The finish line was way better at Texas Ironman vs. Great Floridian 140.6, but that was the only difference for me! I still felt like an ironman after finishing Great Floridian! Either way, you know you are out there doing something great! :)

Ironman TX is in two days! I'll be a spectator this year and will love cheering my friends on!! :)

I need to step it up from last month. LOL So goals: 6.0 mile swim I have tendonities and bursitis in my right shoulder so I think that's all I can take bike 112 miles run 60 miles....needs to be more than the 19 I did last month!

My numbers are so lacking, but that's ok! Swim 6.3 miles Bike 62.8 miles Run 19 miles.....not real sure what happened on this one! There's always room for improvement. Moving on to March! Lots of peeps putting up some impressive totals! Way to Go!!

Crux, I did Gulf Coast tri 70.3 which has an ocean swim. I didn't notice the salt water after. Too many other things to think about. That said, it's very hard to site out in the ocean. Luckily there was a tall hotel that someone told me to site, so that helped me stay on track. Also, swimming in the ocean is like swimming…

I generally follow the rule of, if I have to take antibiotics, then I don't work out until they're done. So, colds I work through! :)

LOL, I'd puke too. And I really hope its yards not meters because I feel slow now! lol But, I didn't swim in college. :)

Here's the plan: 4/7 sprint 5/5 sprint 6/3 sprint 8/5 sprint 8/25 olympic 9/30 olympic 11/4 half ironman 11/10 warrior dash and I may do the MS 150 which is a bike ride from Houston to Austin. It's in April.

You're doing 100's on 1:20, 1:15 and 1:10? Dude, I didn't even have to do that in high school! Well on the days my coach gave us 60 x 100 we ended up on 1:20 and below, but when it got to 1:10, we were just coming in. I'm lucky to get in at 1:20 now. Kudos to you!

Ok so I'm finally in again! I had chest pain for three months, but my doctor put me on a med to block pain receptors and I'm finally back to working out! I didn't work out for three month which is very unusual for me! So, in January this is what I did: Run 31 miles Bike 48 miles Swim 9.4 miles My February goals will be:…

Name: Susan Age: 38 Lives: Houston, Texas I'm a mother to a six year old and 3.5 year old twins. I was a special education teacher for 13 years and now I'm a registered nurse. I work in the Neonatal ICU. I was a swimmer growing up, and after college I started to run. After my first marathon in 2001, I decided to try…

Bodyglide works wonders!

I always find Gale Bernhardt's training plans to be user friendly. I don't look at them and feel overwhelmed. I always feel like they are realistic for someone who is just looking to finish and not place in the top three! That said, I always use her plans as a guideline. I'm a strong swimmer, so I tend to skip extra swim…

You gotta have someone to swim with or find a master's group. I have a swim partner and she keeps me accountable for getting to the pool. Otherwise, I would ditch those workouts and I'm a swimmer. LOL

I did Great Floridian Iron Distance in 2003 and Ironman Texas in 2010. Plan to do another in 2015! Love the distance!

Count me in. I've been major slacking since I've been dealing with heartburn for nearly three months now, so we'll see how it goes. I'll think about my goals and post them in the next couple of days! :) Good luck to everyone and Happy New Year!
