal out of the day! Nice little bit of redemption for me, as this course was my first tri ever and I crashed hard into a ditch on the bike and had to walk the entire run then...

    Swim: 19,150 m
    Bike: 175.4mi
    Run: 40.7 mi
    X-train: 110 minutes yoga, 25 min strength

    TLDR: don't bother, I'm just rambling.

    Today's race was hard. I suffer with bad feet, and rough ground can cause a lot of pain. So imagine my surprise to discover that this was practically cross-country! And raining. Anyway, PB'd for 5km by 30 seconds.

    My 6yr old had his kids race. He was AMAZING! He set off at the start a little too eager, and went flat on his face, and all the other kids passed him. But the little fella got straight back up and into it. At the half way point he'd got up to 4th!! He started flagging then, but bless him, he gave it absolutely EVERYTHING! He finished about 8th ish out of around 25 kids. Thoroughly deserves his medal!

    Bikes coming along well. Impressed with the build quality. Headset was no problem. Had slight issue with the BB, but it was the Shimano part, not the frame. Remaining tasks - trim gear cabling to neaten the cockpit, fit casette, ffit pedals, set up gears, bartape, final bolt check. Test. On paper, weighs in at 7.5kg

    Ended up going for an extra evening ride yesterday to take advantage of the 9PM sunset, making today's remaining total a bit more manageable. 40 minutes in the pool, 1 hour of running, and a rainy 75 minutes on the bike later and I've hit my goal.

    Got a nice surprise as well this AM as stepping on the scale (after my run) put me 100lb below my max from 3 years ago. I suspect I'll need to (slowly) shave off 20 more pounds over the next 2 years to run a Boston Qualifying time (as it'll get me to an optimal marathoner BMI), but otherwise I'm pretty happy with my landing point given my level of muscle.

    I'll probably put in a few more miles of running & biking tomorrow along with hitting the weight room, but definitely happy to hit my very aggressive fitness goal for the month with a day to spare.
