Sunday Seventy.Three

I'm going to try to be more consistent with these now that my schedule has become more consistent.

What race are you training for? Date?

Tell me about your bike(s):
-What kind of bike(s) do you have and which do you ride most often?
-Do you have a tri bike?
-Do you have a trainer-dedicated bike?
-How much training do you do on the bike you'll race on?

How has your swimming been in the winter? How often have you been able to get into the pool?

Any injuries currently? Nagging aches and pains? Niggles?

What race are you training for? Date?
IM 70.3 Santa Cruz on 9/11

Tell me about your bike(s):
-What kind of bike(s) do you have and which do you ride most often?
I only have one bike - Specialized Ruby Elite and I haven't made any upgrades

-Do you have a tri bike?
No, but I'm thinking of getting some aero bars for my Ruby

-Do you have a trainer-dedicated bike?
No, but I think I might need to get trainer dedicated tires

-How much training do you do on the bike you'll race on?
Since I only have the one - I guess i do all of my training on the bike I'll race on LOL!

How has your swimming been in the winter? How often have you been able to get into the pool?
My swimming has been a travesty this winter. I managed to get in a series of swim clinics which I think has really helped my form, but with my home base pool not open on the weekends and with my Jan schedule, I just haven't been able to get in the pool for mid-week laps. I have to refocus on that in Feb.


Any injuries currently? Nagging aches and pains? Niggles?
Shockingly nothing to report here. How can that be? I had a little niggle in my left ankle after Charleston, but it seems to have gotten better.

What race are you training for? Date?
Pac Crest 70.3 June 25th

Tell me about your bike(s):

I only have 1 bike, a Fuji road bike. Right now it lives on the trainer in my bonus room. I ride it once a week right now, in addition to a spin class once a week. When the weather gets better, I'll do all of my training outdoors on that bike. I am also planning on adding aerobars this spring.

How has your swimming been in the winter? How often have you been able to get into the pool?

I am happy to get 1 session in the pool a week, but 2 is ideal. Swimming is my strong suit, so I can let it go a bit over winter while I train for a half marathon.

Any injuries currently? Nagging aches and pains? Niggles?

Nope! I ran 7 miles today, my longest since my knee injury, but I felt really good.

What race are you training for? Date?
- As of right now, 70.3 last weekend in April. Subject to change due to injury.

Tell me about your bike(s):
-What kind of bike(s) do you have and which do you ride most often?
*I have been on a Trek 3000 (I think?) for the past couple of years. I just retired it to the trainer because I'm shopping for a new bike.

-Do you have a tri bike?
* No. I have aero bars on my road bike.

-Do you have a trainer-dedicated bike?
* I do now!!

-How much training do you do on the bike you'll race on?
* All of my outside rides will now be on the bike I'll race on.

How has your swimming been in the winter? How often have you been able to get into the pool?
* I took a break last semester. I just got back in to the pool. I swim with a master's team 2-3 times a week.

Any injuries currently? Nagging aches and pains? Niggles?
* My ankle. Still trying to figure out what's wrong with it. I need to get a pool running belt and start doing pool runs.

I hope y'all don't mind if I lurk in here from time to time. I love 70.3 training and racing, I just think (know) it'd be delusional to sign up for one this summer with Hobbes being < a year old. I'll be satisfied if I get in some shorter stuff this year.

What race are you training for? Date? Atlantic City 70.3 (technically I don't start formal training for it until May though)

-Do you have a tri bike? I have tri bars on my Trek

-How much training do you do on the bike you'll race on? All of it!

How has your swimming been in the winter? How often have you been able to get into the pool? Practically non-existent.  I think I've gone once....maybe twice.

Any injuries currently? Nagging aches and pains? Niggles? I'm training for a HM right now and everything hurts!  Hamstrings, knees, ugh I can wait to get this race over with!

What race are you training for? Date?  August 70.3 in September.  I haven't officially signed up yet but I hopefully will this week. 

Tell me about your bike(s):
-What kind of bike(s) do you have and which do you ride most often?    I have a Focus Variado 2.0.  His name is Clint.
-Do you have a tri bike?    Nope.  Clint has aero bars and is generally pretty badass (similar to his namesake Mr. Eastwood)
-Do you have a trainer-dedicated bike?  No, just training tires that stay on all winter.
-How much training do you do on the bike you'll race on?   All of it.  I only have one.  I don't like to cheat on Clint.

How has your swimming been in the winter? How often have you been able to get into the pool?  *duckshead* I haven't been in the pool since September.  This will change this week. 

Any injuries currently? Nagging aches and pains? Niggles?  I have a grade 3 slip of my L5 vertebrae and it's really been irritating me lately.  I'm heading back to chiro and acupuncture this week and am getting back into a core routine to start preparing for racing season.
