This isn’t really Unsupportoman. Posted on Monday, April 30th, 2012 at 10:49 pm. A few things today made me realize that there really is no such thing as Unsupportoman, and if there was, it would be a pretty sad thing. This afternoon while catching up on the #IMSG hashtag, I came across this post. Where this woman was thanking everyone who brought her up to this point, where she’s ready for her race. But if you’ve done the training and luck is on your side, anyone can do it. It’s not a br...When I left t...

Time trials and errors. Posted on Friday, April 13th, 2012 at 10:59 am. There are no shortages of warnings coming from experienced triathletes warning against making last-minute changes to your training or race plan. Way to state the obvious, I thought. Granted, I used my biggest race of the year last year to break in my new bike. How many calories do you require per hour? How much sodium do you need? How much do you hydrate? How well will you handle other foods? None of the recommendations gave a defini...

Peak planning using training stress scores. Posted on Monday, April 9th, 2012 at 8:04 am. This is more interesting than it sounds. At least to me. This week TrainingPeaks has added a feature where you can add in your planned TSS scores to estimate when you will be on form for your race. It works pretty simply. You just enter your estimated training stress score into your planned workouts, and it gives you a dotted line showing where you should be at that point. Here is for swim. Here’s the bike:. Yesterd...

Melanie Price's Lake Ontario Crossing and other adventures: Pier 2 Pier 2013
http://melaniepriceadventures.blogspot.com/2013/08/pier-2-pier-2013.html
My mighty fine crew. Sunday, August 25, 2013. Pier 2 Pier 2013. A nice calm swim at the Pier 2 Pier this year. Great water temp at 67F (with a few colder patches). I dodged the law again (against Lynn's cautions).and went naked, and maybe that was why I had a little fish on my toes basically the whole way. Darren very happily rode my draft and has offered me beer for my effort since it helped him beat David across. PS I will let anyone ride in my draft for beer. Pictures from TCoB's page:. Peninsula Padd...

Melanie Price's Lake Ontario Crossing and other adventures: LOST race 2013
http://melaniepriceadventures.blogspot.com/2013/08/lost-race-2013.html
My mighty fine crew. Wednesday, August 14, 2013. The LOST race this year was a smooth swim, for swimmers and for race organizers. As a swimmer it was very pleasant, great temp in my opinion at 62F, comfortable naked, I like swimming in a bit more waves, but it is nice to race flat water, for easy viewing, getting a good rhythm etc. As part of the race organization, the flat water, reasonable temp are so much less stressful! Here's the write-up on the LOST swimming website. View my complete profile. The b...

Melanie Price's Lake Ontario Crossing and other adventures: Lake Ontario Crossing
http://melaniepriceadventures.blogspot.com/p/lake-ontario-crossing.html
My mighty fine crew. On August 11-12,2011 I completed over 41k of swimming across. Swim from Port Dalhousie to Oakville (see my blog: http:/ melaniepriceadventures.blogspot.com/2011/08/touching-that-rock.html. To learn why I choose this route to Oakville, see my destinations blog: http:/ melaniepriceadventures.blogspot.com/2011/03/destinations.html. My training also included learning to eat in the water! But with a little luck (particularly temperature wise), and an amazing team around me, I persevered!

Melanie Price's Lake Ontario Crossing and other adventures: August 2014
http://melaniepriceadventures.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
My mighty fine crew. Monday, August 4, 2014. Being fine with my 1st DNF. Ironman Lake Placid July 27, 2014. I struggled with my focus to train for this race; it started with a nagging leg injury, continued with a cold winter, a niece in NICU for months, busy-ness at work and coaching, etc. I let the excuses distract me and for that I have no excuse, except a feeling that I needed the downtime and wanted to focus on some other things going on with life. Christine is going to Kona. Happy being an Ironfan!
