Comment on Resting for the Weary

I am going to talk with Gordo about it. If you analyze the run camp data, I noticed a significant drop off from participants about three weeks into the camp. Much like our training, after three solid weeks, we usually unload some fatigue. I think people have a tendency to break after three weeks.

The good news is that it is almost over. The bad news? Swim camp starts Feb. 1st!

Good work Sue. 52k in two weeks is impressive, especially when you consider you did it as 4k x 13 days, with no "distance banking." Also, 25" off your 100m repeats? Daaaaaang.

I appreciate the "postcards." You could also call them "badges of honor" as not many people can boast about large tracts of skin sloughing off after a workout.

You are motivating me to do a swim camp of my own when the spring semester starts?!! We shall see about that, though--as I'm sure you have found out, it's one thing to *say* you're gonna do a big camp like this, but another completely to actually go and *do* it!

I visited Bloomington this past weekend, and learned about your website from the local running store. There is a great possibility that my family will be moving to Bloomington. I am a lover of al things triathlon and am excited to make connections with fellow triathletes when we move!

Great work Sue. Sorry to hear about Bob's troubles. Seems like you had another well-executed, successful race on virtually all fronts!

You are inspiring me to consider doing an open Marathon in February. I have no hope of qualifying for Boston (3:10 is out of reach, at least for the next few years) but it might be "fun" regardless. Tell me I should (or should not) do it!

Great end to a solid season FEwoman.

Comment on Longhorn Triathlon 70.3 Ironman

Congratulations on earning the right to write a very boring race report! Your training pretty much guaranteed a boring race--no pacing/nutrition issues, no surprises, no nothing except for a well-executed race.

Hopefully Ironman Wisconsin will be another boring, ho-hum, sub-11:30-or-something-else-ridiculous-like-that race report for you :)

(P.S. If you need a spot for another bottle, and don't want to use behind-the-seat cages, I saw someone at the GFT who rigged a *double* bottle holder between the aerobars--one bottle goes above the bars in the "normal" position, and one goes below the bars, kinda "hanging off" the front end. That second bottle is exposed to the wind, but if you have a regular shaped headtube on that Trek it may be an aerodynamic wash?)

Sue...I read your blog! Ok, not after every post, but when I do check it out, I catch up. Sometimes I think you are just crazy, but mostly it keeps me in the sprint tri training/racing game and reminds me that I'm not crazy for loving this stuff. ;-) Hope to see you around soon.
