    I need to be reminded of this occasionally!

    Girl, running is the bane of my life too. But, I have (very slowly) started to enjoy it- but only slightly. I would swim and cycle my whole tri if I could. I think the hill sessions that fanievb suggested would be a good way to go.

    Sho! I am sorry to hear about the metal sandwich, but it is great that you experienced such amazing service from Discovery. That is super impressive

    I am with you 100% I have been thinking the same thing. I suffer from migraines which leave me unable to exercise or function for 3 days (on average). Trying to keep up with my 900 point weekly goal is near impossible if I have a migraine. But it is possible that the reason they do this is because they know that not everyone can maintain the points and so they don't have to reimburse as much.

    Love this!!!
  6. Dullscalpel
    Good idea! Hope you come right

    Just be careful with your fruit intake. Fruit, although it has lots of fibre, has got a fair amount of sugar in it (the good sugar). Too much fruit may spike your blood sugar, which will make you feel tired later on. Add some veg or nuts

    Maybe the energy issue will be resolved after getting a good post training snack in/ diet overhaul

    Welcome! Enjoy your stay

    You can try silvermine. I am not aware of any groups that swim during the week, so you will have to do a swim by yourself in the sea

    Are you maybe over training? And are you taking rest days?
  12. Dullscalpel
    Aw well, good luck with the training!!

    Hi EmJay! Welcome! Where are you based? I am also new to triathlon so looks like we are in the same boat

    Someone is fortunate Work on your core muscles. Not the superficial ones, but the deep ones that are near the spine. After a few core training sessions, your backache should ease.

    Random question, where do you do your open water swims?
  16. Dullscalpel
    I didn't see it on the list of approved wetsuits for IM, that is why I asked. I was just checking because I am seriously considering buying one!
  17. Dullscalpel
    is the blusmooth ITU legal? It looks decent and its an amazing price!

    Is it me, or is the discovery website having issues? Everytime I log in, there is a new issue. Yesterday, I logged in and I "hadn't activated" my healthygear (I have). Then when going to activate it, I was ineligible to activate it. I have yet to see if this has been resolved. Next came healthycare (which has been activated). Another issue that crops up is that it says I have hit my yearly limit for vitality fitness points. I am nowhere near my limit. I managed to workout my fitness points for the year and I have less than 10 000 points (you are capped at 30 000). And, I am also waiting for my fitness assessment points

    This didn't come up when I checked. Thanks!
  20. Dullscalpel
    Thank you so much! I really appreciate this
  21. Dullscalpel
    Thanks, thought I missed something somewhere. Will e-mail them

    A bit off topic, but I am hoping someone has an answer for me. I did the duathlon on 12/2. I haven't received any results yet. Am I supposed to check a website or something. The only thing said about the results is that they would be available online as soon as possible. No indication of where. Has anyone done this year's duathlon and received results?
  23. Dullscalpel
    This section... man, it gave me motivation to train! People can be amazing!
  24. Dullscalpel
    Go to youtube and look up triathlon taren. He gives some very good advice about triathlons. I found his swimming videos very informative and he also draws on his own experience

    You made me laugh out loud! Thanks for the giggle
