MaryStella Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 thanks guys! The race today went ok. No awards for me this time. I wasn't feeling well before the race and actually I still don't feel well. It was a really cold and rainy day. Time was 26:34 for a 3.21 course - slower than my races so far this season but I honestly feel it was the best I could have raced today. I don't think I could have done any better given the circumstances so I am happy with the way I did. Going to try to relax the rest of the day and get ready for tomorrow. hoping I am feeling better for that one. sprouted grain bagel w/earth balancevega wfo w/coconut water2 bananasthai vegetable soup w/ coconut milkthai mixed vegetables & tofu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryStella Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 4.19.10 Thanks lobster I did feel better and run better on sunday!! I spent almost all of saturday in bed recovering. 4.18.10-5k race - got 1st place in my age group with a time of 25:30 - ok with the time since it was 34 degrees and rainy and about .75 to a mile was on wet grass. Felt better racing today. Looking forward to racing in some warmer conditions for sure! I ran with a skull cap and gloves on! Didn't do a recovery wod and my legs are tired. My heel is sore. I need to ice and stretch and roll. Going to do upper body strength stuff today. 4.18.10sprouted grain bagel w/earth balancevega wfo w/coconut waterbananatempeh baconvega wfo w/coconut waterhummus w/steamed broccolilemon sesame tofu w/roasted yamschocolate covered almonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aluck Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Just wanted to pop in and say Im proud of you, that you are wonder woman but better, and hi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 Officially registered for the duathlon and Triathlon today as well as some smaller 5k and 5 mile races. Have most of my race season completely filled up now. Hope to get out to some bike shops this weekend and start working on getting a road bike. I will just ride my trek mountain bike until then. Also need to go and get a real swimsuit and register at a local pool so I can start doing some swimming workouts. I say real because a have a ton of bikinis but I doubt they are going to cut it for lap work. And I think Im going to invest in a garmin to help with all of these workouts.

MaryStella Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 thanks guys! The du is June 20th and the tri is August 22. I am going to still use a mix of crossfit and crossfit endurance for the du and tri races. I will do crossfit wods 6 days a weeks and then I will breakout the Crossfit Endurance workouts amoung the three disciplines so 2 runs 2 bikes and 2 swims a week. 1 day will be a rest day but everything else will be doubles. Thats the plan for now so it will still be the same style workouts there will just be biking and swimming and not rowing now. I might have to change the mix up a bit if i find myself significantly weaker in one area. racing another 5k today. It's been raining and night and is still raining and will probably be raining for the race. Still going. Time probably won't be as good with the conditions.
