Dreading the 30k race I signed up for...ughIt's supposed to rain through the duration of the race and boy, do I feel like #### right now. On antibiotics for a sinus infection and got some tendonitis flaring up from my hips down to my knees. #### I know...I know...

Mitchell and Yancey counties on a 3 hour school delay this AM...that means ice/snow over 3000 feet...that means ice/snow on the last couple of miles of the Toll Rd before the Marathon turnaround...and all snow inside the parkand on the Parkway...The likelihood of running pavement only from the Marathon turnaround to the summit is high...36 miles...but still a summit...More tonight.

For you out of towners...It is 43 degrees and raining in Asheville right now...We are looking at cold rain all night and all day tomorrow for the volunteers that will be heading up to camp for your Toll Rd. aid stations...Snow and ice at the upper elevations is expected for the next 36 hours...

I didn't get selected to go to the top so I'll be doing 26.2. Looks like 37 degrees and rain to start. Mud on the trails early and creek crossings high. Will transition to ice and then snow as we climb 2500 ft. I'll turnaround there, the 40 milers will have another 1500 ft to climb in snow conditions.I have no idea what to wear or which shoes to breakout. Was shooting for sub five hours, but that will be dependent on the trail conditions. Will have to throttle back the descent if it's icy.

You win.

After years of dodging the frozen bullet... Weather update - Freezing rain and sleet at Sourwood Gap (3000 ft) as of 1:30PM today...Toll Rd. aid station crews are headed up for a cold, wet and likely snowy night on the mountain... As of today, there is no change to the Marathon course...The Challenge runners will now be running up the paved State Park Rd to the Summit after the Parkway aid station... As opposed to years past, new regulations being enforced by the Blue Ridge Parkway this year are preventing any race volunteers from traveling on the Blue Ridge Parkway if it is closed to the general public...which it is today...Because the Parkway is the only route available to access the Mount Mitchell Park, this means that volunteers and aid above the Parkway (14 mile mark) will be limited...We are going to have minimal support at the summit, but Challengers need to be prepared for 11 miles (mile markers 15-26) to be very cold, very windy and with little support...A true Challenge this year! There will be fire/rescue support on the Parkway for emergencies...Hand bottles or hydration packs are mandatory...Please refrain from waiting to fill your bottle/bladder up on the course...our volunteers have worked super hard to carry that water up there...Start the race with full bladders and bottles.

GL this weekend guys.On my end...2 frustrating weeks of crap.Longest run has been 6 miles. Just can't seem to get my body feeling right and Im still wheezy/coughing up crap.Been eating a bit better and probably less with not feeling well...so at least this lack of running is not making me gain weight.But also probably not helping with my own energy.

 

[gruecd]

Good tempo run this afternoon on the dreadmill. 3 up, 5 tempo at 6:35/mile, and 1 down. Felt strong, but I was a sweaty mess by the time I finished. Easy 8 tomorrow and 17 on Sunday.Good luck this weekend, racers!

and ----On my end my fifth day in a row running - good for 30 miles. Tired 6 miler at 8:22/mile. Tagged on a swim tonight. Only 1500 yards, but despite being tired it was a better workout than the run. Finished up with a 6:22 500yd TT. Almost the same as last week, which is a nice result. My new swim site captures SWOLF for each set - you'd love it, 2Y. The 500yd swim averaged 28. I still have no clue what to aim for there.

I think actually walking on water might be the next thing to shoot for. I have only got my SWOLF into the 30s a handful of times. You know you're fast, this confirms your form is rock solid too. Since you were gassed from a week of running, you should try a fresh swim and see if the SWOLF needle moves or if just your time does.

Looking for a new tri-bike on Craigslist, curious to get your thoughts.

Specialized: http://raleigh.craig...3618145845.html

Cervelo: http://raleigh.craig...3583926419.html

Not a whole lot on the market right now but I have time. These are both within my price range.

Both are good used prices in my opinion, but the Cervelo would give you a lot more in terms of lighter weight and the components. Heck, you can even take the cleats off the shoes and slap them on your bike shoes if the size isn't right. Mild word of caution. I bought my tri bike used and as I recall a lot of the listings had things like" XXXX miles, no crashes" or "crash-free bike". I am not saying both bikes have been wrecked, but I would look them over very closely before buying. I think the Cervelo owner set himself up to sell that bike for less with his "family situation". I'd go at him with around $900 in cash and see if he bites.

That's what I'm thinking. I have a Trek 1200 aluminum which I bought used for $250 back in college (1996). Last Tri I went to (HIM Kansas, 2010) people looked at it like it was a novelty and almost extinct. It's time to upgrade.

The cervelo was already sold and the other guy hasn't replied So I looked again today and need thoughts / opinions

Look Tri but if it's cut for 5'9 and I'm 6'0, at $3250 I can probably do better. Looks nice though

Frame but I'd have to buy wheels, etc. I might be able to recycle my pedals and aero bar but that's probably all from my current bike.

Felt with no pic at $1200 makes me a bit skeptical

HED w/Trainer I may have to check this one out

Felt at good price I like the color, but if this is a 5'6 rider, that seems like it won't fit me.

Love it but $5500?

The Felt is way too small for you. I'm 5'6" and my tri bike is a 49, that's a 52 with quite a lot of the post exposed. The HED looks nice, but the "never ridden on the road might be Why would he have a bike light on a bike that was never on the road (something is ) Wraith got a stellar new tri bike on Bikesdirect as I recall, you may want to IM him and think about buying new.

SWOLF is seconds plus strokes, right? Based on the numbers you guys are giving, those have to be 25m (aka, "yard') measures. But goodness - 28 ...in the 30s. If I look back at my prior workouts, I expect my SWOLF would be mid-40s.--7 miles today with 5 x 1 mile repeats at sub-7:00 pace. I had thoughts of doing more, but speed work is tough at 25 degrees with a stiff SW wind, and my legs were pretty gassed. I wanted to get in some work at my HM PR pacing, though. One month til my first race (a HM).

Good luck to the racers this weekend.Weather here is perfect for me. I did 10 miles @ 9:23 pace. Saw a lot of hawks out in the desert today. I think they were hunting. Pretty cool to watch but I have to be careful running while looking up into the sky.

 

[Hang 10]

Finished a cold wet 30k in 2:25:34...rained the entire race. My nipples feel like someone took a belt sander to them but overall I feel pretty good. Ran a pretty consistent pace throughout... Coulda run faster but not a huge need to push any harder because it was supposed to be a training run. Stoked that it's taper time.

25 yard pool. I think it measures one arm stroke, so I'm hitting 18 sec/25 + 9 or 10 left arm strokes. I think I average about 19 left-right strokes per length.And, yes, 2Y, I'd love to get in a rested swim workout. Sadly that almost never happens as the pool work always ends up after work or after my Saturday ride. In the summer I'll be able to do some early Masters swim stuff. Not possible with me be the school shuttle guy. I take what I can get.

Remind me of your HM time of last year? I just remember being astounded at how much you'd improved (and killed that run).

2 minutes ...so a rather quick turnaround. With the cold and wind, it wasn't fun to stand around for too long!Sand - that HM last fall was 1:31:30ish ..about a 7:00/mile pace. I certainly don't expect to pick back up at that pace next month ...not enough quality training in this winter weather. I'll probably run at least the first half of the race by HR rather than forcing a rather random pace.

And Sand, the quick search I did on SWOLF talked about counting every stroke, not every L/R cycle (it also focused on 50m pools), so I'm unclear if there's a consistent standard. If it's cycles, not strokes, then I probably trained at best around 24/25 sec + 11/12 cycles, or about 35 or 36 SWOLF. Which still makes your 28 SWOLF training (and 2Young with his long swims) uber-impressive to me!

Hang10 - ..just banging out a 30K in a steady rain.

Small addendum - new 10 minute power PR set at 297w on my ride today. Really laid down the best rubber I could. So bloody close.

Great job, my man. I'm 3 days into my big stretch. 32 miles down, 5 days and 63 miles to go. Running 17 today with a buddy of mine who's running Boston for the first time this year. Supposed to be in the low 30s and sunny...much better than it's been lately.

I don't know how some of you go to races and able to run at training paces. I simply don't have the discipline for that. Kudos.

 

[FUBAR]

Jumped late last night, so i cut todays run down to a 10k tempo run. kept a solid 7:12 throughout. This will be a down week, but that's okay as my groin had been acting up.

 

[Ned]

Week 7 was a recovery week. I'm feeling great....

Tue (9mi w/ 5LT) - Redo from last week's fail. Much better. It was dreary and drizzle the whole time, but I felt strong. 5LT miles @ 7:17/174. Very happy with that effort.

Wed (7mi MLR) - Feel a tad beat up, but was strong. Stupid wind is really getting old. 9:12/144

Thu (5mi recovery) - HR is much much better than it was a month ago. 9:57/133

Fri (8mi MLR) - Oh hell yeah. I was in total cruise control. This came almost too easy. 9:08/143

Sat (6mi GA) - Doh. Another junk run, but that was fun (even in the 37 degrees + rain). Far too fast for a GA, but I couldn't help it. The more I tried to slow down, the faster I went. This came very easy. 8:14/156

Sun (14mi Trail) - Finally got out to the trails for the first time this year. Lots of hill work and playing in the sloppy single-track. I was covered in mud after I was finished. What a blast. That beat me up, but was oh so good. 10:30/149

49mi for the week. Time to push back into the 60s.

It wasn't so tough. For one, this distance series is supposed to be a training tuneup for the big virginia beach event, the shamrock half/full marathon. Second, I can count on one hand the times I've run 30k in my entire life. So running at a tempo pace was as much about training as it was self preservation. I've only been putting in 20 to 25 mile weeks, so I wasn't really sure what 19 miles was going to feel like. Hindsight tells me I coudla pushed harder...I didn't really know that at the start of the race.

 

[tri-man 47]

No results posted yet ...maybe they're all still out there.--11 more miles for me today with some urban hills (x-way overpasses). Butt is so-ooore.

Training Report Week 11

Tues 15 miles, treadmill, average pace probably in the 7:40s.

Wed 6 recovery miles in a.m., 4 recovery miles in p.m. Treadmill both times. This was supposed to be Tuesday's runs but running a 15 miler didn't fit my schedule so I had to switch. I think average pace must have been 8:15 or so for these.

Thurs 6 miles. This was supposed to be a recovery run but after running two recovery runs in a row, I decided to push the pace a little. Outside, cold. 7:27/140 HR.

Fri 12 miles with 7 LT. I was hoping to run this outside but it had snowed earlier and was windy and sleeting a little when I got off work. I was worried about slipping on some ice in the dark so I decided on the gym. 3 up and 2 down. In the middle, first 5 at 6:27 pace, last 2 at 6:23. Heart rate probably averaged in the low 160s (I don't have data, I just glaced periodically at my watch.) I saw it as high as 167 but it settled in around 164 the last few. I felt pretty good for this one.

Sat 5 recovery. 8:42/122. At mile 4 I had some fun and tried to run below 9:00 with a HR below 120 but just missed -- 8:58/120. I'll have to try that again sometime.

Sun 22 miles. 7:45/135. Beautiful winter day for once. Temperature got into the low 40s, sunny and without that much wind. I felt OK although I probably didn't plan my meals right and was getting hungry near the end.

Overall, 70 miles for the week.

Agreed! Juxt, you're able to keep that HR quite low, even in Friday's hard pacing ...that bodes well for Boston.

Training Report Week 11

Sun 22 miles. 7:45/135. Beautiful winter day for once. Temperature got into the low 40s, sunny and without that much wind. I felt OK although I probably didn't plan my meals right and was getting hungry near the end.

That was right in the sweet spot for a 185 mHR (I think jux is around there).

Holy crap - you forget a decimal?Serious question - what do you (or any of you long-distance guys) do stay hydrated while running a long way?

Nice job, Jux. That's an epic milestone week!

Serious question - what do you (or any of you long-distance guys) do stay hydrated while running a long way?

I usually run little 1.7-2.1 mile loops around campus, so I'm passing by my truck pretty frequently. During the summer, I stop off for fluids every couple of laps. When it's cool/cold, I tend to go much longer without hydrating even though I know intellectually that I should still be drinking.
