The Competitors -- (New Thread for Sprint Triathlon & O...

[Brighton]

Good afternoon, everyone! Hopefully everyone had a great weekend, and that training is going well! If you're thinking about joining the thread, jump on in!!! Anyone even THINKING about training for any sort of race, be it a 5K run or an Ironman is most welcome here. We could all use the encouragement & moral boost, I'm sure!!!

Well, I'm on week 2 of my 21 week training program for the Sprint Tri. Things so far are going pretty well. Today I went 2.45 miles (18 min walk, 12 min run) on the treadmill & 1950 meters in the pool. The running is coming easier, slowly yet surely. I'm hoping to get a little yoga in later if I can... it really helps keep me loose & injury-free. Tomorrow I have bike and Push Pull.

Sunny, Moonspryte-- how are you guys doing? Hope all is well and look forward to hearing from you!

Good luck everyone, and stay postitive! We can do this! :7

Good morning!
I’d like to join you on this forum. While I’m signed up for a Sprint Tri also, I’m doing the running portion for a relay team in July. I’m also doing a stair climb on February 7th, and a few 5Ks in preparation for Reach the Beach the beginning of September 2007. RB is a 200-mile endurance relay across New Hampshire to Hampton Beach. I’m 50 years old, married to a wonderful, supportive husband, mother to four, and a teacher.

Good morning, ladies!

Wow, it has been a busy week-- I've hardly been able to get online. Cookie, welcome to the thread!!! Wow-- it sounds like you have a fun year ahead of you. That relay seriously sounds like a lot of fun. I also think it's wonderful you teach, I have tremendous respect for teachers. My tri is in June, and I'm also doing a 5K the end of March. Sunny, thanks for the tip about iTrain. I have been to the website-- it looks really great, I just haven't had the time to look too much yet. Hopefully soon!

Well, Tuesday I went for a long ride on the bike-- 44 min, and 11.09 miles. Yesterday I woke up and my Achilles' tendons were quite stiff. I scaled back my run, only running for really short intervals and walking the majority of the time... I went 2.3 miles on the treadmill and 1100 meters in the pool. Today I am hoping to get back on the bike for a medium ride and hopefully weights with Cathe.

Hope everyone is doing well!!! I'll be back tomorrow hopefully for an update! Cheers! :7
