I hope I'm not repeated stuff that's already been posted (but I probably am): You can't drink just water. If you are exercising for more than 90 minutes, you HAVE to use an electrolyte replacement drink. I'm still trying to find the perfect one: I used powerade because it tasted good and I could but it at the supermarket…

Which triathlon is it and what is the date? I might be able to do the swim.

I did 17.5 miles today. Total this week so far: 47.5.

Make sure you have entered your personal information into the HRM. It will base its calorie expenditure on your height, weight, age and heart rate. Also make sure that it is registering your heart rate. Mine is a Polar F11, which is coded so it won't tell me that my heart rate is really that of the person next to me; it…

I did not meet my goal of 73 last week, so I'm making that my goal this week. I did 40 yesterday.

I have a trek 11i. It has time, distance, pace and (most inportant) cadence.

I have the Polar F11 and I love it. I've had it 4 years and replaced the battery twice. When the display stopped working last year, I sent it back to Polar and they fixed it for free (still under warranty). It does heart rate, average HR, tracks 7 days worth of workouts and will develop work out goals for you. I even use…

Monday: 15.1 in the trainer (it was hot here) Wednesday: 18.3 on the trainer Friday: 35.1 outside on a beautiful day! Friday was the best day: I dropped my son off at camp; swam; bike 35 miles; had lunch (Robeks and a Potbelly sandwich); and went to the wine store. It was sunny, not so humid and in the high 80s, low 90s.

Just finished a 30.8 mile ride. So, 63.7 total this week. I'm going to try to do 73 next week.

Congrats on the 1000 miles! I just got back from an 18.4 mile ride. That's 32.9 for me this week. My long ride is tomorrow.

No internet access for most of the week, and no biking since my last post. I'm going out for an hour today and a 30 miles ride tomorrow. My first long training ride for the Seagull. Shorerider: if you are signing up for it, let me know your rider number and I'll look for you there.

Last week I did 59.6 miles including 27 miles during a triathlon. I had to slow down my ride twice during the race for ambulances coming through to pick up a bunch of riders who wiped out on a pretty steep turning descent. I am planning to do a Century ride on October 4 in Salisbury, MD, so I'm going to be increasing my…

My schedule for the week of June 29-July 5 was Bike 16.30 miles on Sunday Bike 23.55 miles on Thursday Bike 37.3 miles on Saturday for total of 77.15 miles. This week, so far: Bike 13.90 miles on Sunday Bike 18.7 miles today I will be doing 27 miles on Saturday in a triathlon, so no more biking until then. I've got to rest…

Just finished 23.5 miles; which brings me to 39.85 miles this week. I plan to do a 2 hour ride on Saturday.

I did 4.3 miles this morning.

I did 3.35 this morning on my treadmill. I'm still working on upping my miles as I had a stress fracture in January.

Last week 64.10. I just got back from a 16.3 mile ride in the 91 degree heat. I think I'll go to the pool and cool off.

6 miles.

Tuesday 5.3 Thursday 24.4 (trainer) Today 34.4 64.1 this week.

Yes, the Ironman is the endurance sport of endurance sports. Irongirl is very different. Check out their website: www.irongirl.com. There are 10 Irongirl event across the country, not all of them are triathlons. The one I'm doing is in Columbia, MD, very close to where I live. I raced in the original Irongirl triathlon 2…

I started doing triathlons in 2005 and have completed 6 of them. I''m doing another one on July 12 and Iron Girl on August 24. Are there any other Triathletes here?

I have the F11 and I love it.

5 Miles.

I changed my own flat tire yesterday from hitting the large rock on Tuesday and felt quite proud of myself. Today I did 24.4 miles on my bike trainer (it was HOT outside). 29.7 miles so far this week.

Got to mile 5.3 yesterday when I hit a large rock and flattened my rear tire. I'll try again tomorrow.

I was out of town last week so no biking miles. I'm back in the saddle tomorrow A.M.

I just finished 3.84 miles. I did a 5 K on Saturday in Fitchburg, Mass., and finished in 29.55 minutes. I was pretty happy!

I just finished 3 miles.

Last week (June 8-14) Sunday 22.1 miles Tuesday 28.7 miles Friday 14.3 + 18.5 Total: 83.6 miles This week: All I'll get in is the 13.5 I did yesterday. I'm off to visit relatives and to a conference, then I return and go directly to Massachusetts to see my husband's relatives. No biking or swimming and probably no time to…

Today I did 13.5: A short ride but intense: hill repeats. !5 minutes of warm up then up a large hill 5 times (ride up, coast down, repeat). Can't get any more miles in this week because I'll be away, but I hope to get over 80 miles next week. Be safe out there this week!
