Got a hat yesterday. Asics to match my shoes. It has plenty of ventilation. Thanks again to everyone for all the great advice and ideas.

First bands from Ernesto are here. So, I did an indoor brick today. Felt pretty decent. I did have some pain in my right collar bone during the run. Very strange. I can't think of a reason why it would hurt there. The debate about stopping was very, very, short. I just asked myself would I stop in the race? That was all I needed to hear as I cranked the treadmill up even faster.

Happy Labor Day!

Larry

What race are you doing? I am doing the Dewey Beach Sprint tri on 9/16...I am not really ready for it since I had an injury that kept me from working out for several weeks, but hopefully I'll be able to finish and not embarass myself. It will be my first tri and I'm just excited to see what it's like!

I am doing the inaugural nation's triathlon, the first USAT sanctioned race in DC! The race venue is spectacular (IMO), racing in the shadows of the nation's monuments to Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln! This is also my first tri and I just can't wait!

I hope that your injury doesn't hamper your ability to have fun and enjoy the race. Be safe!

I'm doing the Dewey Triathlon also, and its my first. The shortened bike leg makes this a great intro to triathlon. Friends tell me that the swim gets cancelled often with this race due to weather. I hope not. I'm actually looking forward to the swim. I understand that there will be 4 waves of 75 to 85 swimmers for first timers. Maybe I need a helmet instead of a swim cap.

Good Luck!!!

Do or do not. There is no try.
