Francois,

I thought my job was slack!

Do college profs ever work? Or is today your day off. Got an hour run in today at lunch and thought I was doing good. Was going to spin another hour on the bike trainer tonight but since it's St. Paddy's Day I'll have to bag it for a couple of Guiness instead.

it's spring break mate!

"it's spring break mate!"

Duh!! Guess I forgot!

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." John Rogers

Thanks to whoever it was for the "climbing" inspiration for the bike. I awoke this morning and cranked 2000 feet up a sinister Flagstaff mountain before work. A black squirrel with rabbit ears crossed the road before me. Is this possible or typical after five days of Epic Camp?

Wednesday- DAY 5 Totals

Easy Day:

26mile ride= 26 points.

60min killer strength session- (points?)

Total after 5 days: 280 points (not including strength session)



BTW: Did Slowman make a call on Strength (lifting) sessions? I had a gnarly 60min lift yesterday but am not sure what if/any points I should get for it? Swim should be interesting today as my upper body is quite sore.

mbeaugard,

AWESOME SESSION! Nice work! Keep it up. How are you feeling today? (Thursday)



-bz

Day 1 - 4: 123

3/17 – 39.6 mile ride, 3 mile trail run

My day 5 totals

210 pts through Day 4
Day 5: Swim 3200m=32pts, Run 5 miles=20pts total 52pts.

5 Day total= 262 pts.

Had to sleep in this morning, so I'll probably just get some bike points tonite. My legs are still sore from Tuesday weights.

I'm feeling much better then I thought I would. Thats the most running I've done in a day in about 10 months. I ran this morning and it went fine - the ice was a bigger deal then the soreness.

I am posting this to inspire all you that are scared away by these big numbers :)

Mon - Nada, nunca

Tues - nope

Weds - run 12 miles, stopped by some married man who asked for my number (why are they always married???)

Total thru weds - 118

Alright, thought I would throw my hat in the ring since I'm doing pretty good this week.

Day 1: 35 mi. bike, 5 mi. run=55 pts

Day 2: 36 mi. bike, 2500 swim, 2 mi. run=69 pts

Day 3: 9 mi. bike, 1500 swim, 7 mi. run=52 pts

Day 4: 56 mi. bike, 3150 swim, 2 mi. run=95.5 pts (gotta love snow days)

Day 5: 10 mi. run=40 pts

5 day total=311.5 pts

Well, I try to train as much as I can but I'm so far from you ... ;-) Je m'incline, Monsieur !

I fell like a newbie with my 107 pts.

Sat: 30 m ride > 30
Sun: 25 m ride > 25
Mon: just rest
Tues: 8 m run > 32
Wed: 2000 swim > 20

Must go back to work, bye !

Day 5:
Swim with Masters group at lunch: 3,000 - 30 pts.
Bike 35 miles on trainer in PM. 35 pts.
Total for day 5 - 65 pts

Total for day 1-5: 294 pts.

Was planning on 2.5 hr ride, but got held up at work and would have run out of daylight if I hit the road. 2 hours was my limit on the trainer. I did watch an old video tape that had 1990 Tour de Trump. The race featured an out of shape Lemond, and a first year pro from Russia named Ekimov. Some of the teams still didn't use the aero bars and the ones that did looked pretty funny to today's standards.

Francois - vous etes l'homme, le maitre, le chef! Here's how day 5 turned out:

Bike: warm-up/hill workout with Coach Troy @ 240 W/cool-down - 20 mi

Run: 8 mile EZ trail run with the dogs - 32 pts.

5-day total: 314.

Too pooped to 'get my Irish up'...had to settle for one quick cold one and then off to bed. Gotta get up early to swim!

Day 5 - Ride 20 miles, Hockey game (only 7 skaters, so, based on hr info, counts as 8mi run) - 52 pts

p.s. Francois, you rock.

Day 5

Swim 1500m = 15

Bike 18 mi = 18

total = 33

5 day total = 177 & still fading

300 pts in 9 days?

Thanks for the motivation. It's embarrassing to post, but:

Sat: 40 Miles Bike: 40 pts
Sun: Spin class + ahstanga Yoga ~20 pts*
Mon: 2800 Y swim 25.5 pts
Tue: 20 Mile bike + 5 mile run 40 pts
Wed: 2800 Y swim + 12 mile bike 37.5 pts

Total: A very non-epic 163 pts. That's not even hemi-semi-demi epic.

My disclaimer is that I'm in build right now, so my volume is lower, but I'm working hard. I'll be back to stupid volume (well, stupid for me) real soon now. Honest, I will.

*(I should have done a 13 mile run, but this was my concession to having a semblance of a social life. Also, the workout felt like it earned more than 20 points, but I'm not cheating.)

Question: Are we using the .914 Meter to Yard conversion, or treating them as 1:1?

I'm glad to see that I've got company. I've managed to post 144 through Wednesday. I'm trying to put in more hours, but it just ain't happening right now. On the bright side, the work I have been doing has been fairly high in intensity.

Puskas-

For starters, it's 120 on 3/21, not a paltry 100. And, when do you plan on swimming on Sunday? It won't happen, we'll be toast.

D

Day 1: ride 60 + run 5.5 = 82
Day 2: ride 25 = 25
Day 3: ride 17 + swim 1500 = 32
Day 4: ride 14 + swim 2500 = 39

________________________________________________

Anyone who tells you they're as fast now as they were when they were 18...
sure wasn't very fast when they were 18.

Man ... I hope you all are in base training for IMs cause I'm getting absolutely slaughtered here.

I'll lead with my excuses: Since my scheduele (not coinciding with the shorter winter pool scheduele, outdoor) has kept me out of the pool, and my bum left ankle keeping me from really running, and a stupid research project I'm working on have all conspired to keep my figures looking like that of a cyclist instead of triathlete.

3-13: 53 mi bike
3-14: off
3-15: 6.2 mi run (probably not a good idea, hobbling for 2 days)
3-16: 65 mi bike (but I can still bike, trying to feel out race pace, 1/2 IM)
3-17: 18 mi bike
Total: 160

Hopefully I can really tally some mileage this weekend down at Lake San Antonio. The plan for the weekend is:
Fri: ~50mi bike (stupid meeting)
Sat: 56mi bike, 1500yd open water (does wildflowers bike course count for extra pts?)
Sun: 24mi bike, 13mi run. (hows about the run?)
Sun might turn into a 56mi (bike), 13mi (run) brick if my bike legs still feel good.

Hopefully that will get me closer to back on track, maybe I can hit 350.

Day 1: Ride 22/swim 1,900m = 41 pts.
Day 2: Ride 101 miles = 101 pts.
Day 3: 0
Day 4: Run 5.5 miles = 22 pts.
Day 5: Run 2.5 miles = 10 pts.

Total: 174

do we get extra credit for avoiding death?

rode 4h20' was heading home to get some water, turn in my street (which is uphill but the turn is at the bottom of a small downhill)...somehow, I managed to avoid a moron in a truck who was running through a stop sign AND driving on the bloody wrong side of the street!!! I avoid the truck, take the turn and flat the front wheel (like, completely flat at once), about 25mph...

somehow, I did manage to stay on my bike (which is good knowing my poor technical skills, so my Tiphoon is not yet baptized...and I intend to keep it that way!)

of course, the moron, didn't stop, he probably didn't see anything either.

anyway, that still adds 96pts (rode steady the whole time wth two 6mi climbs)

Unfortunately nothing even semi-epic for a day that listed a 6 hour ride. (That's just not going to happen on the indoor trainer!).
Just a 30 mile ride and 3.2k swim for 62 points.

Total thru day 5: 300pts.

Here's what I've got so far. chime in, esp those with day-3 totals not yet updated (i know, for example, that pooks has at least 105 pts to add):

SHIT - you guys are killing me.

6 days (thru 3/18) 159 points. The most I anticipate is 315 points total.

Ok, ok, but I should get extra points for: (I'll estimate)

2 sessions with weights (Tue & Thu):10 pts ea= +20

Triathlete Wife (needs her training time): 20pts for each training hr she has had so far: 4*20=80

2 kids (1 infant & 1 toddler): 1000 points each=2000

Both kids have bad colds right now:250*2=500

# of times I get up at night to tend to sick kids: 3x per night:18*25=450

Full time job (not on spring break):50 per day: 300

1.5 hours in commutes daily: 1.5*6=9hrs x 20 per hr=180.

Participating in the Becca thread: -50

Total Revised 6 day total: 3,639

I believe that that puts me in the lead. Whoo Hoo!

What day is it? Is Thursday(today) day 5? Night shift throws me off.

I have not switched over to tri training in earnest quite yet due to a 50K XC ski race this weekend. Typically, I equate XC skiing to be 2/3 between biking and running, so let's say if I was to qualify for Virtual Semicamp participation (which due to the lack of tri specific training is unlikely), here are my totals.

So let me assume that

1 mile running = 4pts

1 mile skiing = 2.5 pts

1 mile biking = 1 pt

Sat: 33 Mile XC ski ( 3hour) = 82 pts

Sun: 25 Mile XC ski (2.33 hour) = 62 pts

Mon: 10 Mile run (75 min) = 44 pts

Tue: 20 Mile XC ski (2 hour) = 50 pts

Wed: 8 Mile Run (1 hour) = 32 pts

Total Sat - Wed = 270 pts

Damn, this camp is on a taper week. I'm getting blown away by all you studs. I'll log zero for Day 6 and Zero to 12 pts max for day 7.

20 mile ride= 20 pts.......

5 Day Total..... 220

I am a dork.... it is so rare that I swim before work I forgot to include those points....



5 Day Total... 235
