MaryStella's Triathlon training crossfit endurance


Recommended Posts

So several guys from my department will be at the local crossfit tomorrow with the goal of lifting 2 million pounds in one day, to raise money for new workout equipment for the stations (all the current stuff is all busted up or rusty). 3 guys from our station are going down there on the Engine to participate. Unfortunately tomorrow is my turn on the Medic, so I don't get to go

 

Thought that would be interesting to you.

5k race today - 25.10 - 2nd place in age group. .47 faster than my last race. surprised because this course had a few hills compared to last weeks. Happy with my results. It was freezing cold and windy here for the race so I actually thought I wasn't doing very well in the race so I was pleasantly surprised at the finish.

@robb - ill decide tomorrow if i am racing again tomorrow or not.

 

@viva - thanks! I don't carb load before events like a 5k because my body just doesn't need it. I would only do something like that if i were exceeding the 2+hour time frame for the event. Also if your going to carb load you need to do it breakfast/lunch not dinner as your body wouldn't have time to get it to your muscles for a morning event from the night before. I don't eat much before a race mostly because of my stomach. I've never been able to eat and workout. I need a good 2 - 3 hours between eating and working out. And with racing I can be nervous/excited which makes it worse so i'll usually force myself to eat a bagel or something that settles my stomach a bit. Then shut it down until post race where Ill have a banana or something like that. Then some vega later! then real food!!

 

@jason - thanks! chocolate tofu is a delish treat that i should eat less of! It is basically silken tofu that they add cocoa powered and sweetener too. They sell it for making desserts and smoothies. but i just eat it right out of the container! I believe Nasoya is the brand but id had to check the next time I buy it to be sure on that for you. They also sell a vanilla one that tastes like a custard to me.

@jason - oh it is dangerous. I should try to stay away from it more too.

 

4.11.10

 

So im up early and feeling ok (foot and lower back a little sore) so I am going to go do another 5K race today. I don't think I will do as well as yesterday becuase of them being back to back but I want to go and get more racing experience. I'm still making novice mistakes and just don't have a good strategy in place yet. Such as yesterday. I remembered to turn my ipod on when the race started but forgot about my watch. So I wasn't able to get splits or even tell how I was doing time wise during the race. Doesn't give me anything to analyze and prep for my next race with. also ive been going out too hard every start. i have hurt myself with it yet in a shorter distance race such as a 5K but as I do longer races that could become an issue. i just get so excited at the start. it going to be cold again today and possible rain so that won't help me much either.

whoo hoo!!!!! took 1st place in my age group in the 5k race today!!!!!!! time was a little slower than yesterday. 25:50? I think? I need to see the official results once they get posted on the internet. I remembered to start my watch today but I forgot to stop it at the finish line. Also there were not mile markers so I don't have any splits. But at least I remembered to start the watch then the ipod this time!!! There were also more hills in this course than yesterdays course so that could be why my time is slower than yesterdays. also coupled with back to back races. But I am so thrilled with my 1st place finish. I posted a pic of me rockin the gold medal on facebook. still not sure how to post pics on here. I always get some messages about it being too big.

Rest Day - going to do some stretching and trigger point stuff to get ready for racing. Coaching today too but no serious workouts. I have two 5ks to race in this weekend. It is going to be cold and most likely raining per the local forecast.

@viva - i never looked at it that way but i guess it sorta applies. yes there are runners that do both races. I am doing it because it is only a 5K. if it were a longer distance race I probably would not do back to back as i wouldn't have the recovery time.
