No longer in Pearland. I’ve done the Pearland half twice and Houston half (in October) and the Houston full (in January) twice. I moved to Tyler about 4 months ago.

Big oof man. So sorry. Hey, 3 weeks is plenty of time if you rehab correctly. Stay off it, give it a week of no running with rest, ice, compression, elevate. You may be surprised how you feel next weekend. I did the same thing last year as well on a 16 miler. Didn’t run for a week, went out and did 18. My back is finally starting to feel almost back to normal. I’ll probably do one or two more rest days then get back to the grind. My wife and I were talking and we may run the blue bell half in late March. Anybody ever do that race in Brenham?

I had to bite the bullet and go see a doc in the box today for my back. Doc did his assessment and said I had a strain in my lower back causing back spasms. No shit doc, give me a shot and some meds. I gotta get back to training.

This right here. It doesn’t matter if you’re first or last. If you can’t run, walk, if you can’t walk, crawl. Just don’t stop moving forward.

I forgot that your half is in May and your full is in September. Timing makes sense.

For me, I did the swim in 50 minutes in Waco. It wasn’t hard at all. @Clintonaldois a much better swimmer than I am. He’s around 40 minutes I believe for a 1.2 mile swim. Tweeked my back this morning…putting on my riding shorts. I’m out for at least 3 days.

I’m not a burner at all. I ran 2023 Houston with my wife. She’s a lot slower than me and I think we did 4:50. I told her I’m running on my own for 2024 and ran a 3:49 which I was very happy with. We then met some friends in Vegas to run in April 2024 and I ran about half of it with a buddy. If I had gone by my own pace I would have gotten under 3:30. I really only look at Boston qualifying times and I’m wayyyy off for my age group. I think 35-39 is under 3 hours now for a qualifying time. I’ll try doing sub 3:30 for MCM in October.- Running / Triathlon Thread
3:31 in Vegas last year. I did Houston in 3:49.- Running / Triathlon Thread
I finally got a true HR monitor. Crazy how off my HR has been when running.- Running / Triathlon Thread
To comment on your last paragraph, I can totally relate to that. If I don’t have a race to concentrate on, I’ll lose focus. I don’t drink, but I’ll get lazy, lose motivation. Having a race allows me to set goals. I may do Waco again if I don’t do MCM in October. Not 100% sure yet.- Running / Triathlon Thread
Bike more. A lot more. Run less. Formal training starts next week. I’ll give myself a 15 week build up, a week taper. I’m also going to do more long rides with runs after. More rides outside. I’ll probably aim for 90 grams of carbs per hour on the bike instead of 60. More salt tabs. I do think a lot of my issue was nutrition in the second half of the bike and it just crept up on me during the run. Slow down on my brick runs. An issue I have is coming off the bike and immediately going at a 5k pace due to my heart rate already being in zone 3. You’re going to crush it. Same question to you on your full. More long runs?- Running / Triathlon Thread
I won’t be top 10% in my age group. I’m fine with that 😂- Running / Triathlon Thread
I’ve got: Early March: Fresh (Brookshires) 15k in Tyler May 10: 70.3 Gulf Coast - Panama City Oct 25: Marine Corp Marathon I would be doing a marathon this winter/spring but I’m homeless, living with my parents and in laws while we search for a house. Im running probably 30-40 miles per week, swimming and cycling once each per week and lifting once or twice a week. I’ll start a more formal routine for Panama City within the next couple weeks. Right now, I’m just doing what I feel like.- 2025 Cotton Bowl: CFP SF - Texas vs. Ohio State - 6:30pm on ESPN

Bond is on the field running full speed, cutting, looks great. Not sure if we’ve seen anything on his probability for game time.- 2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State
Definitely more orange than red here. No, it doesn’t feel like a college game to me but I imagine it’ll get pretty loud.- 2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State

Just saw FCB walking into the media entrance. Maybe. But FCB.- the cotton bowl weather/travel thread
Easy drive from Tyler. First snow I saw on the roadway was when I hit 360 and turned north off I20.- 2024 Week 17 - Cotton Bowl CFP Semifinal Texas vs Ohio State

My son was 4 months old and asleep on the couch with my wife. I’ve never celebrated so silently in my life. - Running / Triathlon Thread
