  1. For your first I would say 3:10 overall which would be just under 18 mph average but it also depends on the course.
  2. Exactly. My first time in the pool I couldn’t even go a length and it mentally fucked me and the guy I train with was laughing at first but through hard work I am a swimmer now. Triathlons are about improving yourself and I can tell you I respect the hell out of anyone who signs up and puts it out there to see what they are made of. I love hanging out at the end of the race and cheering people on during the cut off. Those are the people that are really challenging themselves and it chokes me up sometimes.
  3. I hate to say it but I treat this like I treat the war against Russia. I want as much pain as possible.
  4. It’s all breathing. I would recommend breathing on the same side every stroke on that side at first. This will sound weird but if you could get someone to film you I can help you. I can guarantee you that you are using your legs too much. Kick from your hips and not your calves.
  5. It’s a perfect practice day and looking at times I could win the whole thing.
  6. We are doing the Half because we are men.
  7. https://www.trisignup.com/Race/TN/Spencer/TriFallCreekFallsTriathlon I am going to do this race this summer as a training day. You should look into it. I will get your hotel room if you come up.
  8. I did swim last year in 35:49 but I had a little help with current. I am not a great swimmer but I train with 2 who have turned me into a little above average. They have been able to critique a few things and they’ve made a big difference. One of them told me “ you dont’ have a swimming problem but you do have a breathing problem” and that did wonders for my confidence. Even if you train in swimming only to get a little faster as it is more about being fresh for the rest of the day. I’ve seen several people shoot their wad on the swim and were spent for the day. Speaking of fitness, I just dropped another $200 on shoes today so if you are keeping score at home that is $749 in less than a week.
  9. I swear the hardest training day is the rest day. I am miserable.
  10. Maybe he will be good. I mean he did totally promise to just stop drinking.
  11. Officially signed up for Nooga 70.3 since it was 90% full. Goodbye $548 !
  12. It does but barely but more importantly fuck em.
  13. Yep, I had to go in the office today and several were asking me how I felt. I said I am a white guy so this shit don’t affect me. Several of the women who voted for Trump just looked at me dumbfounded. I hope Trump tariffs and deports the fuck out of it all. I will sit back and say this is what you get.
  14. For 70.3 this year I will be riding every weekend at least 40-60 miles and running 6- 8 after. Still doing spin twice a week with most of them being about 1:20 and running some after. In previous 70.3’s I just wasn’t biking enough. Speed work will be on Wednesday’s For the 140.6 I am not changing much. I will still do at least 3 century rides and after one of them I will do a 16 mile run. Somehow for my first 140.6 last year I nailed training and just fucked up not bringing salt tablets on the run. One thing I have learned over the last 4 years is I need Ironman’s to keep me on a good path otherwise I drink too much. This might be my last full as there is a promotion at work coming up and if I take it my work will get hectic for awhile.
  15. If I didn’t have something going on May 10th I would come to PCB and help you for the weekend. It will be here before you know it. What do you think you’ve learned from your first 70.3 that you are doing different for training now ?
  16. Good luck. I hope you’re drinking some electrolytes.
  17. Got this today. Pretty happy with it overall but I can be in top 10% this year.
  18. March I am doing a half marathon and pushing a kid in a chair May 70.3 September 140.6 I will sprinkle in some racing in between May and September.
  19. This is exactly why I carry a high credit card balance Was this fire made in a lab in China?
