About 10-15 of us from Montgomery Co training for IMLP are going to be doing a long ride tomorrow morning starting at 8am. Its only 68 miles but includes about 5700 ft worth of climbing. People will be doing anywhere from 15 min to 45 min brick afterwards and then probably hitting up the nearby Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch. We are meeting at the Park & Ride parking lot right off the 270 exit at Rt 80. Here is a link with a map and que sheet for anyone interested. http://ridewithgps.com/routes/969230 http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=68074B64-994E-B656-07EB69FC8001B13C&last=1 JayC101 Fri, 24 May 2013 10:48 AM http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=85C7A028-0C66-98D7-E21750392407DE87&last=1 05/24/2013 at 8:16 AM - Is anyone driving down from DC the morning of June 2 for the Naylor's Beach triathlon? http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=85C7A028-0C66-98D7-E21750392407DE87&last=1 astolitzka Fri, 24 May 2013 8:16 AM http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=40132E74-AA42-0E35-FBE3EF888805CCDF&last=1 05/23/2013 at 4:04 PM - Men's Elite Pro Top Medium, awesome awesome jersey, just doesn't accommodate my fun reservoir.

I felt really well trained for the HIM so I thought I would chime in with what I did - even if its not the cheapest. I used Trainingpeaks to find a training plan from one of their coaches. I was buying the full IM plan so I think the two combined were about $250 ($120 for TP & $130ish for the training plan), which was definitely worth it. I picked the workout plan that fit my parameters (by David Glover) and it auto-loaded it into the training peaks software/calendar. Then every morning I got an email letting me know my workout for the day and the next day. I also had the ability to upload all of my workouts online on through an app to track my progress (a big mental boost when thigns get tough). Its more expensive to do TrainingPeaks, but if I didn't get an email every morning and invest the money - I never would have gotten out of bed to swim in the mornings before work or gotten on the bike after work. In terms of the actual training, I was doing about ~10-13 hours/week during the build up to the HIM and I felt great during the race. Trained 6 days a week with 1 long ride on Sat (quick brick after), one long run on Wed then 2-3x morning swims and a few short 1 hour runs/rides during the week after work. This has gotten long but I will stop there. Feel free to reach out to me directly as another relative Newbie if you want more specifics. http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=630F392C-A4E5-4EA2-8334AA8FD67E28DB&last=1 DavisCatlin Thu, 23 May 2013 8:50 AM http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=9A883D56-0C31-B0DE-F7792CBD81E6ED81&last=1 05/22/2013 at 11:18 PM - I've got a Giant mountain bike that I've been thinking about selling.
