Hey Slowman, do I get a bonus 100 pts for getting FIST'ed this afternoon? ;p

Sat
Overslept and missed the 6:45 am group ride. Went out with a friend and caught our group. Got dropped by group. Ended the day solo in the now normal Texas winds.

Rode-56 (I'm only training for a half)
Ran-4.5 (that makes 60 for the 8 days and I am done running)
Sat pts- 74
8 day total - 691

1 more day of swimming and riding and I start a 6 day taper for the first race of the season. Go Red Raiders.

Hey guys and gals, added another 40 on today, puts me at 202 for 8 days.

Mark

--------------------------------------------------------------------

20 more for running, I'm at 212 for 8 days, maybe I'll change my name to sprintguy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

added 118miles on the bike this morning...riding pretty strong all day, even though the end of the ride showed a start of being tired...

will add a run this evening when it's not as warm...at least 6mi, hopefully 10.

Edit: added 1h10', 10mi very easy.

Total for the day: 158pts.

Though yesterday was wrong, 142pts and not 144pts. So I finished day 7 at 1148, and today get to
1306pts

so far:

Swim: 6h05'-21500m 215pts
Bike: 34h40'-777mi 777pts avg speed overall: 22.4mph
Run: 9h30'-78.5mi 314pts avg speed 8.3mph (not fast at all, but all the biking shells the legs)

Big ride, short run off the ride. Cold in the NW, but tolerable. I'm tired.

Sat: 64 (13 mile run/1200 swim)
Sun: 55 (ride)
Mon: 68 (3000 swim/big gym session/2 mile run)
Tue: 50 (18 mile ride/8 mile run)
Wed: 54 (2200 swim/8 mile run)
Thurs: 57 (3000 swim/27 bike)
Fri: 50 (2000 swim/big gym session)
Sat: 83 (75 ride/2 run)


So that is:

11400 swim; 175 ride; 33 run = 421 + 60 = 481

Day 8:

Run 12.5 mile - 50 pts.
Mtn. Bike: 4 miles - 4 pts. (hey 4 points is 4 points)
Total for the day: 54 pts.

Total for day 1-8: 451 pts.

Did an off-road 5k race this morning. I did better at this race than I did last week, go figure. Bike & run planned for tomorrow. Everybody have a semi-epic day 9.

I'm done. My legs are toast so I'm still bringing up the rear at 102. Might get our for a run later, but the weather isn't looking too good.

I'm proud to be bringing up the rear with WebSwim without us what would everyone else have to compare to?

Previous total - 212

1200 m swim - 12 pts

Gym session working on some muscle imbalances that I know I have

New total - 224

Why does LIFE get in the way of the fun stuff? Wasn't able to do anything for 2 days with parent conferences - and the weather wasn't bad. Made up for it (a little bit) with fri off. 42 miles on the bike and then a 7 mile run for a total of 70 pts. Today was a 3300M swim (33 pts) followed by a 50 mile bike ride. The ride was exciting because of the wind 12.6 avg on the way out and 25.8 back. As luck would have it was a pure West wind on the way out and shifted to the NW coming back. Couple of times thought the bike and me were going to be blown off the road. Temps were nice today, but snow for the run in the morning. Such is spring in Michigan!

That brings me to a new total of 331 pts

Epic is given a bit easily I guess...all is relative...I am at slightly above 50hrs after 8 days, so 12 days would be around 75hrs.
I think Gordo did 86hrs during Epic Camp New Zealand...so I am pretty far behind...Then I read recently in National Geographic a report on the dudes going up Everest without O2...that's Epic!!!
Or the dudes crossing the atlantic on a boat, or aroung the globe with 2hrs of sleep a night...that's Epic.

Those guys are epic :-)

I wouldn't mind devoting more time to training but I have this little naggin thing called work that takes up far too much of my time :D

I think I'll be more ready for epic proportions next year and wouldn't mind scheduling some time off work to see what the ole body can do.

Late in the afternoon on Day 7, I added an 8.5 mile run. Then I managed a slow, easy 17 mile bike ride before my softball tournament on Day 8.

I'm hoping for a strong day tomorrow (for me). My goal is to get over 300 points for the 9 days. If things go as planned, I think I'll be able to do it.

You would think that seeing my points at the bottom of the list would motivate me....

Had a busy day, no training - I am at a crossroads.... jump on the trainer for a 2 hr spin and watch the next 5 episodes of Sex in the City or lay on the couch with the munchkins, eat extra butter popcorn and watch "the little rascals" (b&w version, of course).

Day 8 - a big fat zero

I won't even count the track & field stuff I did. My long jump ain't what it used to be.

Total for 8 days will stand at 212 :)
