11/13/06. Workouts - Results
..Well, I just blasted my entire blog for this week by accident and it's 10:35pm. So I'm going to do a skeleton version for now and finish it Monday. Just when I had written up results and all the workouts!
First of all, congrats to CAROLYN HUTCHINS for earning the title of natl Champion for the IRONMAN WORLD HALF MARATHON CHAMPIONSHIPS 70.3 in the 45-49 age division, which she completed in Clearwater , Florida on Nov. 11th.
Also, competing were JERI HOWLAND and TOME GUERIN. The "70.3" as the half ironman is called (mileage totals up to 70.3M) consists of a 1.2mS-56mB-13.1mR.
- CAROLYN: 4:48:27 (31:15-2:24:481:46-25)
First place in her division!
- JERI, now 50, already has the full Ironman 45-49 div. record (set in Germany). As a new entry to the 50-54 group, she placed 3rd with a: 4:56:26
(33:05-2:30:22-1:46:32) for 3rd place in her div!
- TOM: 4:58:00 (32:00-2:25:57-1:52:08)for 27th in a very competitive field. Tom borrowed my carbon, lightweight Zip Wheels - hope he got his 5% gain in speed with them.
I'm sure it must have been a blast to compete in this high energy event. Wish I could have done it.
WORKOUTS:
Monday, 11/13/06: BIKE RIDE. Not likely to happen if it's lousy weather. Some of the group have Monday mornings off and we use it for the longer ride day to build the base for the full Ironman disance (112M). But the ride ranges with peeling off for 35-50 miles so there is something for everyone. Also, less traffic on weekdays.
TUESDAY, 11/14/06. TEMPO 6:30am. China Camp group.
HILL REPEATS. We have TWO locations: pick the one that's easiest access for you. With such heavy local traffic, I thought that this would work better for most of the group. I'll try and visit both locations on different Tuesdays.
(If it's raining hard, we'll skip the workout down here; light rain - you're on!).
TUESDAY, 11/14/06. HILL REPEATS. 9am
Tenn. Valley site.
Note: we meet in parking lot by trail head in Tenn. Valley.
TUESDAY, 11/14/06. HILL REPEATS. 9:30am Ross Common site. Kevin will be there and we should have more of a turnout with the time adjustment - as requested.
WORKOUT:
run warmup to Phoenix parking lot to base of dam hill.
- 3X 30" moderate pace repeats (jog recovery down to base), but after 3rd rep, continue with jog to base of Mt. Baldy;
- 3X 1' (jog to base)
- 3X 1:30 (jog down only 1', then repeat rep. This will work you up the hill);
- After 3rd rep, run back to Phoenix parking lot, go back up full length of dam road to top of dam;
- Run easy back down, and out road to tennis courts: do pickup to crest of rise; then run recovery back to Ross Common.
11/14/06. THURSDAY. TRACK 7am &9am at COM.
Look for XC race on Sunday, 11/17 to be held in GG Park. Will be 6K for women and over dirt and grass terrain. See our Tamalpa site for details.
RESULTS
TREASURE ISLAND TRIATHLON 11-5-06
Some of our crew (Dave Champagne, Kevin Porter, Gayle Shimokaji, Bill Donnelly, Leigh Kenny/John and I for the Relay, Mike Durrie, and I know I'm forgetting someone else), decided to participate in the last tri of the season held on TI with the longer Olympic distance on Sat (1.5kS-40kB-10kR).
Dave, and Kevin both had PR's this year on the course,plus a PR on the half marathon the next day!
Gayle, in spite of an injured shoulder which made her last out of the water, still reeled in competitors on the bike and run to take SECOND in the 50 + Div. with a 3:01:10 She never complained about her shoulder and slow swim, but what talent to make up the ground! Congrats Gayle!
BILL DONNELY, I must say, is a man who keeps on improving through sheer hard work. He took THIRD in 55-59 with a 2:50:11!
KEVIN was 14th in the 50-54 div with a 2:54:49 while DAVE took 35th with a 2:57:11.
MIKE DURRIE, our man in Inverness, had the distinction of missing the course record by ONE SECOND for 65-69 div. with a 2:48:25 (30:33-1:19:49-52:17). But he did win his division.
RELAY TEAM: "The Three Amigos" consisting of LEIGHT KENNY, me, and her husband , JOHN. Leigh had an excellent swim in 28:16, I took the chip and proceeded to bike loop which consisted of completing 6 laps on what were some roads in poor condition. I think I hit a bad bump while going around somebody, which gave me a flat - right during the 6th lap!
Oh well, John was waiting. Hurry-up and change that flat, Kees! Changed the flat (always an interesting task when you've been pushing for 21M and trying to do fine motor skills).
Got back on the bike and even caught a "R" division rider , completed the loop and handed off the John. (Chip never recorded my time)
He did an excellent sub 42:00 10K and we still ended up in third place! Always a blast to do these things with good friends.
....more to come. I'm calling it a night-it's late. ¶ 10:40 PM
