Foot Power - Page 7

hideouse · 03-23-2008, 04:05 AM

Labrat, et al, I beleive the reason my foot got angry at me is because I did no other running in the year before the 5k and 10k I ran. The other training I've been doing has given me decent cardio-respiratory and muscular fitness so that after the runs I had no soreness but for the irritated planter fascia of my left foot. I believe that had I included running in my training regimen my foot would have been adapted to the stress of the runs and I would not have this problem.
Which by the way is slowly abating. I have run just a few steps today and had no exacerbation of my discomfort. I'll start training now, just some baby step runs, to see if I can make it to the mini.
I am also on night shift now and that's fukkin' my schedule all up.

Update hideouse??

My tri is in less than 4 weeks. I am feeling very nervous right now. Losing a week to vacation kind of threw me for a bigger loop than I thought it would. Guess I'm not the spring chicken I once was. I missed last night's monthly club meeting where we were going to go over T1/T2 (transitions) and practice them, which would have been really nice to do. My daughter had soccer practice and she needs that more than I need mine

I'm just signed up to do a 10km charity race in London on July 6. I think it's for MS Walk. It'll be my first race of any kind.

Time to get training!

No running for me still. I missed my Mini. That's shitty, I've loved distance running all my life even if I'm not good at it.
On the other hand I went to Las Vegas, took my son too, we went to a kettlebell lifting competition where I placed second in my weight and category division. Yay me! We stayed for the subsequent two day coaching class and learned a lot that would have been useful the day of the competition.
If I let my foot heal and start training again I might be able to run next year's mini, but I don't know for sure.

Awesome PW!! Good luck!

Hideouse, that totally sux. Awesome on the second place finish though, feels great doesn't it!! Once I look up what the heck kettlebell lifting is, I bet I'll be even more impressed

I love this sport, it makes a real difference in my daily health.

Holy Crap. Yes, I am impressed. Just in case you need it, Red swears by Hemrelief

Did my Marion Arts festival run this weekend. Was my 24th event. OMG, it was a perfect day. Sunny, 50's and light breeze. Although the farthest I have run in my tri training is 2 miles, and this was 3.1, I still had a very good finish time. In fact, not a whole lot slower than years past when all I was training for was this particular run!

So, I have been waiting. And waiting. Aaannnnd waaaaayyyyyyting for the professional photogropher's pics of the Pigman. Somehow they have mangaged to totally screw it up so that your name isn't your pics, and seem to be in no freaking hurry to get it figured out despite multiple calls, emails, etc from a whole lot of us. So, here are the few pics Red was able to get of me. Hopefully there will be some of me on the bike, and maybe a more flattering one of me running if Jolesh Photography ever gets their shit straight.

I finished almost 10 minutes faster than I did when I was 24. Heh. Who says I have to age gracefully?

Results:

32 F
.5K swim time= 9:49 (OMG, I was sooo happy with this as it was almost 4 minutes off my previous time. That's huge. I felt GREAT coming out of the water. All that time at Master's swimming practice and using the wetsuit totally paid off!)
T1= 3:58 (very bad, but my number came off when I was pulling down my wetsuit, and then I managed to run past my bike. Durrr. )
15 mile bike time= 55:32 ave speed =16.8 (could definately improve here, with more time in the saddle)
T2 =1:28 (much better, but still wayyyy to slow)
5K run time= 28:14 9:06/m pace (was happy with this, since I pushed myself a bit on the bike)

Overall Finish time= 1h:38m

13th of 31 in 30-34y age group
(My age group's winner finished in 1:18, overall female winner finished in 1:10)

LabRat · 07-15-2008, 11:32 AM

No bike pics unfortunately (the kid was getting really bored and acting up), but Red did get an unflattering one of me running . . . The fact that I am smiling at this point tells you I am insane. I think this stuff is fun!

xoxoxoBruce · 07-15-2008, 11:34 AM

Unflattering? You look maaaavelous.

The bike pad in my tri shorts is giving me an artifical camel toe in the sunlight
