Had to get a ride in on a Friday (despite it being a day off) since I was tied up at work on Thursday. Went into the heat feeling pretty good and started off at what I thought was conservative at 220watts. Unfortunately the course started with a 3.0% climb for about 2km and they threw in a couple 6.8% climbs in there too - ended up AVG Watts of 217 which is kind of shite based on what I expected (at least 230 for the duration). Waiting for the official numbers to get posted this week by Peak so I'll put that in the data tool as a new bike test.

Did my run today and it was "challenging" after yesterdays' race. Couldn't get the legs turning over very well and holding my Z4 pace of 7:20's was little harder than I wanted! All in all, felt like I definitely "worked" for this one ;) ]]> Tavis Yeung http://www.endurancenation.us/en_forums/blog.php?b=499 http://www.endurancenation.us/en_forums/blog.php?b=498 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:41:58 GMT Excited to be part of TeamEN and hoping to improve upon my last two abysmal attempts at Ironman Canada!

Don't really understand it, Got the pre-season plan, started and running and biking were hurting. It was bad enough I couldn't walk without limping, walking up and down stairs were killing me and laying in bed I was waking up with pulsing pain in my foot. That was it. I stopped arguing and decided to listen to my body. I shut down for 6 weeks to allow time to heal. When you stress fracture your foot for what would be 5 times (pretty sure I did it again), you begin to realize that sometimes the best policy is to lay low for a while and just let the body regenerate and heal. Started taking calcium and vitamin supplements and good news! It worked! Went for a run, no pain! At all! I am fresh for the new plan starting next week. So, regenerated, refreshed and ready to go! Yay! ]]> Andrea McGuire http://www.endurancenation.us/en_forums/blog.php?b=497 http://www.endurancenation.us/en_forums/blog.php?b=496 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 21:10:51 GMT I just signed up for Boise 70.3 in June 2010 and awaiting sign up for Vineman 70.3 and Vineman aquabike I just signed up for Boise 70.3 in June 2010 and awaiting sign up for Vineman 70.3 and Vineman aquabike ]]> mhutto http://www.endurancenation.us/en_forums/blog.php?b=496 http://www.endurancenation.us/en_forums/blog.php?b=494 Mon, 18 May 2009 23:52:54 GMT Despite a very busy day at work and the knowledge that I will be up half the night completing a project the mojo is definitely starting to return. ...

Yesterday’s ride was on the tough side but I still enjoyed being out and about. Back was a bit stiff but otherwise things felt ok this morning. Went for a swim after work to loosen things up and relax in the spa pool then headed out to the 100 Club. Most of the lesson went way over my head because I wasn't concentrating but the band were good and I had some great dances afterwards – bar for being tripped up and landing on my hip!

Had a fun ride home, Lady with purple silky skirt and giraffe pattern shoes on a shopper stood no chance, Safety Conscious Guy with panniers was quickly passed, Mr Red Racing bike it was such a shame you turned off – I had you in my sights! There is nothing quite like riding through the City late at night, headphones on and music blaring, weaving around potholes and manhole covers :-) ]]> Wiggles http://www.endurancenation.us/en_forums/blog.php?b=494
